Generating electricity from a fluid other than steam?

I wanted to use generator entity type for that but turns out it only works with steam. Can I do it without scripting or is a script the only option here?

Factorio\data\base\prototypes\entity\demo-entities.lua
Prototype of "steam-engine":
Code: Select all
fluid_box =
{
base_area = 1,
height = 2,
base_level = -1,
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
pipe_connections =
{
{ type = "input-output", position = {0, 3} },
{ type = "input-output", position = {0, -3} },
},
production_type = "input-output",
filter = "steam",
minimum_temperature = 100.0
}
Just add your own prototype with another filter here.

Thanks, I thought I had done just that, but turns out it wasn't the case.
