=== save ===
'''Type''': [[Types/FileName]]
 
The save file that is used for this simulation. If not given and <code>generate_map</code> is true, a map gets generated by the game.
 
=== init_file ===
'''Type''': [[Types/FileName]]
 
This code is run as a (silent) console command inside the simulation when it is first initialized. Since this is run as a console command, the restrictions of console commands apply, e.g. <code>require</code> is not available<sup>[https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Libraries.html]</sup>.
 
=== init ===
'''Type''': [[Types/string]]
 
'''Default''': ""
 
Only loaded if <code>init_file</code> is not present.

=== update_file ===
'''Type''': [[Types/FileName]]
 
This code is run as a (silent) console command inside the simulation every time the simulation is updated. Since this is run as a console command, the restrictions of console commands apply, e.g. <code>require</code> is not available<sup>[https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Libraries.html]</sup>.
 
=== update ===
'''Type''': [[Types/string]]
 
'''Default''': ""
 
Only loaded if <code>update_file</code> is not present.

=== init_update_count ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint32]]
 
'''Default''': 0
 
Amount of ticks that this simulation should run for before the simulation is shown to the player. These updates happen after init/init_file has been run and at the highest possible rate (> 60 UPS).
 
=== length ===
'''Type''': [[Types/uint32]]
 
'''Default''': 0
 
How long this simulation takes. In the main menu simulations, another simulation will start after this simulation ends.
 
=== generate_map ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]
 
'''Default''': false
 
If <code>save</code> is not given and this is true, a map gets generated by the game for use in the simulation.
 
=== checkboard ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]
 
'''Default''': true
 
If this is true, the map of the simulation is set to be a lab-tile checkerboard in the area of {{-20, -15},{20, 15}} when the scenario is first initialized (before init/init_file run).
 
=== volume_modifier ===
'''Type''': [[Types/float]]
 
Multiplier for the simulation volume set by the player in the sound settings.
 
=== override_volume ===
'''Type''': [[Types/bool]]
 
If true, overrides the simulation volume set by the player in the sound settings, simply setting the volume modifier to 1.
