Reskins belts with a dark rubbery theme!

Give your belts a sleek dark look with this mod. I took the time to make it compatible with factorio 2.0 and space age!
The changes are cosmetic only - belt recipes and other properties are not changed.

Originally built by Deadlock989 for Industrial Revolution 3 (rip), the mod was marked as deprecated, and forgotten...
But thanks to stubborn appreciation, it's back now!

Customizable!

Mod settings let you customize how your belts look! Current options include:

  • Arrows: tier-based arrows ; slow belt arrows for all ; fast belt arrows for all ; no arrows
  • Side rails: vanilla steel for all ; alternate material bases (IR3 metals + tungsten) ; colored rails (perfect for arrowless belts)
  • Glowing arrows and Glowing belt rails (colored belt rails only). Inspired by Belt Glow. Can be toggled on/off separately as you prefer.
  • If the turbo belt's flickering animation bothers you, you can toggle Thicker Arrows to replace the thin arrows by thicker plates. (turbo belt and faster only!)

More customization options (thick line, thin line...) to come later.
We're open to ideas for more customizability options!

Please let me know if any bug shows up!

Warning: This mod uses layers for belt animations and only high resolution spritesheets are provided. It is not recommended if you have a PC that struggles to render the vanilla game.


Compatibility

Compatibility with modded belt types may be added as requested. (Note: belts with a throughput of >60 items/s use the Turbo belt's animation as default.)

WIP features and ideas

These are features that have yet to be coded and/or added. Please feel free to suggest more in the discussion page!

More modded belt types I'm planning to add eventually, in no particular order (will be added if requested):


Credits

  • Deadlock989: Original Black Rubber Belts mod for Factorio 1.1 creator. They made both the code and graphics, they also hold the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license to the original mod. Please go check out their work! They used to make great mods before Factorio 2.0 came out, but they retired from modding when it released...
  • Supershadow30 (me): Maintainer of this fork. I've made basically all the compatibility fixes for Space Age and other modded belts, and added extra customizability options (T4 arrow sprites, new alt base sprites, glow). These changes should count as fair use in regards to Deadlock's CC license (I hope).

Shoutouts

If you are looking for more IR3 content that's compatible with Factorio 2.0:

  • 0n0w1c has released several patches on their profile to allow users to retexture vanilla features into their IR3 equivalent. Follow the instructions provided and enjoy these high quality sprites.
  • Shemp has recently released a patchset meant to port IR3 to 2.0. This can also include all of IR3's addons as required.

The installation process of these patches is a little odd. However, they are fully compliant with IR3's CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License and only involve the original mods.
Black Rubber Belts Remastered is fully compatible with the patched mods.
