Pump filter (splitter_filter but for pump)

Post by vinaghost »

Can we have pump_filter with the same behavior as splitter_filter ?https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... ter_filter

I expected something like this
pump_filter :: Read|Write ItemFilter ?

The filter for this pump, if any is set.
Can only be used if this is Pump
Currently (in 2.0.72), I only see defines.input_action.set_pump_fluid_filter https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/def ... uid_filter

Also I don't see FluidFilter or similar, it may become a problem when defining this property

itemfilters arent just an item name because they have to support quality. fluids don't so its just a fluid string

The better request would be access to the pump filter via script
