Request: specify assembling machine GUI localised string

Post by Deadlock989 »

Hi,

When you open an assembling machine's recipe selection GUI, you get something like this:
Untitled.png
Untitled.png (19.16 KiB) Viewed 1460 times
This string is apparently hardcoded - it's in the core (not base) locale as gui-assembling-machine.choose-recipe.

Would it be possible for us to specify an override for this default in an assembling machine's prototype?

Use case: entities which are not really assembling machines and don't actually "assemble" things but have to use an assembling-machine type entity as the best case workaround, e.g. alloy furnaces, pulverisers etc.

Actually - this is pretty low priority. I've worked around it by overriding the localised string with a super-generic "Choose a recipe:". If it's easy to do, it would be nice, but not earth-shattering.

Cheers anyway.

That's pretty invasive though, as it overrides it for other mods and such as well.
