How to access properties of a prototype in control.lua

[EthanKing]

I'm making my first mod recently, and I need to access properties of a prototype which is not listed in the properties of a LuaEntityPrototype.

For example, I need too know the energy_consumption of a boiler (seehttps://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Boiler), but data.raw["boiler"]["boiler"]["energy_consumption"] is unavailable in control.lua. What should I do?

Code: Select all

game.entity_prototypes[<entity_name>][<property_name>]

game.entity_prototypes["boiler"].max_energy_usage
