How to add crafting categories to recipes that can be crafted by hand.

[yaim904]

Hello,

I hope you are well,

I need help with the following:
Create a few categories for the mod recipes, and all is well.

I want players to be able to craft the recipes of a category, but I can't find a way to do it.

The following code worked but not well

Code: Select all

local CharacterCategories = data.raw[ 'character' ][ 'character' ]
CharacterCategories = CharacterCategories[ 'crafting_categories' ]
table.insert( CharacterCategories, 1, 'xXx' )

local GodCategories = data.raw[ 'god-controller' ][ 'default' ]
GodCategories = GodCategories[ 'crafting_categories' ]
table.insert( GodCategories, 1, 'xXx' )

In the red circle you can see an object that is equivalent to 1K iron plate, in the yellow circle you can see the recipe that does the conversion.

The iron chests that can be created with the materials that you have, are calculated including my recipe, but you can see in the blue circle, the recipes of my category are not included in the calculations.

And in the green circle the calculations ignore my recipes again.

And even if I use the recipe and increase iron plate the recipes are not updated.

The following is the result when the above code is not executed.

Hello, there is no way to do what I want?

Make sure that the recipes that should be queued automatically have https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Rec ... termediate set to true.

Thanks for your answer.
I tried with that property and it didn't work.

In that screenshot your character doesnt seem to have the crafting categories. You need that and the other property.

What you say is true.
I created the category is for specific machines.

In this example the category I created is xXx

Code: Select all

local CharacterCategories = data.raw[ 'character' ][ 'character' ]
CharacterCategories = CharacterCategories[ 'crafting_categories' ]
table.insert( CharacterCategories, 1, 'xXx' )

local GodCategories = data.raw[ 'god-controller' ][ 'default' ]
GodCategories = GodCategories[ 'crafting_categories' ]
table.insert( GodCategories, 1, 'xXx' )

But I want some of those recipes to be able to be made by hand, but not on other machines.

I know that if I remove the "category" property, the recipes can be made by hand, but they can also be made on machines other than the ones I want.

If I am not making myself understood, please ask the questions you need to understand.

It's been a long time since the last comment, but now I understand what you told me, thanks for the help.

Update: 2025 02 03

Today I tried to update my MOD following the directions you gave me and it doesn't work.
I have version 2.0.32, here is the code I'm using and the images

I am creating alternative recipes and have created the recipes for the other objects, but only with this one the problem occurs.

Code: Select all

data:extend({ {
    ['type'] = 'recipe',
    ['name'] = 'zzzYAIM904-9000-u-iron-gear-wheel',
    ['icon'] = '__base__/graphics/icons/iron-gear-wheel.png',
    ['ingredients'] = {
        [1] = {
            ['type'] = 'item',
            ['name'] = 'wood',
            ['amount'] = 1
        }
    },
    ['results'] = {
        [1] = {
            ['type'] = 'item',
            ['name'] = 'iron-gear-wheel',
            ['amount'] = 10
        }
    },
    ['localised_name'] = {
        [1] = '',
        [2] = {
            [1] = 'item-name.iron-gear-wheel'
        }
    },
} })

Without the alternative recipe

I have enough iron plates to build conveyor belts and burner inserter.
