So the issue is just that this "Armour MK 4" is returning the wrong ingredients?
I can tell you a bit of information on how this mod operates, that should maybe explain some things for your situation. For every item in the game, my mod checks for a recipe that has the same internal name as the item in question, which works for basically all items in the vanilla game, with the exception of recipes that are like "basic-oil-processing", or "metallic-asteroid-processing", which does not match the name for any of the items those recipes produce; these recipes don't even get looked at by my mod.
If there is no match for an item, that item gets skipped. There are some other checks the recipe has to pass before it gets a reverse recipe created (like not on blacklist, not percentage based, etc) but that's the first important milestone. If you are getting a reverse recipe that does not match the ingredients for the base recipe, then one of two things are happening: the item name does not match your intended recipe name, but another one does, so it pulls from the wrong recipe. OR your mod is loading after mine, and makes changes to the recipe that are not being accounted for. If your mod runs during data-final-fixes, then it's possible this is happening
If that info doesn't help solve the problem, then you can find examples of the manual recipe addition within my mod, under prototypes > added_manual_recipes.lua, but here's a couple of excerpts:
if mods["kj_fuel"] then
if data.raw.item["kj_gascan"] and data.raw.recipe["kj_gascan_fill"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item", "kj_gascan", "kj_gascan_fill"})
end
if data.raw.item["kj_energy_cell"] and data.raw.recipe["kj_energy_cell_load"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item", "kj_energy_cell", "kj_energy_cell_load"})
end
if data.raw.item["kj_kerosine"] and data.raw.recipe["kj_kerosine_fill"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item", "kj_kerosine", "kj_kerosine_fill"})
end
if data.raw.item["kj_gasbarrel"] and data.raw.recipe["kj_gasbarrel_fill"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item", "kj_gasbarrel", "kj_gasbarrel_fill"})
end
end
if mods["Hovercrafts"] then
if data.raw["item-with-entity-data"]["hcraft-entity"] and data.raw.recipe["hcraft-recipe"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item-with-entity-data", "hcraft-entity", "hcraft-recipe"})
end
if data.raw["item-with-entity-data"]["mcraft-entity"] and data.raw.recipe["mcraft-recipe"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item-with-entity-data", "mcraft-entity", "mcraft-recipe"})
end
if data.raw["item-with-entity-data"]["lcraft-entity"] and data.raw.recipe["lcraft-recipe"] then
table.insert(rf.custom_recycle, {"item-with-entity-data", "lcraft-entity", "lcraft-recipe"})
end
end
NOTE: From my mod, I check for the existence of other mods, but other mods would want to check for the existence of mine, hence the use of
if mods["reverse-factory"] then
First off, you do not need to define rf within your mod's code (and you should not redefine rf from within your mod, that will overwrite the table that we are using, basically deleting all the entries that were added before). Checking for the existence of rf and rf.custom_recycle may not be necessary, and you could just omit those lines and skip straight to table.insert
As for the table insertion function, we are inserting into the table rf.custom_recycle (the table that my mod uses to create manual recipes), and we are inserting this data into that table:
{"item", "example-item", "example-recipe"}
"item" defines the type of item (which is why I use "item-with-entity-data" for the hovercrafts mod), "example-item" should be the internal name of the item in question (under data.raw.item["item-name"]), and "example-recipe" should be the name of the recipe you are trying to assign to that item (under data.raw.recipe["recipe-name"])
EDIT: I updated the FAQ for this section, to hopefully clarify the wording. I realize that you probably want to use "armor" instead of "item" in your table.insert, wrong item type won't get properly matched
