Order string doesn't work

Post by Natha »

Hi,

for my mod I want to reorder all oil-recipes (oil-processing, cracking, solid fuel). But the order string doesn't work (for another subgroup with only one base-recipe (the others are mod-own recipes), it does work).

That doesn't work:

Code: Select all

recipe = function(name, subgroup, order)
	data.raw.recipe[name].subgroup = subgroup
	data.raw.recipe[name].order = order
end

recipe("basic-oil-processing", "oil-processing", "a-a")
recipe("advanced-oil-processing", "oil-processing", "a-b")

recipe("heavy-oil-cracking", "oil-processing", "b-a")
recipe("light-oil-cracking", "oil-processing", "b-b")

recipe("solid-fuel-from-heavy-oil", "oil-processing", "c-a")
recipe("solid-fuel-from-light-oil", "oil-processing", "c-b")
recipe("solid-fuel-from-petroleum-gas", "oil-processing", "c-c")
In game I get this order:
- basic oil processing
- Heavy oil cracking
- Light oil cracking
- Advanced oil cracking
- Petroleum solid fuel
- heavy oil solid fuel
- Light oil solid fuel

If I write this with []-brackets, I get another order (but not the desired).

Can someone help me?

Which version of the game are you using?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I don't think that tables in lua code are actually ever kept in order. maybe you can use table_sort() on their order part of the recipe prototypes.
