Is there a .lua file somewhere that defines the fact that boilers and heat exchangers produce steam? It didn't seem to be in recipes.lua, which I guess makes sense, since it's not really a recipe.

I'm specifically looking for the file because I'm processing the files with an external tool (as opposed to an in-game mod).

Thanks!

Also same question re: nuclear reactors producing used-up-uranium-fuel-cells.

Ah cool, thanks, that was helpful. Found "output_fluid_box" for the boiler in entity/entities.lua.

And I ended up finally finding the reactor output in item.lua; it's not associated with the reactor, it's just defined as the "burnt" result for uranium fuel cells and the reactors are just burners in disguise.
