Hello there,

I want to add a crafting category also for the player. Right now I have a modded a small machine (packager) which should not show all other recipes, therefore I started using a crafting_category. Now I also want the player to be able to craft the same recipes.

The following I found online, but it seems not to be working:
"packager-pack" would be the new crafting category.

Thanks for your help!
cheers,
judos

try this:

Did you package machine work as expected?
Are recipes researched/enabled?
There seems nothing wrong with the code listed.
You may try temporarily putting that right into player definition on base. If they don't appear after that, then something is wrong with recipes or category.

Nice this works. At least when I'm not in ghost mode (I used this to check my mod items etc.) Is it possible to connect the character again to the player perspective?
Does this also work for multiplayer?
I right now have this one line at the beginning of my entity.lua file before the data:extend(..).

In the first brackets you specify a 'type' and in the second brackets you specify the 'name' of that type. Otherwise the game doesn't know what to adjust.

@Judos I don't know if it works in multiplayer, you will have to try it out. Report your results back here please

I played the mod several days on a server and it works nicely.
Probably this is because the command changes the prototype of the player even before any instances are created and therefore it will be used for any player.

Problem is solved
