Prototype instance limit

[Trific]

I note that on the wiki, under Prototype/Tile, it notes "Only 255 instances of this prototype may be defined." I haven't checked all the other prototypes, but those I did have no notation about a limit. 65535? Is the limit for each one documented anywhere? A data dump similar to data.raw for instance?

Which prototypes do you need to know the limit for?

[Trific]

Any that are also limited to 255? I'm assuming this limit means the number defined by vanilla plus any defined by mods can't exceed the limit. I would not expect that to be an issue with a limit of 65535, but 255 could be.

The limit of 255 isn't on anything else where it would be relevant. Nevertheless, I have noted the ones that are limited to 255 on the wiki. For your convenience, the following prototype types are limited to 255 instances:

• DamageType
• EquipmentCategory
• EquipmentGridPrototype
• AmmoCategory
• ItemGroup
• ModuleCategory
• AutoplaceControl
• Decorative (also known as optimized decorative)
• Tile
• ResourceCategory
• TrivialSmoke
• FuelCategory
