I cannot find information about restrictive dependencies in the WIKI.

I would like to see an official example of how to use restrictive dependencies somewhere.
The modding tutorial should show this.

What are these "restrictive dependencies" supposed to be?
Something you declare in info.json? Non-optional dependencies could be considered a form of restriction, but why create a specific term for that?
Or something related to prototypes, entities, etc.? The modding API has a few hits each for "restrict" and "depend", but they don't appear together.
Overall, I don't think "restrictive dependencies" are a thing that exists within factorio.

Please read the following.
"There are required dependencies, and optional dependencies. The third kind, restrictive dependencies, ... "
https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Modd ... al/Gangsir

It is something many mods use in the info.json file. And Yes, it Is a thing.

The paragraph feels like some combination of overly vague and outdated/wrong. At least the context makes it clear what "restrictive dependencies" are supposed to be: The official documentation calls them "incompatibilities"; "conflicts" is another common name.

I have updated the tutorial to have up-to-date information and made it link to the corresponding API docs page.
I also made a request to improve that part of the docs viewtopic.php?t=136101

Thanks, that looks much better.
