Removing Fuels From Thermal Dynamics Dynamo (using an addon)

[covert talon]

My goal is to make Thermal Expansion stirling dynamos on my 1.20.1 Forge server only burn coal, and accept nothing else.

I found this great addon (below) that I believe will help with this task. It allows me to add new fuels (works great), but how can I use this (or another method) to negate the other fuels? In my pack, there are a LOT of other fuels, so a blanket ban would be amazing, if possible.

I've spent... ugh, so many hours on this. SO many... I figured it was time to ask for help. Any guidance would be very, very much appreciated.

Iirc, the Stirling Dynamo takes its fuels from the items valid for furnace fuel.

[covert talon]

I think that's correct. This is the method I'm using to attempt to remove all the fuels before adding them back in... but I just cannot seem make progress on this:

// Restrict Stirling Dynamo fuels to only coal and coal blocks

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
// Attempt to remove all existing Stirling Dynamo fuels
event.remove({ type: 'thermal:stirling_fuel' })

})

looking at the manager for Thermall's Stirling Fuel, it is based entirely upon the burn time of the input itemstack

[covert talon]

I did attempt to simply make all fuels but charcoal basically useless, but there's a hardcoded minimum that's making the renewables (like logs) still too powerful (lest I want to make ALL machines on the server more power hungry).

So I keep trying to find a method to simply not allow anything but charcoal to physically be placed inside the stirling dynamo.

[slim vine]

there is probably a way to restrict it, not sure though

[covert talon]

What kills me is that this method appears to have worked for others...

there are a spelling mistake in line 79 😉
you have written the id with a single . and not :

but try it with ```type: "thermal:magmatic_fuel"```` instead and not with id
the recipe for this is not in the Thermal Expansion Mod, it is in the Core mod:
https://github.com/CoFH/ThermalCore/blob/1.20.x/src/main/resources/data/thermal/recipes/fuels/magmatic/magmatic_lava.json

I'm just trying to use this exact same method (so far as I can tell) with the stirling dynamo instead of the magmatic.

[slim vine]

Magmatic fuel is it's own recipe type because it uses fluids. Stirling is a combination of a recipe type, and all valid furnace fuels

[covert talon]

Ahhh, shoot. Perhaps what I'm trying (at least with this method) simply isn't viable, then...

I mean, I guess I could restrict all furnace fuels... but then I've got to try to add those back in.

[slim vine]

you could possibly just disable the stirling dynamo and change recipes on a less used dynamo to replace it

[covert talon]

Hmm, that's true. I'll give that a shot! I'm not even going to use most dynamos on my server. Thank you for the suggestion.

[slim vine]

my best bet is the Numismatic Dynamo. it is used just for coins so it wouldn't be too bad of a replacement

[covert talon]

I believe I can rename it with this awesome mod as well... I like this idea!

This workaround worked! Thank you so much for the help, @slim vine! I never thought of it being a problem with the recipe implementation - I figured they were all the same. Cheers!!
