Crafting recipes problem

[oliverjanda]

Hi,
I'm working on a mod for crafting stronger drones.
It already works for 1 drone but i have a minor issue with this recipe:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<diff xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<add sel="/wares">

		<ware id="inv_adv_drone_ai" name="{20201,92101}" description="{20201,92102}" transport="inventory" size="small" volume="1" tags="crafting inventory">
			<price min="171466" average="219372" max="267278" />
			<production time="10" amount="1" method="default" name="{20206,501}">
				<primary>
					<ware ware="inv_xenoncomponents" amount="25"/>
					<ware ware="inv_terranhightechgoods" amount="100" />
					<ware ware="inv_unidentifiedartifacts" amount="10" />
					<ware ware="inv_cartographyunits" amount="100" />
				</primary>
			</production>
			<container ref="props_sm_container_xs_wares_macro" />
			<icon video="inv_generic_macro" />
		</ware>
	</add>
</diff>

Ingame only 1 Xenon component is shown/used for the recipe. I have no idea whats wrong. Can anybody check that recipe (extensions/testmod/libraries/wares.xml)?

Could be the "rare" tag.

Code: Select all

  <ware id="inv_xenoncomponents" name="{20201,14801}" description="{20201,14802}" transport="inventory" size="small" volume="1" tags="crafting inventory rare">
    <price min="870" average="1023" max="1176" />
    <container ref="props_sm_container_xs_rare_wares_macro" />
    <icon video="inv_generic_macro" />
  </ware>

Also noticed that it's only used in one vanilla crafting recipe, and that uses 1 xenon component.

Have you tried other rare components, like inv_weaponinterfacechips?

[oliverjanda]

I tried the vanilla thing u can craft with xenon components. Security decryption system or something similar (I'm at work and can't look it up).
Same problem!

I was not aware that the tag has an actual meaning.
I thought its more like a comment...

[w.evans]

I'm not sure that it's anything more than a comment either. Just the only difference I could spot between that and the other stuff you used.

[oliverjanda]

Can you put the code in a mod and tell me the result?
This seems so weired, i'm not sure if it's something only i'm experiencing...

[w.evans]

Yup. Removing the "rare" tag allowed your recipe to use 25 xenon components. Not sure if there are any other effects, though. (Like maybe xenon components appearing in boxes on stations?)

[oliverjanda]

Thanks for your help. I never would have found that one.

I'm reluctant to mod the xenon component.
I will have to think of a different solution.

BTW where can I find a documentaion of the tags?

[oliverjanda]

It seems that it is only possible the set an amount of a inventory item once.
All other attempts to set a different amount in another recipe fail. :/

[w.evans]

Hm. You're right. I just tested again, and didn't notice that the number of Xenon Components required for Security Decryption Systems also increased to 25. Sorry didn't notice that last time.

No problem.
I hope that is not intended and easy to fix for ES.

Also tried changing the method:

Code: Select all

<add sel="/wares/production">
  <method id="oliverjanda_test_drone" />
</add>

...

<production time="10" amount="1" method="oliverjanda_test_drone" name="{20206,501}">

That caused the UI to glitch out when trying to access the inventory. (Sidebar completely unresponsive until "reloadui" is invoked in the console.)

[oliverjanda]

Should file a bugreport somewhere? Or is a thread here enough?

[w.evans]

No idea. There's a "no mods" policy at the bugs section. Reasonable since without that policy, they'll probably be wasting a lot of time chasing after red herrings that people think are caused by the vanilla code, but are actually caused by mods or incompatibilities.
