Prototype/MiningDrill
Basics
Prototype type: mining-drill
A mining drill. Based on Prototype/EntityWithHealth.
Mandatory properties
This prototype inherits the properties of Prototype/EntityWithHealth.
vector_to_place_result
Type: Types/vector
The position where the (mine) result is placed, when the mining drill is facing south (?).
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). The drill 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.
energy_usage
Type: Types/Energy
The amount of energy used by the drill while mining. Can't be less than or equal to 0
mining_speed
Type: Types/double
The speed of this drill.
energy_source
Type: Types/EnergySource
The energy source of this mining drill.
resource_categories
Type: Types/string
The names of the Prototype/ResourceCategory that can be mined by this drill. For a list on built-in categories, see Data.raw#resource-category.
animations
Type: Types/Animation4Way
The animations to use.
Optional properties
output_fluid_box
Type: Types/FluidBox
input_fluid_box
Type: Types/FluidBox
base_picture
Type: Types/Sprite4Way
shadow_animations
Type: Types/Animation4Way
allowed_effects
Type: Types/EffectTypeLimitation
Default: All effects are allowed
radius_visualization_picture
Type: Types/Sprite
The sprite used to show the range of the mining drill.
storage_slots
Type: Types/ItemStackIndex
Default: 1
The output slot(s).
circuit_wire_max_distance
Type: Types/double
Default: 0
The maximum circuit wire distance for this entity.
draw_copper_wires
Type: Types/bool
Default: true
draw_circuit_wires
Type: Types/bool
Default: true
base_render_layer
Type: Types/RenderLayer
Default: "lower-object"
monitor_visualization_tint
Type: Types/Color
When this mining drill is connected to the circuit network, the resource that it is reading (either the entire resource patch, or the resource in the mining area of the drill, depending on circuit network setting), is tinted in this color when mousing over the mining drill.
circuit_wire_connection_points
Type: Types/table of Types/WireConnectionPoint
Mandatory if circuit_wire_max_distance > 0.
circuit_connector_sprites
Type: Types/table of Types/CircuitConnectorSprites
Mandatory if circuit_wire_max_distance > 0.
module_specification
Type: Types/ModuleSpecification
input_fluid_patch_sprites
Type: Types/Sprite4Way
Only read if input_fluid_box exists. Even then it's optional.
input_fluid_patch_shadow_sprites
Type: Types/Sprite4Way
Only read if input_fluid_box exists. Even then it's optional.
input_fluid_patch_window_sprites
Type: Types/Sprite4Way
Only read if input_fluid_box exists. Even then it's optional.
input_fluid_patch_shadow_animations
Type: Types/Sprite4Way
Only read if input_fluid_box exists. Even then it's optional.
input_fluid_patch_window_base_sprites
Type: Types/table of Types/Sprite4Way
Only read if input_fluid_box exists. Even then it's optional.
input_fluid_patch_window_flow_sprites
