[0.17.3] autoplace_specification attributes missing

Trying to read the ore_protype.autoplace_specification attributes (
https://lua-api.factorio.com/0.17.3/Con ... cification ) at runtime doesn't work. Expected attributes like "placement_density" and "max_probability" are nil. Previously, my mods could access the "coverage" attribute, but this attribute seems to no longer exist.
Example:
/c game.print(game.entity_prototypes["iron-ore"].autoplace_specification.placement_density)

Autoplace seems to be converted to richness_expression and probability_expression at least in data stage. That could explain why old attributes on prototype won't work.

That is correct. I've update the Lua API docs to
indicate those two new properties. See
the Types/NoiseExpression page on the wiki for more details about noise expressions.
