Layering icons show a strange behavior, it seems that the icon layer that is above the base icon is multiplied and also icons that are maybe next to them on the atlas are showing up.
As you can see the behavior is somewhat inconsistent, the roman numbers on the first row seem to display correctly

code example

Can you upload a simple mod showing the issue?

I can try to set something up, but the issue is also present with other players: viewtopic.php?f=185&t=50153&start=40#p297680

Did some more investigation, I cannot reproduce it with a dummy mod, but my guess is that there are not enough sprite added by the dummy.

I compared the "malfunctions" with the sprite atlas though:
original icons for reference: And then another issue popped up as well, I used the GUI scale option to better spot the errors and encountered this:
100% GUI scale 200% GUI scale

How are you defining these icons? Are they used as icons or are they arbitrary images?

They are all used as icons themselves (32x32px), I use the layering for recipes to indicate from which start product/item the endproduct/item will be produced. Example in the picture is copper-plate from coil, copper-plate from molten, etc. Code snippet example is in the first post.

Images used as icons are marked as "no-crop" and in the screenshots you've posted they're being cropped which makes me think they aren't being used as icons or you've got some cached something going on causing problems.

Can you upload a full set of mods/save file that shows the problem? If you can't make it happen in a test case.

Like I said all the 32x32px sprites are used in at least one item definition as icon. The only exeption are the roman numbers I only use as a layer, but even they are referenced in an icon path.

I'll upload the modpack which is causing the issue, a bit of experimenting showed that adding AAI-Vehicles-Warden causes the issue to appear. Removing the Warden Mod and adding Yuokis for example, which has far more sprites and gfx wont cause the issue to appear. So I'm not sure where or what the problem might be that leads to cropping the icons.

Thanks for the mods. I was able to reproduce the problem and it's now fixed for the next version of 0.15.

Thanks for the effort

I discovered another issue that is related to layering icons
The layers on top are missaligned. UI scale is default.

Can you upload a mod and save file that shows it broken? Preferably a small save and not an end-game factory

There you go, it's consistently appearing for layered recipe icons. I think I ended up with this behavior also when you scale the UI to a different size (see some posts above). From that I take the guess that the images themselves are scaled up but not their relative position to each other.
