CraftingMachinePrototype

The abstract basis of the assembling machines and furnaces. Contains the properties that both of them have.

Note that a crafting machine cannot be rotated unless it has at least one of the following: a fluid box, a heat energy source, a fluid energy source, or a non-square collision box. Crafting machines with non-square collision boxes can only be rotated before placement, not after.

Properties

quality_affects_energy_usage

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

When set, QualityPrototype::crafting_machine_energy_usage_multiplier will be applied to energy_usage.

energy_usage

Type: Energy
Optional: false
Override: false

Sets how much energy this machine uses while crafting. Energy usage has to be positive.

Examples

energy_usage = "90kW"

crafting_speed

Type: double
Optional: false
Override: false

How fast this crafting machine can craft. 1 means that for example a 1 second long recipe take 1 second to craft. 0.5 means it takes 2 seconds, and 2 means it takes 0.5 seconds.

Crafting speed has to be positive.

crafting_categories

Type: Array<RecipeCategoryID>
Optional: false
Override: false

A list of recipe categories this crafting machine can use.

Examples

crafting_categories = {"crafting", "smelting"}

energy_source

Type: EnergySource
Optional: false
Override: false

Defines how the crafting machine is powered.

When using an electric energy source and drain is not specified, it will be set to energy_usage ÷ 30 automatically.

fluid_boxes

Type: Array<FluidBox>
Optional: true
Override: false

The crafting machine's fluid boxes. If an assembling machine has fluid boxes *and* AssemblingMachinePrototype::fluid_boxes_off_when_no_fluid_recipe is true, the assembling machine can only be rotated when a recipe consuming or producing fluid is set, or if it has one of the other properties listed at the top of this page.

For assembling machines, any filters set on the fluidboxes are ignored.

Examples

fluid_boxes =
{
  {
    production_type = "input",
    pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
    pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
    volume = 1000,
    pipe_connections = {{ flow_direction = "input", direction = defines.direction.north, position = {0, -1} }},
    secondary_draw_orders = { north = -1 }
  },
  {
    production_type = "output",
    pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(),
    pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
    volume = 1000,
    pipe_connections = {{ flow_direction = "output", direction = defines.direction.south, position = {0, 1} }},
    secondary_draw_orders = { north = -1 }
  },
}

effect_receiver

Type: EffectReceiver
Optional: true
Override: false

module_slots

Type: ItemStackIndex
Optional: true
Override: false

The number of module slots in this machine.

quality_affects_module_slots

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

If set, QualityPrototype::crafting_machine_module_slots_bonus will be added to module slots count.

allowed_effects

Type: EffectTypeLimitation
Optional: true
Override: false

Sets the modules and beacon effects that are allowed to be used on this machine.

allowed_module_categories

Type: Array<ModuleCategoryID>
Optional: true
Override: false

Sets the module categories that are allowed to be inserted into this machine.

show_recipe_icon

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

Whether the "alt-mode icon" should be drawn at all.

return_ingredients_on_change

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

Controls whether the ingredients of an in-progress recipe are destroyed when mining the machine/changing the recipe. If set to true, the ingredients do not get destroyed. This affects only the ingredients of the recipe that is currently in progress, so those that visually have already been consumed while their resulting product has not yet been produced.

draw_entity_info_icon_background

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

Whether the "alt-mode icon" should have a black background.

match_animation_speed_to_activity

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

Whether the speed of the animation and working visualization should be based on the machine's speed (boosted or slowed by modules).

show_recipe_icon_on_map

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

Whether the recipe icon should be shown on the map.

fast_transfer_modules_into_module_slots_only

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

ignore_output_full

Type: boolean
Optional: true
Override: false

graphics_set

Type: CraftingMachineGraphicsSet
Optional: true
Override: false

graphics_set_flipped

Type: CraftingMachineGraphicsSet
Optional: true
Override: false

perceived_performance

Type: PerceivedPerformance
Optional: true
Override: false

Affects animation speed.

production_health_effect

Type: ProductionHealthEffect
Optional: true
Override: false

trash_inventory_size

Type: ItemStackIndex
Optional: true
Override: false

vector_to_place_result

Type: Vector
Optional: true
Override: false

forced_symmetry

Type: Mirroring
Optional: true
Override: false

crafting_speed_quality_multiplier

Type: Dict<QualityID, double>
Optional: true
Override: false

Each value must be >= 0.01.

If value is not provided for a quality, then QualityPrototype::crafting_machine_speed_multiplier will be used as a speed multiplier instead.

module_slots_quality_bonus

Type: Dict<QualityID, ItemStackIndex>
Optional: true
Override: false

If value is not provided for a quality, then QualityPrototype::crafting_machine_module_slots_bonus will be used as a module slots bonus instead.

Does nothing if CraftingMachinePrototype::quality_affects_module_slots is not set.

energy_usage_quality_multiplier

Type: Dict<QualityID, double>
Optional: true
Override: false

Each value must be >= 0.01.

If value is not provided for a quality, then QualityPrototype::crafting_machine_energy_usage_multiplier will be used as an energy usage multiplier instead.

Does nothing if CraftingMachinePrototype::quality_affects_energy_usage is not set.
