Add delay on render to render flames
From Mazmot on Factorio forum:
Having an option to delay capturing will make nicer look & feel for furnaces.
In CLI version, this mod try to capture as soon as the save file loaded. But stone/steel/electric furnaces don't start to firing at that timing. So, the generated map looks weird because no flame on furnaces. https://imgur.com/sRvYM3r
I modified a bit for myself: https://github.com/mazmot-is/mapshot/commit/df5456426102535a08922eb0e6b1cdc1da442f01
Overall, it would indeed be nice to have better visual. I would like to keep the ability to also render without delay - it is more predictable and so on. A flag to set the delay could do the trick - though I wonder what the default should be between:
- No delay by default, predictable, but worse visuals
- Delay by default, better render, but a bit surprising (esp. if that's several seconds of extra delay).
I'll need to try things out a bit.
