Anyways, onto the subject. Fluid boxes. I don't understand them well. I was making a machine that melts metals into liquids and vice versa. For the fluid boxes, I decided to just copy it from the assembling machine. I got an error, and in fact the same error I got when I tried changing stuff around. It says this:
Code: Select all
Error while loading entity prototype "melter" (assembling-machine):
Invalid pipe connections specification for offset {0.0, 3.0}.
Modifications: item-group-test
(Also, the name of my mod is item-group-test. That's what it originally was, but it eventually became a mod where I added stuff to it whenever I wanted to try something new XD)
So basically, what I'm saying is, what am I doing wrong? I don't even understand the whole fluid box thing in the first place. And why is it complaining about the pipe connections? It seems whatever value I set them to it still gives an error. This is what I currently have for the fluid boxes section in the entity, if that helps:
Code: Select all
fluid_boxes =
{
{
production_type = "input",
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
base_area = 10,
base_level = -1,
pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {0, 3} }}
},
{
production_type = "input",
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
base_area = 10,
base_level = -1,
pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {0, -3} }}
},
}
