Would you provide support for major mods to add their textures?

require("prepare")

modname = "factocad"

prequire("parts.base")
prequire("parts.fmod")
prequire("parts.dytech")

require("process")

y.petremann wrote:Since factorio textures packs for the default stuff needs to have a mod to insert the texture and changes some values, I consider this not as a texture pack but a mod since everything is in a separate mod, so you don't have to do base or mod editing, the mod itself does that for you ...

Well, he can't do that. Graphics used by mods are coded within mods itself (both files and file reference to objects), so he can at best do graphics, but implementing them is only mod creator's decision.

It could be of course done by users by simply replacing graphics in mod directory manually, but it's not really a solution, is it?

extend(overwritten_graphics,{
  "__base__/graphics/entity/basic-transport-belt/start-end-integration-patches.png",
  "__base__/graphics/entity/basic-transport-belt/basic-transport-belt.png",
})

merge(overwrite_data,{
  ["data.raw.transport-belt.basic-transport-belt.animations.frame_count"]=1,
})

And for screenshoots.

• I really like the way I've made the oil refinery, but does it looks a bit complex for schematics ?
• The chemical plant is not really satisfying me. What d you think ?
• I really don't have good idea for pumpjack and Inserters and a way to differentiate them (according to the fact that they would be black and white).

• Transport belts are a bit too complex, you've put double lines and so much arrows, things I want to have less because it would take so much place and don't deserve the aim of being easy to read.
• I like the way you've made transport belt to ground but I would not use them because also a bit complex.
• Same for splitter, they are not always used for splitting, but also as merger, distributors and speeders

Perhaps it might be an alternative to the unfinished Highcontrast mod?
(thinking "schematic graphics" v.s. "schematic graphics", how different it could be )

Are those... Pipes? No idea what's flowing through them.
