please allow the game to use avif its much more efficient and smaller.
my mod folder is taking up 4gb of png files this can be reduced by 70% with avif.
there are batch apps to convert all png to avif lossless

Re: Add support for AVIF
Doesn’t make much sense, because it needs to be unpacked when loading, which takes up some more time. Then it seems to be a non-loseless kind of compression which is bad , because in Factorio every pixel counts. And unpacked into memory the images have the same size, because that’s what’s done to make the graphics fast... I would mean the prize for 3 GB on your hard disk is much cheaper, than these disadvantages.

Avif sucks hard for lossless compression.

If that’s all true, then lossless WebP seems to perform better. But for these 10-20% - I don’t know if that makes sense.

Re: Add support for AVIF
generally the tradeoff is in the size vs performance. better compression is going to be slower both in decompression and compression. so, you'll sacrifice load times.ssilk wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 2:15 amAvif sucks hard for lossless compression.

overall a bad idea for no gains
