Can scenarios add graphics?

[adamius]

Hi

I'm wanting to build a campaign like setup to intro some people to Factorio. I'd like to have animation and still graphics to assist.

From the wiki I interpret that scenarios can't do this.

I appear to need a mod. Am I reading this page correctly?

thanks

"file" - path to an image file located inside the current scenario. This file is not preloaded so it will be slower; for frequently used sprites, it is better to define sprite prototype and use it instead.

Which you can use with LuaRendering.draw_sprite. But. This is only static sprites, not animations as far as i can tell. (This is a brand new 0.17.x feature btw).
