Properties

icons :: array[IconData] optional

Can't be an empty array.

icon :: FileName optional

Path to the icon file.

Mandatory if icons is not defined.

icon_size :: SpriteSizeType optional

Default: 64

The size of the square icon, in pixels. E.g. 32 for a 32px by 32px icon. Must be larger than 0.

Only loaded if icons is not defined.

default_temperature :: floatchanged

Also the minimum temperature of the fluid. Has to be lower than max_temperature.

base_color :: Color

Used by bars that show the fluid color, like the flamethrower turret fill bar in the tooltip, or the fill bar for the fluid wagon tooltip; and for the pipe windows and storage tank fill gauges.

flow_color :: Color

Used only for pipe windows or storage tank fill gauges.

visualization_color :: Color optional new

Color to use for visualization. This color should be vibrant and easily distinguished.

If not specified, this will be auto-generated from base_color by converting to HSV, decreasing saturation by 10% and setting value to 80%.

max_temperature :: float optional changed

Default: value of default_temperature

heat_capacity :: Energy optional

Default: "1kJ"

Joule needed to heat 1 Unit by 1 °C.

Example

heat_capacity = "0.2kJ"

fuel_value :: Energy optional

Default: "0J"

Example

fuel_value = "3MJ"

emissions_multiplier :: double optional

Default: 1.0

Scales pollution generated when the fluid is consumed.

gas_temperature :: float optional changed

Default: max value of float

Above this temperature the gas_flow animation is used to display the fluid inside storage tanks and pipes.

auto_barrel :: bool optional

Default: true

Whether the fluid should be included in the barrel recipes automatically generated by the base mod.

This property is not read by the game engine itself, but the base mod's data-updates.lua file. This means it is discarded by the game engine after loading finishes.

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,
  order = "a[fluid]-a[water]"
}
