Other settings

Are in the settings.lua

Some settings are:

• What items can be made and what can not (valid and invalid)
• What items contribute to the process of making an item. (burn value)
• Super allow on some stuff that can seem to be to powerful.
• Allow anything to be burned? (Includes how much that item is worth if unrecognized)
• Allow all except that on the invalid list. (Can be used for those who are lazy and don't want to help contribute to the list of mods supported automatically)

Application Program Interface (API)

Use the fsg namespace.

local fsg = rawget(_G, "fsg") or nil
if fsg ~= nil then
	-- API calls here!
end

Functions:

• add_invalid(itemstring) Adds the given itemstring to the invalid list, that means it can not be told to produce that item.
• add_valid(itemstring) Adds the given itemstring to the valid list, that means you can produce it. (Not needed if fsg_allow_all is true)
• add_burnable(itemstring, burn_amount) Adds the given itemstring to the burnable list with burn_amount, that is, this item will provide this burn_amount to the progress of an item when placed in the burn area.
• is_invalid(itemstring) Returns true if the item is invalid, false otherwise.
• is_valid(itemstring) Returns true if the item is valid, false otherwise.
• is_burnable(itemstring) Returns burn_amount if item is in the burnable list, 0 otherwise.

Item Generator or Item Factory?

A Item Generator (fsg:gen) consumes "junk" items to produce other items. (Depending the items to be burned up, it may be significantly faster than a Item Factory, but the Factory can run indefinitly)

Where as a Item Factory (fsg:gen2) simply requires a product and gets to work producing items. (This also means an Item Factory doesn't have the big area for burning items, instead it goes at a constant rate)

Upgrading a Generator to a Factory

1. Simply stick your Item Generator into the furnace with plenty of fuel for the furnace.
2. Wait 5 minutes till you get your Item Factory from the furnace. (With coal lumps and a furnace, it took 8 coal to produce 1 Factory)

Downgrading a Factory to a Generator

There are 2 ways:

Crafting:

1. Simply stick your Item Factory into any slot on the crafting grid (9x9) and get your Item Generator back.

Furnace:

1. Stick your Item Factory back into the furnace to return it to a Item Generator. (About 1 second is needed to "cook" it down)
