Mandatory properties

type

Type: string
Must be "sound".

name

Type: string
Name of the sound. Must be unique. Used as a https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Concepts.html#SoundPath.

Optional properties

aggregation

Type: table
Table with the following members:

max_count - uint32 - Mandatory.
progress_threshold - float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - If count already playing is true, this will determine maximum progress when instance is counted toward playing sounds.
remove - bool - Mandatory.
count_already_playing - bool - Optional. - Default: false - If true already playing sounds are taken into account when checking maxCount.

allow_random_repeat

Type: bool
Default: false

audible_distance_modifier

Type: double
Default: 1.0

variations

Type: table (array) of tables
Array of tables with the following members:

filename - FileName - Mandatory. Supported sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.
volume - float - Optional. - Default: 1.0
preload - bool - Optional.
speed - float - Optional. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64. This sets both min and max speed.
min_speed - float - Optional. Not loaded if speed is present. - Default: 1.0 - Speed must be >= 1 / 64.
max_speed - float - Mandatory if min_speed is present, otherwise not loaded. - Default: 1.0 - Must be >= min_speed.

filename

Type: FileName
Mandatory if variations is not given.

Support sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.

volume

Type: float
Default: 1.0
Only loaded if variations is not given.

preload

Type: bool
Only loaded if variations is not given.

speed

Type: float
Default: 1.0
Only loaded if variations is not given. Speed must be >= 1 / 64. This sets both min and max speed.

min_speed

Type: float
Default: 1.0
Only loaded if variations is not given. Not loaded if speed is present. Speed must be >= 1 / 64.

max_speed

Type: float
Default: 1.0
Only loaded if variations is not given. Mandatory if min_speed is present, otherwise not loaded. Must be >= min_speed.
