[2.0.60] Unloaded stomper-corpse variations (multilayered problem) + Solution
Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2025 6:33 pm
UPDATE [2.0.65]:
Update 2.0.65 has changed the situation.
Only the following two points remain from the original bug report:
Even though they are defined in enemies.lua, stomper-corpse-1.png and stomper-corpse-2.png are not loaded as variations and are not displayed in the game.
Only stomper-corpse-3.png is loaded and used in the game.
Factorio\data\space-age\prototypes\entity\enemies.lua (original Code):
As you commented, only the second variant is loaded.
Actually, the third variant. More on that later.
The key issue here is that some brackets are missing. The individual "layers" must be placed in their own set of curly brackets, as follows:
Caution is advised at this point, as adding the curly brackets is not the final solution.
There are three additional problems here:
Or like this in the second case.:
In my examples, I also increased the decay_animation/frame_count from 15 to 16, as otherwise the last decay frame would be omitted.
It's likely that my "shift = util.by_pixel(XX, XX)" entries are incorrect and need to be adjusted.
Update 2.0.65 has changed the situation.
Only the following two points remain from the original bug report:
- missing stomper-corpse-effect-map (stomper/water_reflection/pictures)
- stomper-corpse-1.png ---> ???
- stomper-corpse-2.png ---> stomper-corpse-effect-map-1.png
- stomper-corpse-3.png ---> stomper-corpse-effect-map-2.png
- stomper/decay_animation/frame_count is 15, not 16. The frame count of 15 causes the last frame of the animation to be omitted.
Even though they are defined in enemies.lua, stomper-corpse-1.png and stomper-corpse-2.png are not loaded as variations and are not displayed in the game.
Only stomper-corpse-3.png is loaded and used in the game.

There are three additional problems here:
- There are three variants of the Stomper Corpse, but only two Stomper Corpse Effect Maps.
- The stomper corpse and stomper corpse effect map numbering does not match.
- stomper-corpse-1.png ---> ???
- stomper-corpse-2.png ---> stomper-corpse-effect-map-1.png
- stomper-corpse-3.png ---> stomper-corpse-effect-map-2.png
- The "stomper-corpse-1.png" texture does not match the "stomper-corpse-1.lua" and "stomper-corpse-1-mask.png" files, so it cannot be loaded.
See:viewtopic.php?t=130099
- Either delete the incorrect, non-functioning "stomper-corpse-1.png" file and reduce the counters of the other two files ("stomper-corpse-2.png" and "stomper-corpse-3.png") by one.
- Alternatively, you can repair the broken "stomper-corpse-1.png" and add the missing stomper-corpse-effect-map. In this case, the names must also be adjusted to correspond.
