Bricks, hooray

It would be possible to use the view from the material icon for the bricks.

Excellent mod. It expands the recycling possibilities of the base game well.

Oh, I didn’t check that. I thought I had already made the resource itself look like it does in the icon. Alright, I’ll fix that. Sorry about that!

The Bricks have now been fixed!

You can now clearly see the actual bricks when they are moving on conveyors, being transported by trucks and train wagons, and when they are stacked alongside storage buildings.

Please check them again once the next update is released and let me know how they look on your side.

When I last attempted to use this mod, I as no recipe that used bricks.

Has this also been corrected?

Bricks are used to construct buildings from the mod and are not used for anything else. Essentially, they act as a kind of separate “currency” for building in Colibri Industries.

I have not tried the mod again yet.
I know that when it was actually a part of the game, they were used in the T1 construction parts.
Has the part of the mod "repaired"? I just know that when I looked up the "ingrediencies", there was nothing to tell me what they were made of nor what they were used in the making of...

Bricks have not returned to the game in the same form they had before. I used the old bricks mainly as a base and reference because I liked the idea of that resource itself.

In my mod, bricks are now a separate resource with their own role. Basically, they are used as a kind of construction “currency” for buildings from my mod. So they are used to build and pay for Colibri Industries buildings, rather than restoring the old vanilla brick production chain exactly as it used to be.

Bringing bricks back was quite difficult! And it was even harder to make the game properly show the structure you mentioned yourself. As for making it clearly show what bricks are made from, which recipes use them, and all the other related information — that is a large and very time-consuming job that I am not taking on yet, although I really want to do it. So I cannot promise when exactly I will be able to finish that.

The developers basically removed almost the entire old system that was connected to bricks, so I had to rebuild almost everything from scratch.

That's true, and in my opinion a big mistake on the programmers' part.

Well, what can you do if that’s how they decided to do it.😔

Idea: Build a new Colibri Assembly building that only makes Construction parts with bricks and/or concrete. That way your not interfering with the Vanilla Stuff.

That’s a good idea! But I’ve already gone pretty far with the current implementation, so changing everything at this point would be quite a lot of work. I’ll probably leave it as it is for now. In the future, when I have some free time, I may come back to this and change it the way you suggested. Thanks for the idea!
