Labs

By default, all laboratories process items from the Ingredients stash and convert them directly into another product, which is added to the Products stash.

If you want to replace this process, you can use the customProcess function located in av_gangs\server\editable\labs.lua.

This is an example of processing money laundering laboratories where the item in the Ingredients stash is markedbills, which contains metadata. We will use that metadata to calculate the output using the worth value and multiplying it by the quantity of markedbills. The output is the item cash.

function customProcess(identifier, lab, gang, ingredientStash, productStash)
    local processed = false
    local type = lab and lab['type'] or false
    if type and type == "laundromat" then
        local items = exports['av_laptop']:getStashItems(ingredientStash)
        local toAdd = 0
        if items and next(items) then
            for k, v in pairs(items) do
                if v['name'] == "markedbills" then
                    local metadata = v['metadata'] or v['info'] or {}
                    local worth = metadata['worth'] or 0
                    toAdd += worth
                end
            end
            if toAdd > 0 then
                exports['av_laptop']:wipeStash(ingredientStash)
                exports['av_laptop']:addToStash(productStash, "cash", toAdd)
            end
        end
        processed = true
    end
    return processed
end
