[0.17.4] Power pole ghosts hard to see

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[0.17.4] Power pole ghosts hard to see

Post by vladdu »

This is a small issue, but annoying. It might have been so before 0.17, but I had the nanobot build things for me :-)

When placing a blueprint, in the ghosted image it is difficult to see the power poles on most terrains.

Otherwise 0.17 looks great for me.

In Nexela's PickerTweaks is a setting, where you can change the ghost-tint in different colors.

Thanks, that's a good suggestion, but it it is indeed a problem (and not just me having bad sight), then I think it should be addressed in vanilla. It's about the first impression, too.

My eyes aren't that bad, but sometimes it is annoying, especially in pure vanilla, without the help of nanobots or other ghost placing mods.

So I thought, until the devs decide what to do, I help out a fellow factorian in need :)

Much appreciated, thanks! Also, now the Nanobots have been upgraded :-)

There are a lot of problems with the ghost tint, we will fix them all in a single fell swoop at some point in the future...

Thank you!
Talking about visibility, even the icons above the assemblers can be hard to discern (even when normal, not ghosted). Maybe a background for the icons that is less noisy?
