Blueprint Input Items

Configuration for a required ingredient item in a blueprint.

Value Format

For straightforward cases, a simple one-liner format is supported:

• {ID}

• {ID} x {Amount}

• this

• this x {Amount}

For examples:

// Canned Beans:
78fefdd23def4ab6ac8301adfcc3b2d4

// Or, using Canned Beans' legacy ID:
13

// Two cans of beans:
13 x 2

// Owning asset:
this

// Two of owning asset:
this x 2

Dictionary Format

Unlike the shorter format above, using these properties requires the { } dictionary format. For example:

InputItems
[
        {
                // First input item properties
        }
        {
                // Second input item properties
        }
]

ECraftingInputPrioritization Enumeration

Named Value	Description
LowestAmount	Sort items with lowest “amount” to front of list.
HighestAmount	Sort items with highest “amount” to front of list.
LowestQuality	Sort items with lowest quality% to front of list.
HighestQuality	Sort items with highest quality% to front of list.

ECraftingInputCountingMethod Enumeration

Named Value	Description
TotalItems	Sum up number of items found, ignoring amount.
TotalAmount	Sum up “amount” of each item. Optionally counting zero as one.

---

Amount uint8 1

Quantity of this item needed to craft the blueprint. Minimum value of one.

---

AllowEmpty bool false

If true, items with an “amount” of zero are included in eligible supplies. Otherwise, they are ignored (default).

Defaults to true if CountEmptyAsOne is true.

This option exists primarily for the FillTargetItem operation’s internal use.

---

AllowFull bool true

If true, items with an “amount” greather than or equal to their maximum amount are ignored. Otherwise, they are eligible (default).

This option exists primarily for the FillTargetItem operation’s internal use.

---

AllowMaxQuality bool true

If true, items with quality of 100% are eligible (default). Otherwise, they are ignored.

This option exists primarily for the RepairTargetItem operation’s internal use.

---

CountEmptyAsOne bool false

If true, items with an “amount” of zero are included in eligible supplies as amount 1.

This option is used in vanilla for salvaging empty magazines.

---

CountingMethod ECraftingInputCountingMethod

Determines how available amount of this input is calculated.

Defaults to TotalItems unless Operation is FillTargetItem in which case TotalAmount is used.

---

Critical bool false

If true, the blueprint is hidden from the crafting menu if this input item is missing.

Useful for blueprints that aren’t relevant to the player without a specific item. For example, the first input item of a FillTargetItem blueprint is often marked Critical.

---

Delete bool true

If true, this item is consumed when crafting the blueprint.

If false, this item is marked as a “Tool” in the crafting menu. (For example, a Saw item required to cut wood.)

---

ID Asset Pointer to Item Asset

This property can also be set to a string value of this, which will use the the owning asset’s ID. Useful for Salvage blueprints to avoid accidentally writing the wrong ID.

---

Prioritization ECraftingInputPrioritization

Controls which items are used first. For example, whether to use the lowest quality items first.

Defaults to LowestQuality unless Operation is FillTargetItem in which case LowestAmount is used.
