g [Implemented] Loader connecting to machines

6 months ago

Could it be possible to add a script like AAI loaders so that loaders makes structures 8% bigger so that they look connected to the structure and not adjacted to it ?

I'm not sure that it really gives much of an improvement.

1) This function doesn't even work in AAI Loaders with Factorio 2.0 anyway.
2) 8% is the max to increase (otherwise it spills over it's tile area).
3) Doesn't really look that different. See image at link.

Created a test with regular size and 8% bigger. To me they don't look demonstrably different.

However, if there is a large call for this option I'll add it.

this is not 8% increase ... as it is in your picture (maybe 8% loader size increase) and not assembler...; this is 8% increase on the assembler:

graphics_set =
{
animation =
{
layers =
{
{
filename = "base/graphics/entity/assembling-machine-1/assembling-machine-1.png",
priority="high",
width = 214,
height = 226,
frame_count = 32,
line_length = 8,
shift = util.by_pixel(0, 2),
scale = 0.58
},
{
filename = "base/graphics/entity/assembling-machine-1/assembling-machine-1-shadow.png",
priority="high",
width = 190,
height = 165,
line_length = 1,
repeat_count = 32,
draw_as_shadow = true,
shift = util.by_pixel(8.5, 5),
scale = 0.58
}
}
}
},

I forgot to mention : The Assembling Machine increase size is 8% not the loader.
the script in aai loaders say increase the size of assembling machines by8% so that the loader will not stand in thin air.

i have scaled all my assembling machines to 0.58 and all works well ...

Scale .50 to Scale .58 is 16%, which does seem to be large enough to line the graphic up a bit better. It does spill over the tiles and result in some overlapping. I added a setting that can be enabled to embiggen the assembler graphics for the next version.

Thanks for the suggestion.

i tried now with 0.54 scale and it is better.

You can choose between 8% and 16% embiggening.

unfortunately it works only with vanilla machines ... so it is no use for me.. cause i use my assemblers wich i already resized to 0.54.
