When setting player.zoom to a value below 1/32 (≈ 0.03125), the assignment is silently ignored, even if the value is within the defined player.zoom_limits.
This happens regardless of the current controller_type, and even if zoom_limits.closest.zoom is explicitly set to allow lower values (e.g. 0.01 or 0.00390625).
No clamping or error occurs — the assignment simply has no effect.
Expected behavior:
player.zoom = x should be accepted as long as x is within the range of zoom_limits.closest.zoom and zoom_limits.furthest.zoom.
Current behavior:
All values between 1/256 and 1/32 are ignored when assigned via player.zoom, even though they are allowed during manual zooming and respected by the engine when scrolling.
Positive note:
Thanks for the eagerly awaited readable player.zoom value — finally!
Also, zoom_limits turned out to be an unexpectedly flexible and powerful feature, enabling completely new modding possibilities once understood correctly.
Tested on:
Factorio 2.0.47
Reproducible with character, remote, and editor controllers.
Code: Select all
player.zoom_limits = {
closest = { zoom = 10 },
furthest_game_view = { zoom = 0.1 },
furthest = { zoom = 1/256 },
}
