== Mandatory properties ==
This prototype inherits all the properties from [[Prototype/EntityWithHealth]].
 
{{Prototype property|energy_source|[[Types/EnergySource|EnergySource]]}}
Must be an electric energy source.
 
{{Prototype property|fluid_box|[[Types/FluidBox|FluidBox]]}}
 
{{Prototype property|horizontal_animation|[[Types/Animation|Animation]]}}
 
{{Prototype property|vertical_animation|[[Types/Animation|Animation]]}}
 
{{Prototype property|effectivity|[[Types/double|double]]}}
The effectivity of the generator with 0.5 being half as effective as a regular steam-engine generator.
 
{{Prototype property|fluid_usage_per_tick|[[Types/double|double]]}}
The number of fluid units the generator uses per tick.
 
{{Prototype property|maximum_temperature|[[Types/double|double]]}}
The maximum temperature to which the efficiency can increase. After this temperature the generator will run at 100% efficiency. Note: higher temperatures can still be consumed.
 
== Optional properties ==
 
{{Prototype property|smoke|[[Types/table|table]] of [[Types/SmokeSource|SmokeSource]]|optional=true}}
Array of 1 or more smoke sources.
 
{{Prototype property|burns_fluid|[[Types/bool|bool]]|false|optional=true}}
 
{{Prototype property|scale_fluid_usage|[[Types/bool|bool]]|false|optional=true}}
Scales the generator's fluid usage to its maximum power output.
 
{{Prototype property|min_perceived_performance|[[Types/double|double]]|0.25|optional=true}}
Animation runs at least this fast. This corresponds to the sound.
 
{{Prototype property|performance_to_sound_speedup|[[Types/double|double]]|0.5|optional=true}}
 
{{Prototype property|max_power_output|[[Types/Energy|Energy]]|optional=true}}
