Duplicate of https://mods.factorio.com/mod/whiter-lamps :ChibiSmug:

ah i checked the 1st page of "lamp white" before making this mod, apparently that one only shows up there when searching for "white lamp"

oh there's a "LCD's Default Lamp" somewhere near the bottom mixed in with other obscurely named lamp mods apparently too.

eh what's done is done, its up on the portal now and there is no delete button, thanks for bringing it to my attention tho.

If you could add support to other lamp mods, that would make it better than the others! Like Larger Lamps 2.0 :)

i do actually, in final-fixes it does a check for any lamps that still use that exact shade of yellow and resets them to pure white as well.

haven't tested it with that mod, but if you load them together it should work, let me know if it does or not.

Oh you're right, it actually does work! That's fantastic! Well that makes this mod the better choice for me so thank you!

The only annoying part is that blueprints keep their old color since I guess that's handled differently, but I'll just have to batch convert them somehow.

i guess i could write a command to update held blueprint and/or all the lamps in the world i guess but it wouldn't really feel like a clean approach to the problem, dunno how many blueprints you have anyways.

It's fine, I'll just manually edit them with some blueprint decoder. I do have a lot, but it wont take long :)

However speaking of blueprints, I do wish someone would make a proper blueprint editor mod. I've been thinking about making one myself at some point though. Just something crude, like being able to search and replace in blueprints, since I know it's not currently possible to modify the blueprint GUI (I'm assuming.)

search and replace? you can use an upgrade planner directly on your blueprint item

I had some things in mind the other day that the upgrade planner can't do. I don't remember right now though lol.

Rather than updating people's blueprints, it might be preferable to just check when a lamp is built, if it has the exact "default" color, update that color to white.

yeah i could, but that wouldn't solve the root issue of the blueprints being wrong so if it ever gets exported to a world without this mod installed it'd still be broken, keeping it like this would incentivize updating the blueprints at least.

Yeah I'd rather just manually update my blueprints. I don't think any mod should necessarily touch blueprints without asking. Best case you could include a hotkey or button to convert a blueprint held in cursor. Like how Space Exploration mod has a button to convert normal rails into space rails for the held blueprint. Very handy :)
