[Solved]Silver is no more usable in recipe?

Rikiki · December 18, 2014, 02:49:14 PM

Hi all!
After spending 1 hour trying to understand why my old integrated circuits board recipe was no more working, I got to the conclusion silver is no more usable in recipe.

Can anyone confirm this?
I suspect it is linked with the sentance "Count may vary for item with non-standard volume like gold." found in the config tab of a recipe. This is however still obscur for me...

I have the same problem right now. I wanted my mod to include a material out of gold and silver but it doesn't work properly. The recipe says that 5 gold is needed, but my colonists use 100. Same for silver. Is there a solution to this problem?

silver and gold are counted in recipes as 24x
So if your recipe has a cost 1 material, it will cost 24 silver or gold.
You can also see it on stuff system
Anyways multiply is attached only to gold, silver and uranium, everything else works fine

Thanks, but since when is 5x24=100? ^^
Do you know where I can look it up, how I can change it and why the hell it's multiplied?

100 wierd hmm well then its 24x on stuff system only and diffrent on on recipes..
Anyways multiplayer is codded in so you cant change it, did try already :/

There is a multiplication of some resources in the stuff system, its x20 not x24 for each 1 its 100 used, Gold, Silver and Uranium all do it.

Code Select

<volumePerUnit>0.05</volumePerUnit>

in the def controls this.

Can you not use 0.05 in the recipe or is 1 the lowest number?

Do you know how this would affect the gameplay? I'm really curious to know.

Well it means art for example wouldnt cost 2000 silver but 100. Same for weapons.

I hope Alpha 9 changes this, it makes absolutely no sense.
Edit: I've changed it and everything works just fine. Maybe it makes sense though, but who crafts a wall out of gold anyway.
