TransportBeltConnectablePrototype

Abstract class that anything that is a belt or can connect to belts uses.

Properties

belt_animation_set

• Type: TransportBeltAnimationSet
• Optional: true
• Override: false

speed

• Type: double
• Optional: false
• Override: false

The speed of the belt: speed × 480 = x Items/second.

The raw value is expressed as the number of tiles traveled by each item on the belt per tick, relative to the belt's maximum density - e.g. x items/second ÷ (4 items/lane × 2 lanes/belt × 60 ticks/second) = <speed> belts/tick where a "belt" is the size of one tile. See Transport_belts/Physics for more details.

Must be a positive non-infinite number. The number is a fixed point number with 8 bits reserved for decimal precision, meaning the smallest value step is 1/2^8 = 0.00390625. In the simple case of a non-curved belt, the rate is multiples of 1.875 items/s, even though the entity tooltip may show a different rate.

animation_speed_coefficient

• Type: double
• Optional: true
• Override: false

collision_box

• Type: BoundingBox
• Optional: true
• Override: true

Transport belt connectable entities must have collision_box of an appropriate minimal size, they should occupy more than half of every tile the entity covers.

Examples

collision_box = {{-0.4, -0.4}, {0.4, 0.4}}

flags

• Type: EntityPrototypeFlags
• Optional: true
• Override: true

Transport belt connectable entities cannot have the "building-direction-8-way" flag.
