Steam Locomotive mod (Graphics are done) (Edit: and now an alpha version of the mod.)

Post by AlveKatt »

I have made the graphics for a steam locomotive.

I have put them in game by replacing the sprite sheet. (See screenshot. Possibly not the final render of the locomotive though. Might fiddle more with the colours and textures.) But would anyone be willing to help me code it in as an actual mod?

You can use this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fluidTrains
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/steamTrains

It provides all what you need, but I cannot understand how define new one.

I guess I need to look at modding tutorials. Doing a new improved render right now.

Would still love to cooperate with someone who actually knows how to code mods for Factorio. There seems to be so many script files involved, and it feels daunting to figure out what affects what.

You can ask the mod author for his help.

Can you make the tender for it?

Thank you. I posted a question on the mods page.

The design has the back part, it's kind of built in. Also, I think a Tender would look weird since it really isn't open at the back that way.
I have toyed with the thought of making a prettier wagon. I just can't think of a good use for it. A turret wagon might be fun. But that's a whole other can of worms, and there already is the armored trains mod, if it's still compatible. Might be a good idea to make a new base graphic for that though, it isn't made with the weird stretchy trains workaround they had to make in Factorio.

I rerendered the locomotive with some adjusted shaders to try an make it look less flat. Not sure if I succeeded.
