Timelapse Base Edition (TLBE)

Mod for Factorio that takes screenshots of your base at specified intervals.

Features:

  • Multiple camera support, each taking their own screenshots.
  • Trackers to tell the camera(s) where to look at
    • Follow player until the first entity is built.
    • Follow base growth, keeping focus on specified area/city block or recenter automatically.
    • And finally follow the rocket launch.
  • Camera use (ordered) tracker list, first enabled tracker is used.
  • Camera gradually (configurable period) recenters and zooms out, which can be recorded in a stop-motion fashion.
  • Each camera has customizable resolution, frame rate and speed gain, and show their recording area on the map.
  • All screenshots are taken with full daylight or follow day cycle, and optionally show entity information.
  • Flexible save options:
    • Configurable screenshot folder (e.g. to support multiple save files that are played in parallel).
    • Include map seed in path (extra measure to prevent overlaps when having multiple save files)
    • Configurable screenshot numbering, either sequential (default, more suitable for Windows ffmpeg) or game tick (easier to synchronize multiple cameras).
    • Configurable image formats (PNG or JPG).
  • Optionally start recording on game start to not miss the crash in the timnelapse.

Open the TLBE settings from shortcut bar or CTRL-T (default key binding) to configure your camera(s) and trackers.

Screenshots are stored in the script-output folder, with the configured sub-directory ('Save location' setting in the Mod Settings menu).
