RocketSiloPrototype::energy_usage and generally missing descriptions

Post by curiosity »

What are all the different energies for in Prototype/RocketSilo? How is Prototype/RocketSilo#energy_usage different from Prototype/CraftingMachine#energy_usage it shadows? The page is generally lacking descriptions.

A detailed description of the launch sequence saying which property of RocketSilo (and RocketSiloRocket) goes where in it would be even better.

It seems that the migrated prototype docs are missing energy_usage on RocketSiloPrototype but I can see the shadowing in the source code. So once the difference is figured out, there needs to be an override for the property.

Turns out there is no difference in energy_usage on RocketSiloPrototype and CraftingMachinePrototype, so I fixed this in the source code (the docs will be unchanged).

In 1.1.90, the order of the launch sequence is described in https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/def ... ilo_status, which was added to the API after this doc request was made. Furthermore, more RocketSiloPrototype properties related to the launch sequence will have descriptions.
