Failed to create entity 'speech-bubble'

I use the following codes to create the 'speech-bubble' entity, and game crashed saying unknown entity name 'speech-bubble'.
It would not crash if I replace 'speech-bubble' with 'flying-text'.
Code: Select all
entity.surface.create_entity {
name = 'speech-bubble',
position = {x = entity.position.x, y = entity.position.y + 1},
text = entity.energy .. 'J',
lifetime = 10
}

This isn't a bug, there is no entity called 'speech-bubble', try 'compi-speech-bubble'

The api doc says there is 'speech-bubble',
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ate_entity
The game changelog says:
- Added "speech-bubble" entity.

"speech-bubble" isn't the name of a prototyped entity, it is the entity
type. create_entity expects a named prototype that was set up in the data stage.

My bad, got it, thanks.
