[2.0.72] Runtime ReserachTrigger does not contain item.count for craft-item

[Subject314159]

Following the docs: https://lua-api.factorio.com/stable/con ... igger.html

"craft-item" only has members 'item" and "item_quality", but in-game I also get "count"

Additionally I see that technology "space-platform" has a trigger "create-space-platform" which is also not mentioned in the docs. Analyzing the data in game it appears that the research trigger only has a type and no additional properties. Looking at the research itself it appears that it uses the locale from core.cfg:
[technology-trigger]
create-space-platform-specific=Create space platform by sending __1__ to space.
I would also expect to be able to get an item from this trigger (but maybe that is more of a mod interface request)

Added for the next doc release, thanks for the note.

Additionally I see that technology "space-platform" has a trigger "create-space-platform" which is also not mentioned in the docs.

It's already listed as a possible value in type. It's not listed in the list with additional attributes since it doesn't have additional attributes. If you'd like it to have an item, that would also need to be specified in the prototype stage (it doesn't load one currently) so please make a modding interface request for that.

I just ran into this myself.

It seems that the trigger item contains both a `name` and `quality`.

Which is not what it suggests on the page at all.

To me it seems like `item` should go [ItemIDFilter](https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/con ... ilter.html) Just like the `send-item-to-orbit`.

Thanks for noticing this, it should indeed be ItemIDFilter and item_quality shouldn't be there. Fixed for the next doc release.

In the future, please don't post in threads in the resolved subforum, but instead make a new thread, new posts are easily missed here.
