Change Crafting Recipe for Mod Character?

[Scoobie101]

Hello again Klei forums. I have yet another scripting question. How do I make it so my mod character crafts things with a different recipe? Like, normal characters craft straw hats with 12 grass but I want my character to craft it with only 6. Kinda like the green amulet but only with dress items.

Alright, I did this:

local character_prefab = "wilson"
local character_tag = "scoobie101"

local AllRecipes = GLOBAL.AllRecipes
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local require = GLOBAL.require
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS

local dress_recipes = {}

local function AfterEverythingLoaded()
	for k, v in pairs(AllRecipes) do
		if v.tab == RECIPETABS.DRESS then
			dress_recipes[k] = v
		end
	end
	for k, v in pairs(dress_recipes) do
		local new_name = v.name.."_"..character_tag
		local new_ingredients = {}
		for m, n in pairs(v.ingredients) do
			table.insert(new_ingredients, Ingredient(n.type, math.ceil(n.amount / 2), n.atlas))
		end
		for m, n in pairs(v.character_ingredients) do
			table.insert(new_ingredients, Ingredient(n.type, n.amount, n.atlas))
		end
		local new_recipe = AddRecipe(new_name, new_ingredients, v.tab, v.level, v.placer, v.min_spacing, v.nounlock, v.numtogive, character_tag, v.atlas, v.image)
		new_recipe.sortkey = v.sortkey
		new_recipe.product = v.name
		STRINGS.NAMES[string.upper(new_name)] = STRINGS.NAMES[string.upper(v.name)]
		STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC[string.upper(new_name)] = STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC[string.upper(v.name)]
	end
end
AddSimPostInit(AfterEverythingLoaded)

local function NoDressRecipes(inst)
	local _CanLearn = inst.replica.builder.CanLearn
	inst.replica.builder.CanLearn = function(self, recipename)
		return not dress_recipes[recipename] and _CanLearn(self, recipename)
	end
end
local function EditBuilderReplica(inst)
	inst:AddTag(character_tag)
	inst:DoTaskInTime(0, NoDressRecipes)
end
AddPrefabPostInit(character_prefab, EditBuilderReplica)

Put it in modmain.lua.

You only need to specify character_prefab (of your character), and character_tag (which will be given for the special recipes).

This basically clones all the dress recipes and changes the ingredients, then makes the originals invisible to people playing your character.

Wow. That is a WALL of code, I never would've figured that out. Thanks :3
