[41.73] [Singleplayer] |ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Cotton"].tools = "Base.Scissors"| not working

[zakarum]

Alright, so ClothingRecipesDefinitions.lua
You can mod both Denim and Leather to require new tools (like Algol does with Advanced Gear as well as other mods). That works. But you cannot make standard, ripped-sheets-giving clothing require tools.

Even if you change the game's ClothingRecipesDefinitions.lua to

 

ClothingRecipesDefinitions = {};

ClothingRecipesDefinitions["Sheet"] = {materials="Base.RippedSheets:4" }
--ClothingRecipesDefinitions["Belt2"] = {materials="Base.LeatherStrips:1"}


ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"] = {}
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Cotton"] = {};
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Cotton"].material = "Base.RippedSheets";
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Cotton"].tools = "Base.Scissors";

ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Denim"] = {};
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Denim"].material = "Base.DenimStrips";
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Denim"].tools = "Base.Scissors";
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Denim"].noSheetRope = true;

ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Leather"] = {}
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Leather"].material = "Base.LeatherStrips";
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Leather"].tools = "Base.Scissors";
ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Leather"].noSheetRope = true;

Clothing will still be "rip-able" without scissors. If you create a custom, like, TESTClothingRecipesDefinitions.lua and put in the exact same place in a custom mod, import everything and write it like:
 

require "Definitions/ClothingRecipesDefinitions"

ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"]["Cotton"].tools = {"Base.Scissors"}

It still doesn't work, while changing FabricType to Denim or Leather will make it so it works perfectly (for Denim/Leather clothes). But anyway, changing the vanilla ClothingRecipesDefinitions makes it for an easy and fast test of what I'm talking about. Meanwhile, ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua seems to check if a tool is needed
 

-- check if we need tools for this
    if clothing:getFabricType() and instanceof(clothing, "Clothing") then
        local option = context:addOption(getRecipeDisplayName("Rip clothing"), playerObj, ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.onRipClothing, items)
        -- Item is favourited, add tooltip
        if clothing:isFavorite() then
            local tooltip = ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.addToolTip();
            tooltip.description = getText("ContextMenu_CantRipFavourite");
            option.toolTip = tooltip;
        end
        -- Tool is needed
        local tools = ClothingRecipesDefinitions["FabricType"][clothing:getFabricType()].tools;
        if tools and not playerObj:getInventory():getItemFromType(tools, true, true) then
            option.notAvailable = true;
            local tooltip = ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.addToolTip();
            local toolItem = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem(tools);
            tooltip.description = getText("ContextMenu_Require", toolItem:getDisplayName());
            option.toolTip = tooltip;
            return;
        end

 

However, it seems this check doesn't work with Cotton. So I'm stumped to what is going wrong, the only conclusion being that there's a bug in the code from ISInventoryPaneContextMenu when checking for tools.

Reply from modding support (I am not it) : you need to modify or overwrite the recipe itself and not anything in this file.

Oh... my bad then. I misinterpret it all and made a basic mistake. Sorry about it.

It works, need to be in the recipe rather than where I was looking for.
