[Bilka] [0.17.79] Efficiency not listing on in-game tooltip of placed generator?
Posted: Thu Nov 21, 2019 8:52 pm
I'm making a custom entity via mod and setting it to be 25% efficient (it's a generator type). I noticed a few things and I wonder if any/all of them are intentional:
I can kinda understand effectivity needing to be in two places, but they shouldn't be allowed to differ when one is cosmetic and one is actual.
Here is the entity definition I'm using. I haven't gotten around to making the artwork, so for now, yes, it's a steam engine 'entity' in the world with a nuclear reactor icon. I'll fix it later. I have to force myself to use blender. :/
- effectivity for the entity itself only affects the tooltip display and does NOT change the efficiency of the generator itself.
- Setting effectivity in the 'burner' property of the generator correctly modifies generator efficiency, but does not create a correct tooltip.
- Once the item is placed in the world, the Efficiency is no longer listed on the tooltip for the entity, only if it is mined into inventory is the efficiency once again displayed.
