How to get old concrete in 0.16

[ekimekim]

I don't know anything about modding, but is there some way to get the old concrete graphics in 0.16? The new concrete looks like stone brick, not a smooth factory floor. The old concrete looked way better.

Wait for the mods... Or for devs to come to their senses.

Does this mod disable achievements?

No idea, backup your save and try?

That's ok too. I recommend you don't install it.

The new concrete looks great, but it does not fill the place of the old concrete, which

• - Was visually unobtrusive and light in colour
  
  - Had a visible grid which was still part of the world (unlike debug overlay)

After loading up my 0.15 save in 0.16, it is much harder to see what is going on in my factory, especially when there is e.g. a dense circuit network.

It would be great to see the old concrete come back as a distinct tile called "factory floor" or something. Unfortunately I don't think it has any high-res graphics available.

the new concrete is beautiful, but in my opinion should be it's own type of surface like paving stones or something.
i prefer the old concrete as it shows where the tiles are in the game.

using mods disables steam achievements, but you can still get achievements in the game that are tracked separately.

Did you have try out this: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=55580

As far as I see, this awesome work isn't a mod but a texture (pack), so you may use it without thinking about missing your achievements.
