Additional properties for defined type of entity

Post by obs1Kflops »

Hi people,

Is it possible that belt entity type uses energy as a assembling machine for example?
I mean is there a way to add energy_source and energy_usage properties to transport-belt type of entity?

Not through the prototype - transport belt entities aren't programmed to use energy in any way.

You'd have to make a second entity that can consume power and spawn it every time a transport belt was built. It wouldn't work well.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
