I'm have an idea to transform the huge polution we make, in energy. Using some kind of "solar panel", modified.
I will create an "greenhouse" to create leafs, and use it to other things.
But, I have no idea how to convert the pollution into energy (the lua code).
Any help will be welcome.
Thanks.
But, how the game identify that the energy is come from pollution?
Maybe there is a formula, that use "X" emissions (depend on the entity) multiplied with a base number, then the result is the amount of energy produced per tick, second, hour, whaterver.
Thats is there I want to get in.
Any idea?

Something like "emissions * 100", so if emissions are 1.5, then "1.5 * 100" = "150Kw". If the entity is a lvl 2, then it will be "1.5 * 150" = "225Kw". And so on.

what is it that you want to achieve, when you name the 'solar panel' Pollution reënergyefier, it should turn up in the energy view as Pollution reënergyefier. What do you wish to happen?

Ok so what you can do,
Power is created by using a generator, and this creates power by consuming a hot liquid,
So you can work out a reasonable conversion of pollurion to energy.
Say you want 1 unit of pollution to equal 1MJ or something,
Write a script to say,
By this entity, remove 1 pollution, and add 1 unit of water at 100 degrees to the generator.
If you look over these two scripts to see some examples to each.
function check_generators()
if global.petroleum_generator ~= nil then
for k,gen in pairs(global.petroleum_generator) do
--if k % 10 == game.tick % 10 then
if gen.valid then
if gen.fluidbox[1] ~= nil then
local pot = gen.fluidbox[1]
local p = gen.position
if pot.type == "petroleum-gas" then
pot["temperature"] = 80
gen.surface.pollute({p.x, p.y}, 0.8/60)
elseif pot.type == "light-oil" then
pot["temperature"] = 100
gen.surface.pollute({p.x, p.y}, 1/60)
elseif pot.type == "diesel-fuel" then
pot["temperature"] = 100
gen.surface.pollute({p.x, p.y}, 1.2/60)
elseif pot.type == "heavy-oil" then
pot["temperature"] = 60
gen.surface.pollute({p.x, p.y}, 0.6/60)
else pot["temperature"] = 15 end
gen.fluidbox[1] = pot
end
else table.remove(global.petroleum_generator, k)
--end
end
end
end
end
function check_turbines()
if global.wind_turbine ~= nil then
for k,gen in pairs(global.wind_turbine) do
if k % 250 == game.tick % 250 then
if gen.valid then
if gen.fluidbox[1] ~= nil then
local pot = gen.fluidbox[1]
pot["amount"] = 10
pot["temperature"] = 100*(game.wind_speed*25)
gen.fluidbox[1] = pot
else table.remove(global.wind_turbine, k)
end
end
end
end
end
end
I hope this helps

Thanks for all the replys. I will try and tell if I succeed.

My first thought was an endless loop, where the machine continuously puts out power and removes pollution. But eventually, you would run out of pollution, but still make power.
My next idea is make a machine that turns pollution into some kind of fuel, and just feed the fuel into a specific generator. Done!

Yeah, but to make the machine stop when there's no pollution, we need a code, just like the on I wrote up here. So, if no pollution, no energy.
But I think the game don't have this codes.

Up until now, I'm stop work in the mod, because of a health issue. I need some little time to be good again.
