IncitoScanea: /* Basics */

== Basics ==
All general properties of entities that involve pipes. Because this is an abstract class it cannot be created in game, rather, it acts like a guideline to which all other entities with pipe aspects follow.

== Properties ==
=== fluid_box ===
Type: uknown

This is the property to set the water amount an entity can hold, as well as the connection points for pipes leading into and out of the entity.

Example: Assembly Machine 2 Fluid Box
<pre>
fluid_boxes =
{
{
production_type = "input",
pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
base_area = 10,
base_level = -1,
pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {0, -2} }}
},
{
production_type = "output",
pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
base_area = 10,
base_level = 1,
pipe_connections = {{ type="output", position = {0, 2} }}
},
off_when_no_fluid_recipe = true
},
</pre>

A base area of 1 will hold 10 units of water, 2 will hold 20, etc...

IncitoScanea: /* effectivity */

== Properties ==
This prototype inherits all the properties from [[Prototype/EntityWithHealth]]

=== effectivity ===
Type: [[Types/unsigned]]

The effectivity of the generator with 0.5 being half as effective as a regular steam-engine generator.

=== fluid_usage_per_tick ===
Type: [[Types/unsigned]]

The number of water units the generator uses per tick.

=== energy_source ===
Type: [[Types/EnergySource]]

Defines how the generator is powered.

Solar panel

IncitoScanea: Added solar panel setup

{{languages}}
Solar panels are an infinite source of free energy, [[research]] of [[Solar energy]] enables production. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level, 60kW. Generated power will increase/decrease linearly during dusk and dawn, and no power is produced at night. When placed, the Solar Panel takes up 9 spaces, in a 3x3 area.
