Chem Plant Recipe Parameter BP

Post by LeftyRighty »

I've been playing around with the parameters on the blueprints and have successfully setup a little "drone fed assembler" bp with a parameter setup so you can specify the recipe to make and all the limits/requests/etc. are all handled. Works great, slap it down, pick the thing and away they go :D

Then i try the same thing with the chem plants and... the recipe options are the same as the assembler, ie no lubricant, no acid, no chem plant recipes, but it does list circuit boards, iron plates etc. ... am i missing a trick here to get the parameter to match the "maker" machine recipes or something? :?:

hmmm.... so it works ok if the only thing with the parameter is the recipe in the "maker building" (my approach to em plants is also having the same issue as the chem plants), but i'm using a bunch of circuits/filters etc. that also need to know the "thing" being made.

My current guess is that if the output is a fluid you can't have anything else "that doesn't work with fluids" using that parameter, so i'll need to have "item parameterised BP" and a "fluid parameterised BP" for each of the "maker buildings" so the fluid reciepes show up in the options when you place the bp.

The BP book must grow! :D
