My problem:
right now there seems to be no way to restrict what kind of seed goes into what kind of agricultural-tower (when modders add new types), that means anything that has a "plant_result" will be displayed in every agricultural towers.

Proposed solution:
My request would be to add a "seed-category" prototype,

Code: Select all

  {
    type = "seed-category",
    name = "default-agriculture",
  },
  
  (in agricultural tower)
  seed_categories = {"default-agriculture"}, <-- default value
  
  (in item)
  seed_category = {"default-agriculture"}, <-- default value

Cross-posting from here, I'd searched but had missed this post. +1, this would be greatly beneficial for using the agricultural tower in more unique and diverse contexts while modding.

The reason I think this is "important" is that every prototype that borrows from the agricultural-tower prototype becomes basically just another agricultural tower. It's like not having crafting categories for assembling machines
Currently, you can basically do agriculture on my computer tower, and use data cards on agricultural towers
