Hey all, I'm, simply trying to change some of the recipes that Space Exploration changed. I'm not getting any errors, but I'm not seeing it in my mods list. I have control.lua, data.lua, info.json, and item.lua in C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods\spex-def-recipies, and below is my item.lua. I'm not quite sure where to go from here.

--item.lua

local spex-def-recipies = table.deepcopy(data.raw["item"]["electronic-circuit"])

spex-def-recipies.name = "spex-def-recipies"
spex-def-recipies.icons = {
{
icon = spex-def-recipies.icon,
tint = {r=1,g=0,b=0,a=0.3}
},
}

local recipe = table.deepcopy(data.raw["recipe"]["electronic-circuit"])
recipe.enabled = true
recipe.name = "electronic-circuit"
recipe.ingredients = {{"copper-cable",3},{"iron-plate",1}}
recipe.result = "electronic-circuit"

data:extend{electronic-circuit,recipe}

Post your data.lua and info.json.

Maybe this would do it?: in file data-updates.lua (or data-final-fixes.lua)

This changes the original recipe in a later data stage to ensure you overwrite former changes (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Data-Lifecycle.html)

data.lua -

data.raw.recipe["electronic-circuit"].ingredients =
{
{"iron-plate", 1},
{"copper-cable", 3}
}

info.json -

{
"name": "spex-def-recipes",
"version": "0.9",
"title": "Space Exploration - Vanilla Recipes",
"author": "DJQuad",
"factorio_version": "1.0",
"dependencies": ["base >= 1.0"],["space-exploration >= 0.4.26"]
"description": "Reverts recipes for green circuits, inserters, and assemblers back to their vanilla versions."
}

You need to include item.lua from data.lua.

Unfortunately that didn't help - I'm still not seeing it in the mod list.

Do you think it would be easiest to just make the recipe changes in the Space Exploration mod files themselves?

Post your factorio-current.log.

It is definitely easier to copy a mod, you are making many mistakes.

Tell me about it. Over my head for sure

0.839 Error ModManager.cpp:910: Mod package read error. JSON parser error in package metadata: Unexpected character ([) at C:/Users/DELLPC/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/mods/spex-def-recipes/info.json:7

The dependencies line should be:
"dependencies": ["base >= 1.0", "space-exploration >= 0.4.26"],

Getting closer, yet so far away.

I should probably just ask in the modding requests forum for a mod that just resets recipes to their vanilla versions. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/YouModRecipe did seem promising but it hasn't been updated for 1.0
