    Properties

    category :: RecipeCategoryID optional

    Default: "crafting"

    The category of this recipe. Controls which machines can craft this recipe.

    The built-in categories can be found here. The base "crafting" category can not contain recipes with fluid ingredients or products.

    Example 

    category = "smelting"

    additional_categories :: array[RecipeCategoryID] optional

    crafting_machine_tint :: RecipeTints optional

    Used by WorkingVisualisations::working_visualisations to tint certain layers with the recipe color. WorkingVisualisation::apply_recipe_tint determines which of the four colors is used for that layer, if any.

    icons :: array[IconData] optional

    Can't be an empty array.

    icon :: FileName optional

    If given, this determines the recipe's icon. Otherwise, the icon of main_product or the singular product is used.

    Only loaded if icons is not defined.

    Mandatory if icons is not defined for a recipe with more than one product and no main_product, or no product.

    Example 

    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/heavy-oil.png"

    icon_size :: SpriteSizeType optional

    Default: 64

    The size of the square icon, in pixels. E.g. 32 for a 32px by 32px icon. Must be larger than 0.

    Only loaded if icons is not defined.

    ingredients :: array[IngredientPrototype] optional

    A table containing ingredient names and amounts. Can also contain information about fluid temperature and whether some of the amount is ignored by production statistics.

    The maximum ingredient amount is 65 535. Can be set to an empty table to create a recipe that needs no ingredients.

    Duplicate ingredients, e.g. two entries with the same name, are not allowed. In-game, the item ingredients are ordered by ItemGroup::order_in_recipe.

    Examples 

    -- Recipe with items
ingredients =
{
  {type = "item", name = "iron-stick", amount = 2},
  {type = "item", name = "iron-plate", amount = 3}
}

    -- Recipe with fluids
ingredients =
{
  {type = "fluid", name = "water", amount = 50},
  {type = "fluid", name = "crude-oil", amount = 100}
}

    results :: array[ProductPrototype] optional

    A table containing result names and amounts. Products also contain information such as fluid temperature, probability of results and whether some of the amount is ignored by productivity.

    Can be set to an empty table to create a recipe that produces nothing. Duplicate results, e.g. two entries with the same name, are allowed.

    Examples 

    results =
{
  {type = "fluid", name= "heavy-oil", amount = 3},
  {type = "fluid", name= "light-oil", amount = 3},
  {type = "fluid", name= "petroleum-gas", amount = 4}
}

    results =
{
  {type = "item", name = "iron-plate", amount = 9},
  {type = "item", name = "copper-plate", amount = 1}
}

    results = {{type = "fluid", name = "steam", amount = 1, temperature = 165}}

    main_product :: string optional

    For recipes with one or more products: Subgroup, localised_name and icon default to the values of the singular/main product, but can be overwritten by the recipe. Setting the main_product to an empty string ("") forces the title in the recipe tooltip to use the recipe's name (not that of the product) and shows the products in the tooltip.

    If 1) there are multiple products and this property is nil, 2) this property is set to an empty string (""), or 3) there are no products, the recipe will use the localised_name, icon, and subgroup of the recipe. icon and subgroup become non-optional.

    energy_required :: double optional

    Default: 0.5

    The amount of time it takes to make this recipe. Must be > 0.001. Equals the number of seconds it takes to craft at crafting speed 1.

    emissions_multiplier :: double optional

    Default: 1

    Default: 3.0

    Must be >= 0.

    requester_paste_multiplier :: uint32 optional

    Default: 30

    overload_multiplier :: uint32 optional

    Default: 0

    Used to determine how many extra items are put into an assembling machine before it's considered "full enough". See insertion limits.

    If set to 0, it instead uses the following formula: 1.166 / (energy_required / the assembler's crafting_speed), rounded up, and clamped to be between2 and 100. The numbers used in this formula can be changed by the UtilityConstants properties dynamic_recipe_overload_factor, minimum_recipe_overload_multiplier, and maximum_recipe_overload_multiplier.

    allow_inserter_overload :: boolean optional

    Default: true

    Whether the recipe is allowed to have the extra inserter overload bonus applied (4 * stack inserter stack size).

    enabled :: boolean optional

    Default: false

    Hides the recipe from item/fluid production statistics.
