Adds factory buildings you can walk into and build parts of your factory inside. This mod will not be updated for Factorio 0.15! Get Factorissimo2 instead, it's much better.
Would it be possible to make it a kind of assembling machine that can produce all types of items but with crafting speed 0 ?
That way there would be an icon to identify the different buildings.
If you could make the factory building display its contents when hovered over (akin to a blueprint), I feel that that would be an excellent way to distinguish between them.
Unfortunately the Lua API is very restricted in that regard, in most regards actually. Graphical features are generally hardcoded and I can't just add a new type of GUI element.
Would it be possible to use something like the way you can customize the blueprint icon? So you can select one ore more other icons that will be put on top of the building icon both in inventory and when placed if info mode is on?
You could do something like Nixie Tubes does and place a second non-interactable entity on top (a car, which "rotates" through the characters) to do the sprite work you need. If you place a constant combinator, you can set the first four signals to control its icons.
One question to answer is how to actually set those icons. My thought is to add a constant combinator inside the factory near the door that is interactable, and have the non-interactable one outside copy its settings from there.
Then you just need to ask Wube to add blueprint like overlays to item icons (Or could you make the item a blueprint?)
