Prototype/CraftingMachine

Basics

This type is abstract and cannot be created directly.

The abstract basis of the assembling machines and furnaces. Contains the properties that both of them have.

Note that a crafting machine cannot be rotated unless it has at least one of the following: a fluid box, a heat energy source, a fluid energy source, or a non-square collision box.

Extensions

• Prototype/AssemblingMachine assembling-machine
  • Prototype/RocketSilo rocket-silo
• Prototype/Furnace furnace

Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithHealth.

energy_usage

Type: Types/Energy

Sets how much energy this machine uses while crafting. Energy usage has to be positive.

crafting_speed

Type: Types/double

How fast this crafting machine can craft. 1 means that for example a 1 second long recipe take 1 second to craft. 0.5 means it takes 2 seconds, and 2 means it takes 0.5 seconds.

Crafting speed has to be positive.

crafting_categories

Type: Types/table of Types/strings

A list of recipe categories this crafting machine can use.

Example:

crafting_categories = {"crafting", "smelting"}

energy_source

Type: Types/EnergySource

Defines how the crafting machine is powered.

When using an electric energy source and drain is not specified, it will be set to energy_usage ÷ 30 automatically.

animation

Type: Types/Animation4Way

The animation played when crafting. When the crafting machine is idle, the animation will be paused.

When a crafting machine cannot be rotated (see #Basics), only the north rotation of the animation will be used.

idle_animation

Type: Types/Animation4Way

The animation played when idle. Idle animation must have the same frame count as animation.

When a crafting machine cannot be rotated (see #Basics), only the north rotation of the idle animation will be used.

Optional properties

fluid_boxes

Type: Types/table of Types/FluidBox

Can have off_when_no_fluid_recipe key that has a Types/bool value. off_when_no_fluid_recipe defaults to false.

If a crafting machine has fluid boxes and off_when_no_fluid_recipe is true, the crafting machine can only be rotated when a recipe consuming or producing fluid is set, or it has one of the other properties listed in #Basics.

fluid_boxes =
    {
      {
        production_type = "input",
        pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
        pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
        base_area = 10,
        base_level = -1,
        pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {0, -2} }},
        secondary_draw_orders = { north = -1 }
      },
      {
        production_type = "output",
        pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
        pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
        base_area = 10,
        base_level = 1,
        pipe_connections = {{ type="output", position = {0, 2} }},
        secondary_draw_orders = { north = -1 }
      },
      off_when_no_fluid_recipe = true
    },

allowed_effects

Type: Types/EffectTypeLimitation

Sets the module effects that are allowed to be used on this machine.

has_backer_name

Type: Types/bool

Default: false

scale_entity_info_icon

Type: Types/bool

Default: false

show_recipe_icon

Type: Types/bool

Default: true

always_draw_idle_animation

Type: Types/bool

Default: false

return_ingredients_on_change

Type: Types/bool

Default: false

Controls whether the ingredients of an in-progress recipe are destroyed when mining the machine/changing the recipe. If set to true, the ingredients do not get destroyed. This affects only the ingredients of the recipe that is currently in progress, so those that visually have already been consumed while their resulting product has not yet been produced.

entity_info_icon_shift

Type: Types/vector

Default: {0, -0.3} for Prototype/AssemblingMachine and {0, -0.1} for Prototype/Furnace

draw_entity_info_icon_background

Type: Types/bool

Default: true

Whether the "alt-mode icon" should have the black background.

module_specification

Type: Types/ModuleSpecification

The number of module slots in this machine, and their icon positions.

module_specification = {
  module_info_icon_shift = {
    0,
    0.8
  },
  module_slots = 2
},

working_visualisations

Type: Types/table of Types/WorkingVisualisation
