Add ability to know max consumption for fusion-reactor (fusion fuel section)

Hello
there is LuaEntityPrototype::get_max_energy_usage(quality?) and for fusion-reactor that return 10MW but there is nothing to know 100MW in Cunsumes Fusion Fuel section

I
think that the 100MW figure is calculated by multiplying
the fusion reactor's fluid property:
max_fluid_usage = 4/second, -- at normal quality
by the
fluid definition for Plasma:
default_temperature = 1000000,
heat_capacity = "25J",
1,000,000 Degrees * 25 Joules * 4 Fluid/second = 100MW output power. Quality Fusion Reactors output more Fluid; Neighboring Fusion reactors increase the Temperature of the Fluid.
Good Luck!

Probably because it consumes electric energy. The API was never made with such entities in mind.

fixed in v2.0.56
because now LuaEntityPrototype::get_fluid_usage_per_tick return value for FusionReactor
Code: Select all
get_fluid_usage_per_tick(quality?) → double?
The fluid usage of this generator or fusion reactor prototype.
Parameters
quality :: QualityID?
Can only be used if this is Generator or FusionReactor
this can be move in "Already exists" section

You mean "Implemented mod requests", since this request predates 2.0.56.
