I copied and adapted the code of the `legacy_terrains` addon which seemed to do exactly that. But the tiles don't show up, the usual ones appear instead. To be more specific: they don't show up when I start a new game they appear in the editor menu when I create a new map, but the newly created map is still filled with the vanilla terrain then if I try to create a new map a second time the vanilla tiles appear in the menu, suggesting something is getting overwritten somewhere Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Sample content of my `postload.lua` file: `local D = wl.Descriptions() D:modify_unit( "terrain", "desert_beach", "textures", { textures = path.list_files(path.dirname(__file__) .. "desert/beach.png" )} ) -- …` The files are 64x64 pngs in the desert folder. I have copied over the `editor.lua` file and the `addon` file seems fine too. I'm a bit lost. EDIT: I also checked what happened if I make the terrain tiles into indexed png but that's not it. Edited: 2023-01-29, 23:12 Top Quote

In version 1.1, world add-ons have to be part of the map in order to use them, they are not applied when starting a new game. In the current development version that was changed recently, so you can now also start new games with any world add-ons you like. As a workaround for the editor bug, you can create a new map, save it, then edit its `elemental` file by hand to add your add-on to the list of add-ons therein, and then load the modified map file in the editor. Since v1.1 terrain images no longer need to be indexed PNGs. If you want your add-on to be backwards-compatible with v1.0 then indexed terrain graphics are necessary. Top Quote
