Types/FluidBox

Basics

All general properties of entities that involve pipes. Because this is an abstract class it cannot be created in game, rather, it acts like a guideline to which all other entities with pipe aspects follow.

Properties

fluid_box

Type: uknown

This is the property to set the water amount an entity can hold, as well as the connection points for pipes leading into and out of the entity.

Example: Assembly Machine 2 Fluid Box

fluid_boxes =
{
  {
    production_type = "input",
    pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
    pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
    base_area = 10,
    base_level = -1,
    pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {0, -2} }}
  },
  {
    production_type = "output",
    pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
    pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
    base_area = 10,
    base_level = 1,
    pipe_connections = {{ type="output", position = {0, 2} }}
  },
  off_when_no_fluid_recipe = true
},

A base area of 1 will hold 10 units of water, 2 will hold 20, etc...
