And conversely, I would like to deprecate a version of my mod for 0.18 because I have a successor mod, but there's no issue with 0.17 and no successor mod for 0.17, so that version doesn't need to be deprecated.

I was actually thinking of making this thread myself, haha.

You have a... thief? https://mods.factorio.com/user/robocafterlp I'm not sure what he's doing. The first mod seems to just be a duplicate, the second one adds a bit to create loaders for https://mods.factorio.com/mod/UltimateBelts_Owoshima_And_Pankeko-Mod. Don't know if you care or not, given the li...

Not sure if this is intended design, given that the belt remnants for transport-belts and splitters are bright and vibrant:

1) dumb question, what does 0.18 do to make structure_patch work? You may have to hand-edit sprites to be compatible. 2) table.insert inserts a table into the first numbered position which is nil, starting at 1. It inserts at position #table + 1 if there's numbered entries (# gets the number of ele...

So new in 0.18 is the splitter property "structure_patch", which for whatever reason is not on the wiki yet. I'm trying to update my mod that reskins Bob's basic splitter, only he hasn't chosen to implement structure_patch (which would involve using the new sprites from 0.18, where they sp...

In 0.17, the structure_render_layer type in the loader prototype was set to default to the "transport-belt-circuit-connector" render layer. In 0.18, this is no longer correct, with the apparent changes to the render layer for the Underground Belt and Splitters: Current behavior in 0.18: ht...

Where is that tool for modders to apply the color corrections and the like to our sprites? Edit: For anyone else: https://github.com/wube/factorio-LUT-tool New question: This is just a case of the colors are changed once, yes? I use color masks to match existing base assets, so I just need to tweak ...

In an early patch the option to change the default render layer for the loader was added , specifically because rendering on the transport-belt layer causes this issue: https://i.imgur.com/ZlZwiZS.png I had been rendering on the same level as underground belts, which I was told was transport-belt-c...

In reference to this modding interface request , added in 0.17.65. I have the following issue when trying to implement back_patch and front_patch in my mod Vanilla Loaders HD: https://i.imgur.com/RfgKEPy.png I have the exact same images, exact same code as the vanilla Underground belt: https://imgur...

Im confused. What are you trying to do with loaders? Remove? Integrate? Change? They will be removed from the introduction campaign If we're removing loaders from the NPE, does this mean they won't receive official graphics, and so we can do this now? :D https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=...

Hm. Interesting. Thanks for the info, though!

The underground belt prototype has optional structure properties "back_patch" and "front_patch". I request that these two optional properties be added to the loader prototype as well, so that we can replicate the graphical style properly with the new belts. https://i.imgur.com/hz...

https://i.imgur.com/OsvapAE.png The underground belt in 0.17 has a front_patch and back_patch property that helps with the layering around items and other structures. I'd like to request this property be applied to the loader as well, so that I can make 0.17-vanilla-style sprites as well. Currently...

Wooden chest appears on top of Underground belt, splitters.

TL;DR Implement support for back_patch and front_patch property from underground-belt entity in loader entity. What ? https://i.imgur.com/OsvapAE.png The underground belt in 0.17 has a front_patch and back_patch property that helps with the layering around items and other structures. I'd like to re...

In 0.17 the vanilla underground belt sprite is composed of several layers, the main sprite and then the top flange is a background layer that renders beneath the belt and items on the belt: https://i.imgur.com/FawNff9.png top: vanilla underground belt; bottom: vanilla-style loader How do I add this ...

For clarity I've removed the first image (since it's a WIP sprite and is confusing the issue). The vanilla underground belt renders on top of whatever modded sprite is added to the vanilla loader entity. Edit: Here's an image that perhaps is more clear: https://i.imgur.com/gSdDvpN.png In this case, ...

Caveat: The loader item is being skinned by a mod, and so the vanilla/native experience doesn't have this issue (since the loader isn't even enabled) However, I'm not sure if this is something that I can fix with lua, or if the issue is deeper, or what: https://i.imgur.com/JTWIniS.png The undergroun...

Low resolution sprites:


There's an alignment issue with the belt graphics. The issue is not present at high resolution.

Also, the underground basic belt is using the regular transport belt graphics:

https://i.imgur.com/ye1S9bk.png I don't suppose you have an idea what's causing this? The loader is detecting belts placed on the back end and spawning graphics for it. Actually, on playing around with it, it's definitely related to the snap logic. https://i.imgur.com/d8FD0kw.png When I toggle off ...
