You know I've been considering using some of the things you've posted in my own mods, would you want that? Which things in particular? I dunno, a lot of them look good. I mean, the turrets would probably be a good idea to help make them look more unique between types. A lot of them look like they'd...

You know I've been considering using some of the things you've posted in my own mods, would you want that?

Which things in particular?

what are you plans for Laser turrets, and sniper/plasma turrets which are basically just the gun turret on laser base, or laser turret on gun base? Laser turrets, I'm not sure. Will have to play with that, there's so little to work with there. Sniper turret is going to be fun, I have some nebulous ...

Ah. Guess it's separate colored layers for me then. :c Or actually, what's more performance friendly here? Case 1: Single base-game sprite with all the details, then an image that's only the colored parts laid over it. Case 2: Single colored image. If they're not baked, I'm guessing that Case 2 is m...

Unfortunatelly, it is not possible(*) implement in reasonably efficient way. ... Sorry for getting triggered over your simple request. xD Not a problem. Are sprites that are composited of multiple layers during the startup phase of the game baked? My use case is tinting various sprites during start...

It... does. There's not a lot to work with on the turrets if I want them to be able to be force-masked. :C

I think I'm going to go with this:


It's readable when zoomed all the way out (the gun barrels were not), and sufficiently removed from the color mask to not interfere in a negative way:

I actually liked the barrel tint, more so than the tint on the base. Perhaps because the tint on the base is in contact with the main tinted area, it feels to me like it's colour clashing.

You make an interesting point:

Hmm. https://i.imgur.com/AfthjgE.png All the default colors, plus white, plus the 5 colors I use in photoshop to tint everything in the first place. Looking at that my instinct is to strip out the gun barrel tinting and just tint the planetary gear. Edit: And done: https://i.imgur.com/dHmTUHd.png

Is it possible to add overlay as a supported blending mode under https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/Animation#blend_mode?

Specifically the formula as presented here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes under overlay.

A or B?

A:


B:

I also find it funny how my icons look crisp and clean, but the base game icons look like a blurry mess. especially the uranium, it's just a green splotch. I don't think they've actually made high res icons in most cases, just resized a 32x image to a 64x image with the expectation they'll go back ...

Thoughts? Goal is to support the ability to have player colors while indicating tiers.

I just started a new save after 0.18 was released. And this time I'm doing a bobs mod only run instead of angels + bobs. I also had the mod "nuclear fuel" in my previous run. Then it appeared to me that even though nuclear rocket fuel exists in my current save but there isn't any recipe t...

I lurk this thread, so I'm looking into it.

Edit: Is fixed. The dangers of copy pasting code and then not testing splitters by running items through them...

Bob - Do you have plans to update your ore graphics with the new "randomized" ore icons that the base game gave to Iron/Copper/Stone/etc.? Looks like most of your ores still have the old "flat" icons. no current plans to do anything additional, I already did the random pictures ...

It's also my reksin mod and I'm betting 0.17. Lemme go fix that.
Edit: And fixed. Explicitly defined sizes now; Bob's logistics is using an older version of the splitter graphic. The base game has a newer one for 0.17 with a different resolution and I had used that.

There is no item available to place color concrete, but players will be able to access them in the editor mode. People would appreciate being able to use that in normal gameplay. A mod to unlock them will be released in about 0.12 seconds after the update. Maybe slightly longer, but realistically s...

Hey Angels, per viewtopic.php?p=480799#p480799, your fluid definitions are omitting the crafting_machine_tint property, and as such all Chemical Plant animations are a generic flame color.

I'm actually 99.99% sure this is something Angel's is doing. Because I've spent the last couple days reskinning Bob's chemical plants without Angels, and the colors work just fine, but as a response to this question I turned Angel's back on and they're all just standard flame colors. Edit: I investi...
