[2.0.25] Factoriopedia shows impossible recycling recipes

[IsaacOscar]

Bassically, I think it's impossible to use some of the recipes, as you can't obtain the associated items:
for example Rocket Parts:

Also the shortcut items:
Copper wire, green wire, red wire, spidertron remote, discharge defense remote, and artillary remote:

As well as vehicle weapons:

There's even a recycling recipe for science! (you can see this by alt-clicking 'science' in the production statistics):

My mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/recycling-factoriopedia) solves this by hidding recycling recipes if:

• The item is a paramater (factorio doesn't show these)
• The item is hidden in factoriopedia (this will hide rocket parts, vehicle weapons, and science, etc.) [Note that it's the rocket part recipe that is shown in factoriopedia, not the item]
• The item has the "only-in-cursor" flag (this covers the shortcut bar tools).

"rocket-part" IS an Item, although you cannot "Legitimately" obtain it in game since Rocket Silo is the only assembler for that recipe.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.insert{name="rocket-part", count=100}

Feeding it into a Recycler does (eventually) yield the expected Resources back..... so this sure seems like a Valid recipe, albeit one that is only useful in-Editor.

Incidentally, while you can place the Rocket Parts "into" the Output slot of a Silo, they are not "absorbed" and do not increase the Rocket Progress.

Yes, as are all the other things I mentioned (even science!), but you very much should not be able to obtain those without mods, cheats, custom scenarios, or the editor.

Yes, it's just confusing for players who might try to recycle rocket parts and waste time trying to figure it out...

What? Silo's don't have output slots.

Yes they do?

Placing the Rocket Part items into the slot doesn't DO anything; but the Slot is definitely there.

Woops.
Why does that slot even exist?
