I have tried searching for it and tried dissecting other mods that add liquids, but one issue remains; how do I make the graphic for it? Not the icon, I mean color the liquid a specific color? I can't find where that info is or where it is on the liquids lua file.

Here's an example of one of the existing liquids, they are all defined in data.raw.fluid

Note the base_color and flow_color properties:

Code: Select all

    {
      base_color = {
        b = 0,
        g = 0,
        r = 0
      },
      default_temperature = 25,
      flow_color = {
        b = 0.5,
        g = 0.5,
        r = 0.5
      },
      flow_to_energy_ratio = 0.59,
      heat_capacity = "1KJ",
      icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/crude-oil.png",
      max_temperature = 100,
      name = "crude-oil",
      order = "a[fluid]-b[crude-oil]",
      pressure_to_speed_ratio = 0.4,
      type = "fluid"
    },

So you'll need to make a table like that for your fluid, obviously with custom name, then

Code: Select all

data:extend{ your_liquid_table }

For example:

Code: Select all

data:extend {
    {
      base_color = {
        b = 0,
        g = 0,
        r = 0
      },
      default_temperature = 25,
      flow_color = {
        b = 0.5,
        g = 0.5,
        r = 0.5
      },
      flow_to_energy_ratio = 0.59,
      heat_capacity = "1KJ",
      icon = "__YourModName__/graphics/icons/fluid/your-liquid-name-here.png",
      max_temperature = 100,
      name = "your-liquid-name-here",
      order = "a[fluid]-b[crude-oil]",
      pressure_to_speed_ratio = 0.4,
      type = "fluid"
    },
}
