With Solder from Tin, the pipe to ground recipe is pipes + solder. So when this mod removes the pipes from the recipe, its left a bit empty, with only 4 Solder, and nothing to actually solder together

In terms of tiles-per-pipe, it seems fair imho to make the recipe still take 2 pipes, since you get 2 tiles per pair of pipe to ground. So in this case the recipe would be 4 solder and 2 pipes.

Which mod?

In certain cases I have to add special compatibility, this is probably one of them.

Tin! One of my fav mods, combined with Lead from the same dev

Ah, brevven's mods. I'll look into it, do you know if it affects other modded pipes or just vanilla ones?

It affects modded pipes too, at least it affects K2 Steel Pipes' p2g recipe

Hm ok

I think I might just blanket adjust the recipe to be 2 pipes + whatever... do you think that would be a good recipe for vanilla and other mods too?

I was just about to say that unfortunately it's more complicated for modded p2g ones. For K2 Steel Pipes' p2g it's steel and solder with Tin installed.

Alternatively you could do:

for _,ingredient in pairs(recipe.ingredients) do
  if data.raw.pipe[ingredient.name] and ingredient.amount > 2 then
    ingredient.amount = 2
  end
end

for each p2g recipe

I think that'd work, since it'd only modify ingredients that are pipes of some kind

Yeah i can work around it being non-standard alternative ingredients, i was just wondering if the "2 pipes plus whatever" recipe would be a good idea as a general solution as opposed to just brevven's compat

Oh yes, absolutely agreed. Sorry I thought you were asking about "pipe"s specifically lol

fixed in latest release!

Awesome, thank you!
