Prototype/RoboportEquipment

The prototype docs have moved to a new website with an improved format. This documentation page can now be found here: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes/RoboportEquipmentPrototype.html

This wiki page is no longer updated and will be removed at some point in the future, so please update your browser bookmarks or other links that sent you here. If you'd like to contribute to the new docs, you can leave your feedback on the forums.

Template:Prototype parent Used by personal roboport.

Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/Equipment.

Template:Prototype property The animation played at each charging point when a robot is charging there.

Template:Prototype property Presumably states the height of the charging stations and thus an additive offset for the charging_offsets.

Template:Prototype property Presumably, the distance from the roboport at which robots will wait to charge.

Template:Prototype property Can't be negative.

Optional properties

Template:Prototype property Unused, roboport equipment does not have a logistic radius that could be drawn.

Template:Prototype property The light emitted when charging a robot.

Template:Prototype property How many charging points this roboport has. If this is 0, the length of the charging_offsets table is used to calculate the charging station count.

Template:Prototype property Distance in tiles. This defines how far away a robot can be from the charging spot and still be charged, however the bot is still required to reach a charging spot in the first place.

Template:Prototype property The offset from the center of the roboport at which robots will enter and exit.

Template:Prototype property How many robots can exist in the network (cumulative).

Template:Prototype property The offsets from the center of the roboport at which robots will charge. Only used if charging_station_count is equal to 0.

Template:Prototype property Minimum amount of energy that needs to available inside the roboport's buffer so that robots can be spawned.

Template:Prototype property Must be a burner energy source. Add this is if the roboport should be fueled directly instead of using power from the equipment grid.

Template:Prototype property Mandatory if burner is present. The size of the buffer of the burner energy source, so effectively the amount of power that the energy source can produce per tick.
