Material Flags

This page should provide information regarding what Material Flags are which are available and how to use them.

What is material flag?

This is concept which allows GTCE to generated or prevent generation of specific items and recipes. For example MaterialIngot will generate Ingot, Block, Nugget and Dust (in all three sizes). But no plate. If Plate is required then it has to be specified via flag GENERATE_PLATE.

Using more then one Flag

More then one flag can be specified for example if GENERATE_PLATE and GENERATE_ROD is used Material will generate both Plate and Rod. This is done be binary OR.

Limitation

Not all Material Flags can be applied to every Material. For example it does not make sense to generate Lens from Ingot Material like Iron. So flag will be ignored.

Mistake correction and flag superseding

System is designed to fix possible problems regarding missing steps in generation. For example if flag GENERATE_FINE_WIRE is used but flag GENERATE_FOIL is missing it will be automatically applied as Fine Wire could not be created without Foil. Best superseding example is EXCLUDE_BLOCK_CRAFTING_BY_HAND_RECIPES and EXCLUDE_BLOCK_CRAFTING_RECIPES first will remove recipes for hand crafting and second one will do same as first one plus removes also recipes for extruding and alloy smelting recipes via SHAPE_EXTRUDING/MOLD_BLOCK.

Usage

Material flags can be applied either on construction of Material (not available for CT) or later via addFlags. Flags can be added until Material registry freezing and they can't be removed.

API

Creating material with Flags on construction:

IngotMaterial AnnealedCopper = new IngotMaterial(87, "annealed_copper", 0xFF7814, MaterialIconSet.SHINY, 2, of(new MaterialStack(Copper, 1)), GENERATE_PLATE | GENERATE_ROD | GENERATE_BOLT_SCREW | GENERATE_LONG_ROD | GENERATE_GEAR | GENERATE_FOIL | GENERATE_FINE_WIRE | MORTAR_GRINDABLE);

Applying flags later:

IngotMaterial AnnealedCopper = new IngotMaterial(87, "annealed_copper", 0xFF7814, MaterialIconSet.SHINY, 2, of(new MaterialStack(Copper, 1)));
AnnealedCopper.addFlag(GENERATE_PLATE | GENERATE_ROD | GENERATE_BOLT_SCREW | GENERATE_LONG_ROD | GENERATE_GEAR | GENERATE_FOIL | GENERATE_FINE_WIRE | MORTAR_GRINDABLE);

CraftTweaker

Applying flags later:

val specialCopper = MaterialRegistry.createIngotMaterial(500, "special_copper", 0xFF7814, "shiny", 2);
specialCopper.addFlags(["GENERATE_PLATE","GENERATE_ROD","GENERATE_BOLT_SCREW","GENERATE_LONG_ROD","GENERATE_GEAR","GENERATE_FOIL","GENERATE_FINE_WIRE","MORTAR_GRINDABLE"]);

This must be done in a file with a special crafttweaker loader, #loader gregtech at the top of the file.

Flag Table

Flags with ID 0 to 3 (included) are not applicable to Materials they are shown only for completion. Some flags are marked Not implemented as they lack any implementation even if flag is used.
