Properties

category :: ModuleCategoryID

Used when upgrading modules: Ctrl + click modules into an entity and it will replace lower tier modules of the same category with higher tier modules.

tier :: uint32

Tier of the module inside its category. Used when upgrading modules: Ctrl + click modules into an entity and it will replace lower tier modules with higher tier modules if they have the same category.

effect :: Effect

requires_beacon_alt_mode :: bool optional

Default: true

limitation :: array[RecipeID] optional

Array of recipe names this module can be used on. If empty, the module can be used on all recipes.

limitation_blacklist :: array[RecipeID] optional

Array of recipe names this module can not be used on, implicitly allowing its use on all other recipes. This property has no effect if set to an empty table.

Note that the game converts this into a normal list of limitations internally, so reading LuaItemPrototype::limitations at runtime will be the product of both ways of defining limitations.

limitation_message_key :: string optional

The locale key of the message that is shown when the player attempts to use the module on a recipe it can't be used on. The locale key will be prefixed with item-limitation. (the "category" of the locale) by the game.

art_style :: string optional

Chooses with what art style the module is shown inside beacons. See BeaconModuleVisualizations::art_style. Vanilla uses "vanilla" here.
