Modding Help I'm having trouble getting a self made mod to work

I'm somewhat (extremely) new to modding and have attempted to build a first mod, a relativley simple one, that adds a new craftable fuel variant to the game. Unfortunately, I have the same techeological skill as a bannana and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what I need to reorganize/change/create to get this mod working and yes I have looked for modding guides, all the ones I found were outdated, I did as close as I could to what they said but it added up to a alot of facedesking. The file up for judgement is attatched. Thanks to anyone who helps, comments, or looks upon me with pity.

 

I dont see anything blatantly wrong with it... What issues are you having?

 

it doesnt appear in game, i cant craft it at the place i should be able to

 

Try removing the second __merge (the one after defaultblueprints) in your player.config file. You don't need it and it may be causing your issue.

So it should look like this:

Code:

{
  "__merge" : [],
  "defaultBlueprints" : {
    "tier1" : [
      { "item" : "biofuel" }
    ] 
  }
}

 

This didn't solve the issue, it's a slight possibility that one of my other mods installed could be conflicting, but I can't see how. I'll back up my stuff and try the game with just the biofuel mod to see if it'll run that way

 

Check your recipe file

"output" : { "item" : "biofuel;", "count" : 10 },

 

While I completely missed that, I would have figured he would have seen a PGI if that were the only issue.

I also suck with the merging stuff so I don't know if that is right or not.

 

Not sure what you mean.

 

Okay so I looked into the log and I located the error, and it was pretty straightforward- it said that there was no such item. Problem is, I don't know how to make it exist since I thought that what I had would suffice for making it exist.

 

Take out the ';' is what he means.

 

Well that solved it. Thanks all of you guys for your help, you guys just helped me make
My first mod. You guys rock!
