Question:Adding mechanics to the Machines without writing Addons??

Quote from Noodles

I was wondering if it is possible to add new mechanics to extractor, or compressor or others, for example: compressing saplings into plantballs, without having to write a addon to the game.
With Custom Recipes its possible to add such mechanics to a furnace, by just editing a .txt file?
I am a bit too lazy to read me into this addon coding.(usually a c# coder)

This isn't possible by default, but it might be possible to write an addon to enable such a thing. I will look into making this... sounds useful.

I've got my addon working.

The addon reads from a text file formatted as follows:

MachineID,Input_Item_ID,Input_Item_Damage,Output_Item_ID,Output_Item_Damage

One recipe per line. MachineID is a number assigned to each machine like:

0 = Macerator
1 = Extractor
2 = Compressor

So a recipe would look like this:

0,35,1,35,4

This makes orange wool macerate into yellow wool.

it doesn't work with mod items yet but I'm working on it...

The code injects the recipes after all other mods have been loaded, so mod items SHOULD work, though I haven't tested it yet.

I need to disconnect the code for it from my other mod (I was too lazy to set up another Netbeans project) and package it up.

You forgot output stacksize

I had to change the text file syntax to get mod items to work.

Machine,Input_ID,Input_Dmg,isModItem,Output_ID,Output_Dmg,isModItem

Machine is now the name of the machine with a capitol at the beginning, so...

Macerator
Extractor
Compressor

... are valid machine names.

This is a working mod recipe:

Macerator,1001,6,true,1,0,false

This makes RP2 nikolite into stone. I'm still missing the output stack size, but I'll get that added in there.
