Safe to run: __quality__.data-updates ?

[0n0w1c]

Is running __quality__.data-updates from data-updates.lua supposed to be safe?

When I call it, it changes the recycling recipe for nutrients from spoilage to biter eggs.
To me, this is an unexpected result. I am not sure if it is a bug or I should not be calling it.

Code: Select all

    local recipe = data.raw.recipe[recipe_name]
    
    if mods["quality"] then
        local recycling = require("__quality__/prototypes/recycling")

        recycling.generate_recycling_recipe(recipe)
        recipe.auto_recycle = nil
    end

Maybe the proper way is to (re)-generate a specific recycling recipe?

No you're not supposed to call entire Lua files like that. In the data phase, all mods share the same Lua instance so all the functions defined already in Quality are available to you.

Instead, call the function that Quality defines and pass it the name of specific items you want to add recycling recipes for. Or at least read the files in the Quality mod and see what makes sense to call/borrow.
