Manufacturing a Craft from a Craft.

[The Martian]

I was not sure if this is how OpenXcom is intended to work or if it is a bug but I thought it may be of interest to others who are trying to construct a mod so I'm posting the information here.


If you try to create a manufacturing project that uses a craft as required source material and the end product is also a craft, there is no problem if you write the code like this:

Code: [Select]

manufacture:
  - name: STR_INTERCEPTOR_TO_SKYRANGER
    category: STR_CRAFT
    space: 28
    time: 1200
    cost: 220000
    requiredItems:
      STR_INTERCEPTOR: 1
    producedItems:
      STR_SKYRANGER: 1
However, you MUST have the manufacturing category be STR_CRAFT. If instead you attempt the following code:

Code: [Select]

manufacture:
  - name: STR_INTERCEPTOR_TO_SKYRANGER
    category: STR_CUSTOM_CATEGORY
    space: 28
    time: 1200
    cost: 220000
    requiredItems:
      STR_INTERCEPTOR: 1
    producedItems:
      STR_SKYRANGER: 1
The custom category will produce the following error:

Code: [Select]

Extra information has been saved to openxcom.log.

What I believe this means is that when the manufacturing project Category is not set to STR_CRAFT the producedItems: needs to be an entry listed under items: not one list under the crafts: entries.
