Modding Help Need more help with recipe and custom crafting table.

I made a mod with a custom crafting table to craft every modded item in and a mod item in the in the crafting interface for empty hands. It works perfectly fine and you can craft it as long as your in admin mode or used to be an admin as every blueprint was unlocked when you became an admin. Is there any code I can add to allow me to craft these without going into admin mode?

 

You need to patch the player.config file to they "know" the recipe. Let's say one of your mod items is called SuperAwesomeGun. You would need to make a text file in someting like Notepad++ and name it player.config.patch , put it in your mods base folder.
[
{
"op" : "add",
"path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-",
"value" : { "item" : "SuperAwesomeGun" }
}
]


If you add more items, just insert a comma and do the next one.

[
{
"op" : "add",
"path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-",
"value" : { "item" : "SuperAwesomeGun" }
},
{
"op" : "add",
"path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-",
"value" : { "item" : "SuperAwesomeChestpiece" }
}
]

 

I tried doing that, but it crashes the game whenever I do.

 

did you make sure to name it player.config.patch
If you want to post your mod or a log file I'll look through

 

I renamed it to player.config patch. Here is the file I created to test the mod before uploading an update to the actual mod.

 

Line 8 of player.config.patch was missing a double quotation symbol.

Code:

[
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "sharicitecrafting" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "nepgearsailorchest" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "nepgearskirt" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "nepgearhair" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "NeptuneLeggings" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "neptunehoodiechest" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "NeptuneHair" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "unichest" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "unilegs" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "noirechest" }},
  { "op" : "add", "path" : "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "noireskirt" }}
]

I suggest to use an advanced text editor(notepad++ etc) and utilize a JSON language profile. Most things in starbound are JSON except the .lua files and obviously image/sound files. When using such profiles, these errors really pop right out at you. I found the problem in about half a second because the coloring was off.

 

I use Notepad++ but don't know how to utilize a language profile. And thanks a lot!

 

Up top where it says "language" select either JSON or Javascript(where JSON came from).

 

Thank you!
