May you add support for Pyanodons AlienLife? In this mod, All farm machines need a sample in the module slot. The type of those samples is "module". The following part is a quick fix and works for me:

elseif item.type == "module" or string.match(name, ".*module.*") then
    -- allow modules
    return count

You mean the name contains the word 'module'. I'll look into it. I'm really interested as to what their item.type field is.

The original code from brave-new-world/scenarios/bnw/control is:

-- where player = game.players[event.player_index]
-- where name = player.cursor_stack.name, count = player.cursor_stack.count
function itemCountAllowed(name, count, player)
local item = game.item_prototypes[name]
local place_type = item.place_result and item.place_result.type
if ...
-- some code here
elseif string.match(name, ".module.") then
-- allow modules
return count
-- some codes here
end
return 0
end

The example code from pyalienlife/prototypes/items/items is:

-- This module can only be use in sap-extractor
ITEM {
type = "module",
name = "tree-mk01",
category = "tree",
tier = 1,
subgroup = "py-alienlife-modules",
effect = { speed = {bonus = 0.4}},
limitation = alien_life_limitations_tree
}

thx
