Factorio Forums

I have checked, and there is no prototype with the type of Item for the Rocket Item. i would like to know what type the Rocket Item goes by, since this is nil: and my mod won't work unless i can find the rocket item prototype.

It's exact listing in the game field I don't know, but you should be able to search the Lua files with information from there.

(Edit: Wrong "rocket" )

I meant the missile thing.

As far as I'm aware, that is the missile thing. "rocket-silo-rocket"
(Edit: Also, the description from the link I gave before is "The rocket inside the rocket silo".)

The silo is just "rocket-silo": https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... otype.html

Like the item version of this: https://wiki.factorio.com/Rocket
I should have posted this from the start.

Ah, apologies, I was thinking of the wrong rocket.

data.raw.ammo.rocket

It's in the item.lua file in the base game files.

I think i figured that one out by myself just a bit before you posted it.

I also think that the prototypes by the name of 'rocket-silo' and 'rocket-silo-rocket' are not the same as the prototype by the name of 'rocket'

Well, yeah. Rocket is the thing you fire from a rocket launcher at biters, while rocket silo is the structure that launches the rocket silo rocket into orbit.

I came to this thread just after reading a couple other threads about the rocket silos and modding them of which you had posted in, and thus I got mixed up on what exactly you were looking for. That's my fault. The picture would've definitely have helped me ( ), but that wasn't on you or required of you to provide. It was my mistake.

Yeah. Again, i should have posted that link on the original post. The rocket (ammo) icon is what i wanted to use for an icon for my mod, which does some rocket silo changes. I just thought that the rocket silo (rocket) icons and textures are not detailed enough and too big respectively for an icon for an (unobtainable) item. That would be the Rocket Item. But not the Ammo prototype, just a regular Item. it is the Rocket 'Part' that the recipe i am using in the rocket silo in this mod, makes. It is equivelent to the Rocket Part icon in Unmodded Factorio.
