Cheers! It's something I've been missing ever since 2.0, not to mention I'm pretty sure I saw someone commenting/requesting this on another mod pointing out that this is also an accessibility feature for color blind people.
I am color blind as well, so I had my own unpublished mod that adjusted this already, and a bit more too. This is clearly better, since it feels a lot more integrated when you can zoom in/out and roughly see the consistency between the views. Hope it's what you wanted!
Yes it's perfect <3 I went ahead and found the aforementioned user and pointed him this way! Thank you again for adding this!
You may want to consider making the color customizable so people can set it how they feel suits them best (same with opacity)
Edit: I noticed it gets tinted from things like turret coverage making it pink-ish, is this intended? I believe other such mods made it so that this (the fog color) had priority over the other overlays.
I'll consider the color picker; as for how it interacts with the rest of the "layers" in Factorio, there is a setting if you want it higher/lower than some other things, but otherwise I'm not exactly sure what you're meaning.
Yeah, exactly that, the layering order. And now that you mention it, it would be nice if this was exposed/customizable within the mod, for example me personally would like it to be above things like the turret range.
If you can add this then it would be very much appreciated, if not no biggie, the color change is still a huge improvement over the default anyways.
Right - the layer order is already a setting. I could expose more options for it, but I started from the top, so it would mean adding more options for lowering the cloud.
So it is already at the top? strange then, maybe i just forgot how it looked before (via other mods) because i could swear it didn't end up looking pink back then. Welp.
