ive had a Color blind science pack mod for a while now, and it changes every science pack icon except for Space Science pack when viewing in assembler on the unlock recipe in the technology view.

i expected my mod to properly change icons uniformly with the same mod structure of
data.raw.item["space-science-pack"].icon = "__cb-science-Alk__/graphics/icons/space.png"
data.raw.technology["space-science-pack"].icon = "__cb-science-Alk__/graphics/technology/space.png"
like it correctly does for every other science pack, including the ones added in Space Age.

i did some digging and in space-age > prototypes > recipe.lua line 751 Space-science-pack gets a icon defined while NO OTHER RECIPIE does.
commenting out that single line produces the expected result, allowing my mod to properly change the icon uniformly.

Thanks for the report however this is not a bug.

thats disappointing, but i fail to see how its not a bug.
unless the bug is actually that the other science packs not defining a recipe icon is the bug...

Recipes can define any icon they like - that is an intended working part of the prototypes system. When writing a mod you can modify any part of any definition you like - that is also part of the modding system.

FWIW, it looks like the author of the mod in question fixed the mod 9 hours ago to correctly override the recipe icon as well: https://github.com/Alkumist/cb-science- ... -fixes.lua

Edit: Oh, that's you

yup. I was previously using Quality Glassworks backend, and i have notified them through the mod portal that recipe icons also need to be changed.
