Prototype/MiningDrill

Basics

A mining drill. Based on Prototype/EntityWithHealth.

Properties

This prototype inherits the properties of Prototype/EntityWithHealth.

animations

Type: Map of Types/string -> Types/Animation

The animations to use. Should look like this:

animations = {
   north = {
      ... animation goes here ...
   },
   south = {
      ... animation goes here ...
   },
   east = {
      ... animation goes here ...
   },
   west = {
      ... animation goes here ...
   }
}

mining_speed

Type: Types/double

The speed of this drill. Electric mining drills have 0.5. Burner mining drills have 0.35.

energy_source

Type: Types/EnergySource

The energy source of this mining drill.

energy_usage

Type: Types/EnergyPower

The amount of energy used by the drill while mining.

mining_power

Type: Types/double

Mining power minus the hardness of the resource is a factor in the mining rate. Burner mining drills have 3.5. Electric mining drills have 3.

resource_searching_radius

Type: Types/double

The distance from the centre of the mining drill to search for resources in.

This is 2.49 for electric mining drills (a 5x5 area) and 0.99 for burner mining drills (a 2x2 area). There is presumably a reason that these are not 2.5 and 1.0.

(Dysoch) The reason is that it searches resource outside its natural boundary box, which is 0.01. (the middle of the entity) making it 2.5 and 1.0 gives it another block radius

vector_to_place_result

Type: Types/vector

The position where the result is placed, when the mining drill is facing south (?).

module_slots

Type: Types/unsigned

The number of module slots.

radius_visualization_picture

Type: Types/Sprite

The sprite used to show the range of the mining drill.
