a mod for factorio which adds a few commands for taking large screenshots and doing timelapses
commands:
/better-screenshot <surface> <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> [daytime] [scale] [compression]
takes a screenshot in the area defined (chunk coordinates)
daytime (if defined) is the time of day the screenshot will be
scale multiplies the resolution (default 512)
/screenshot-surface <surface> [daytime] [scale] [compression]
takes a screenshot on the given surface, in a rectangle surrounding all of your buildings
/screenshot-world-name <name>
sets the name of the folder where screenshots are saved; defaults to "default"
/default-screenshot-settings "reset"|(<setting> <value>)
changes default settings; the settings are as follows:
- daytime: number [0, 1]
- scale: number > 0
- compression: number [0, 1]
- hide_fog: boolean
- hide_clouds: boolean
/timelapse start
starts your timelapse
/timelapse stop
stops your timelapse
/timelapse add_surface <surface>
adds a surface to your timelapse
usually not needed, as planets are automatically added when you land
/timelapse remove_surface <surface>
removes a surface from your timelapse
/timelapse player
sets yourself as the user which will save the timelapse
known bugs:
- Sometimes the scale and compression values get swapped, I'm still not sure what causes this
