Factorio Forums

I already posted in the "Work In Progress Mods" part of this forum, but to sum it up quickly I am making a mod that adds a Bucket Wheel Excavator, like the Bagger 288.
The code is basically finished, but I still need the textures / animations for my mod, so I wanted to ask if anybody would like to make some.

it helps a lot if you post the needed gfx-size, how many animation-directions you want and so on.

on the other hand, i can download your mod, view into code and if it's not to chaotic i will find the needed values. this can slow the whole process to zero ^^.

I am currently using the basic car animation form the base game, so the size would be about the same and so would be the amount of used textures.
But the size doesn't really matter that much as it is very easy to change.
The icons are 32x32 pixels for the item and 64x64 pixels for the research icon.

The basic mod is attached in this post, but currently the only thing you see when placing the excavator is the standart car shadow.
To spawn it in you have the item named "excavator".

I hope that is all the information you need, and thanks for considering doing this.

i'am curious if you get this to work ...

rough version for your testings

and if i remember correct max-size per sheet is 2048 x 2048 px.

You are the man, those textures look fantastic!
Attached is a version of the mod with added textures.

hey i grabed your mod but the moment i start the game it crashes and i get this msg:

feel a little sad because it all sounded really cool
