Modding Help Recipe and Image Not Showing Up

Still working on a mod for farming. I decided to add a recipe for the Thatch block, and change "shroom.png" to a more appealing alternative. Problem is, going in-game, the recipe for Thatch does not show up upon picking up Reed as I patched it to, and the change in shroom.png does not show.

The recipe issue is one I've encountered a few times before, which I've resolved by settling for Campfire or Terramart recipes but I refuse to do so with this recipe.

Here is the vanilla reed.item:

Code:

{
  "itemName" : "reed",
  "rarity" : "Common",
  "inventoryIcon" : "reed.png",
  "description" : "A bunch of cut reeds.",
  "shortdescription" : "Reed",

  "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" : [ "reedblock" ]
}

Here is my reed.item.patch (I've tried adding and replacing, but neither work):

Code:

[
{ "op": "replace", "path": "/learnBlueprintsOnPickup",
"value": [ "reedblock", "thatch" ]
}
]

Code:

[
{ "op": "add", "path": "/learnBlueprintsOnPickup/-",
"value": "thatch"
}
]

Here is what the output should look like:

Code:

{
  "itemName" : "reed",
  "rarity" : "Common",
  "inventoryIcon" : "reed.png",
  "description" : "A bunch of cut reeds.",
  "shortdescription" : "Reed",
  "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" : [ "reedblock", "thatch" ]
}

Here is my thatch.recipe:

Code:

{
  "input" : [
    { "item" : "reed", "count" : 2 }
  ],
  "output" : {
    "item" : "thatch",
    "count" : 1
  },
  "groups" : [ "plain", "materials", "all" ]
}

And, finally, here is my shroom.png replacement:

Please help!

The full mod is also attached in a ZIP file.

 

Is an item called reedblock already in the game? If not try changing the itemName to reed, thatch, or the name of the thatch block. Admittedly its been a while since I've done code for recipes, but a bit of tinkering with those variables should do the trick.

 

Reedblock is, indeed, in the game. You find reed on desert planets with healing oasis subbiomes, and use it to craft reed blocks. I want to add thatch to the recipes learned, and nothing I've done, thus far, has worked. I've done what you've suggested.

 

Once I get back on my computer today I'll take a look at it and see what I can do.

 

I have reed stored on my character. That's not the problem. When I throw it down and pick it back up, I still don't get my recipe even though I'm sure that, if I added "cooking" to the categories, it would work just fine in a campfire.

And the shroom should be a simple image replacement. It isn't working.

 

Why won't current shroom change? It's an image replacement. It shouldn't require a new shroom to see the change, since it's a direct replacement of the image. Radioactive Metals (my mod) works fine, and it is solely an image replacement mod.

I'll have to try the reed, though I'm not sure if what you're saying is true. If it is, that is a terrible decision by the developers...

 

Actually, I realized that, since I added reed to the Terramart and bought some while testing, that that is not the problem either. Maybe it's just a bug...

 

Yup, when you make a mod affecting an item it doesn't change all the existing ones, just newly generated ones.

 

Quote for emphasis.

Not the issue.

If you would like to verify that that is not the issue, you can try installing and using the test mod I attached. Buy reed from the Terramart at the Outpost.

 

Actually, I'm fairly confident that this was a one-off thing caused by me not double-checking the file locations because I was dead tired when I posted. Still, thanks sooooo much! I'm gonna go cry in a corner now of embarrassment.
