Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
assuming the random icon generation could be used by modders?
would love to see random icons like that for all of bob's and angels' ores

Love the new icons!
Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
I see one artifact in that image that would want to be fixed, on the curve from going up to going left it looks like it chooses new random icons.
Otherwise, I think that looks beautiful. Love it.

It will definitely be declared stable when the bug report forum is free of any pests. I don't think anyone is willing to give you a more detailed answer.

Is it just me, or when the ore goes on a bend to the right, there's a bit of a glitch in the appearance where the bend goes into the straight?

Belts look fantastic with randomized resources!

The uranium icons have an uncanny tendency to be too either too sharp or too blurred for my taste. The other resources looks really nice.

I'm surprised integers weren't used for inserters, and anything else that shouldn't accumulate error.

Downward facing underground belt exit seems on the wrong layer

I used to do game logic with integers only for a previous job and it was a pain. It's a huge game design limitation that is not worth it.
Avoiding floating point problems is not a big deal.

Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
Hi,
Love the new resources on the belt. Feels much more natural and fun to look at after awhile.
Since you're asking for our help on thoughts..
On the gif, after the turn of the belt, it seems the resource converts to a different random resource after the bend, creating a tear. Could that be smoothed out?
Thank you!

Love the look of the new ores.
Hopefully modders can use this for other kinds of resource icon as well? I already have 300+ new icons ready on a big project which includes ore "gravels" and other pre-smelting ore products which would benefit from looking a little randomised. There are also some very common items which spend a lot of screen time on belts - plates and stacked plates come to mind.
How does it work for inventory stacks - presumably there's still a "default" icon which gets used in crafting tabs etc.?

Do you think you could make different ores of different grain? That would make them even more distinct. In the current version iron and uranium look like the same thing of different colour, despite you using different pictograms for them. Having, say, iron, a finer grain would really distinguish its look.

We are past stable, only a little more squashing until we reach "kovarex-stable"

Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
That video at the end looks amazing! Like a real life ore belt - can't wait to see a huge smelting set up with these textures...

Re: Friday Facts #297 - New resource icons
They look really good. I didn't even realize that the uniform resource icons could be improved on.
