An entity that extracts resources from the environment.
- classmethod dump_format() dict
Dumps a JSON-serializable representation of the Entity’s
exports
dictionary, primarily for user interpretation.- Returns:
A JSON dictionary containing the names of each valid key, a short description of their purpose, and whether or not they’re considered optional.
- classmethod get_format() str
Produces a pretty string representation of
meth:dump_format
. Work in progress.- Returns:
A formatted string that can be output to stdout or file.
- get_world_bounding_box()
Gets the world-space coordinates AABB that completely encompasses the
collision_set
of this SpatialLike. Behaves similarly to the old function get_area(), except now it correctly handles non-AABB collision shapes.
- get_world_collision_set() CollisionSet
Get’s the world-space coordinate CollisionSet of the object, or the collection of all shapes that this EntityLike interacts with.
- Returns:
A new
CollisionSet
with it’s content’s copied.
- mergable_with(other: Entity) bool
Checks to see if an entity is “mergable” with another entity. This means that if a certain set of criteria is met, the attributes of
other
will be combined to the attributes of this entity. This is useful for mimicking cases where entities of the same name and type are placed on top of each other, merging them together into a single entity with shared attributes.For the full list of all merging rules, see (TODO).
Note
This function does not actually merge the two, it simply checks to see if such a merge is considered valid. To actually merge two entities use
merge()
.- Parameters:
other – The other
EntityLike
to check against.- Returns:
True
if they can be merged,False
otherwise.
- merge(other: Entity) None
Changes the attributes of the calling entity with the attributes of the passed in entity. The attributes of
other
take precedence over the attributes of the calling entity. They can be either copied or merged together, depending on the specific attribute being merged.For the full list of all merging rules, see (TODO).
- Parameters:
other – The other
EntityLike
to merge with.
- on_insert(parent: EntityCollection) None
TODO
- on_remove(parent: EntityCollection) None
TODO
- remove_circuit_condition() None
Removes the circuit condition of the Entity. Does nothing if the Entity has no circuit condition to remove.
- remove_logistic_condition() None
Removes the logistic condition of the Entity. Does nothing if the Entity has no logistic condition to remove.
- set_circuit_condition(a: str | None = None, cmp: str = '<', b: str | int = 0) None
Sets the circuit condition of the Entity.
cmp
can be specified as stored as the single unicode character which is used by Factorio, or you can use the Python formatted 2-character equivalents:# One of: [">", "<", "=", "≥", "≤", "≠"] # Or, alternatively: [">", "<", "==", ">=", "<=", "!="]
If specified in the second format, they are converted to and stored as the first format.
- Parameters:
a – The string name of the first signal.
cmp – The operation to use, as specified above.
b – The string name of the second signal, or some 32-bit constant.
- Raises:
DataFormatError – If
a
is not a valid signal name, ifcmp
is not a valid operation, or ifb
is neither a valid signal name nor a constant.
- set_item_request(item: str, amount: int) None
Requests an amount of an item. Removes the item request if
count
is set to0
orNone
. Managesmodule_slots_occupied
.Raises a number of warnings if the requested item is mismatched for the type of entity you’re requesting items for. For example,
ModuleLimitationWarning
will be raised when requesting an item that is not a module to a Beacon entity.- Parameters:
item – The string name of the requested item.
count – The desired amount of that item.
- Raises:
TypeError – If
item
is anything other than astr
, or ifcount
is anything other than anint
orNone
.InvalidItemError – If
item
is not a valid item name.ValueError – If
count
is less than zero.
- set_item_requests(items: dict) None
Sets all of the item requests for the Entity. Takes
items
as adict
in the format:{item_1: count_1, item_2: count_2, ...}
where
item_x
is astr
andcount_x
is a positive integer.- Parameters:
items – A dictionary of the desired items in the format specified above.
- Raises:
TypeError – If
item_x
is anything other than astr
, or ifcount_x
is anything other than anint
orNone
.InvalidItemError – If
item_x
is not a valid item name.ValueError – If
count_x
is less than zero.
- set_logistic_condition(a: str | None = None, cmp: str = '<', b: str | int = 0) None
Sets the logistic condition of the Entity.
cmp
can be specified as stored as the single unicode character which is used by Factorio, or you can use the Python formatted 2-character equivalents:# One of: [">", "<", "=", "≥", "≤", "≠"] # Or, alternatively: [">", "<", "==", ">=", "<=", "!="]
If specified in the second format, they are converted to and stored as the first format.
- Parameters:
a – The string name of the first signal.
cmp – The operation to use, as specified above.
b – The string name of the second signal, or some 32-bit constant.

DataFormatError – If
a
is not a valid signal name, ifcmp
is not a valid operation, or ifb
is neither a valid signal name nor a constant.
- to_dict() dict
Converts the Entity to its JSON dict representation. The keys returned are determined by the contents of the exports dictionary and their criteria functions.
A attribute from the Entity will be included as a key in the output dict if both of the following conditions are met:
The attribute is in the
exports
dictionaryThe associated criteria function is either not present or returns
True
. This is used to avoid including excess keys, keeping Blueprint string size down.
In addition, a second function may be provided to have a formatting step to alter either the key and/or its value, which gets inserted into the output
dict
.- Returns:
The exported JSON-dict representation of the Entity.

The direction that the Entity is facing. An Entity’s “front” is usually the direction of it’s outputs, if it has any.
For some entities, this attribute may be redundant; for example, the direction value for an

Direction
, or its equivalentint

- property double_grid_aligned: bool
Whether or not this EntityLike is “double-grid-aligned”, which applies to a number of rail entities. Not exported; read only.

Work in progress. May be incorrect, especially for modded entities.
- property global_position: dict
The “global”, or root-most position of the Entity. This value is always equivalent to
position()
, unless the entity exists inside anEntityCollection
. If it does, then it’s global position is equivalent to the sum of all parent positions plus it’s own position. For example, if an Entity exists within aGroup
at position(5, 5)
and theGroup
exists at(5, 5)
, theglobal_position
of the Entity will be(10, 10)
.This is used to get an entity’s “actual” position in a blueprint, used when adding to a
SpatialHashMap
and when querying the entity by region. This attribute is always exported, but renamed to “position”; read only.- Type:
dict{"x": float, "y": float}
Whether or not this Entity is considered “hidden”, as specified in it’s flags in Factorio’s
data.raw
. Not exported; read only.Note
“Hidden” in this context is somewhat unintuitive, as items you might think would be considered hidden may not be. Ship wreckage entities, for example, are not considered “hidden”, even though the only way to access them is with the editor. Keep this in mind when querying this attribute, especially since this discrepancy might be considered a bug later on.

Sets the ID of the entity.

and"y"
keys, or more succinctly as a sequence of floats, usually alist

Whether or not this EntityLike can be rotated. Note that this does not mean that the entity will prevent a blueprint from rotating; more, that this EntityLike does not have a concept of different rotation angles. For example, any
Reactor
entity will always returnrotatable
asFalse
when queried. Not exported; read only.- Type:
