g Planet jumps to new location when clicking and dragging

21 days ago

Whilst it still is slightly flickery when you use WASD, it is much smoother compared to clicking and dragging the camera with the mouse, which causes the planet to teleport to a different location each time you let go of LMB. This effect is distracting enough for me personally that I had to remove the mod, unfortunately. I’m not sure if it’s possible to change this behaviour to make it no longer distracting by tweaking the settings.

Firstly, I should note that you can disable parallax in settings if you primarily use dragging to move around.

See the mod page Parallax section, quoted below:

Dragging the camera won't update the planet's parallax position until letting go of drag. This is an issue for other kinds of mods too, and afaik there isn't a fix available in this version of Factorio. WASD works fine, but if you primarily use dragging in remote view then you may want to disable parallax.

And also see some of the already posted discussions regarding this topic:

And also a bunch of comments mentioning this on Reddit. (Though this one isn't fair because why would someone look there before posting a bug report.)

It's a known issue for multiple mods, and Factorio needs an API update to let us fix it. Hopefully it gets added in the future.
