i Crossover with Deadlock Compact Loader / New Belt Style

6 years ago

Really love what you've done with this! It's probably a big ask, but I was curious if there was a possibility of also eyeing a style crossover with Deadlock's Compact Loaders--primarily / in particular, the fancy snazzy reworked belt graphics (as these loaders stick to the vanilla belt style.)

You want loaders that align more closely with Deadlocks?

Or what, I'm confused on what exactly you're interested in.

Deadlock's Compact Loaders also features redone belt graphics as an option, the Vanilla Loaders HD loaders have a short bit of vanilla belt attached for where they tether to regular belts. It's fairly subtle, but here is an example with where one of the loaders connects to a belt, etc. https://i.imgur.com/JYYr6xs.png

Ah, easy. I'll have that done this week. The belt graphics are actually independent from the loader graphics, so adding a conditional swap will be simple.

Sweet! :D

Alright, that's done. Before I push that, did you also want the Deadlock Loaders to be reskinned to a Vanilla style, rather than his crisp-Vanilla-but-not-quite style?

Awesome! I like the crisp style personally.

I think what I'll do is create a separate mod to reskin the Loaders to Deadlock's style, and another separate mod to skin his stuff to the Vanilla style. Or something.

But at some unspecified point in the future... Pushing the update in a few minutes.

Awesome. Could you then add some settings for the recipe overhaul to also affect the deadlock loaders?

6 years ago

I plan to. Currently debating making them have the same recipe as the loaders, since they do the same thing, but they are also smaller and don't work with wagons. Not sure whether to make them cheaper or more expensive (only slightly in either case).

I would personally prefer to have them slightly more expensive, since they do the same things like the normal loaders, but on a smaller "footprint". Maybe some more required circuits (aka more required engineering knowledge to get the result in less available space?!?)

That is the direction I was leaning, so it's good to see someone else has the same idea.
