An item ingredient definition, for example for a Prototype/Recipe. Its loading is triggered by the type of a Types/IngredientPrototype being "item". It can be specified as a table with named or numbered keys, but not a mix of both.

Mandatory properties

name or 1

Type: Types/string

The name of a Prototype/Item.

amount or 2

Type: Types/uint16

Optional properties

catalyst_amount

Type: Types/uint16

Default: 0

Only loaded if the table is using named keys. Amount of this ingredient that should not be included in the item consumption statistics. Usually used together with an equal catalyst amount on the "product" of the catalyst in the recipe.

If this ItemIngredientPrototype is used in a recipe, the catalyst amount is calculated automatically based on the ingredients and results.[1]

Example

{type="item", name="steel-plate", amount=8}
