Recipe not working

[Zyamaia]

Ok after looking at several examples I'm stumped as to why this recipe I've made does not work.

 

Here's what it says:

<Zyamaia>

    <append xpath="/recipes">
    
        <recipe name="resourceAcid" count="1" craft_area="chemistryStation"  craft_time="20"  tags="chemStationCrafting">
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapBrass" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapLead" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="drinkJarRiverWater" count="1"/>
        </recipe>
        
    </append>

</Zyamaia>

What doesn't work? Does it just not show up? It looks fine to me.

It doesn't show up in the chemistry station.   LOL maybe I've missed something in my file  format for the mod itself?

Does it have a ModInfo.xml with it?

What does the Player.log show? i.e. there should be a few lines like this somewhere: these are the mod loading lines from my last session last night, and the mod I use is called "Red20"   Lines 70 to 79. . . . .

Your mod name should appear as INF [MODS] Loaded Mod: Zyamaia

(This is a Steam version, A20 b238, with the lo located at C:\Users\pj\AppData\LocalLow\The Fun Pimps\7 Days To Die\Player.log)

Shows the mod loaded but when I search the chemistry station for Acid nothing comes up.

[paulj_3]

I copied your code into my own recipies xml, Zy, and it showed up and worked without issue. . 

 

 

Before Brass, Lead,and Murky stuff. . .

 

Added the bits. . .

 

Ran it, and and got my bottle.

So I have no clue as to why it won't work..
Sorry. . . something is missing in your setup. Can you post the recipe.xml somewhere?

[paulj_3]

Would you post the MofInfo, too please?

[Zyamaia]

I tried to make it a mod and I THINK I followed the format but not 100% certain.  LOL and have no clue where I can upload this so you can actually see the mod.

 

 

edit:  I put the recipe physically in recipe.xml and it works fine just not when I try to make it into a mod LOL

Is your file structure right?  In your acid mod folder, do you have a config folder and the xml files (except for modinfo) in that folder?

[Zyamaia]

I have the main folder I changed the name from Acid to Acid mod.  Then in that folder a config folder and modinfo.xml.  Inside the config folder I have a recipes.xml with the above recipe.

[BFT2020]

Umm, should this <Zyamaia> actually be <config> and </Zyamaia> be </config>?

Not sure what's wrong.  Here's the google drive link for the mod. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QL2BA33H1aUpcZMiSQvuA8nGo4UkJVIn?usp=sharingusp=sharing

Good Morning Zy...  unfortunately the recipes.xmll is only a link to yout game installation on your C:.

The Modinfo looks ok, as long as the folder structure is like this below it should be ok. but we/I need to see your actual recipes.xml.

The recipes.xml should look like this:-
 

<configs>

    <append xpath="/recipes">
    
        <recipe name="resourceAcid" count="1" craft_area="chemistryStation"  craft_time="20"  tags="chemStationCrafting">
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapBrass" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapLead" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="drinkJarRiverWater" count="1"/>
        </recipe>
        
    </append>

</configs>

This is a shot of my file structure: the Mod name is Red20, and contains a Configs file, where the recipes.xml sits, and you can see the ModInfo listed there too.
(Ignore the Assets-Resources-Sounds folders, etcc - they are parts of the much bigger Red20 mod)

 

Yours should look like this.

[Zyamaia]

There I think I fixed the download link.

 

[paulj_3]

Nup - still comes as a link to the file. Don't worry about it, Zy:  the info above will make it work, provided no syntax or spelling errors . . . .    Just make it like the pics.
I'll be around here all day, so ask away if you still have problems.  👍

Apparently the "toplevel" XML tags in a modlet XML file can be anything as long as the top and bottom one are identical (and the last has the slash in it). <config></config> is just what TFP has in all their files.  I use <Doughs></Doughs>, because that's how I learned to do it when i was learning by looking at other peoples mods.

[paulj_3]

Yeah - I found this, too Dough: I had half mine with an uppercase "C" and the other half with lowercase. . . sometimes the top half and sometimes. . . . 

Happy Holidays!!

 . . .and thanks for all your great mods!

☺️
