Factorio Forums

Hi, i wasnt there for few patched, now i got bugreporth about player.zoom so i was looking for api changes on forum and only thing i found was https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... layer+zoom
Does that mean there is no longer any way to control player zoom? (setting min max zoom)

I am in my mod using god mode with zoom limitation for speed. So if there is some workaround please tell me, otherwise i will remove zoom control :/

You can set the zoom level but you can't read it.

I dont understand, Is player.zoom variable still availabel but write only (wtf) or is there some new function like setZoom ( maybe even getZoom? )

The zoom level is part of the GUI and as such is not serialized or saved. That means it's not determistic. If you set zoom = 0.1, save and reload the game it will not be at 0.1.

ok thank you

there should be a way to make it readable.
would be a helpful api with many use cases (mainly workarounds for other things that don't work)
