About

This mod makes the game accessible to the blind and visually impaired, by converting visual features into audio features. The mod follows a philosophy of keeping the original experience of the game as much as possible, and so the focus primarily is to give information that would usually be provided visually, while you do the building and planning as usual. The mod also has several unique features, but they are meant to be alternatives to the vanilla features that are dependent on vision. The list of unique features can be found here.

As of the Beta release of version 0.10.0, the mod is in pretty good shape for offering a streamlined single-player experience, especially after the revision of the tutorial. The mod is also steadily developing its support for multiplayer and it is being designed to be versatile so that players with different levels of vision can enjoy playing together seamlessly.

The mod was started by Crimso in the summer of 2022 (Factorio Access). The original repository has development on pause and the "beta" repository managed by SirFendi has ongoing development since the summer of 2023 (Factorio Access Beta).
