Is it possible to read a fx. assembly machines 1 crafting speed from code that runs ingame, I cant find it anywhere in the API

Alright Guess I'll make some tests and see what I can do. I should probably add my own versions of the furnaces, as an alternative that can track if the player wants them to

So I guess there is no easy way to tell what a furnace is currently crafting?

Is there any way to read the recipe that the furnace is currently using, fx 5 iron plate into steel plates, without having to go and manually check whats in it's inventory and compare it to all smelting recipes to find a match? (it seems the entity.recipe is empty)

Code: Select all

for chunk in surface.get_chunks() do
    local entities = surface.find_entities_filtered{name="my-entity", area={{chunk.x*32, chunk.y*32}, {(chunk.x+1)*32, (chunk.y+1)*32}}}
    for _, entity in pairs(entities) do
        --stuff
    end
end

Ah, thank you very much I will try that

alright thanks, if I understand correctly I can go through each of the luasurfaces with a loop right? Also where can I find the max size of the areas used for the find entities

I was looking around the modding api, and I can't seem to find a function that allows me to return an array with all entities of a type, assemblers, furnaces and so forth, have I missed something? Or is the LuaSurface "find_entities_filtered" the way I have to do it?
