Hello, I suggest adding the field "energy_source" to the prototypes: "transport-belt" "underground-belt","splitter","loader"

This will help modders add new tasks to the game to provide logistics systems with electricity, without big performance problems, as there are now

Thanks!

I completely agree with this idea!

This is never happening. To add energy source support means making a given entity updatable which isn’t happening for belts. Loaders already are updatable and it was added in 2.0.

It's sad. It would have allowed to add a bit more realism to the game.

You wrote that the main reason for the refusal is that "transport-belt", "underground-belt" and "splitter" are not updatable entities.

Please tell me, is it possible to make a request to make the entities "transport-belt", "underground-belt" and "splitter" updatable and assign the "energy_source" parameter to their prototypes?

Thanks!
