Hi! Im trying to add in mod VersepellesHardStorage a new item - iron crate (so i dont want own mod, just change a bit some stuff), and im realy new in mod writing.

So i copy all code for wooden crate and make iron crate. So you can easely find it (mod is realy little)

But in game a have 2 wooden crates, one from mod and one with my recipe, but they both are wooden crate. So i want wooden with 30 inv.size and iron with 40.

I dont know why my code wont work properly. pls help.

you also need textures/sprites for the iron crate

i add them. Problem is not in sprites.

In recipe.lua: The result should be "iron-crate".

Code: Select all

  {
   type = "recipe",
   name = "iron-crate",
   enabled = "true",
   ingredients = 
    {
		{"iron-chest", 4},
		{"iron-plate", 10},
	},
	result = "wooden-crate",
	result_count = 1,
  },

The result should be "iron-crate".

now it looks like my crate in recipes, but gives wooden crate after craft...

Are you sure? It works for me on a newly started map*. Maybe there's some other mod changing it somehow?

* after removing the "science-pack-4" from technologies.lua. If the mod uses items from another mod you should include that mod in the dependencies.

thx a lot! It works fine in new game. It was a bug in savegame.

I see now what the issue was. When changing recipes in a mod that already exists in a savegame you then have to call LuaForce.reset_recipes to load the changes (or change the version number of the mod, that would call reset_recipes automatically).
