[Modding interface requests] I want to create a machine with more than 255 frames of animation

[plexpt]

But the maximum frame_count in the game is 255, 255 frames is really not enough.
So can this limit be changed?

I have to ask, is this for your miku roboport?

As a very hacky workaround you could make multiple entities with parts of the animation and then replace them every few ticks.

This method is too hacky and there may be some potential problems. Although I do it now

did anyone see

I saw. There's no plan to enhance the game engine to support > 255 frames of animation at the moment.

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to inquire if there have been any updates on the progress or future plans regarding support for animation with more than 255 frames in Factorio. We are keenly interested in any potential adjustments or enhancements to the engine that could accommodate more detailed animations, as discussed in the recent forum thread.

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to any insights you may have on this topic.

We haven no plans to support machines with more than 255 frames of animation and I don't realistically see it changing ever. Moving to won't-implement.

Why won’t this be implemented? Is it due to technical complexity or performance issues?
I really need this feature.
