Is it possible to find out if the assembly machine (LuaEntityPrototype) supports the liquid at the input?

This depends on the recipe, but in general the assembler only supports fluids if it has a fluidbox. This property cannot be read for the LuaEntityPrototype in 0.16, but you will be able to read it in 0.17: https://lua-api.factorio.com/0.17.0-pre ... prototypes

If you are looking at a LuaEntity, use https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... y.fluidbox. There is no easy/straight-forward way to find out which fluid should be in this fluidbox for this machine to work. You can even insert any other fluid.
