Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.

Template:Prototype property The speed of the belt (since 0.17): speed × 480 = x Items/second

The raw value is expressed as the number of tiles traveled by each item on the belt per tick, relative to the belt's maximum density - e.g. x items/second ÷ (4 items/lane × 2 lanes/belt × 60 ticks/second) = <speed> belts/tick where a "belt" is the size of one tile. See Transport_belts/Physics for more details.

Must be a positive non-infinite number. The number is a fixed point number with 8 bits reserved for decimal precision, meaning the smallest value step is 1/2^8 = 0.00390625. In the simple case of a non-curved belt, the rate is multiples of 1.875 items / s, even though the entity tooltip may show a different rate.

Optional properties

Template:Prototype property Either this, or all of the properties below this one have to be present.

Mandatory values

Transport belt connectables have additional requirements for the properties inherited from Prototype/Entity:

• Transport belt connectable entities must collide with "transport-belt-layer".
• Transport belt connectable entities must have collision mask that collides with itself.
• Transport belt connectable entities cannot have collision mask that collides only with tiles (must collide with entities in some way).
• Transport belt connectable entities must have collision box of an appropriate minimal size, they should occupy more than half of every tile the entity covers.
• Transport belt connectable entities cannot have the "placeable-off-grid" flag specified.
