No Shadow Mod
No Shadow Mod
Can someon write a mod to remove ALL the shadows ? Or at least the shadows of the robots. I have multiple of dozens of thousands of them and the fps goes down dadurch. Removing the shadows would help keep the FPS a bit higher.

Isn't there a graphic setting for this?

No visible shadows, not even visible robots.
But I think it won't change the performance of your game.

Re: No Shadow Mod
Not quite sure about that. The mod removes all animations from the prototypes, so I'd expect that making the bots invisible would have an effect on performance.Koub wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 8:33 amYou can have better : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/invisible-robots

However, removing just the shadows won't. Apparently, if you use a certain animation in the prototype, there must be the matching shadow animation:
Code: Select all
Error while loading entity prototype "construction-robot" (construction-robot): Construction robot working frames doesn't equal construction robot shadow working frames
Of course, one could replace the original shadow graphics with a blank. But that will make the game only visually cleaner (no shadows moving through your field of view), while the animations still would run. So no performance gain.
A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!

You were right, it doesnt change the performance. I got 50k logistic robots, and yes i need them all, and my fps are around 30.Koub wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 8:33 amYou can have better : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/invisible-robots
