I’m trying to make a recipe that replicates deconstructing rags to thread in order to reduce the button presses for mass thread harvesting. I made the recipe itself fine but due to how thread is defined in the ammo.json, it only outputs 50 thread. Is there any way to make it output 100 like the deconstruction does?

Edit: Woo, thanks to KA101 for pointing me in the right direction on IRC. Used the byproducts function to get it to spawn another thread item so instead of 50 the recipe pops out 100.

You can also use

“result\_mult” : 2

as in brew\_whiskey recipe. Never tried it for ammo, but it probably works.
