Timelapse feature #32

Open DarkShadow44 opened 1 year ago

DarkShadow44 commented 1 year ago

Absolutely love this mod, especially that you managed to do it without relying on external tools! Would it be possible to implement a timelapse feature, like https://github.com/L0laapk3/FactorioMaps does? Would be nice to have a map that allows easily switching between snapshots.

Idea for the future: Keeping track of chunks, so non-modified chunks can simply be reused. Probably not too easy though.

That sounds doable - the serving part already list the shots of a given map and knows about the ticks, so it would just need a UI element using that data. That would likely not work with the standalone file serving, but at least using mapshot serve it would not be super complicated I suspect. I don't have any immediate plans to work on it, but keeping the issue around as that sounds like a nice feature to have.

[Also, thanks for the link to FactorioMaps - I somehow missed it, and it looks like a nice tool]
