No Shadow Mod

[Orillien]

Can someon write a mod to remove ALL the shadows ? Or at least the shadows of the robots. I have multiple of dozens of thousands of them and the fps goes down dadurch. Removing the shadows would help keep the FPS a bit higher.

Isn't there a graphic setting for this?

You can have better : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/invisible-robots
No visible shadows, not even visible robots.
But I think it won't change the performance of your game.

Not quite sure about that. The mod removes all animations from the prototypes, so I'd expect that making the bots invisible would have an effect on performance.

However, removing just the shadows won't. Apparently, if you use a certain animation in the prototype, there must be the matching shadow animation:

Code: Select all

Error while loading entity prototype "construction-robot" (construction-robot): Construction robot working frames doesn't equal construction robot shadow working frames

Of course, one could replace the original shadow graphics with a blank. But that will make the game only visually cleaner (no shadows moving through your field of view), while the animations still would run. So no performance gain.

No idea what you mean, it's all in english as you can see. xD And no there is no setting for this.

You were right, it doesnt change the performance. I got 50k logistic robots, and yes i need them all, and my fps are around 30.
