I’m currently making a mod for my own personal use, and I found that there doesn’t seem to be any way to override construction recipes with modded versions. Both the original and modded recipe shows up under the same description in the construction menu.

Anyone got any idea what to do?

That’s really odd, I thought I successfully did that with my experimental mod. I’ll check now and tell you what i found.

What game version are you using?

I can’t override construction either. The only way to change default constructions is by editing the core JSONs.
