Train texture inconsistancy over diagonal tracks

Post by LotA »

It seems to me the red lines should be parallel, shouldn't they?

Its a minor issue and probably already reported (even though i found nothing with the search function)

There's a similar issue with shadow angle inconsistency: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... dow#p70911

I guess it's really tricky to get these things perfect. Personally I never even noticed any of this and I suspect most other players haven't either. I think the sprites in factorio are awesome. ^^

I don't know. I think it is relevant, cause I constantly misplace diagonal tracks, even over short distances. I think it's coming from this. But it's no wonder: the first "new" graphics in factorio was the trains.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

It's not that disappointing, its just that once you see it, you can't unsee it ^^'

The train sprites are amazing, the curves are so smooth it almost look like 3d models. This little thing is certainly not worth the time to redraw all the frame atm.
I'm also experiencing placement fails but i believe it to be caused by the N-S / W-E thing, basically square tiles while having a camera at 45*
