I'd like to have a list of all science labs at all times. Obviously doing this with find_entities_filtered every frame is a colossal waste. Does the API provide all the events I need to maintain my list? I'm not 100% sure which events I should be looking at:

Code: Select all

on_built_entity
on_entity_cloned -- When does this happen?
on_entity_died
on_player_mined_entity
on_robot_built_entity
on_robot_mined_entity

-- for these ones, I'm relying on other mods to be good neighbours and call them
script_raised_built
script_raised_destroy
script_raised_revive

That looks like the complete list to me.

Thanks for the confirmation. Hooking into these calls does seem to be working.

Just to answer your question of when does "on_entity_cloned" happen.

This will be when the player uses the Cloning Tool on the Editor, you can activate the editor on any game with /editor in the console, however it may disable achievements.
