is it possible to craft item inside a container? i was trying to make something like this:
{
“type” : “recipe”,
“result”: { “item”: “meat”, “container-item”: “wrapper” },
“category”: “CC\_FOOD”,
“subcategory”: “CSC\_FOOD\_OTHER”,
“skill\_used”: “cooking”,
“difficulty”: 1,
“time”: 100,
“autolearn”: true,
“components”: [
[[ “meat”, 1] ],
[
[“wrapper”, 1],
[“paper”, 2]
]
]
}
which is obviously didn’t worked, but is it possible at all without adding some fake already wrapped new food item?

There is a number of canned, vacuum-packed and pickled recipes in game that require containers for crafting. I never looked into the code myself but that might be what you’re looking for.

It looks like you add the
“container”: “jar\_glass\_sealed”,
field to the recipe. See data/json/recipes/recipe\_food.json lines 5717-5776, among others, for examples.
Though the only recipes that use a container field only use jar\_glass\_sealed or jar\_3l\_glass\_sealed as containers, so there might be some other limitation there. Canned soup recipes don’t use it, but there’s no documentation about any limitation so I would give it a try.
