Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/Container.

logistic_mode

Type: string
The way this chest interacts with the logistic network. Valid values are "passive-provider", "active-provider", "storage", "buffer" and "requester".

Optional properties

max_logistic_slots

Type: uint16
The number of request slots this logistics container has. Requester-type containers must have > 0 slots and can have a maximum of 1000 slots. Storage-type containers must have <= 1 slot.

render_not_in_network_icon

Type: bool
Default: true
Whether the icon should be rendered on this entity if the entity is not within a logistics network.

opened_duration

Type: uint8
Default: 0

animation

Type: Animation
Drawn when a robot brings/takes items from this container.

landing_location_offset

Type: vector
The offset from the center of this container where a robot visually brings/takes items.

use_exact_mode

Type: bool
Default: false
Whether logistic robots have to deliver the exact amount of items requested to this logistic container instead of over-delivering (within their cargo size).

animation_sound

Type: Sound
Played when a robot brings/takes items from this container. Ignored if animation is not defined.

Differing defaults

The defaults of the LogisticsContainerPrototype differ from the defaults of the ContainerPrototype:

• picture is not mandatory
