[16.2] 1 tile water hardly visible

Post by bretay »

This is more an annoyance than a bug per se, but with the new water/ground transition graphics 1 tile ponds are nearly invisible. In the linked screenshot, there is a pond to the left of the cursor, which prevented me from placing a miner where I wanted it. This wasn't so much of a problem before, but with the new graphics it took me a full minute to figure out there was water there. It's not a huge issue, but I feel like ponds like this should be prevented from spawning, at least inside ore fields if not everywhere.

Can you confirm that this is an old map? What mods are you using?

Ah, actually, you're right, this is an older section of the map. It must have been generated before the update. Thanks for pointing that out.
I'm dumb. Oh well.

They may not spawn in new maps. But you will end up with these impossible to see ponds quite often now when using landfill, I think.

I believe that's only if you used landfill on it prior to 0.16 (although I may be mistaken)
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
