Hi all,

Currently working on a simple (my first) mod which adds geothermal vents that can be 'pumped' for steam, like the crude oil resource. I have a 'geothermal pump' which mines the 'deposit' and all the autoplace controls are working fine. My only issue is this:

The steam extracted from my geothermal vents is 15C, which is not high enough to power a steam engine like I want it to. How do I change the output temperature of the steam, if possible?

I thought of making a new fluid identical in every way to steam with a higher default_temperature or just changing the default temperature for steam but I'd rather not make a new fluid.

Thank!

You should be able to specify the temperature of the result in the https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/MinableProperties part of the resource entity prototype, though I haven't done it myself before.

Yes this worked, thank you! I had it in the main part of the prototype and not the minable properties.
