[request] Prospector mod prospectors and drills

Post by Mylon »

This is for my mod Prospector, here: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Mylon/Prospector

I'd love to have a custom graphics for higher tier drills (even something as simple as icon to help differentiate it in the item list, I'm working on seeing if a recolor can change the graphics) but I also need a custom graphic for the prospector which locates deeper ores to mine. Right now I'm using the radar. I would also like a fracker graphic that works like the radar (buffs nearby oil deposits).

I would very much appreciate any contributions on this.

Something like this? 2x2 tiles, shift by y is around 1.5.

I was thinking maybe something like a big giant auger. Like this: http://www.starindustries.com/Auger_files/Auger2011.jpg
Though something like this would be cool too: http://earthfirstjournal.org/newswire/w ... avator.jpg

I was thinking about hydraulic fracturing

OK, what size do you need?

Oh, I'm not even sure what a hydraulic fracturer would look like. I was thinking 3x3 for simplicity.

Holy crap, is that thing real!? Suddenly I want a giant saw blade I can install on the car to mow down forests.

Anyway, something like an oil rig would look good, mod sounds very interesting by the way.

The mod is more or less 'done'. It's playable but not very pretty due to lack of graphics.
