Patch operation not doing anything

[Ruddygreat]

i'm trying to make a little patch mod that adds a recipe for the psychic amplifiers and silencers, but no matter what i try, the patch will return no errors but also do nothing, here's the code.

Easy start: take out Success - Always, then you should get useful error messages!

If you don't, that's useful too.

I don't yet have Royalty, but I would hazard a guess that it's ThingDef not Thingdef?

[Ruddygreat]

Oh man thank you so much, I dont think i'd have caught that on my own, but it's still not doing anything with that fix

As in, the recipe gets added but you don't see it?

[Ruddygreat]

probably?
