Factorio Forums

Hello, I recently updated from 0.17 to 1.0, and across all my saves and new games the darkness is drastically reduced. Here you can see a save screenshot taken in 0.17, and the save loaded and then saved with 1.0. Whenever it is nighttime I can see clearly, without need of lamps or night vision, I was wondering if this was intended. If so I have some objections. It could be the color changes as detailed in factorio blog post #320 (https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-320), however it seems more drastic than the example there. My thanks for helping with this mystery, sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

Well, this is intentional. Not my call though.

I see, thank you, I shall make further comments in the "balancing" forum.

If you want the night to be dark again, you could have a look at some mods.

I really hate the new "bright nights" and I tried all the mods that you recommend but every mod makes the night "Pitch Black" there is nothing between the normal bright (daylight night) or modded (pitch black night). I only want the old nights back.

You can mess with the picture settings. I saw a dude use this to make it pitch black everywhere there wasn’t lights but you can probably tinker with it to just get darker nights.
