Unintentionally changing recipes from another mod

[Darknesspk89]

Hey all,

In the last few days I've gotten into Factorio modding, but I've hit a weird issue.
For a test mod I've made a few new modules, including 3 new tiers of the basic ones.
For some odd reason, some of BobsEquipment recipes containing modules like the Fusion Reactor mk2-3-4 and others have some of the modules suddenly switched for my higher tier modules.
Is this a function of BobsEquipment mod that will look for higher tier modules if available, or did I mess anything up?

I checked the code for Bobs, the recipes ask for { "effectivity-module-3", 2 }, { "speed-module-3", 2 ] and { "productivity-module-3", 2 }.
The names of the modules they are 'upgrading' to are called "speed-module-4" to 6, and "productivity-module-4" to 6.

How can I prevent this from happening?

[Bilka]

How are you making the modules and what else are you modifying?

[Darknesspk89]

I'm making the modules as new items in a separate mod I'm making for myself, I've changed nothing in Bobs mods or any others.
They work fine though, I've added the recipes and technologies myself as well.

[Bilka]

Please share the code, it's very difficult to help based on vague descriptions.

Edited with correct code.

[Bilka]

Thank you. In that code you're not copying or modifying anything in any way that may mess with other prototypes, that's what I was looking for.

So there is most likely some code in another mod rewriting the recipe. Maybe even in bobequipment itself. You could try to search there first, if there is code that modifies the recipes it's probably in https://github.com/modded-factorio/bobs ... pdates.lua.

[Darknesspk89]

Thank you, I will check there and see what I can do.

[Darknesspk89]

Yep, I found this:

Code: Select all

if data.raw.module["effectivity-module-4"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("energy-shield-mk4-equipment", "effectivity-module-3", "effectivity-module-4")
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-2", "effectivity-module-3", "effectivity-module-4")
end

if data.raw.module["speed-module-4"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-2", "speed-module-3", "speed-module-4")
end

if data.raw.module["productivity-module-4"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("energy-shield-mk4-equipment", "productivity-module-3", "productivity-module-4")
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-2", "productivity-module-3", "productivity-module-4")
end

if data.raw.module["effectivity-module-6"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("energy-shield-mk5-equipment", "effectivity-module-3", "effectivity-module-6")
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-3", "effectivity-module-3", "effectivity-module-6")
end

if data.raw.module["speed-module-6"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-3", "speed-module-3", "speed-module-6")
end

if data.raw.module["productivity-module-6"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("energy-shield-mk5-equipment", "productivity-module-3", "productivity-module-6")
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-3", "productivity-module-3", "productivity-module-6")
end

if data.raw.module["effectivity-module-8"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("energy-shield-mk6-equipment", "effectivity-module-3", "effectivity-module-8")
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-4", "effectivity-module-3", "effectivity-module-8")
end

if data.raw.module["speed-module-8"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-4", "speed-module-3", "speed-module-8")
end

if data.raw.module["productivity-module-8"] then
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("energy-shield-mk6-equipment", "productivity-module-3", "productivity-module-8")
  bobmods.lib.recipe.replace_ingredient("fusion-reactor-equipment-4", "productivity-module-3", "productivity-module-8")

Is there any way to prevent this from happening besides changing the names of my modules? Or changing Bobs manually of course, but I want to be able to upload my mod if I feel satisfied with it.

[Bilka]

You could change the recipe back afterwards in your own mod (optionally depend on bobequipment and then change the recipes in data-updates). You could also try to ask the maintainer of the mod if they can add some way to prevent the change.

[Darknesspk89]

Thanks for all the help Bilka, I think I got it working now
