RitnProtoOre

Data-stage manipulator for data.raw["resource"][<name>] (ore patches). Inherits from RitnPrototype. Provides :remove() (full ore purge) and the static .active(...) helper to register ores from lualib/vanilla/ores.lua.

Warning — Factorio 1.x API: this class hasn't been revised since Factorio 2.0 (the resource() template notably uses hr_version). Usable but not validated for 2.0 — see Factorio 2.0 migration.

Constructor

RitnProtoOre(resource) → RitnProtoOre

Deep-copies data.raw["resource"][resource] into prototype. No-op if the resource isn't found.

Parameters - resource :: string — resource name ("iron-ore", "copper-ore"…).

Methods

:remove() → RitnProtoOre

Full purge: removes the resource prototype, the autoplace-control, the entry in every map-gen-preset's autoplace_controls, and the "infinite-<name>" companion if it exists.

RitnProtoOre.active(resource, bStart, bStandard)

Static helper (dot, not :). Initializes the patch set and registers the autoplace-control + resource via data:extend, from lualib/vanilla/ores.lua.

Parameters - resource :: string — ore key in lualib/vanilla/ores.lua. - bStart :: boolean — seed the patch set near the starting area. - bStandard :: boolean — if true, build the resource via the internal template; otherwise use ores[resource].resource as-is.

local RitnProtoOre = require(ritnlib.defines.class.prototype.ore)
RitnProtoOre.active("silica-sand", true, false)

The generic mutators (:changePrototype…) are inherited from RitnPrototype.

Usage example

Register a vanilla-template ore (RitnGlass/data.lua):

RitnProtoOre.active("silica-sand", true, false)
