- Player Signal - Intended to represent the player of a player_index. In a single player game the player has a player_index of 1, so Player Signal 1 would be the first player.
- Player Cursor Signal - Intended to represent the cursor of a player with a player_index.
- Energy Signal - Intended to represent energy (in Joules)
- Health Signal - Intended to represent an entity's health as an absolute value.
- Angle Signal - Intended to represent a 0-360 orientation. 90 means East, 180 means South, 270 means West and 360 (or 0) means North. This is basically Factorio’s internal orientation system multiplied by 360.
- Speed Signal - Intended to represent vehicle speed at 1000 times Factorio’s internal speed number system (the internal numbers are very small). Could also represent things like Crafting speed a 1000x.
- Distance Signal - Intended to represent distance or range in Tile.
- X Tile Position Signal - An X-Tile coordinate (East is positive, West is negative)
- Y Tile Position Signal - An Y-Tile coordinate (South is positive, North is negative)
- X Subtile Position Signal - (This represents 100 sub tiles per tile, i.e. 100 * X-Tile) - Useful for more precise positioning. It should be the same as 100 * X-Tile
- Y Subtile Position Signal - (This represents 100 sub tiles per tile, i.e. 100 * Y-Tile) - Useful for more precise positioning. It should be the same as 100 * Y-Tile
- Enemy Unit Signal - Intended to represent an enemy unit-type entity such as biters or enemy robot armies. Could also represent enemy players or vehicles.
- Enemy Unit Spawner Signal - A biter spawner.
- Enemy Turret Signal - Intended to represent an enemy turret-type entity such as Worms or enemy gun turrets.
- Land Signal - Represents any sort of land tile (from desert to concrete), anything that is not water.
- Water Signal - Represents any sort of water tile.
- Count-Of-Type Signal - Intended to be a generic counter representing the total population size of a certain type of thing based on the context. (The total number of Cars, the total number of Blue Circle Zones, etc) Usually paired with another signal to give it context.
- Time Since Target Locked Signal - Intended to represent the number of ticks since an entity last had a link on a target. If this value is low it is probably in combat.
- Time Since Moved Signal - Intended to represent the number of ticks since an entity changed its current tile. If the value is high it is probably idle or stuck.
- Time Since Last Command Signal - Intended to represent the number of ticks since an entity was given a command. Can be used as a delay timer so that the previous command can be allowed to continue for a few seconds.
