Template:Recipe define

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Purpose

This template provides a method to rapidly illustrate crafting recipes without in-depth knowledge of wiki syntax or manual repetition/copy-pasting.

Basic usage

The following 2 templates are provided for making a recipe.

• Template: Recipe define: Defines a recipe. The defined recipe can be called by Template: Recipe fetch from any page in this wiki. Usually, recipes are defined on the page of a building. This template only defines recipes but does not display anything.
• Template: Recipe draw: Only displays a written recipe. The recipe written with this template cannot be called by Template: Recipe fetch.

Both templates can be used with the format written in #Examples in this document.

Parameters

The template accepts the following parameters:

• Building: Name of buildings (example: Blast Furnace). No need to specify on pages using Template:Infobox machine because the building is automatically detected.
• Input1Name, Input2Name, ..., Input6Name: Name of materials (example: Iron Ore)
  • Input1Name = Mining (optional): Applies special format for mining.
• Output1Name, Output2Name, ... Output6Name: Name of products (example: Molten Iron)
  • Output1Name = Dumping (optional): Applies special format for dumping.
• Input1Qty, ..., Input6Qty, Output1Qty, ..., Output6Qty: Amount of materials or products per 1 cycle of recipe.
• Time: Cycle time of recipe.
• Input1Unit, ..., Input6Unit, Output1Unit, ..., Output6Unit (optional): Adds unit (for Electricity and Mechanical Power)
• HideBldg (optional, rare): Hides building in recipe. No need to specify on pages using Template:Infobox machine (the building is automatically hidden).
• Unreleased = yes (optional, rare): Applies special format for unreleased recipe

Limitations

This template can accept up to 6 inputs, 6 outputs, and 1 time value per recipe. The output can include only 1 pollution.

Examples

Example usage for mining

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Input1Name = Mining | Output1Name = Copper Ore }}	[[File:{{{Output1Icon}}}.png|64x64px|link=Copper Ore]]

Example usage for dumping loose materials

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Output1Name = Dumping | Input1Name = Rock }}	[[File:{{{Input1Icon}}}.png|64x64px|link=Rock]]

Example usage for a machine with both inputs and outputs without pollution (most recipes)

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Rotary Kiln | Input1Name = Limestone | Input1Qty = 12 | Input2Name = Coal | Input2Qty = 2 | Time = 10 | Output1Name = Cement | Output1Qty = 4 | Output2Name = Exhaust | Output2Qty = 8 }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Rotary Kiln]]Coal : 12 72 2 12 10  60  4 24 8 48

Example for buildings that "provide" materials (Groundwater Pump, Air Separator, etc.)

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Groundwater Pump | Time = 10 | Output1Name = Water | Output1Qty = 8 }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Groundwater Pump]] : PROVIDES 8 48 / 10  / 60

Example usage for dumping/flaring/venting non-polluting liquids/gasses

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Smoke Stack | Input1Name = Oxygen | Input1Qty = 200 | Time = 20 }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Smoke Stack]]Small : ACCEPTS 200 600 / 20  / 60

Example usage for recipe with pollution

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Liquid Dump | Input1Name = Waste Water | Input1Qty = 2 | Time = 2 | Output1Name = Water Pollution | Output1Qty = 2 }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Liquid Dump]] : ACCEPTS 2 60 / 2  / 60    2 60
{{Recipe | Building = Exhaust Scrubber | Input1Name = Exhaust | Input1Qty = 30 | Input2Name = Water | Input2Qty = 4 | Time = 10 | Output1Name = Sulfur | Output1Qty = 1 | Output2Name = Carbon Dioxide | Output2Qty = 12 | Output3Name = Steam Lo | Output3Qty = 4 | Output4Name = Air Pollution | Output4Qty = 4 }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Exhaust Scrubber]] : 30 180 4 24 10  60  1 6 12 72 4 24   4 24

Example usage for Mechanical Power and Electricity recipes with units

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Low-pressure Turbine | Input1Name = Steam Lo | Input1Qty = 4 | Time = 5 | Output1Name = Mechanical Power | Output1Qty = 1 | Output1Unit = MW | Output2Name = Steam Depleted | Output2Qty = 4 }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Low-pressure Turbine]]Tier I : 4 48 5  60    1 MW 4 48

Example usage for instantaneous recipes

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Power Generator | Input1Name = Mechanical Power | Input1Qty = 500 | Input1Unit = KW | Time = 0 | Output1Name = Electricity | Output1Qty = 250 | Output1Unit = KW }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Power Generator]] :   500 KW   250 KW

Example usage for recipes with variable quantity

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Waste Collection | Time = 60 | Output1Name = Waste | Output1Unit = ? }}	[[File:{{{BuildingIcon}}}.png|72x72px|link=Waste Collection]] : PROVIDES ? ? / 60  / 60

Example usage for hiding the building (automatically happens on pages using Template:Infobox machine)

Markup	Renders as
{{Recipe | Building = Mixer | HideBldg = yes | Input1Name = Sand | Input1Qty = 18 | Input2Name = Limestone | Input2Qty = 4 | Input3Name = Salt | Input3Qty = 4 | Time = 20 | Output1Name = Glass Mix | Output1Qty = 14 }}	18 54 4 12 4 12 20  60  14 42
