v0.6:

version == 1

global :: {
    version :: "Global table version, for easier migration code" int,
    is_ticking :: bool,
    tracked_robots[unit_number :: int] :: "Dictionary of all the robots that have placed or destroyed an entity, and should therefore be consumed" {
        robot :: LuaEntity (type == 'construction-robot'),
        no_destruction_before_tick :: "prevents destruction of robot in the same tick that a related event fires, for mod compatibility" int
        cargo_inventory :: LuaInventory
        repair_inventory :: LuaInventory
    }
}

    },
    tracked_robots_count :: int,
    tracked_robots[unit_number :: int] :: {
        robot :: LuaEntity (type == 'construction-robot'),
        player :: LuaPlayer,
        cargo_inventory :: LuaInventory
    },
    robots_pending_destruction[] :: LuaEnity (type == 'construction-robot'),
    is_ticking :: bool,
