"Integrated Circuit" when I need 4 tiles for a simple SR flip-flop?
I agree that 2x1 entities for simple logic functions is silly. I've said it before and I'll say it again, those should simply be a single multi-use entity where when you open them up are presented with an 8x8 grid, and in each square you can choose a function, and wire them back to other squares, similar to how the PAL16V8 chip works IRL. (and although that has 8 inputs and 8 input/output lines, the entity would likely only have a red and green input and output, similar to now)

okay something I was working on with someone to force people to get the no lasers achieve (literally all the code you need to do that)
Code: Select all
data.raw["technology"]["laser-turrets"]["unit"]["ingredients"] = {
{"science-pack-1", 1},
{"science-pack-2", 1},
{"science-pack-3", 1},
{"production-science-pack", 1},
{"high-tech-science-pack", 1},
{"space-science-pack", 1}
}
there's a list of internal names here
https://wiki.factorio.com/Internal_object_names so swap out to "advanced-circuit" and probably "item" not "technology" but I'll double check *ten minutes looking though game files and finally opening data/base/prototypes/recipe/recipes.lua and /prototype/technology/technology.lua* no it's actually "recipe" and then you need to do name = "Integrated Circuit" Which comes down to
Code: Select all
data.raw["recipe"]["advanced-circuit"]{name = "Integrated Circuit"}
Then you need to pack it into a mod voila. (so long as it doesn't delete the other components of it you'll be fine)
1. that would change the recipe's name, not the item name
2. actually changing the "name" tag is a bad idea, it would break everything.
The easiest way to change it is to use Locale entries, and simply set the following code in a locale file.
Code: Select all
[item-name]
advanced-circuit=Integrated circuit
The end result will be a perfectly working advanced circuit, that apears to be named "Integrated circuit" instead.
Actually changing the internal name would require a lot of messing about. I tried to do that with my electronics mod once... now I just butcher the base game's locale name, recipe and icon.
Note, in my mod they are actually called "Logic circuit board", and one of the components is a chip like device named "integrated circuit".
