Adding draw_as_glow to FluidPrototype

Post by snouz »

Hi, I would like to suggest allowing for fluid to glow in the dark in pipes.

Right now, a fluid has flow_color, which tints the fluid visualization in pipes.

I'd like to suggest having an extra boolean property that would signal that this fluid is glowing in the dark, and which would make fluid_background in https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... tures.html draw_as_glow = true.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

It seems like a good idea to better differentiate fluids, especially in big mods, and it would make sense to also add that to lava and molten metals in space age. +1
