Data.raw

What is this page - Examples

This is a listing of what is accessible from the data.raw table in Factorio as of 0.7.x and how to use it. As such this should also be a table of all the vanilla entities/items and all possible entity and item types (bold names) that can be used in prototyping another object. All bold names that are not listed after the colon are entity types (question mark means I'm not certain, but pretty sure): ammo, ammo-category, autoplace-control, damage-type, font, gui-style, item, item-group, map-settings, noise-layer, particle?, projectile?, rail-category, recipe, recipe-category, smoke?, technology, tile

Just a note here but: It is not currently possible to add a NEW type (bold name) to Factorio, without asking the developers to do it

Now, examples:

--add loot item to small biters
local loot = { --define loot in local variable
    item = "alien-artifact",
    probability = 1, --[0-1)
    count_min = 1,
    count_max = 5 
  }
if data.raw.unit["small-biter"].loot == nil then --check if small-biter has loot, if not make loot an empty table
  data.raw.unit["small-biter"].loot = {}
end
table.insert{data.raw.unit["small-biter"].loot, loot} --insert loot into loot table

--add loot to all enemy units (biters) that do not already drop loot
for _, unit in pairs (data.raw.unit) do 
  if not unit.loot then -- if unit.loot does not exist (aka is nil)
    unit.loot = {{ --create it, note the double {{ because loot is a table with multiple (possible) results
      item = "alien-artifact",
      probability = 1, --[0-1)
      count_min = 1,
      count_max = 5 
    }}
  end --note no else for if unit.loot does exist
end

--increase player health :)
data.raw.player.player.max_health=1337
