Adding Tiles

[VirBinarus]

Hello, I'm relatively new to modding factorio. I'm trying to add another tile, to act like concrete, but is not craftable or destroyable.

mod_name\prototypes\tile\tile.lua:

Code: Select all

data:extend(
  {
    {
      type = "tile",
      name = "New-Concrete-path",
      needs_correction = false,
      minable = {hardness = 0.2, mining_time = 0.5, result = "concrete"},
      mined_sound = { filename = "__base__/sound/deconstruct-bricks.ogg" },
      collision_mask = {"ground-tile"},
      walking_speed_modifier = 1.4,
      layer = 62,
      decorative_removal_probability = 0.9,
      variants =
      {
        main =
        {
          {
            picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete1.png",
            count = 16,
            size = 1
          },
          {
            picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete2.png",
            count = 4,
            size = 2,
            probability = 0.39,
          },
          {
            picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete4.png",
            count = 4,
            size = 4,
            probability = 1,
          },
        },
        inner_corner =
        {
          picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete-inner-corner.png",
          count = 8
        },
        outer_corner =
        {
          picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete-outer-corner.png",
          count = 8
        },
        side =
        {
          picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete-side.png",
          count = 8
        },
        u_transition =
        {
          picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete-u.png",
          count = 8
        },
        o_transition =
        {
          picture = "__base__/graphics/terrain/concrete/concrete-o.png",
          count = 1
        }
      },
      walking_sound =
      {
        {
          filename = "__base__/sound/walking/concrete-01.ogg",
          volume = 1.2
        },
        {
          filename = "__base__/sound/walking/concrete-02.ogg",
          volume = 1.2
        },
        {
          filename = "__base__/sound/walking/concrete-03.ogg",
          volume = 1.2
        },
        {
          filename = "__base__/sound/walking/concrete-04.ogg",
          volume = 1.2
        }
      },
      map_color={r=200, g=200, b=200},
      ageing=0,
      vehicle_friction_modifier = concrete_vehicle_speed_modifier
    }
  })

For testing purposes, I am still using the concrete texture, and sounds etc. When I went on to factorio, and opened up the map editor however, there was no second concrete icon there. any help?

EDIT: Just in case it wasn't clear, that is pretty much ALL I've done with this mod (except for info.json) so I bet I probrably missed something out there.

You have defined the "tile" that is already on the ground, you need also to create the actual "item" that is held in hand, which has to have a special flag so it can be placed on the ground as a tile.

I'm not trying to make something that the player can place in-game, I'm just making a tile, like sand for instance, that I can paint with in the map editor (like below). I don't need it ever held in hand.

you need a data.lua to define what to require, which is just literally

Code: Select all

require prototypes\tile\tile
