[15.35] auto-cropping of beam sprites makes them misalign

As discussed in
this thread, the automatic cropping of beam sprites causes head, body and tail to misalign, due to changing the rotation center.

Thanks for the report.
Use
in the sprite/animation definition. See for example "defender-capsule"

Ah thanks, the distractor-robots lightning beam uses the same workaround though.

It would be pretty awesome is this kind of barely-known flag and some off the other oddities of prototype definitions were as well documented as the rest of the
http://lua-api.factorio.com/ . Google finds only one thread (another bug report) that even mentiones "no-crop" at all.

That documentation is about the control stage, not the data stage, sadly. For a barebones documentation of the data stage (prototypes etc) see the wiki:
https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype_definitions . That's also where I'll add the flag. The prototpyes currently cannot be automatically documented from the game code, which is why there is no good documentation. I already annoyed Rseding by asking for it over and over
