ElemID EmptySlotInfo EnemyEvolutionMapSettings These values represent a percentual increase in evolution. This means a value of 0.1 would increase evolution by 10%. EnemyExpansionMapSettings Candidate chunks are given scores to determine which one of them should be expanded into. This score takes into account various settings noted below. The iteration is over a square region centered around the chunk for which the calculation is done, and includes the central chunk as well. Distances are calculated as Euclidean distance .

MapDifficultySettings MapExchangeStringData The data that can be extracted from a map exchange string, as a plain table. MapGenPreset MapGenSettings When reading MapGenSettings, all properties will always be present, but they can be omitted when writing. MapLocation MapPosition Coordinates on a surface, for example of an entity. MapPositions may be specified either as a dictionary with x, y as keys, or simply as an array with two elements. MapViewSettings What is shown in the map view. If a field is not given, that setting will not be changed.

See utility-constants.lua for the values used by the base game. Vector A vector is a two-element array or dictionary containing the x and y components. The game will always provide the array format. Positive x goes east, positive y goes south. Vector3D Reading this always returns the table with the named keys.
