Update for 2.0, and add a migration that converts all items to their 2.0 counterparts, so blueprints made with this mod can be converted automatically to 2.0.

I'm going to be swamped with updating other mods to work at all, and then I'd prefer to actually play. It would take a LOT of effort to figure out the new rail properties to convert fake rails to real rails, and that's even assuming it's possible. I could have made some mistakes in collision boxes or otherwise, or the devs might not have included enough API in 2.0 to do the conversion.

This is probably a no for me, but I'm open to a PR.

Was just coming here to check what the plans were. Sounds like it would be a lot of work for a one-time thing, since the mod won't be needed in a couple days. For myself, I'll just take screenshots of the rail book designs I've made so far and recreate them by hand with the real 2.0 rails (I can't properly test or even signal them anyway, so I'm sure they'll need revisions). Thanks a lot for this mod, it's certainly helped me get some ideas down while waiting for 2.0!

I managed to update most of the mod to 2.0 It can be found at https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fake-new-rails-2 Note that signals were removed, and that rails will now collide incorrectly, so you can't build new intersections with the fake rails.

@sparr feel free to take the changes over into your mod, but since I removed signals, I decided not to make a PR on Github. (There was some issue with invalid sprite boundaries, that I'm not bothered to learn how to fix.)

It hadn't occurred to me that people would want to use this with 2.0-without-space-age. I'll consider taking some of your changes and updating it. Please use a new thread for further discussion of that; this thread is about adding migrations which I am still not planning to do.
