The prototype docs have moved to a new website with an improved format. This documentation page can now be found here: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/MapPosition.html

Coordinates of a tile in a map. Positions may be specified either as a dictionary with x, y as keys, or simply as an array with two elements. Positive x goes towards east, positive y goes towards south, and x is the first dimension in the array format.

The coordinates are fixed size int: 32 bit with 8 bits reserved for sub 1 precision, this means that it's smallest value step is 1/2^8 = 0.00390625.


Example

{10, 20}

Example

{x = 50, y = 20}
{y = 20, x = 50}
