Electric energy source

buffer_capacity

Type: Types/Energy

How much power the entity holds.

usage_priority

Type: Types/ElectricUsagePriority

input_flow_limit

Type: Types/Energy

Default: 0

How fast the energy can flow into the entity. 0 means no limit.

output_flow_limit

Type: Types/Energy

Default: 0
