what do the numbered ones do?

[jade glen]

Actually there are several recipes with the same icons, cause I am not confident enough in my art™️ to make small indicators in the corner of a recipe via layering

but, for instance, "2 -> to" is a valid recipe

[dawn trail]

this is hilarious

uh, did you happen to test this before releasing it?

it doesn't work without space age

because of

for k, v in pairs(data.raw["space-platform-starter-pack"]) do
    table.insert(itemsAndChildren, v)
end

without space age, data.raw["space-platform-starter-pack"] is nil

@jade glen

[jade glen]

damn it.

okay yeah testing this without space age is definitely something I should have done

uhh, it will be fixed either within an hour or a month, there's no in-between

[dawn trail]

if mods["space-age"] then
    for k, v in pairs(data.raw["space-platform-starter-pack"]) do
        table.insert(itemsAndChildren, v)
    end
end

that would fix it

[jade glen]

or if ... ~= nil ig

[dawn trail]

you actually don't need the ~= nil

just if data.raw["space-platform-starter-pack"] would work

[jade glen]

oh right, I forgot LUA does that

dunno what's better for readability

[dawn trail]

I think if mods["space-age"] is better

but there's also a better way to do the entire thing

without needing multiple for loops

[jade glen]

yeah but some sections have non-stackable items that aren't marked as non-stackable

[jade glen]

implemented

...I also realized that the handgun isn't actually ever researched, so it's permanently locked
also fish is absurdly late in the tech tree

[jade glen]

I wonder what is actually possible with this mod. In space age you definitely could ||manage letters much easier in space plaforms, since they can be discarded, that seems potentially interesting||

[balmy canyon]

It is not because other mods could add them, without space age

[jade glen]

wait handgun isn't ever researched because it's available from the start
