Hello, really sorry if I am doing this wrong, I just joined the forums after discovering the glory that is Factorio, but I am currently stuck on version 0.14 because of my 32-bit potato. Which is why I am wondering if anyone has the updated textures for an older version of the game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game, but If anyone has it, please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.

If own any version of factorio you are eligible to update it. Make a copy of your current version. Upgrade. Make a copy of the textures. Downgrade your game again. Profit.

I fear 0.14 can't handle the new mipmaps and hr graphics as they didn't exist then.

Yeah, I'm not sure if solely copying the new textures would be enough.
Just to check, what is your processor?

Intel Atom, i dont know the specifics but I really am sure its 32-bit.
Really sad how I'm stuck with the version prior to belt and pipe/fluid optimizations, seeing how crummy my lappy already is

Would downscaling them not work? Sorry if im not catching on...

I can't update since I am still running on a 32-bit processor, and 0.14 is the last version that supports the architecture

The game engine has changed since 2016 - a lot. The prototypes that define the entities in the game have changed. The size of sprites, their positions in relation to the tile grid and the way things are layered has changed in many cases. It would not be enough just to copy a bunch of graphics from one place to another. You might be able to back-port some of the new artwork but it would require a few hours of comparing several thousand lines of code in both versions and adjusting where necessary. Not even remotely worth it.

I think I understand what you mean but just to make sure, its not just the textures that were changed, also how they were rendered onto the screen?
