Hello there, as a circuit heavy builder I'm running into a lot of problems with the additional recipes, because the combinators can not distinguish between vanilla recipes and the modded recipes, even when I use a constant combinator as like my recipe anchor.

And I also cant find the altered recipes anywhere in the other mod LUA's, there isnt even a listed mod for ''OCs Exoplanetary Expansion''.
So yeah, is there a way to get a dedicated folder for those recipes, mod setting options, or maybe 'more highly distinguished' recipes (I have no clue where the deciders take vanilla recipes and where the alt ones, like my subsation upcycler for example works perfectly fine for everything but the epic substation, like wtf bro[not u]).

please help uwu

First things first: Thanks for the message. "OCs Exoplanetary Expansion" is the new mod name, previously (and internally) it was "OCs foundary expansion". Aside from the typo, it no longer represents the scope of this mod.
Second, let me go through your questions and statements.

• "can not distinguish between vanilla recipes and the modded recipes". For the newly generated recipes, that should not be the case; they differ in internal name and have different icons.
• "cant find the altered recipes anywhere". The 'altered' recipes are just the vanilla ones, but I changed the crafting category to make them available for the other machines (eg, foundry/em-plant). That's done with a function that uses a mapping, so the recipes aren't shown in the files again.
• "dedicated folder for those recipes, mod setting options". I could create a new group within the Factorio recipes, if one really wants one. I don't see the necessity myself yet. But for mod settings, I don't think that's even possible.

Aside from the altered recipes, most new recipes are created automatically. This is why you cannot find their definitions in the files either.
I hope this is a first step towards a solution. We could discuss further details on discord, if you want.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately I'm not a lot at home at the moment, but I'll get back to you.
