This was my fix to the problem
- unzip the mod
- changed "data-final-fixes.lua" to the following
-- dynamically add sprites for tools (to display research ingredients)
for _, tool in pairs(data.raw.tool) do
if tool.icon or tool.icons then
local icon_size = tool.icon_size or (tool.icons[1] and tool.icons[1].icon_size) or 64
data:extend(
{
{
type = "sprite",
name = "auto_research_tool_" .. tool.name,
filename = tool.icon or (tool.icons[1] and tool.icons[1].icon) or nil,
priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
width = icon_size,
height = icon_size,
scale = 0.25
}
}
)
end
end
