How to use "Ingredient of" Parametrised blueprints?

Post by bnrom »

I can't seem to use the Ingredient of option for Parametrised blueprints...

When I try and select the ingredient of option, it shows "Nothing found," as in the attached screenshot.

How does one use this feature?

And if drag a parameter into the slot (using the pipette tool), things look very strange, with it showing a recycler recipe that recycle parameters to parameters.

Hm, this might be bugged currently? I rebuilt the example from the wiki and I got the same problem

Hm, have you tried using that paramater as a recipe in an assembling maccine or other device?

I can't seem to figure out the correct way to use this feature either, especially considering the following about the "ingredient of (item) #X" feature:
  • Cannot be manually chosen; only counting up from #1
  • Successive ingredients are dependent on the existence of a potential parameter in the list
  • The number of potential parameters is limited to the number of unique filters in the blueprint
So, it seems impossible to choose, say, "ingredient of (item) #3" and ignore the rest. For example, I want to create a blueprint with a single configurable parameter for a Lv2 Module and have the Lv1 Module dependency be selected automatically for assemblers that will output into the Lv2 assembler. As is, I can only get ingredient #1, which is the red circuits.

IIRC this happened to me too

It seemed that you need to the have the recipe above the "ingredient of" lines.

Para0 = item to produce
Para1 = ingredient of Para0
Para2 = ingredient of Para0

If the line of Para0 is below 1&2, you can't select 0 in either of them.

Would need to login to test if that's what happened to me.

Edit: sorry, I clearly can't read pictures on my phone...
First picture shows it's in order.
At least the parameters are.
If you mouseover them, you see what's actually parameterized. Should say "recipe in assembler", filter in inserter, request in chest, etc...
Sometimes the lines appear to be selected by dice. First thing I do is reorder them. When I forget, stupid things happen (error behind screen, not saying anything is bugged)

You need assembling machine in a blueprint to be able to select ingredients.
