i would like to request
LuaEntityPrototype::fluid_energy_source_prototype
which should expose the values from
https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/EnergyS ... rgy_source
my use case:
i have an assembling-machine which uses fluids as energy source. i would like to determine the fluid capacity of this source, but i currently don't see a way to do it in the control.lua. the issue is:
1.
game.entity_prototypes["robot-labor-assembler"].fluid_capacity is 0. this is as expected due to the comment
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... d_capacity
"Note: Crafting machines will report 0 due to their fluid capacity being what ever a given recipe needs."
2.#game.entity_prototypes["robot-labor-assembler"].fluidbox_prototypes is 0 (the array is empty). this may or may not be ok. For me it is ok to not have the fluid energy sources as part of the fluidbox_prototypes. But then i would expect to get them somewhere else.
Therefore i am requesting LuaEntityPrototype::fluid_energy_source_prototype, because currently the entity prototype class only has "burner_prototype" and "electric_energy_source_prototype".
For reference, the prototype i am working with looks like this:

Workaround:
the workaround currently is to determine this number from a concrete entities fluid boxes, such as
myEntity.fluidbox.get_capacity(myIndex)
where fluid energy sources are available. However since this number should be constant for all entities of this prototype, independent of the current recipe, i would like to avoid doing this repeatedly.
