I tired to move animations overriding code into final stage and it worked... ...partially. When you just stand or walk you appear as a Mechanicus, but once your armor starts to fly you see its native sprite so it ends up flickering too much when you walk fast trough your factory.
I will not release such behavior, but if this is okay for you, you could easily do it by yourself.
- Download this mod as a file
- Unpack it into some folder on your PC, it should create folder named "mechanicus-reborn" with bunch of files inside
- Rename file "data.lua" into "data-final-fixes.lua"
- Then go back to see "mechanicus-reborn" folder on your screen and right click on it. Send > Compressed folder
- Rename new file to "mechanicus-reborn_0.0.1.zip" and manually place it into your mods folder (C:\Users\%your-pc-user-name%\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods) replacing original mod
