ugly graphics

working_visualisations =
    {
      {
        animation =
        {
          filename = "__bobgreenhouse__/graphics/entity/greenhouse-light.png",
          width = 113,
          height = 91,
          frame_count = 1,
          shift = {0.2, 0.15}
        },
		light = {intensity = 1, size = 6}
      }
    },

new graphics

crappy GIF of animation

      {
	animation = {

bobingabout wrote:Shift is measured in tiles, and tiles are 32 pixels in size, so if you want to move it 1 pixel, it would be by 1/32. you can either put that in directly (the game allows it) or use a calculator to get 0.03125, and use that instead.

BTW doing pipe overlays is one of the most annoying tasks when doing new buildings.

madtulip wrote:That seams to be a good solution to me. Without fertilizer energy should be effectively lost by producing wood via the greenhouse and using it as fuel. With fertilizer the direct use of petroleum gas to solid fuel should yield more energy.

Ontop of the energy requirement to produce wood being larger than the energy gained, the energy to produce the wood should ALSO be larger than the energy generated by the coal/oil required to produce equal amounts of synthetic resign/wood. That would imply that if you currently burn any oil or coal for energy you would be better of to not produce resign or wooden boards from the greenhouse but use your coal or oil instead thereby limiting the greenhouse to an early game, pre oil installment only to bridge the gap until oil is available. That might already be the case if the first condition is true, depending on the amount of ressources used for normal/synthetic resign/wood which i dont have infront of me right now.
