Greetings,

Running the following command works as-expected for pipes, storage tanks, and other machines with fluidboxes.

/c game.print(game.player.selected.fluidbox.get_fluid_segment_id(1))

However it fails when running the game command on an assembling prototype. No matter what it always returns

nil

Does the assembler have a recipe set? IIRC the fluidbox doesn't get activated and connected until the recipe demands it.

Yes. The recipe is set to "advanced oil processing"

This is not a bug. It doesn't return an ID for the assembling machine because the assembling machine's fluid boxes aren't part of a segment.

[2.0.16] LuaEntity.get_fluid_segment_id does not work for assembling machines.
