Never mind, I derped with maths. The speed of the animation is exactly (crafting_speed*animation_speed), at least for furnaces.

If you want to re-use animations across different entities but keep them all at the same speed of 60 frames per second, set the animation_speed to 1/crafting_speed.

Most machines with a crafting speed > 1 seem to play their animations faster - both the main sprite and any working_animations. This can "waste" frames of your animation if you have multiple tiers of the same machine and the slowest is speed 1. (If the slowest is less than speed 1, it does...

The undrground belts work as intended, their internal orientation is determined by the build order. I kind-of fixed loaders. Now they will have the correct build rotation but their internal orientation will still be wrong. I wont spend more time on it since it's not a base game feature. Much oblige...

i personally felt something similar after my first play though and rocket launch back in 14, since then ive gone to mods to meet the requirements you talk about, and making my own starter maps, etc. 1. Vanilla 2. Mods 3. Own mods In a nutshell. Is the game not perfectly to your liking? Do something...

Prove it.

Compact Loaders version: 1.2.7
Date: 06. 03. 2018
Changes:
- Snapping settings are now per-player instead of at start-up, to enable individual preferences in MP.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work. I saw that the sprite sheet is ... odd.

I was thinking of tackling this myself, in Blender, so I could make wooden belts, copper-textured belts etc. Can I ask how you tackled this?

I have no clue, ask Wube.

It's odd that with snapping if a container is present you modify the loader no matter how it is placed. If its facing the container you do something, if it is not facing the container you still do something. Purely personal preference. I don't like loaders being in output mode by default when you p...

Could be, but they're going into a Creative Mode matter void, same as the yellow and blue ... Is it possible that red wouldn't be "deleted" fast enough but blue is fine?

Edited to add: you're right. The void on the end of a red belt isn't keeping up. Sorry, false alarm

Barely a bug really and I only noticed it when messing with translucent items but yeah, items on red belts don't move in sync with the belt. Yellow and blue belts are fine

Season 3, episode 16, "The Offspring"

I wasn't talking about Q+click. That one is broken too and probably explains why bluebuild gets loaders turned around. It must do some Q+click internally to place the ghost. If it's using the same function as the hotkey they both get bad data. No, it doesn't. It revives ghosts. I've been through th...

Meanwhile

Last I did another test. I blueprinted the loaders and then tried placing them manually. When doing this with underground belts before the placement it shows the belt flowing in the same direction as the ghost and after placement that is the case. So one actually places the ghost. Not so with loade...

Deadlock's Compact Loaders 1.2.6
Date: 02. 03. 2018
Inter-mod support:
- Look for "revive" flag passed by Nanobots in on_entity_built and cancel snapping.

As for using on_robot_built_entity instead, that's not a perfect solution either. Some mods likely assume that if on_robot_built_entity is raised, there is an actual construction-robot entity around, referenced by the robot parameter. No matter what you do, somebody will be surprised since automate...
