How to make a new science pack?

[firestar246]

So I wanted to make a new science pack. I copied science pack 1, changed the name, graphics, and recipe , but it isn't showing up on the laboratories screen. Is there something else I have to do?


Thanks!

Code: Select all

data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[1] = "science-pack-1"
data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[2] = "science-pack-2"
data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[3] = "science-pack-3"
data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[4] = "military-science-pack"
data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[5] = "production-science-pack"
data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[6] = "high-tech-science-pack"
data.raw.lab.lab.inputs[7] = "space-science-pack"

Add here your item.

Thanks for helping me again! Out of curiosity, what would happen if I had this mod and another mod on at the same time that added an 8th input to the lab? Would they conflict or would the game fix it somehow? Just curios...

Code: Select all

table.insert(data.raw["lab"]["lab"].inputs, "your-science-pack")

Yeah, he gave you bad advice. this isn't an array, it's a table, you don't need to specifically reference each item by it's index number to add a new one, simply table.insert. Like what angel posted.

Code: Select all

table.insert(data.raw["lab"]["lab"].inputs, "your-science-pack")

All is table in lua. Of coarse new value must be added to inputs with function table.insert. https://www.lua.org/pil/19.2.html
And vanilla inputs can be written as list:

Code: Select all

data.raw.lab.lab.inputs = {"science-pack-1", "science-pack-2", "science-pack-3", "military-science-pack", "production-science-pack",  "high-tech-science-pack", "space-science-pack"}

There is no different between this code and code above.

There is a significant one: Table.insert appends your argument to the end of the existing table, what you do is override the whole table with your new definition.
