There's a localised_description field, which makes it possible to set the description programmatically during the data phase:bobingabout wrote:Yes, it would be possible to do that. someone actually mentioned it to me the other day, but I didn't make a note of it.
Number, no, because you can change it, and reading that into the locale isn't easy, if even possible in the description, but I can slap a simple "Tier 4" as a description of a pipe.
I added the following to locale:
Code: Select all
[entity-description]
bob-pipe-to-ground=Max distance: __1__
Code: Select all
function bobmods.logistics.set_pipe_distance(pipe, level)
if data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe] then
for index, connection in pairs(data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].fluid_box.pipe_connections) do
if connection.max_underground_distance then
local distance = bobmods.logistics.pipe_distance(level)
data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].fluid_box.pipe_connections[index].max_underground_distance = distance
data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].localised_description = {"entity-description.bob-pipe-to-ground", distance}
end
end
end
end
Which also shows that you haven't quite gotten to adjusting recipe costs to match underground distance.
Of course, you probably want to do something slightly different since this quick hack only works when the underground distance overhaul is enabled.
