Regarding modded items; Any item that is constructed from the basic vanilla resources (iron-, copper ore etc.) will have a calculated price. Items created from modded resources won't because they don't have a basic price set for them (so it will be calculated as 0).
Well, it's not completly true :)
For example, some modded ores (Yuoki industries, Krastorio, some of bob's) are avalible for purchase.
But fluid-based modded structures and items (for example, Crastorio 2 Fuel, which is produced from vanilla light oil and needed for all wehicles) isn't on the market.
Anyway, I understand, that you don't want to spend time for more in-depth black market mechanic.
But can I at lest request two things:
1. Serch bar if it even posssible. I can remember mod "recipe book" with custom interface and reserch function, if you need reference.
2. Some sort of guide - how one can make a companion compibility mod. I can make it and spare some of your time, but reverse-ingenearing isn't my best trait.
