Hi all. after every research i have to go in the selection menu of the heater or reactor and have to select the new tech unlocked.
Is there a way to do that automatically ? I see nothing in the options.
Tx.

imo it should automatically update the recipe to the most efficient one or edit the time of it. Unfortunately, you have to manually select the recipe yourself.

Not possible because of modding limitations.

Only way I could do this is with scripts, but when I was making the mod I wanted to keep it as lightweight as possible (which means as few scripts as possible). I also did sort-of do this in an earlier version, but it only worked if you mined+placed all the reactors again, which wasn't much better.

Hi Ronner_set. Thanks for your answer.
The most issue was i remember it was possible at a specific time (date).
Great mod !

I found a mod that automatically updates the recipes when better ones are researched for assembly machines. Would this not be applicable for this mod?

Doing it on callback for technology researched seems reasonable, just have script update the recipes, it's no on-tick. Keep a list of the buildings via the on build and destroy and such hooks for fast access and updating so you don't need to scan the whole map, would be super fast and non-ticking.
