It occurs to me that the problem might be some perspective correction in the game. I suspect that these sprites would line up with their direction of travel if I compressed them all by some amount in the vertical direction (a poor man's perspective transform).

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/download/file.php?id=773 This is the sprite sheet I am using. The sprites are consistently rotated 5.625 degrees each. Traveling N/S/E/W looks fine. However, when the sprite is pointing NW/SW/SE/NE it actually travels in a direction that is a bit more horizontal th...

Great! Is there a reference for what order the layers stack in, for rendering?

deleting crop-cache.dat resolved the problem

I tried it with your spritesheet and the code for the entity you supplied and it all works fine. I have the raft in the game with the provisional sprites. I didn't really change anything, just added an item for the raft so I can place it easily. Could you try to delete your crop cache file (crop-ca...

A) You're the 57th person to start a new thread about this.

B) Try my mod: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=2716

I am also working on a mod for this, but my replacement sprites don't work at all I've put in a bug report for it.

OK. I'll just hope for more advanced pickup location options in the future.

Here is the whole entity. It is literally a copy of the car entity with the name/images changed. If I use the car's pictures then it works fine. If I use my own pictures section then everything works except the sprites are invisible. { type = "car", name = "raft", icon = "__...

The graphics are the slowest part of those games. The graphics are NOT the slowest part of Factorio. The simulation in factorio is much more CPU intensive than any of those other games.

Even if this isn't supposed to work, it's still a bug that the user is not informed of why the game is broken. At the very least, there should be a dialog that says "update process interrupted due to change in file XXX".

I am trying to make a type="car" entity and use the attached sprite sheet. I have made an exact copy of the "car" entity and changed only the pictures attribute as follows: pictures = { filename = "__im-on-a-boat__/graphics/entity/raft-sheet.png", line_length = 8, frame...

Agreed, having language-specific forums only splits the community. Do you mean this about having different forum websites, or about having language specific sub-forums on the same site? Here is a forum that is 90% german, 10% other languages, and it works well to have language sub-forums on the sam...

And it's flagged as advanced-manufacturing, which prevents assembly by hand, I think? Good question. I'm gonna fall back on it not being ready.

PS: 0.9.2 has an item entry for small-plane but no entity entry for small-plane, so planes might not work yet?

Assembling Machine 2 has 4 slots, that should be enough.

This appears to be a deficiency in __core__/locale/en/controls.cfg

I, too, prefer the old behavior. I made a feature request to make things behind the alt icon more visible, but this is not what I had in mind.

I am sad to report that the mod doesn't quite work with 0.9.2, it makes my game crash when I try to load a game, even a newly generated and just saved/loaded right at the start. I have no clue about what does that, so I can't help fixing it, and that's sad, because it was a very decent mod, when pl...

They are bright pink squares on the mini map. I think that if you are using a save from before 0.9 that you'll have to explore new chunks of the map for them to get generated.
