Template:Recipe

This is the Template Documentation from Template:Recipe/doc.

Overview

Creates a detailed table showing one or more recipes.

Use whenever you need to show a wiki-linked, user-friendly, sortable, and always-up-to-date version of the in-game recipe book instead of a screenshot. You can get very specific and narrow down the table to only one recipe with the parameters.

The table mimics the in-game recipe book with the building, efficiency grade and production time, ingredients, and product or service.

The table is completely data-driven, based on the parameters. It validates input, retrieves all necessary data, and handles all formatting.

The normal usage for this template produces a large table that typically fills the width of the article. (In rare cases, the table can overrun into the margin. This is a known issue and steps have already been taken to reduce the width of the table.)

Parameters

Product, Building, or Ingredient

At least one of these is required, and combinations are allowed. All names provided must be spelled (and, for buildings, punctuated) correctly to match the in-game name. These names will be the same as the articles for those goods and buildings.

If you do not wish to write the code product= and building=, you may skip that. If you skip naming them, they must appear in that order, and you cannot skip the product name. The ingredient must always be named. In the future, because building names and resource names are mutually exclusive, this template may be made more flexible with the product and building parameter.

Parameter	Type	Description
product	string	The name of the product or service associated with the recipe. (If you specify a service, do not change the parameter name from product.)	At least one of these is required.
building	string	The name of the building where the recipe is produced.
ingredient	string	The name of any ingredient in a recipe.
display	"list"	If you include display=list it overrides the table display into a bulleted list of products or buildings (depending on which you specified). Useful for populating larger tables or between paragraphs where displaying the entire recipe is excessive or irrelevant.

Examples

Basic usage

{{Recipe|Crystalized Dew|Brickyard}}

Makes a table of exactly one recipe, for the specified product, in the specified building.

1 recipes for Crystalized Dew in the Brickyard.

Building	Grade	Ingredient #1	Ingredient #2	Ingredient #3	Product
	☆ 0:42	3 Herbs 3 Insects 3 Resin 3 Vegetables 3 Algae	4 Stone 4 Clay 3 Salt	10 Storm Water 14 Clearance Water 18 Drizzle Water	2

{{Recipe||Tavern}}

Makes a table showing the services and service goods in the specified building. Note the double-pipe character (||), which skips specifying the product. If you prefer more readable template calls, you can write building= instead of two pipes.

2 recipes in the Tavern.

Building	Grade	Ingredient	Product
	☆ 0:00	1 Ale	1  Leisure
	☆ 0:00	1 Wine	1  Luxury

{{Recipe|building=Press|ingredient=Grain}}

Makes a table of the recipes that use (instead of produce) the specified ingredient. If you omit the building, you will get a much longer table of all recipes that use Grain.

2 recipes using Grain in the Press.

Building	Grade	Ingredient	Product
	☆ 1:03	2 Grain 2 Meat 2 Vegetables 2 Plant Fiber 2 Fish	5  Oil
	☆ 1:24	8 Grain 8 Mushrooms 8 Roots 8 Algae	10  Flour

Other examples

{{Recipe|ingredient=Grain|display=list}}

To show all of those recipes, we can instead use the display override to show a bulleted list with much less information overall but in a much more compact form.

• Oil (☆)
• Flour (☆)
• Leather (☆)
• Meat (☆)
• Ale (☆)
• Pack of Crops (☆)
• Porridge (☆)
• Eggs (☆)

{{Recipe|product=Meat|ingredient=Plant Fiber}}

{{Recipe|product=Meat}}

Specifying both the product and ingredient is redundant in most cases. Only when products can be both (a) gathered and (b) produced in industry buildings will the results be different. There is currently no way to match only recipes with empty ingredients except by making separate boxes for separate buildings.

1 recipes for Meat using Plant Fiber.

Building	Grade	Ingredient	Product
Ranch	☆ 1:24	8 Plant Fiber 8 Reed 8 Algae 8 Grain 5 Vegetables	10

2 recipes for Meat.

Building	Grade	Ingredient	Product
Trappers' Camp Small Trappers' Camp	☆ 0:17	—	1
Ranch	☆ 1:24	8 Plant Fiber 8 Reed 8 Algae 8 Grain 5 Vegetables	10

{{Recipe|building=Press|display=list}}

{{Recipe|product=Oil|display=list}}

The bulleted list example above was made by specifying the Grain ingredient, which resulted in a list of products made from that ingredient. Specifying a building also makes a list of products, those made in that building:

• Oil (☆)
• Flour (☆)
• Paste (☆)

However, specifying a product instead makes a list of buildings, those where that product is made:

• Flawless Druid's Hut (☆)
• Press (☆)
• Butcher (☆)
• Druid's Hut (☆)

{{Recipe||Supplier|Grain}}

Forgetting to explicitly name the ingredient parameter with ingredient= does not result in an error, but the ingredient is ignored:

3 recipes in the Supplier.

Building	Grade	Ingredient #1	Ingredient #2	Product
	☆ 1:03	—	7 Grain 7 Mushrooms 7 Roots 7 Algae	10  Flour
	☆ 0:42	—	5 Wood	2  Planks
	☆ 1:24	5 Leather 5 Scales	3 Oil 3 Meat 3 Salt	10  Waterskins

{{Recipe|building=Small Warehouse}}

{{Recipe|Flour|Brickyard}}

Asking for buildings with no recipes does not result in an error, but an empty table. Empty tables can also happen if you ask for a combination of product, building, and ingredient which are valid but result in no recipes.

0 recipes in the Small Warehouse.

No recipes.

0 recipes for Flour in the Brickyard.

No recipes.

Errors

The following are error messages generated by calling the template incorrectly.

Note: If you are having trouble understanding how the template is understanding your parameters, the caption can help!

{{Recipe}}

With no parameters:

{{Recipe|product=Reeds}}

{{Recipe|building=Alchemists' Hut}}

Misspelling the name of a resource:

Or the name of a building:

{{Recipe|Scribe}}

Forgetting the second pipe when only specifying the building:

{{Recipe|||Grain}}

Using 3 pipes to skip product and building, but not explicitly naming the ingredient parameter with ingredient=:

{{Recipe|product=Smoothies}}

Naming a product (or building, or ingredient) that doesn't exist in the game (or misspelling or mis-punctuating a building name):
