Quantum Resource Distribution

by eliont

Special chest can send placed items to ship quantum storage unit and retrieve from it. Also works for player inventory (optional). It's make resource management more like RTS for playing combat-oriented settings/mods. Compatible with multi-surface mods like Space Exploration - item transportation works on surface, but not between them. Should be UPS-friendly because using events to track entities, not find_entities_filtered.

g Is there a way to change item recipes?

8 months ago

Hey, I have a small question regarding crafting the three items this mod has. Given the power that the quantum distribution provides, I wanted to edit the recipes of the q-chest and q-combinator to match for my current save. In the recipe file I am able to tweak the q-tank perfectly fine, but if I copy-paste code, edit names, and try to do the same for the other two, they disappear entirely from the crafting menu. I'm unable to find anything in the prototypes folder referring to a recipe for the items either.

I am not wildly experienced with Factorio's mod structure, so I do not know if the recipes are embedded somewhere else. Not a huge deal, I was simply wondering for the sake of wondering. Thanks in advance, and I certainly look forward to using this mod! Testing has proved it to be a great time-saver in my quest for neat builds.

recipes disappear if they not compatible with crafting machine, for example if recipe has fluid ingredients, but crafting machine can not work with fluids or does not have needed amount of inputs or outputs

other than that q-chest and q-combinator recipes are the same concept as q-tank, nothing different

Thanks, I will look into it with that knowledge!

Edit: I have found my problem, I set the "enabled" parameter to true and they appeared. I had assumed that since the tank was flagged as false, that was the correct way to go about things, but hey, that's what I get for tweaking something.
