New 2.1 ElemTypes are not documented.

Post by Osmo »

As per viewtopic.php?p=689843, some new values were added to ElemType, but they do not appear on the docs https://lua-api.factorio.com/2.1.9/conc ... mType.html

+1, it's been long enough now that I keep forgetting about them. To save you a click, these new types are:
  • airborne-pollutant
  • ammo-category
  • quality (was possible to get a similar result with type = "signal", signal_type = "quality" before in some contexts)
  • shortcut
  • space-connection
  • surface
  • virtual-signal (not the same as "signal", does virtuals only)

Thanks for the note and the list, I've added these to the docs for 2.1.21.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.
