Referencing assets in other mods
Hi, how can create a mod that references assets from other mods? Is it possible to do this without access to the original mod source?
Specifically I would like to create a compatibility mod for my fluid mod that includes recipes where the output or ingredient would be a fluid from another mod like Ficsit Farming or Refined Power. I can determine the asset paths using FModel, even their properties, and I assume I should be able to create placeholders like in the starter project, but I do not know how.
A nice bonus would be if I could do this without creating a separate mod and conditionally register the recipes/schematics if the mods are present.
I am interested in solutions not involving C++ :)

Solution
There's no secret steps. You have the answers. Use FModel to find the name and path of an asset, then make a version just like the starter project and point to that. That will correctly reference content from another mod. The problems start with making it work when other people can't haven't or won't install the other mod.
