How I can to add resource to new resource category? For example, I have ore, which is can mineable only with special expensive mining drill.
I create new category:
Code: Select all
data:extend({
{
type = "resource-category",
name = "new_ore"
},
})
and adding to my mining drill this property
Code: Select all
resource_categories = {"new_ore"},
But I don't understand, how to add my resource to this category, resources haven't properties, associated with categories. Pls, help me solve this problem

Moved from Modding interface requests to Modding help.
crude-oil has this in the resources.lua:
The other resources don't have such a line, so I assume the default value is
basic-solid, since the vanilla game only has
basic-solid and
basic-fluid as resource categories.
Have you tried setting the category that way?
Another approach you could take is setting the mining hardness of your new ore a little bit higher, and give your new mining drill a little bit more mining power, so the ore can only be mined with your mining drill. I'm not sure how that mining drill would interact with existing ores though.

wow, [category = "new_ore",] is really work! Now my miner can be placed only on my ore, which is what I wanted! how could I not notice such an easy decision... I checked everything, but I always ignored the oil.
Big thanks for fast and useful help!
