When exporting data, some recipes are exported without a value for energy_required.

What I did:

mkdir -p empty-dir

factorio --mod-directory ./empty-dir --dump-data

DATA="$HOME/.factorio/script-output/data-raw-dump.json"

jq -r '.recipe[] | select(.energy_required == null) | .name' $DATA > recipes-missing-energy-required.txt

wc -l recipes-missing-energy-required.txt

63 recipes have no energy_required, some (11) of than are expected of course (i.e. parameter-0), but the other (52) should have it, or at least I expected than to have.

Thanks for the report however this is working correctly. The field is optional and so isn't required to be set.
