1.0.0 version is up

I made a workaround for the platform generation problem by using vanilla resource generation and a dummy resource that is replace by tile at runtime. It may not be optimized but it works.

19-09-2020 - 1.2.0 (for 1.0.0) (no commit) :

• Make change to be compatible with factorio 1.0.0
• Fix base game concrete tile not being used as a template if it exists.
• Now use stone-path instead of concrete to define the tile.
• Now require base game stone path to be present. Will not load if not present.
• Temporary removed ability to set a custom picture when defining custom platform tile
• Added ability to set the tint when defining custom platform tile.
• Platforms tile are now tinted stone path.
• Removed platform graphics and old platform graphics as they are incompatible with new tile definition.
• Removed mod option to choose platform graphic.
• Added custom invisible resource "dummy platform" if normal generation is selected in options.
• Normal platform generation now use custom vanilla like resource generation (via the dummy platform).
• Dummy platform are replaced by normal platform tile when chunk are generated.
• Add factorio compatible changelog.

Sadly I had no choice but to remove platform graphics and use a tinted vanilla stone path. I don't have the tools nor the time to make a proper graphic. I may add the ability to change the tint in the option in a future release. Known problem : transition between platform and stone path can be weird.

Vanilla resource have priority over platform so it can "eat" them. I may add an option to choose if resources have priority or if platform have in a future release.

During world generation screen there is two slider, the first control how further apart platforms are and the second how big they are.

Version 1.1 is in beta stage, mod updated as it need to be (they changed some layer name and open new one)

• Now use custom layer 55 to 46 instead of 15 to 10.

17-12-2020 - 1.2.2 (for 1.0) and 1.3.0 (for 1.1) (no commit) :
