A small Mod for Factorio built around Scrap.

This Mod is written under Factorio 1.1.33. It inserts its data in the data-updates stage. Affected are only "vanilla-names" (iron, copper, steel). If you want to add scrap for other mods recipes then just edit data-updates.lua where youll find the two array at the top of the file.

The _types table holds the patterns and is used to match parts of a recipe name with string.find(). So iron will match iron-plate and hardenend-iron-plate. Even superironbar would be a match. To exclude like copper-plate but still use copper-cables just be more specific. It is also used to contruct the scrap-items like iron-scrap and the recycle recipes like recycle-iron-scrap.

 local _types = {"iron", "copper", "steel"} 

This table holds the result suffix which is then be constructed to _types.."-".._results (eg iron-plate). Like the _types table, this one also goes by priority, so index 1 is taken if possible, if not 2 will be checked etc. When no match is found then the recipe will be ignored and it is also logged. As there will be no recycling of this scrap-item plate is added to the end as some sort of fallback.

 local _results = {"plate"}
