Context: In my reskin mods, I display "tier" pips on hundreds of items. They show up primarily in the inventory/crafting machines, and I use the "pictures" field of items/items-with-entity-data and so on to avoid showing the pips when items are on belts or on the ground. With one...

Are you saying that objects in the game already have shadow layers? I don't think that's right but I really don't know. (I don't know that much about pixel art) If you had the art assets, yeah, it would be do-able. But to make those shadow layers would require a ton of art-work. Yes, that is what I...

I don't think it's possible to do this with sprites? Without some sort of 3d representation, how could you make a shadow of, say, a telephone pole? Every item in the game would need a whole new set of sprites and not just one. Maybe you could come up with some sort of compressed representation of a...

Imo, just having the shadows fade to almost invisible at night would be a marked improvement. But I think trying to simulate a proper day-night cycle with static sprites is asking a lot.

This is a result of turning off the option that tracks prototype history in "The rest" settings.

You could make a whitelist of which components should not be decomposed, everything made in furnaces for example. Now you build rocket parts from iron plates and copper plates (and crude oil). Which is where you don't apply the algorithm generally. He's not asking to make everything from their base...

Repeat until you can't find a recipe.

Now you build rocket parts from ore and crude oil.

What I want is an assembling machine that crafts the equivalent of two assembling machine recipes at a time. For example, it could make an engine unit from a steel plate, iron plates, and pipes or from a steel plate, iron plates, and an iron gear wheel but not iron plates, an iron gear wheel, and p...

That code looks like it only adds a single recipe. Yes, you are need to define what pairs of recipes must be compound. You cannot say: "do all recipes!" You are need defined pairs, same as by your example. No example - no recipe. You could probably make a gnarly recursive algorithm to do ...

Do you know about the UI scale in the settings? I'm not sure that it increases icon sizes but it should help with everything else.

It does.

It seems like they changed the behavior, so not technically a bug.

The color you have in the first one is a result of alpha = 1, the second I believe is the default alpha = 0.5, so.

Can you not change the alpha channel anymore? A quick test in-game shows it is ignoring the 4th value of the tint, e.g.
both return the same color red.

Ah, got it. You have to zero out the light size. You can't zero out the intensity, because then you lose the flicker effect.

light_flicker is turned off the same as in your code example with color = {0, 0, 0}. There is no light property defined. use_fuel_glow_color = true. default_fuel_glow_color = green, basically. You set the flicker color to {0,0,0}, and then you overrode it with the fuel glow color, So the color will...

This is probably the 'light_flicker' of the burner energy source https://i.imgur.com/tkCzJNM.png light_flicker is turned off the same as in your code example with color = {0, 0, 0}.

The Boiler prototype similarly creates a light (even if you kill the light in the energy_source definition) so long as the fuel has a fuel-glow color set. https://i.imgur.com/S5piFDL.png Is this a bug or do I need to make an interface request so that we can use the 1.1 light layers/properties to ach...

I'm not sure why there's such a strong push back against a mark all as read. Oh, I’m not against it. I just asked to clarify and made examples, why I need clarification. And I need another clarification: when I hit “mark all as read” (which sounds wrong, because I don’t “read” the icons, better wou...

I don’t understand exactly the why. Why is it so disturbing? You will pretty surely move your mouse over all entities during normal gameplay, aren’t you? Nobody forces the player to remove the “!” just when they appear ... and personally I would use that to say “oh, and then what else is new and ne...

https://i.imgur.com/h9oqtZ1.png The light can be omitted, set to zero intensity and size, use_fuel_glow_color can be set to false, but the light gonna light. In color. working_light_picture seems to respect the use_fuel_glow_color setting, but the light is stubbornly ignoring everything. Removing f...
