Hi! Can anyone explain how to make custom technology with research trigger in proper way?
I've tried one, but trigger doesn't work, also rendered in tech tree gui... as correct tech
An another question, how to disable technology with research trigger? If you change it to nil & add unit to technology the whole list of other triggers don't work ....

Example of new tech i've tried:
Code: Select all
{
effects = {
{ recipe = "apm_crusher_machine_0", type = "unlock-recipe" },
{ recipe = "apm_coal_crushed_1", type = "unlock-recipe" },
{ recipe = "apm_stone_crushed_1", type = "unlock-recipe" },
{ recipe = "apm_wood_pellets_1", type = "unlock-recipe" }
},
essential = true,
icon = "__apm_resource_pack_ldinc__/graphics/technologies/apm_crusher_machine_0.png",
icon_size = 128,
name = "apm_crusher_machine_0",
order = "a-a-a",
prerequisites = {},
research_trigger = { count = 5, item = "copper-plate", type = "craft-item" },
type = "technology",
}

The first approoach to disable existing technology was:
Code: Select all
---@param technology_name string
function apm.lib.utils.technology.delete(technology_name)
if not apm.lib.utils.technology.exist(technology_name) then return end
local technology = data.raw.technology[technology_name]
technology.hidden_in_factoriopedia = true
technology.visible_when_disabled = false
technology.essential = false
technology.enabled = false
technology.hidden = true
-- let us find who is linked to this technology and remove the prerequisites
for technology, _ in pairs(data.raw.technology) do
if technology ~= technology_name then
if apm.lib.utils.technology.has.prerequisites(technology, technology_name) then
apm.lib.utils.technology.remove.prerequisites(technology, technology_name)
end
end
end
end
This code successfully hide from the tree technology, but trigger still active and popup with successfully researched tech will appear

Then i've tried to disable research trigger by setting up with `nil`. After this change any other tech-s with researh triggers become unsearchable via crafting items or interact with ores/oil
Code: Select all
---@param technology_name string
function apm.lib.utils.technology.delete(technology_name)
if not apm.lib.utils.technology.exist(technology_name) then return end
local technology = data.raw.technology[technology_name]
technology.hidden_in_factoriopedia = true
technology.visible_when_disabled = false
technology.essential = false
technology.enabled = false
technology.hidden = true
if technology.research_trigger then
technology.research_trigger = nil
technology.unit = {
ingredients = {},
time = 1,
count = 1,
}
end
-- let us find who is linked to this technology and remove the prerequisites
for technology, _ in pairs(data.raw.technology) do
if technology ~= technology_name then
if apm.lib.utils.technology.has.prerequisites(technology, technology_name) then
apm.lib.utils.technology.remove.prerequisites(technology, technology_name)
end
end
end
end
