RecipeDictionary

class

Named group of recipes shared by machines of one family

load-only Usable only while mods load. The game seals these members once loading finishes, so a call or a write from a running world raises an error.

Fields

Name	Type		Description
start_tier	load-only	integer	Machine-unlock tier shared by every recipe in the dictionary

recipe

returns boolean False when the recipe is null or its name is already taken

item

returns boolean False when the item is null

Every recipe of this dictionary, in the order the crafting UI lists them

name

Take a recipe out of this dictionary and out of every research unlocking it. Crafters that had it selected in a save fall back to no recipe
