Hi,

When specifying the drawing box of an entity that is larger than the selection box, it correctly "zooms out" the entity preview to make the whole entity visible in the entity preview box.

Now I have a very small entity, so I've set my drawing box very small as well, but it doesn't seem to "zoom in" the entity preview, hence why the entity looks rather small in the preview. I do know that the colors do not justify it in this case.

To reproduce, I've attached the mod, go into the crafting menu, craft a smart cable, place it and hover over it, the preview is not zoomed in.

Thanks for the report however I believe that's intended. The logic doesn't scale up things - only scale down if drawing_box won't fit.

So it doesn't take into account that the entity picture/animation could already be downscaled as well, (scale has been set to <1).

Could it be possible to add a setting to upscale the preview so at least it upscales to the size of a single tile entity (for example transport belt). It's still small compared to large entities, but at least it's somewhat visible?

I do recall some questions about being able to draw over the entity preview to preview something else, but that was too complicated to implement. Could an upscale work? Seems doable to me as the entity has higher scales visible when you zoom into the entity (zooming in all the way appears that the actual entity is alot bigger than the entity preview itself
