I make these pics and animations with my own program, because i'am also a blender-noob. no blender-file avaible - sorry.
i remove the pipe-connection, and render this connections separate maybe background-overlay work. because the ingame-perspektive the cokery is longer as you think, i would say not rotable, otherwise the new width/deepth would look weird. maybe it should be more closed to looks more compact - but i think i try this later. beside that, i make a new graphic/animation if i had see the old long enough - and unhappy with it

Also it does not matter if the pipe-connections are integrated in the model or seperated, because they are always visible anyway, but then again - if integrated - the model has be rendered for all 4 directions.

- clean is good, it's easier to texture - and i can do the biolab also clean. this flurozens-light-glow think can i catch
- okay i will render without-pipe it's also easier, because correct spaced position the pipe-connections is a pain - but the overlays looks not always good - maybe we get later a better solution if realy needed.

Hmm, for the cokery it might be better/ easier to simply revert the recipe-changes I made. This would solve the following issues:
- not need to deal with pipe-connectors
- only one spritesheet for ONE direction is needed, because assembling-machines without pipe-connections cannot be rotated (well, they can be rotated, but the collision-box is not updated properly then, so I would disallow it)

Apart from that I only added the methanol-recipe in the cokery for realism, but if the effort is so much bigger than the gain - then screw it. There are other ways to produce methanol that should be sufficient.

Just do not make it glow too much, I am not going to add a light source that would symbolize the glowing

I have an idea, can you make 2 models one with - the other - without pipes? The pipe-connector-positions to not have to be correct and one per side should be sufficient, also I would need only one frame from the "with-pipe"-model. I guess, or better I hope, that I can extract the connectors from the graphic and use them as overlay. Another idea is to adapt the assembling-machine-2 texture/color (for the foundation), so I can re-use its pipe-connectors

some bioreactor in action

maybe its easier to overlay the pipe-to-ground-pics as pipe-connectors as seen here

Looks great!

Just a small point, I believe I can manage to create the pipe connections by myself, but could you remove the silver/grey ?pipes? on the left & right side, that would make it easier for me.

removed, also added shadows - but this cause sometimes issues - so both version for your test aviable

new coke-icon

i noticed recently that the glue-turret shots rockets ... so gfx should refer this ... and as i worked on, 3 variants come out

V1-place - V1-AnimSheet

V2-place - V2-AnimSheet

V3-place - V3-AnimSheet

yesterday i saw FishSandwich's mod-spotlight about Treefarm ... and he criticized a missing animation. i can't accept this

so here the missing sheet - ready to implement


(if it's to wide simply resize the whole sheet in x-axis)
of course pipe-connections are not perfect aligned - as always ... sry

26 frames, 13/line

Supplement: BioLab - clean version

icons 32x32 and 64x64 (tech ?)


sheet 16 frames, 4x4 - shift, align not testet, one direction -> here <- can rescaled if not fit

4x (HiRes)-variant - 96x96 -> 288x288
