TechnologyUnit

Either count or count_formula must be defined, never both.

Type

struct

Properties

count

• Type: uint64
• Optional: true

How many units are needed. Must be > 0.

count_formula

• Type: MathExpression
• Optional: true

Formula that specifies how many units are needed per level of the technology.

If the last characters of the prototype name are -<number>, the level is taken to be the number, e.g. physical-projectile-damage-2 implies a number of 2. This defaults to 1. There does not need to be lower-level technologies for a technology to be detected as having a level, meaning a technology or sequence of upgrade technologies can begin at any number.

For an infinite technology, the level begins at the given suffix (or 1 by default) and gains 1 level upon being researched, or if the max_level is reached, marked as completed. The initial level of a technology can not be greater than its max_level.

l and L are provided as variables in the expression, they represent the current level of the technology.

This formula can also be used at runtime.

Examples

count_formula = "2500*(L - 3)"

time

• Type: double
• Optional: false

How much time one unit takes to research. In a lab with a crafting speed of 1, it corresponds to the number of seconds.

ingredients

• Type: Array<ResearchIngredient>
• Optional: false

List of ingredients needed for one unit of research. The items must all be ToolPrototypes.
