I'm still fairly new to modding so im sorry if this is obvious.
I need a recipe to produce nothing. Thats all.

Here is what I've got:

Code: Select all

{
type = "recipe",
name = "FREE",
icon = "__air-filtering__/graphics/icons/filter-air.png",
category = "crafting-air-filter",
energy_required = 1,
enabled = "true",
ingredients =
{
},
result = "*Need help here*" -- This line is my problem.
}

What happens if you remove the result line?

Try this:

Code: Select all

results = { { } }

or

result = {}

The game wants an array and also something in there.

But something like this works:

Code: Select all

    results=
    {
      {type="item", name="iron-plate", amount=1, probability=0},
    },

If it's a dummy recipe that don't needs to be shown in the crafting menu you can also add

Code: Select all

    hidden = "true",

to the recipe, it wont show up in the "e" crafting menu then.
