[2.0.64] Inserter item tooltip and inserter entity tooltip are inconsistent when prototype has high constant drain

Post by Senari »

  1. What did you do?
    Adjusted an inserter prototype to have a significant drain in its energy source.
    Example: data.raw.inserter["bulk-inserter"].energy_source.drain = "50kW" in a data-final-fixes.lua file.
  2. What happened?
    Item tooltip shows a max. consumption of 218 kW and min. consumption of 50 kW.

    Entity tooltip shows a max. consumption of 179 kW and min. consumption of 50 kW.

    Additionally, the entity itself does drain power consistent with the entity tooltip, leading to a constant drain of 50 kW when inactive, with "valleys" of 98kW and "peaks" of 179kW due to the power usage mechanics described on the wiki.

  3. What did you expect to happen instead?
    I expected that the entity and entity tooltip would have max. and min. consumption numbers matching the item, as the numbers on the item line up with what I expected from increasing the constant drain of a bulk inserter by 49 kW.
  4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
    Always.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
