Optional properties

apparent_volume

Type: Types/float

audible_distance_modifier

Type: Types/double

probability

Type: Types/double

Modifies how often the sound is played. Example:

match_progress_to_activity

Type: Types/bool

match_volume_to_activity

Type: Types/bool

match_speed_to_activity

Type: Types/bool

Example

Refinery:

working_sound =
 {
  sound = { filename = "__base__/sound/oil-refinery.ogg" },
  idle_sound = { filename = "__base__/sound/idle1.ogg", volume = 0.6 },
  apparent_volume = 2.5,
 },

Roboport:

working_sound =
    {
      sound = { filename = "__base__/sound/roboport-working.ogg", volume = 0.6 },
      max_sounds_per_type = 3,
      audible_distance_modifier = 0.5,
      probability = 1 / (5 * 60) -- average pause between the sound is 5 seconds
    },
