[2.0.21] "quality" missing from migrations json list

Post by warbob5000 »

The list for JSON migrations does not list "quality" as an available type.

I think the list could be simplified by just deleting it and saying "all prototype types support migrations"
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

That's probably a better idea - context of my request was I had a mod adding extra qualities, and eventually wanted to revert to standard. I'm new to Factorio modding itself but I've made a few mods for other games so checked documentation, saw that migrations had a long list but not the one I wanted, and so started trying to code a lua migration with some help from the Discord's #mod-dev-help - one of them suggested I try a json migration anyway, which turned out to work. One of the people helping me suggested I make a doc improvement request.

I think it's fine to keep the list as long as it's specified it's not an exhaustive one. The way it's currently worded implies that only those listed types are available. If indeed "all prototype types" are supported then perhaps an idea would be to link to the Prototypes page?

That's against the spirit of having documentation.
