The new electric mining drill is not using its integration_patch graphics. The images are there, but the code is missing.

Same for me on Fedora 27 0.16.16 works fine

Changes like these always take a little time to get used to, after looking at the old textures for so long. I like it though.

I think the completely black parts of the texture make it look a bit too harsh and bumpy.
That could maybe be toned down a bit.

Ah thanks, the distractor-robots lightning beam uses the same workaround though.

As discussed in this thread, the automatic cropping of beam sprites causes head, body and tail to misalign, due to changing the rotation center.

That's true but it's more of a prove of concept at this point. I'm not even sure that i like it better than Klonan's version.
And it creates problems like the attack speed research and broken damage tooltips.

Your text files have some weird formatting issues. Factorio seems to be only able to read them while they're inside a zip file. I'm on Linux, so the file uses Unix newline LF instead of CRLF. That might be the problem. I guess that factorio's internal decompression handles it correctly. So the corr...

I reused the code and image dimensions of the destroyer-robot's beam and just changed the images and frame count. data:extend({ { type = "beam", name = "laser-beam-turret", flags = {"not-on-map"}, width = 0.5, damage_interval = 1, light = {intensity = 0.5, size = 10}, w...

Right now the tooltip for beam weapons shows shooting-speed and damage-amount. calculating the DPS with DPS = shooting-speed * damage-amount = 60/cooldown * damage-amount only works if damage_interval = duration . This is the case for the destroyer robot. But if we create a beam that does damage mor...

That worked, thanks a lot!

I'm experimenting with continuously firing beam laser turrets.
The laser-turret-speed tech chain doesn't make any sense in this context and creates problems.

I changed the effects to 0 as a workaround, but it's still visible and researchable.
How can i remove that tech chain from the game in a mod?

I might edit the graphics so that the first frames have at least some visibility to them - it may look slightly less pretty, but at least then you could see it as it was mowing down tiny biters. If I did so, Klonan, would you be happy with me posting the changed files here, and anyone else, would y...

I'm posting this here and not as a bug report since it is not really a problem in the base game right now. If you created beam sprites with transparency, the auto-crop feature can crop the head, body and tail sprites differently. This causes the sprites to be misaligned. Let's look at the following ...

An alternative to an additional chest could be the ability to enable/disable provider chests via circuit network. This way you could disable your provider chest based on the contents of the logistics network. As workaround you could set up an inserter to only load the provider chest with a small amo...

The cooldown_modifier in ["ammo"]["atomic-bomb"].ammo_type has no effect.
I tried different values but it always has the same shooting speed as the other rockets.

I want the beam to do 20 damage total, so i set the interval to 1, and duration to 20, However it would do 21 damage right? In the same way i want to do 5 damage, so i set duration to 100, and interval to 20, However it would do 6 damage That's correct, if you also set the beam damage to 1. You wou...

With damage_interval = 20 on the beam and duration = 20 on the destroyer one attack deals damage twice, once at the start and once at the end of the duration, doubling the damage output.

Really nice mod! There's one issue though. With damage_interval = duration = 20 the beam applies the damage twice, at the start of the animation and again at the end, doubling the damage output unintentionally. You can test this with the attached laser gun. It fires the same beam as the laser turret...

I was expecting someone to dislike that one
If you want to disable an icon you don't like, you can simply remove the corresponding line from data.lua

Hi Arumba, the mod is working for me and it shows up in the tooltip as base->8L-Train-Project . I'm using it together with FARL 0.5.20 and RailTanker 1.1.3. However, activating the mod does not update the existing trains correctly. It can even cause the collision boxes to clip into each other, getti...
