Prototype/Recipe

2018-05-01T20:03:22Z

Kovarex: Changed the bracket style to be consistent and the way it is written with the way how it is in base game.

== Basics ==
A recipe. It can be a crafting recipe, a smelting recipe, or a custom type of recipe (see [[Prototype/RecipeCategory]]).

== General properties ==
Inherits all properties from [[Prototype]].

=== category ===
'''Type''': [[Types/string]]

'''Default''': "crafting"

Optional. The category of this recipe. The default is "crafting". The built-in categories can be found [[Data.raw#recipe-category|here]]. See also [[Prototype/RecipeCategory]].

=== subgroup ===
'''Type''': [[Types/string]]

Optional. The subgroup of this recipe. If not specified, defaults to the subgroup of the product if there is only 1, or main_product if multiple products exist. If multiple products exit and no main_product is specified, the subgroup is required.

=== icon ===
'''Type''': [[Types/FileName]]

Either icon or icons is mandatory for recipe with more than 1 product and no main_product. Otherwise defaults to the icon of main_product/1 product.

If given, it overwrites the icon of the main_product/1 product.

=== icon_size ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint]]

Mandatory if "icon" is defined (regardless of whether icon is mandatory). The size of the square icon, in pixels, e.g. 32 for a 32px by 32px icon.

=== icons ===
Either icon or icons is mandatory for recipe with more than 1 product and no main_product. Otherwise defaults to the icon of main_product/1 product.

If given, it overwrites the icon of the main_product/1 product.

=== crafting_machine_tint ===
'''Type''': [[Types/table]] of [[Types/Color]]

'''Default''': nil

Format:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">crafting_machine_tint = { primary = {r=0,g=0,b=0,a=0}, secondary = {r=0,g=0,b=0,a=0}, tertiary = {r=0,g=0,b=0,a=0}}</syntaxhighlight>

Each key/value pair is optional and defaults to the above value.

== Recipe data ==
If the recipe does not have a difficulty, this is located directly in the prototype. Otherwise, if the "normal" or "expensive" property exists, the recipe has difficulty. Then, the recipe data has to be specified for each difficulty instead of directly in the prototype. If at least one difficulty has recipe data defined, the other difficulty can be set to false. This will give it the exact same properties as the difficulty that is defined. See below for examples.

=== ingredients ===
'''Type''': [[Types/table]]

A table containing ingredient names and counts. For example:
<pre>
ingredients = {{"iron-stick", 2}, {"iron-plate", 3}}
</pre>
or the same with full format:
<pre>
ingredients = {{type = "item", name = "iron-stick", amount = 2}, {type = "item", name = "iron-plate", amount = 3}}
</pre>
Maximal ingredient amount is 65535.

=== result ===
'''Type''': [[Types/string]]

Can be replaced with the results parameter. The item created by this recipe. Must be the name of an item, such as "iron-gear-wheel".

=== result_count ===
'''Type''': [[Types/unsigned]]

Optional. The number of items created by this recipe. The default is 1.

=== results ===
'''Type''': [[Types/table]]

A table containing result names and counts. For example:
<pre>
results=
{
{type="fluid", name="heavy-oil", amount=3},
{type="fluid", name="light-oil", amount=3},
{type="fluid", name="petroleum-gas", amount=4}
},
</pre>
<pre>
results =
{
{type = "item", name = "iron-nuggets", amount = 9},
{type = "item", name = "gold-nuggets", amount = 1}
},
</pre>

=== energy_required ===
'''Type''': [[Types/double]]

'''Default''': 0.5

Optional. The amount of time it takes to make this recipe.

This is the number of seconds it takes to craft at crafting speed 1.

=== emissions_multiplier ===
'''Type''': [[Types/double]]

'''Default''': 1.0

=== requester_paste_multiplier ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint]]

'''Default''': 30

=== overload_multiplier ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint]]

'''Default''': 0

=== enabled ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': true

Optional. This can be false to disable the recipe at the start of the game, or "true" to leave it enabled.

If your recipe is unlocked by a technology, you should set this to "false".

=== hidden ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': false

Optional. Hides the recipe from crafting menus.

=== hide_from_stats ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': false

Optional. Hides the recipe from flow stats (production statistics).

=== allow_decomposition ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': true

Optional. Whether the recipe can be broken down for "total-raw" calculations.

=== allow_as_intermediate ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': true

Optional. Whether the recipe can be used as an intermediate recipe in hand-crafting.

=== allow_intermediates ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': true

Optional. Whether the recipe is allowed to use intermediate recipes when hand-crafting.

=== always_show_made_in ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': false

Optional. Whether the "Made in: {Machine}" part of the tool-tip should always be present, not only when the recipe can not be hand-crafted.

=== show_amount_in_title ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': true

Optional. Whether the recipe name should have the product amount in front of it, e.g. "2 [[transport belt]]"

=== always_show_products ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]

'''Default''': false

Optional. Whether the products are always shown in the recipe tool-tip.

=== main_product ===
'''Type''': [[Types/string]]

Optional.

For recipes with more than one product: This defines of which result the icon, subgroup and name is used. If it is not set and the recipe has more than 1 result the recipe will use the recipe-name and recipe-description locale and its own subgroup and icon.

For recipes with 1 result: The recipe uses the icon, subgroup and name of the result by default. If set this property is set to an empty string, the recipe will use the properties of the recipe instead of the result.

== Examples ==

=== "iron-plate" ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
{
type = "recipe",
name = "iron-plate",
category = "smelting",
energy_required = 3.5,
ingredients = {{"iron-ore", 1}},
result = "iron-plate"
}</syntaxhighlight>

=== "coal-liquefaction" ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{
type = "recipe",
name = "coal-liquefaction",

category = "oil-processing",
subgroup = "fluid-recipes",
order = "a[oil-processing]-c[coal-liquefaction]",

enabled = false,
energy_required = 5,
icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/coal-liquefaction.png",
ingredients =
{
{type="item", name="coal", amount=10},
{type="fluid", name="heavy-oil", amount=25},
{type="fluid", name="steam", amount=50}
},
results=
{
{type="fluid", name="heavy-oil", amount=35},
{type="fluid", name="light-oil", amount=15},
{type="fluid", name="petroleum-gas", amount=20}
}
},
allow_decomposition = false
}</syntaxhighlight>

=== "iron-gear-wheel" — recipe with difficulty ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> {
type = "recipe",
name = "iron-gear-wheel",
normal =
{
ingredients = {{"iron-plate", 2}},
result = "iron-gear-wheel"
},
expensive =
{
ingredients = {{"iron-plate", 4}},
result = "iron-gear-wheel"
}
},</syntaxhighlight>

==== Modified so that the expensive recipe is always used, even in normal mode ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> {
type = "recipe",
name = "iron-gear-wheel",
normal = false,
expensive =
{
ingredients = {{"iron-plate", 4}},
result = "iron-gear-wheel"
}
},</syntaxhighlight>

I have been playing the game for about four months, and have an average level of intellect for a casual player of factorio as of right now. I have not beaten the game yet, but I have been playing with modpacks and a few mods such as FARL, railtanker, flowcontrol, 5dims modpack etc. on peaceful, set up train tracks and built a blue research pack factory aswell as roboports filled with logistic and construction bots. I have played for a total cumulative time (among all of my saves) of ~236 hours. I host a dedicated factorio server running 24/7 that my friends can connect to with minimal lag, since most of the time they come to my house to join the server via lan.

Apart from factorio,
I am experienced in numerous programming languages (it gets easier after you learn just one) such as Java (Minecraft plugins, also wrote a server from scratch with a client, that can connect to eachother with a GUI that sends stuff, also turn based keyboard/text controlled RPG that reads tilemap info from a bitmap, spritemap readers etc), C#(for unity game developement, tried making a platformer only got so far), C++(got in trouble once for testing out a keylogger made from scratch on my sibling, needless to say they got mad, also setup a program that can detect phrases being said and converts them into well written predefined sentences, for instance writing "hi2" would rewrite itself into "Hello, how are you?"), AS2/3(Flash programming object based language, one of my favorites, really mixes the graphics and code in an intuitive and cool way, I made a stock market simulator and platformer, also animate a bit in there), JS(unity aswell as a tad bit of HTML5 canvas), PHP(scripted a lot in this for my website I was making from scratch, made a login/register script, a website memberlist script aswell as several other SQL table involved scripts), TIBasic (first language learned, on calculator, then learned AXE assembly styled language) LUA (Garry's mod, computercraft minecraft mod)
I am also an avid gamer, and play a WIDE diversity of games. Sandbox, RPG, FPS, MOBA, RTS etc, always like to try new things.

The reason I honestly wanted to make an account on the forums is for one spellchecking, I noticed a lot of areas it didn't seem like somebody went through and took there time on some pages. For instance a lot of exclamation points where there probably shouldn't be, grammar and capitalization errors and spots where certain things are explained more than once. I don't mean to sound mean by being a grammar nazi towards the less linguistic contributors, but it's not about pointing out someones mistakes, it's about showing everyone the right way to go about something.

Another big reason is because I realize this wiki is indeed a project in development, and would like to contribute to providing new pages and information. I already have some plans for a multiplayer dedicated server page, if that's okay.
