Replace liquid with solid in recipe dynamic. (Resolved)

[Ranakastrasz]

I want to loop through all recipes and replace lubricant with an item equivalent. How can I remove the liquid type entry and crafting category?
Needs to support mods, so I can't just overwrite them all manually.

You cannot do this dynamically. Recipes are read-only after the data stage in a mod.

I meant something more like this

Code: Select all

for name, capsule in pairs(data.raw.capsule) do
	if capsule.capsule_action.attack_parameters then
		data:extend({
		{
			type = "recipe",
			name = "dispensable-" .. capsule.name,
			enabled = false,   
            category = "advanced-crafting", 
			ingredients = {{capsule.name,1}},
			result = "dispensable-" .. capsule.name,
			},
		})
	end
end

From Combat Variations.

Instead, find all recipes with Liquid lubricant in them, replace it with solid lubricant item, and make it a normal recipe if it no longer uses liquid.

That code is creating new recipes. You sound as though you need to change existing ones.

You need something like this (UNTESTED):

Code: Select all

for name,recipe in pairs(data.raw.recipe) do
	for k, v in pairs(recipe.ingredients) do
 		-- Examples of different ingredient formats
		-- {"engine-unit", 1},
		-- {type="fluid", name= "lubricant", amount = 2},
		-- bobs-mod replacements are like
		-- {amount = 3, name = "basic-circuit-board", type = "item" }
		-- YOU CODE here to test for lubricant and change it something else
	end
end

Yes, like that. That was just the closest example that I could find at the time.
Main issue was that I couldn't figure out how to remove the type="fluid"
Apperently however, you can set that to "item", and it works fine.

Code: Select all

function round(num, idp)
  local mult = 10^(idp or 0)
  return math.floor(num * mult + 0.5) / mult
end

function process(recipe)
    for _, ingredient in pairs (recipe.ingredients) do
        if ingredient.type == "fluid" then
            if ingredient.name == "lubricant" then
                ingredient.type = "item"
                ingredient.name = "solid-lubricant"
                ingredient.amount = round(ingredient.amount * 2.0)
            end
        end
    end
end

for i, recipe in pairs (data.raw["recipe"]) do
    if (recipe.category == nil) or (recipe.category == "crafting-with-fluid") then
        process(recipe)
    end
end

Works so far as I can tell.

If you don't mind using my library mod (or look at it to see how I did it in the library) https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Bobingabout/boblibrary

Code: Select all

bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient_in_all(old, new)

in this case, old is "lubricant", and new is, whatever you want. EG

Code: Select all

bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient_in_all("lubricant", "coal")

It does not take the crafting category into account though, but since it's fluid to solid, shouldn't be a problem.
though, amount will likely be an issue
