Changes coal deposits on Vulcanus to lighter textures for better visibility, leaving other planets unchanged. Adds three new textures (ash-coal, red-glow-low-coal, red-glow-intense-coal) with ash-coal as default. Forked from 'I see coal' by Lasciva_Engineer.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 1.2.0
Date: 2026-07-08
Info:
- Updated for Factorio 2.1 (tested on 2.1.7). Made Space Age a hard dependency.
- Some fixes in this release were originally made by zinful in "I See Coal Fork Fork"
and have been folded back in here with thanks. That mod and this one now do the
same job, so they're marked incompatible with each other.
Features:
- Detection is now based on the tile under the coal instead of the surface name.
This means Vulcanus coal is now correctly recolored even when it's on a surface
other than "vulcanus" - for example when a terrain mod like EON-FulgoraDiscovered
merges Vulcanus tiles onto another planet's surface.
- Added "Restore vanilla coal" map setting. Turning it on converts all Vulcanus coal
back to normal so the mod can be safely disabled or removed without coal
disappearing or miners breaking.
- Added "/icf-restore-vanilla-coal" command which does the same as the map setting.
- After restoring or re-applying coal, a warning appears if any failed to convert.
Changes:
- Coal is now only replaced where the game already placed it, preventing potential
but unlikely misplacement (autoplace disabled on the Vulcanus coal prototype).
Bugfixes:
- Fixed the "vanilla" texture style never actually applying - the code was checking
for a style value of "default", which doesn't exist in the setting's allowed values.
