[Question] Is there a Way to remove ... ?

[LuziferSenpai]

Hey Guys, is there a way to completly remove a Tech, Item, Recipe etc. ?

I know the ways:

Code: Select all

data.raw["technology"]["armor-making"] = nil
data.raw["technology"]["armor-making"] = {}

But then i get a Error with AssignID's.
Please help me.

Greetz,

Cookie

You have to remove all references to the thing you want to remove.

If you remove an item you need to remove any recipes that use it.

If you remove an technology you need to remove other technologies that reference it.

If you remove an entity you need to remove all items that reference it and any other entity that references it.

And is there an easy way to see what i need to remove?

1. Install Notepad++ or any other program with a good file search.
2. Search the Factorio folder for the item you want to remove.

I'm likely to do many typos but you can get the idea

data-final-fixes.lua

Code: Select all

remove_things={"iron-plate"}
for _,thing in pairs(remove_things) do

    for n,p in pairs(data.raw) do
        if p.name==thing then
            if p.place_result then table.insert(remove_things,p.place_result) end
            data.raw[n]=nil
        end
        if p.mining_result==thing or p.result=thing then
              table.insert(remove.things, p.name)
             data.raw[n]=nil
        end
        if p.ingredients then 
              for k,v in pairs(p.ingredients) do
                   if v[1]==thing then
                         table.remove(p.ingredients,k)
                         if #p.ingredients==0 then
                                  table.insert(remove.things, p.name)
                                  data.raw[n]=nil
                         end
                   end
              end
        end
        if p.effects then
              for k,v in pairs(p.effects)
                   if v.recipe==thing
                         table.remove(p.effects,k)
                         if #p.effects==0 then
                                  table.insert(remove.things, p.name)
                                  data.raw[n]=nil
                         end
                   end
              end
        end 
    end
