Water Ford

by drdozer

A walkable ford over water — players, biters and Pyanodon's land caravans cross, while fish swim across the deck and Cargo Ships still sail over it. Plus a matching Wooden Flooring for dry land: honey-toned boards with a built bumper edge. New decorative tiles for Factorio 2.1.

Water Ford adds two wooden terrain tiles: a ford you can walk across, and the matching Wooden Flooring for dry land.

Wooden Ford

  • Cross water on foot — ford across rivers, lakes and your Cargo Ships waterways.
  • Everyone crosses: you, biters, and Pyanodon's land caravans — while fish swim across the deck and Cargo Ships vessels still sail over it.
  • The deck lies under animated water, with wooden pilings standing semi-submerged at the rims and ballast stones tinting at the waterline: a real shallow crossing, not a floating walkway.
  • Water stays water: the ford is placeable on water only, and fish, offshore pumps and other water-dwellers treat it as water.
  • Unbuildable: you can't construct buildings on fords as they are not intended as a substitute for landfill.

Wooden Flooring

  • Honey-toned plank boards for camps, yards and walkways — land only.
  • A raised wooden bumper edge at the waterline and a wooden trim against other terrain, so board edges read as built, not cut.
  • Same boards, same palette as the ford deck — the two tiles read as one family.

Works standalone; with Pyanodon's Alien Life the boards join the wood chain and the caravans get their crossings.
