Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.

energy_usage

Type: Energy
The amount of energy this lab uses.

energy_source

Type: EnergySource
Defines how this lab gets energy.

on_animation

Type: Animation
The animation that plays when the lab is active.

off_animation

Type: Animation
The animation that plays when the lab is idle.

inputs

Type: table of string
A list of the names of science packs that can be used in this lab.

e.g. for the default lab, this is:

inputs = {"automation-science-pack", "logistic-science-pack", "chemical-science-pack", "military-science-pack", "production-science-pack", "utility-science-pack", "space-science-pack"}

If a technology requires other types of science packs, it cannot be researched in this lab.

Optional properties

researching_speed

Type: double
Default: 1

allowed_effects

Type: EffectTypeLimitation
Default: All effects are allowed
Sets the module effects that are allowed to be used on this lab.

light

Type: LightDefinition

base_productivity

Type: float
Default: 0
Productivity bonus that this machine always has.

entity_info_icon_shift

Type: vector
Default: {0, 0}
Shift of the "alt-mode icon" relative to the lab's center.

module_specification

Type: ModuleSpecification
The number of module slots.
