I recently made a video about it:

Very nice!
You can also use this spritesheet tool: viewtopic.php?p=335708#p335708
It crops the empty alpha from sprites.

A really simple request: a mod that adds a lighthouse. It provides long distance lighting, similar shape to the cones from vehicle or player flashlights, and it rotates. Perhaps adjustable rotation speed or light colour using circuit network? I thought it would be a neat addition to Factorio, given...

really light graphics for potato-computers. Wrong. Repeating for the third time in this thread because it's so important: PNG filesize has no effect whatsoever on FPS or VRAM usage. FPS/VRAM is soley dependant on image resolution. What if you have only last 500 MB free space on your computer?

Just sharpened Entity, Technology, Decorative and Terrain HD textures with photoshop.

Nice tutorial! I am using this pingo script: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=250171#p250171 I find it so helpful, that I have it in the my signature here about few years. I am using the "good" version, but for low quality graphics (can be used) the "best" version, you...

The data table is destroyed? Curious how you know that. Any links / code describing that process?

You are need the control stage and some entity like a lamp, that can read signals from wires.
Read signals from that lamp, write it to your chest as item request.

It's impossible to make the offshore pump with burner (or any) energy source. But you can use some tricks:

Modding: 1. You can flush steam from steam engine; 2. or cool down the steam inside of it; 3. built-in power pole and electric energy interface with tertiary consumption priority; 4. built-in infinity pipe, that takes all / half steam; 5. the player must use "terminator" on the end of stea...

Just a short question. Is it possible to add a prototype definition to a prototype like energy-usage to a belt? Or do I have to create a ElectricEnergyInterface that is placed on the same position of the original entity, so that there are two entities placed. See mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/...

I don't understand the request. Pollution is a simple value per chunk; we don't store any other information than that. The water coloring is done purely in a shader based off those values. The original mod Smog Visual Pollution also uses just values per chunk. All users ask better graphics, the edg...

infinite research to increase equipment slots in the spider.

Not infinite, but two or three updates for grid size. Just like by the player's armor.

Hi devs! Here is the water pollution layer, that changes the color of water. Please see screenshot: 2021-01-24T22_51_18-Factorio 1.1.15.jpg I've made a mod, that makes pollution isolines. Of course, I want to make isobands too. I am not happy with my isolines right now. Is it possible to read vanill...

+1 for multiple ways to define polygons.

Can't you just set those graphics to the empty sprite?

I don't know why I need empty sprites for it.

If so, is there some example code which I can use as starting point ?

Maybe Linked Belts?
You can connect them with the selection tool or just by placing connect the second linked belt to first one.
