Properties

type :: `"electric"` optional

This is only loaded, and mandatory if the energy source can be loaded as multiple energy source types.

buffer_capacity :: Energy optional

How much energy this entity can hold.

Example

buffer_capacity = "5MJ"

usage_priority :: ElectricUsagePriority

Example

usage_priority = "secondary-input"

input_flow_limit :: Energy optional

Default: Max double value

The rate at which energy can be taken, from the network, to refill the energy buffer. 0 means no transfer.

Example

input_flow_limit = "300kW"

output_flow_limit :: Energy optional

Default: Max double value

The rate at which energy can be provided, to the network, from the energy buffer. 0 means no transfer.

Example

output_flow_limit = "300kW"

drain :: Energy optional

How much energy (per second) will be continuously removed from the energy buffer. In-game, this is shown in the tooltip as "Min. [Minimum] Consumption". Applied as a constant consumption-per-tick, even when the entity has the property active set to false.

Example

drain = "1kW"

Examples

energy_source = -- energy source of oil pumpjack
{
  type = "electric",
  emissions_per_minute = 10,
  usage_priority = "secondary-input"
}

energy_source = -- energy source of accumulator
{
  type = "electric",
  buffer_capacity = "5MJ",
  usage_priority = "tertiary",
  input_flow_limit = "300kW",
  output_flow_limit = "300kW"
}

energy_source = -- energy source of steam engine
{
  type = "electric",
  usage_priority = "secondary-output"
}
