g [0.18.14] Blueprint doesn't show anymore

4 years ago

Used to work on [0.18.12] but since the [0.18.14] update, the ''Ore Eraser'' blueprint doesn't show anymore in my blueprint GUI. -- No other mod active. Thanks !

Same here. They changed something with the blueprint system.

In 0.18.13, there is a change:

  • Removed the utility slots (to create blueprint, book etc) from blueprint library as it is now available directly through quick tools menu.

The mod should add a quick tool item to be further accessible.

You can use console extended mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/console-extended) to give yourself the selection tool using the following command:
/give_stack ore-erase

Edit: It seems that's not enough though as the selection tool no longer works with the latest update.

/c game.player.insert{name="ore-erase"}

Adds a item to the inventory, but it can be used as the old shortcut till it gets fixed.

Hacked this by adding shortcuts.lua file to prototypes folder with content:

data:extend({
  {
    type = "shortcut",
    name = "OreErase-shortcut",
    order = "o[ore-erase]",
    action = "create-blueprint-item",
    item_to_create = "ore-erase",
    toggleable = true,
    icon =
    {
      filename = "__ore-erase__/graphics/ore-erase.png",
      priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
      size = 32,
      scale = 1,
      flags = { "icon" }
    },
    small_icon =
    {
      filename = "__ore-erase__/graphics/ore-erase.png",
      priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
      size = 32,
      scale = 1,
      flags = { "icon" }
    },
    disabled_small_icon =
    {
      filename = "__ore-erase__/graphics/ore-erase.png",
      priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
      size = 32,
      scale = 1,
      flags = { "icon" }
    }
  }
})

and added

require("prototypes.shortcuts")

to data.lua file. The icon then shows in the quick tools.

Of course, an item translation and a nice icon could be in order next.
