New info: Removing all the robot bays from the map+undecorator mod "fixed" the issue. It's not a proper fix, but just letting you know that it may be because of some bad robots .

I know *why* creators did it this way, that's why this is a MOD idea and not me suggesting Factorio to have such thing by default. But thank you for your input. Also, if I would be able to actually draw and not making MS Paint-quality (since I'm actually using other art program) doodles, then I'd ...

Minecraft texture packs are sets of squares with different patterns mostly converted from real life images, aren't they?
So are terrain tilesets. And not only squares. There are also item icons which have their Factorio equivalent as well. I'd argue making a Factorio graphics pack would be even ...
