Changing amount to give in crafting recipes

[comonavi]

I've been using an old thread as reference to change some crafting recipes, and I'm having issues with the "numtogive" value not working in-game. I was hoping someone might look over my amateur coding work and see why I'm having this problem.

With this in effect both recipes give 1 item, but changing boards to logs worked as intended. I'm trying to change the feather pencil to give 4, and I don't need to change the mini sign. Thanks in advance for the help!

Note for the future, don't use "Recipe". Not only it's deprecated, Klei uses "Recipe2" now, but modders should use "AddRecipe2" instead to add their own recipes.

Also, let me offer an easier way to accomplish the effect you desire:

GLOBAL.AllRecipes.featherpencil.numtogive = 4

Instead of rewriting the entire recipe, you can call the recipe itself to access the specific element you want to change.

Yes, this is exactly what I needed! I used that bit of code for the remainder of the mod and it's working just as intended now, thanks so much for the help.

Here is the end result. I'm sure there are some imperfections, but I can't be assed. Thanks again!
