Bobs mods compatibilities are qued up...

[Adamo]

What I need to figure out is how to make an alternative recipe for asphalt (using tar) active in case your mod is loaded and then put a soft dependency to the mod.

Did you figure out how to do this? I have a method that's worked well in my mods if you would like a code snippet.

No. I can make it work with Bobs' installed, but it then errors when trying to load, while Bobs' is not present.

   -- use their recipe now.

Ahh, thanks for the reminder that I meant to come back to this.

I'm not totally clear on what you want to do, Shenpen, but I take a slightly different approach than what slippycheeze does.

First set the asphalt thing to be an optional mod prereq. Then I would simply do this test, in data-updates.lua or data-final-fixes.lua. Fix the names with the relevant names,

Code: Select all

if data.raw.recipe["other-mod-asphalt"] then
    new_ingred_table = {{"bitumen-asphalt-name", number}, ...other ingredients... }
    new_recipe_table = etc.
    data,raw.recipe["other-mod-asphalt"].ingredients = new_ingred_table
    data.raw.recipe["bitumen-asphalt-recipe"] = new_recipe_table
end

So in a simple case that would change the other guy's recipe. Just be sure he isn't changing it back in his mod at some later data stage. But instead of doing this directly for each recipe, a function might be helpful.

I'm going to write you a function... OK, done.

Code: Select all

replace_in_recipe_io = function(
	recipe,
	old_name,
	new_name,
	amount_mult
)

		recipe = data.raw.recipe[recipe]
	end
	if not recipe 
	or not (type(recipe) == "table")
	or not recipe.type
	or not (recipe.type == "recipe") then
		return false
	end
	if amount_mult == nil 
	or type(amount_mult) ~= "number" then
		amount_mult = 1
	end
	if recipe.result then
		if recipe.result == old_name then
			recipe.result = new_name
			recipe.result_count = math.floor(
				(recipe.result_count or 1)
				* amount_mult
			)
		end
	end
	if recipe.normal and recipe.normal.result then
		if recipe.normal.result == old_name then
			recipe.normal.result = new_name
			recipe.normal.result_count = math.floor(
				(recipe.normal.result_count or 1)
				* amount_mult

		end
	end
	if recipe.expensive and recipe.expensive.result then
		if recipe.expensive.result == old_name then
			recipe.expensive.result = new_name
			recipe.expensive.result_count = math.floor(
				(recipe.expensive.result_count or 1)

	end
	for _,ingredient in pairs(recipe.ingredients or {}) do

If you have any problems, it's only because of some typo, which I will fix if you tell me or if I find a problem with it when I use it down the road. All of the important bases should be covered. This function will take a recipe and replace any ingredients or results called old_name with new_name and multiply the input or output number by amount_mult (rounding down for results, up for ingredients). I have a similar thing for injecting new recipes into techs, if you want that. So just combine the if statements we included above and the use of this function, like

Code: Select all

if data.raw.recipe["other-mod-asphalt"] then
    replace_in_recipe_io(data.raw.recipe["other-mod-asphalt"],"other-mod-asphalt-item","bitumen-asphalt",0.5)
end

to replace the other mod's asphalt with yours and decrease the amount of asphalt used by half. Remember to do it in data-updates.lua or data-final-fixes.lua, whichever is required to be sure you're making your changes AFTER the other mod (or any mod that modifies it) makes any final changes.

If what you're trying to do is take their item as an ingredient to your recipe, then put in data-updates.lua something like,

Code: Select all

if data.raw.item["other-mod-asphalt-precusor-item"] then
    replace_in_recipe_io(data.raw.recipe["bitumen-asphalt"],"bitumen-asphalt-precursor-item","other-mod-asphalt-precursor-item")
end

Since no amount_mult was specified, it'll just leave the ingredient amount the same as the original recipe.

First up: Thank you both for suggestions!

I will take a closer look, when I can.
Im a bit pressed for time, but this is next on my list.

Billbos suggestion:

Code: Select all

if mods["angelspetrochem"] then  -- detected angels petrochem
    update_recipes("my-ethylene", "angles-ethylene")
end


Create a file called utils.lua with contents somthing like this

code:

local Util = {}

function Util.update_recipes(original_item, replacement_item)
  -- code
end

return Util


Then in your data-updates.lua
[3:28 PM]
local Util = require("utils")



data.raw.recipe["ethylene-dl"].results[2].name = "angles-ethylene-gas"
data.raw.recipe["ethylene-dl"].main_product = "angles-ethylene-gas"

FLUID COKING

1. Fluid coking is a continuous fluid bed technology.  It thermally converts heavy hydrocarbons such as vacuum residuum, atmospheric residuum, oil sands bitumen, heavy whole crudes, deasphalter bottoms, or FCC bottoms to lighter products. 

2. Fluid Coking is currently used commercially in refineries for deep conversion and as the resource to upgrade heavy oils/bitumens.

3. FLUID COKING
Fluid coking uses two vessels.  A reactor and a burner.  Both the reactor vessel and burner vessel contain fluidized beds with coke particles circulating between the two vessel by fluidized solids techniques.  Coke particles are circulated to transfer heat to the reactor.  The residuum is cooled by distributing it as a thin film of liquid on the outside of the hot coke particles.

4. Fluid coking process

5. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Heated by the produced coke
Cracking reactions occur inside the heater and the fluidized-bed reactor.
The fluid coke is partially formed in the heater.  Hot coke slurry from the heater is recycled to the fluid reactor to provide the heat required for the cracking reactions.
Fluid coke is formed by spraying the hot feed on the already-formed coke particles.
Reactor temperature is about 520°C, and the conversion into coke is immediate, with complete disorientation of the crystallites of product coke.
The burning process in fluid coking tends to concentrate the metals, but it does not reduce the sulfur content of the coke.

6. Characteristics of fluid coke:
High sulfur content,
Low volatility, poor crystalline structure, and low grindability index.
Flexicoking, integrates fluid coking with coke gasification.
Most of the coke is gasified. Flexicoking gasification produces a substantial concentration of the metals in the coke product.

7. Flexicoking:
Flexicoking process integrates conventional fluid coking with coke gasification process for upgrading heavy resids.
The gasification is effected by the addition of air and steam to a fluidized solids vessels.
The gaseous products are subsequently treated to produce a clean fuel gas.

8. Process description:
Conventional flexicoking process. Dual gasification flexicoking process.

9. Conventional flexicoking
In the simplified flexicoking process residuum feed is injected into the reactor where it is thermally cracked to a full range of vaporized products plus coke, which is deposited on the fluidized coke particles.
The heavier fractions are condensed in the scrubber and are normally recycled back to the coking reactor.
The lighter fractions proceeds overhead from the scrubber to a conventional fractionator.

10. The heat required for the endothermic reaction in the reactor is supplied by a circulating hot- coke stream from the heater. In the gasifier, oxygen which enters at the bottom of the bed can react in two ways.
If it reaches a coke particles, it reacts to produce a mixture of CO and CO2.
Secondly, oxygen can react in the void space between particles with the CO which has been formed to produce more CO2.
Throughout most of the bed, the slow reaction are dominant.

12. Dual gasification flexicoking In the air gasifier, coke is burned with air to provide heat of reaction for the reactor. The steam gasifier with resulting production of low heating value coke gas. In the steam gasifier, a H2/CO rich synthesis gas is produced which can either be water gas shifted for H2 manufacture or used as a synthesis gas. The synthesis gas produced in dual gasification flaxicoking can be used in a variety of ways, including manufacture of

13. Coke is circulated to the air gasifier where it is burned with air to form CO2. Hot coke is also circulated to the steam gasifier where the gasification of carbon with steam to form CO and H2 is one of the predominant reactions taking place. As the result of the steam gasification, all of the components necessary for water gas shift reaction are present, and at the condition of the steam gasifier this reaction is at equilibrium. Since the water gas shift reaction produces some CO2, gasification of coke with this

Mipmapping engine [After Effects]

To avoid tedious work in updating a large number of icons I used a composition with recursive use of the same *.png file.

The composition makes use of the same layout as vanila mipmapped icons with versions going from larger (left) to smaller (right).

I used a 128x128 version for the largest and
"Feedstock" is thus a 128x128 icon.

Use:

Is defined in After Effects CS4

Feeding a new icon is done by "replace footage" (click on png-file and CTR-H) for option to select replacement file.

Output is effected by selecting the main composition and then File/Export/Image sequence
This will export the "video" as a set of images. As this composition is 1 sec and has a framerate of 1/sec. it will export 1 image.

Accept png as format and choose name for icon (i.e. "advanced-chemical-plant.png").
Save.
Repeat for all files.

You can easily make a 64x64 version by removing the 128x128 composition and shaving 128px off of the main composition.

Produce:

In recipes or item definitions you then declare:
icon_size = 128, icon_mipmaps = 5,
or
icon_size = 64, icon_mipmaps =4,
if you chopped off the 128.

Hitchhikers Guide:
"Silver is also produced during the electrolytic refining of copper and by application of the Parkes process on lead metal obtained from lead ores that contain small amounts of silver. Commercial grade fine silver is at least 99.9 percent pure silver and purities greater than 99.999 percent are available."
