Hi,

When I click on a provider chest's filter options, certain items are not showing up to select.
In my mods I can't find Fertilizer or Alien Artifacts. (Search also does not show them)

Why is that? What do I need to change on the items to make them show up?


Thx

The crafting gui displays recipes. The filter gui filters for items. So, it doesn't show the alien artifact because there is no such item or the item is hidden.

I have a recipe to craft Alien artifacts from Small Artifacts. Also, what About the Fertilize, I can craft those?



Thanks.

Uh, did you understand what I said? Crafting gui shows recipes. Filter gui for items shows items. For both of them, if the item/recipe has the "hidden" flag/property, it will be hidden. Items and recipes are different things, in case that is not obvious.

Maybe a vanilla example helps? Kovarex enrichment is shown in the crafting gui but not filter gui because it's a recipe, not an item. Uranium-235 is shown in the filter gui because it is an item, but there is no recipe of that name so it is not shown in the crafting gui. Rocket parts are not shown anywhere because both the recipe and the item are set to be hidden.

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
