Mandatory properties

Inherits all properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.

speed

Type: double

Optional properties

max_speed

Type: double
Default: max double
The maximum speed of the robot. Useful to limit the impact of worker robot speed (research).

max_energy

Type: Energy
Default: 0
How much energy can be stored in the batteries.

energy_per_move

Type: Energy
Default: 0
How much does it cost to move 1 meter.

energy_per_tick

Type: Energy
Default: 0

min_to_charge

Type: float
Default: 0.2
The robot will go to charge when it has less energy than this.

max_to_charge

Type: float
Default: 0.95
If the robot has more energy than this, it does not need to charge before stationing.

speed_multiplier_when_out_of_energy

Type: float
Default: 0
Some robots simply crash, some slowdown but keep going. 0 means crash.
