Array (Types/table) of strings. The possible strings are listed below.

"not-rotatable"

Can't be rotated before or after placing.

"placeable-[force]"

  • "placeable-player"
  • "placeable-neutral"
  • "placeable-enemy"

placeable neutral/player/enemy determine the default force when placing entities in the map editor and using the *AUTO* option for the force.

"placeable-off-grid"

placeable-off-grid refers to the fact that most entities are placed on an invisible 'grid' within the world, entities with the placeable-off-grid flag do not have to line up with this grid (like trees and land-mines)

"player-creation"

Makes it possible for the biter AI to target the entity as a distraction. Makes it possible to blueprint, deconstruct, and repair the entity (can be turned off again using the specific flags). Enables smoke to be created automatically when building the entity.

"building-direction-8-way"

Uses 45 degree angle increments when selecting direction.

"filter-directions"

Used to automatically detect the proper direction, if possible. Used by base with the pump, train stop, and train signal.

"fast-replaceable-no-build-while-moving"

Fast replace will not apply when building while moving.

This is used to specify that the entity breathes air, and so is affected by poison (currently poison capsules are the only source).
