Test palette scenario

Included is a game scenario for testing mod settings.
(Can be started from Single player -> New game -> Mod scenarios.)

This can be used to determine what icons, sprites, or GUI elements you personally have trouble with, and after changing mod settings, testing if the settings work for you.

The scenario does not require the Space Age expansion. It can be loaded without it, and all migration warnings ignored.

Performance

As all changes are made during startup, and only replace sprites, there is no performance impact on startup or runtime.

Multiplayer

This mod supports multiplayer. However, due to Factorio limitations when modifying icons and sprites, all players will be forced to use the same settings.

Mod support

The following mods have baked in support, and having them installed will add more settings for items and entities from the mod.

Ultracube: Age of Cube
