Hi

Thanks a lot for making this mod, it was incredibly difficult to see the difference in yellow / green from the default Factorio graphics

I also had difficulty with the colours of this mod but one quick settings change allowed me to set the green dots to blue to make it very clear

I recommend adjusting it as the default to help others if you are open to the idea

blue = {0.0, 0.0, 0.9, 1}

Thx!

Where did you change the color? Because I am colorblind and this is just so close to being a sanity-saving mod.
Edit: figured out to edit the LUA file in the mod archive in the mod folder. Changed "yellow" to {0.9, 0.5, 0, 1} and it is a sweet balm to my soul.

colorblind support added in 1.0.3 (and 1.0.9 of notice me senpai)

Thank you!

Would you consider renaming the settings?

Green -> Placement possible (green)
Red -> Placement forbidden (red)
Yellow -> Soil required (yellow)

As it stands, I had to set "green=blue"
And settings like this can be kind of confusing without the correct context.

I also would not mind different default values for the different states, but I'm fine with picking my own.

Also … can we maybe introduce different shapes for the different colors?
I am thinking of filled green circles for "yes", empty yellow circles for "need soil" and finally red crosses for "no"
Could even use the unicode symbols ⬤◯✖️

that feels like a visual nightmare tbh, shapes act really weird at certain zoom levels.

More visual nightmare than trying to build on Gleba while colorblind? Encoding information in hue only is just terrible for colorblind people. Coupling hue with shape is much better, design wise, as it could even work in grayscale.
And I'm not saying those are the only reasonable shapes. A square could work at any zoom level.
