[Solved] [Duplicate] Replacing starting items

[BraveCaperCat]

In the base game, you start with a burner mining drill, stone furnace and wood. How do I change this so that I start with certain items in my mod? Specifically, I want to change this to: A recycler, an assembler, solar panel and power pole. This way, players using my mod can start by producing pistols for free, (my mod adds this recipe) recycle the pistols into iron plates and copper plates (truly comical) and turn the iron plates into whatever else they need. (like iron gearwheels) It would likely be multiple solar panels, or higher quality ones. (my mod already requires quality) I'll note that I want to be able to do this in the data stage, preferably with as little changes as necessary.

Basically you need to use a remote interface to Freeplay.
This lets you access the stuff already there and add new stuff.
Here is a thread that discusses this.

Thank you! It works now. (I didn't use the above code though, I used the much simpler code from the linked thread)
