Mandatory properties
Inherits all properties from PrototypeBase.
icons, icon, icon_size (IconSpecification)
Type: IconSpecification
default_temperature
Type: double
Also the minimum temperature of the fluid. Has to be lower than max_temperature
.
base_color
Type: Color
Used by bars that show the fluid color, like the flamethrower turret fill bar in the tooltip, or the fill bar for the fluidwagon tooltip; and for the pipe windows and storage tank fill gauges.
flow_color
Type: Color
Used only for pipe windows or storage tank fill gauges.
Optional properties
max_temperature
Type: double
Default: value of default_temperature
heat_capacity
Type: Energy
Default: "1KJ"
Joule needed to heat 1 Unit by 1 °C.
fuel_value
Type: Energy
Default: "0J"
emissions_multiplier
Type: double
Default: 1.0
Scales pollution generated when the fluid is consumed.
subgroup
Type: string
Default: "fluid"
The value of this property may not be an empty string. It either has to be nil, or a non-empty string.
gas_temperature
Type: double
Default: max value of double
Above this temperature the gas_flow
animation is used to display the fluid inside storage tanks and pipes.
Type: bool
Default: false
Hides the fluid from the signal selection screen.
Custom properties
The base mod reads the following property in data-updates.lua to determine if the fluid should be barreled. The property itself is not read by the C++ part of the game which means that it is discarded by the game when loading finishes.
- auto_barrel - bool - Optional, defaults to true. Whether the fluid should be included in the barrel recipes automatically generated in data-updates.lua in the base mod.
Example
{
type = "fluid",
name = "water",
default_temperature = 15,
max_temperature = 100,
heat_capacity = "0.2KJ",
base_color = {r=0, g=0.34, b=0.6},
flow_color = {r=0.7, g=0.7, b=0.7},
icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/water.png",
icon_size = 64,
icon_mipmaps = 4,
order = "a[fluid]-a[water]"
