Colorblind Circuit Network


This mod replaces the green wires with yellow, and red with blue. Ideal for colorblind people to distinguish between them.

g Replace ['R','G'] with ['B',Y'] in Combinator etc. GUIs

5 months ago

Without replacing those letters, this mod becomes a bit frustrating because we have to constantly remember which "R" means and which "Y" means. This mod is a lifesaver for colorblind folk but this seems to be a significant price to pay to not have clear checkboxes for which signals to accept in Guis.

Thanks for the input, I have not been able to play as much of this expansion as I would have liked so haven't encountered this yet.

I looked into this, and came up with an okay solution in the latest release 1.2.0.
The best I can do is replace the tooltips to be correct, and updating the background colors in the inputs section.

I tried going through lua scripts to find an interception point for the 'R' and 'G' being rendered in that location.
I think the only way to do it would be to clone the combinator into a new entity that i completely control then i could make this change.
This would take me some time, as I have not really programmed in lua. On top of that it makes the mod quite fragile and would need to be monitored more for any breaking changes from updates.

I would love to have the time and energy to spend on something like this, but it's just not something i can do.
I hope the changes i did do are serviceable, i think they will suffice.
I turned off the mod for testing, and yeah the red and green are almost identical to me, so i feel your pain mate.

Let me know if there is any bugs or anything I missed. Happy to keep this little mod going.

This will come directly with 2.0.21. I already made the changes for that on my local version, based on what boskid showed me.
Will be released as soon the version of factorio releases.

Yooo that's great!

I am gonna do some new screenshots. The 7 year old ones are very funny though.

Nice .
I will no longer think like "hmmm , this blueish R button should be unchecked for this combinator , since this bluesh red signal should be ignored" .
Thanks to you and factorio devs .
