Recipe not working

Ok after looking at several examples I'm stumped as to why this recipe I've made does not work.

Here's what it says:

<Zyamaia>

    <append xpath="/recipes">
    
        <recipe name="resourceAcid" count="1" craft_area="chemistryStation"  craft_time="20"  tags="chemStationCrafting">
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapBrass" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapLead" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="drinkJarRiverWater" count="1"/>
        </recipe>
        
    </append>

</Zyamaia>

 
Does it have a ModInfo.xml with it?

What does the Player.log show? i.e. there should be a few lines like this somewhere: these are the mod loading lines from my last session last night, and the mod I use is called "Red20"   Lines 70 to 79. . . . .

Your mod name should appear as INF [MODS] Loaded Mod: Zyamaia

(This is a Steam version, A20 b238, with the lo located at C:\Users\pj\AppData\LocalLow\The Fun Pimps\7 Days To Die\Player.log)

Shows the mod loaded but when I search the chemistry station for Acid nothing comes up.

 
I copied your code into my own recipies xml, Zy, and it showed up and worked without issue. . 

Acid1.JPG

Before Brass, Lead,and Murky stuff. . .

Acid2.JPG

Added the bits. . .

Acid3.JPG

Ran it, and and got my bottle.

Acid4.JPG

So I have no clue as to why it won't work..
Sorry. . . something is missing in your setup. Can you post the recipe.xml somewhere?

I tried to make it a mod and I THINK I followed the format but not 100% certain.  LOL and have no clue where I can upload this so you can actually see the mod.

edit:  I put the recipe physically in recipe.xml and it works fine just not when I try to make it into a mod LOL

Is your file structure right?  In your acid mod folder, do you have a config folder and the xml files (except for modinfo) in that folder?

 
I have the main folder I changed the name from Acid to Acid mod.  Then in that folder a config folder and modinfo.xml.  Inside the config folder I have a recipes.xml with the above recipe.

 
Good Morning Zy...  unfortunately the recipes.xmll is only a link to yout game installation on your C:.

The Modinfo looks ok, as long as the folder structure is like this below it should be ok. but we/I need to see your actual recipes.xml.

The recipes.xml should look like this:-
 

<configs>

    <append xpath="/recipes">
    
        <recipe name="resourceAcid" count="1" craft_area="chemistryStation"  craft_time="20"  tags="chemStationCrafting">
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapBrass" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="resourceScrapLead" count="2"/>
            <ingredient name="drinkJarRiverWater" count="1"/>
        </recipe>
        
    </append>

</configs>

This is a shot of my file structure: the Mod name is Red20, and contains a Configs file, where the recipes.xml sits, and you can see the ModInfo listed there too.
(Ignore the Assets-Resources-Sounds folders, etcc - they are parts of the much bigger Red20 mod)

Yours should look like this.

Nup - still comes as a link to the file. Don't worry about it, Zy:  the info above will make it work, provided no syntax or spelling errors . . . .    Just make it like the pics.
I'll be around here all day, so ask away if you still have problems.  👍

Umm, should this <Zyamaia> actually be <config> and </Zyamaia> be </config>?

Apparently the "toplevel" XML tags in a modlet XML file can be anything as long as the top and bottom one are identical (and the last has the slash in it). <config></config> is just what TFP has in all their files.  I use <Doughs></Doughs>, because that's how I learned to do it when i was learning by looking at other peoples mods.

 
Yeah - I found this, too Dough: I had half mine with an uppercase "C" and the other half with lowercase. . . sometimes the top half and sometimes. . . . 

Happy Holidays!!

 . . .and thanks for all your great mods!

☺️ :encouragement:
