In one of my mods, I force belt immunity on and I want to hide the technology and recipes.
In data-final-fixes:

-- force belt immunity on
data.raw['character']['character'].has_belt_immunity = true
data.raw.technology["belt-immunity-equipment"].hidden = true
data.raw.technology["belt-immunity-equipment"].visible_when_disabled = false
data.raw.recipe["belt-immunity-equipment"].hidden = true
data.raw.recipe["belt-immunity-equipment"].hidden_from_player_crafting = true
data.raw.item["belt-immunity-equipment"].group = nil

This hides everything except in the filters dialog when setting an item slot in the inventory. The item shows up under the unsorted items group.

Is there a way to hide the belt-immunity-equipment completely, or disable the display of the unsorted items group?
Can groups be hidden?

I've never seen someone set item.group to nil. You can set items to hidden with the "flags" property. https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Item#flags

Setting item group to null has the same effect as setting group or subgroup to "other". Which basically is the 'unsorted items group'. It appears that the "other" group can not be hidden.

Edit: That is what was missing. I added:

Code: Select all

data.raw.item["belt-immunity-equipment"].flags = { "hidden" }

Probably don't need to set the group to nil.

Probably don't need to set the group to nil.

For the sake of "just in case", may be best to add the "hidden" flag to the table vs overwriting it.

Code: Select all

table.insert(data.raw.item["belt-immunity-equipment"].flags, "hidden")

Cool. Thanks.
Edit: Since flags didn't exist, I had to do this.

Code: Select all

table.insert(data.raw.item["belt-immunity-equipment"], flags)
data.raw.item["belt-immunity-equipment"].flags = { "hidden" }

And thanks to Bilka in this post: viewtopic.php?t=60020

Code: Select all

-- note that [item].flags is overwritten
local function disable_recipe(recipe) -- and item
   if not data.raw.recipe[recipe] then return end
   if data.raw.recipe[recipe].normal then
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].normal.enabled = false
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].expensive.enabled = false
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].normal.hidden = true
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].expensive.hidden = true
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].normal.hidden_from_player_crafting = true
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].expensive.hidden_from_player_crafting = true
   else
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].enabled = false
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].hidden = true
      data.raw.recipe[recipe].hidden_from_player_crafting = true
   end
   local item = recipe
   if not data.raw.item[item].flags
   then      
      table.insert(data.raw.item[item], flags)
   end
   data.raw.item[item].flags = { "hidden" }
end

-- call subroutine like this:
-- disable_recipe("electric-mining-drill")
