Thanks a lot for this mod !!!
But, i had a hard time "combining" the grid images so i made a small program in C# to do that.
I've put it on https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1eo1yxgbvyz1k2/Images.exe?dl=0
Just put this exe in
%AppData%\Factorio\script-output\StromTL
and run it.
oh that is AWESOME! sorry i was away for sometime busy in RL. But the only thing i was struggling was with how to stitch all the images together. So this is really great! if you have any suggestions to the algorithm of the mod and how it does what, lemme know! and great to know it was useful for you!
KipiKipod we needed to do an image larger than a c# Bitmap allows and so I added scaling down to your code. Its simply done on the longest side of the merged image vs the max length of a square Bitmap.

This will apply to any merged images larger than a 45x45 grid. The max image ends up being just over 1GB and takes forever to load in many image viewer programs.
Note you can't have any numbers in the file path as otherwise the app won't find any screenshots. If this is used by others I can fix that as well.
