Configuration

Add comments

Advanced Generators uses BACON format for it’s configuration, this page describes Advanced Generators specific mechanics and extensions, refer to the main BACON documentation for explanation of the format.

Loading order

<jar>/assets/generators/config/files.lst is read from the jar, this specifies the internal list of config files
Each config file name is checked:
- If <minecraft>/config/AdvancedGenerators/override/<filename> is present – it is loaded instead
- otherwise <jar>/assets/generators/config/<filename> is loaded
all files in <minecraft>/config/AdvancedGenerators/*.cfg are loaded in alphabetic order

User supplied configuration

There are 3 ways to provide custom configuration extensions:

Create a file in <minecraft>/config/AdvancedGenerators named <whatever>.cfg – This is the recommended method
Extract any of the files from the jar into <minecraft>/config/AdvancedGenerators/overrides and edit them there – You will be need to manually update them when the mod updates
Edit the files directly in the JAR – This is the least recommended method

Added Statements

Adding turbine fuel – this is a recipe statement:

turbine-fuel: {fluidname} {number} MJ/mB
turbine-fuel: {fluidname} BLACKLIST // – This will disable the fluid as a fuel

Valid fluid names can be listed using the /dumpregistry command (added by BdLib)

Carbon values (for syngas producer)

carbon-value: {StackRef} => {number}
carbon-value: {StackRef} DEFAULT // – Based on burn time
carbon-value: {StackRef} BLACKLIST // – Disable as carbon source

Heat exchanger recipes

exchanger: {resource} => {resource} + {number} HU // Heating
exchanger: {resource} + {number} HU => {resource} // Cooling
exchanger: BLACKLIST {resource} // Disable

Resources are defined as:

fluid:{fluid} {number} mB // Fluid resource
{StackRef} {number} // Number of items
