Enumerations & Constants

Built-in enumerations

Game enumerations are exposed via names and numeric codes under ic.enums. Each table maps name → integer value (for use with ic.read(), ic.write(), and batch helpers).

local LT  = ic.enums.LogicType         -- On, Off, Temperature, Pressure, ...
local LST = ic.enums.LogicSlotType      -- Occupied, Quantity, Charge, ...
local LBM = ic.enums.LogicBatchMethod   -- Average, Sum, Minimum, Maximum
local LRM = ic.enums.LogicReagentMode   -- TotalContents, ...

LogicType (commonly used values)

Name	Description
On	Device power state (0/1)
Open	Door/vent open state
Temperature	Temperature in Kelvin
Pressure	Pressure in kPa
Setting	Generic setting value
Mode	Device operating mode
Activate	Sensor activation state
Charge	Battery charge (Joules)
Maximum	Battery max charge
Ratio	Generic ratio (0-1)
Power	Power draw (Watts)
Vertical	Vertical angle
Horizontal	Horizontal angle
Color	Paint color index
Error	Error flag
PrefabHash	Device prefab hash
Channel0–Channel7	Data network channels
RatioOxygen	O₂ gas ratio
RatioCarbonDioxide	CO₂ gas ratio
RatioNitrogen	N₂ gas ratio
RatioPollutant	Pollutant gas ratio
RatioMethane	Methane gas ratio (older scripts may still say RatioVolatiles)
RatioWater	H₂O gas ratio
RatioNitrousOxide	N₂O gas ratio
RatioHydrogen	H₂ gas ratio
RatioSteam	Steam ratio
RatioPollutedWater	Polluted water ratio
RatioHydrazine	Hydrazine ratio
RatioLiquidAlcohol	Ethanol ratio
RatioHelium	Helium ratio
RatioSilanol	Silanol/Coolant ratio
RatioHydrochloricAcid	HCl ratio
RatioOzone	Ozone ratio
RatioLiquidOzone	Liquid ozone ratio

More ratio names (liquids and pipes)

Analysers, tanks, and many pipe machines expose molar ratios as separate names. Gases use names like RatioOxygen; liquids use RatioLiquid… (for example liquid methane is RatioLiquidMethane). Machines with multiple ports often add Input, Input2, Output, and Output2 suffixes for the same substance.

Typical liquid ratio names you can use with ic.read() / ic.write():

Substance (liquid form)	Ratio name
Liquid nitrogen	RatioLiquidNitrogen
Liquid oxygen	RatioLiquidOxygen
Liquid methane	RatioLiquidMethane
Liquid CO₂	RatioLiquidCarbonDioxide
Liquid pollutant	RatioLiquidPollutant
Liquid nitrous oxide	RatioLiquidNitrousOxide
Liquid hydrogen	RatioLiquidHydrogen
Liquid hydrazine	RatioLiquidHydrazine
Liquid silanol	RatioLiquidSilanol
Liquid hydrochloric acid	RatioLiquidHydrochloricAcid
Liquid ozone	RatioLiquidOzone

You can use the optional gas library (Examples/LibraryModule_Gas.lua): it maps gas.TYPE flags to the right ratio name for each substance.

LogicBatchMethod

Name	Description
Average	Average of all matching values
Sum	Sum of all matching values
Minimum	Smallest value
Maximum	Largest value

LogicSlotType (commonly used)

Name	Description
Occupied	Whether the slot has an item (0/1)
Quantity	Stack count in slot
Charge	Charge level of item in slot
MaxQuantity	Max stack size
PrefabHash	Prefab hash of item in slot

Constants

Constants are under ic.const:

local DB = ic.const.BASE_UNIT_INDEX      -- Housing device index (typically 6)
local BN = ic.const.BASE_NETWORK_INDEX   -- Base network index

BASE_UNIT_INDEX

This is the device index for the IC Housing itself (equivalent to db in IC10). Use it to read/write the housing's own logic values:

-- Write a value to the housing's Setting display
ic.write(ic.const.BASE_UNIT_INDEX, LT.Setting, 42)

-- Read the housing's power state
local powered = ic.read(ic.const.BASE_UNIT_INDEX, LT.On)

Using Enums

local LT = ic.enums.LogicType

-- Use enum names for readable code
print(LT.Temperature)  -- prints the integer value
print(LT.On)           -- prints the integer value

-- Compare with enum values
local temp = ic.read(0, LT.Temperature)
