Runtime object type

INI reference EnumsRTTIType

Engine object-kind tokens accepted by INI settings such as `Factory=`.

Engine enum: RTTIType
Input form: Named token

These are engine object kinds, not identifiers a rules file defines. A Factory assignment says which kind of object a structure turns out rather than naming the particular vehicle, structure or other definition, and that page covers which of the kinds put a structure to work at all.

Most of the list never appears in an assignment at all. A kind is what the engine stamps on every live object and every definition so that the two can be told apart while the game runs, which is why so many of the names come in pairs: Building for a structure standing on the map against BuildingType for the rules entry it was made from. The rest name machinery no rules file can refer to — a cell, a production line, the record a fogged cell keeps of what stood in it, the tunnel route joining one tunnel mouth to another. A name matching nothing in the list resolves to <none> rather than leaving the stored value alone, so a misspelling is read as naming no kind.
