Red-green colourblind issues - help!

Post by tenuously »

Hiya! Hoping you guys can help.

My boyfriend is an avid lover of this game and he has issues with red-green colourblindness. The first thing I suggested was a mod to alter the colours and I've looked into things like Palette Cleanser but he's having a specific problem identifying the colours of red and green circuits while they're on the belts. Is there a mod that will allow him to alter this or any help that can be offered? I'm not hugely familiar with the game myself so beyond a Google search I haven't been able to find anything that might specifically help with this.

Thank you!! :D

Doing a research on the mod portal i found those mods :

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Colorblind
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ColorblindCircuitNetwork
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ColourBlindSignals

I don't know if it can help for this specifically, there are some more informations gathered in this post : viewtopic.php?f=80&t=22760.

I just created this mod for your boyfriend, hope it helps: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/colorblind_adv_circuit

By default it turns the red circuit into more of a dark-purple circuit. You can adjust the color in the mod settings, using a hex color to change it.
It won't look exactly the same inside Factorio, but should be close enough.

Thank you so so much for taking the time to do this! I've flagged this to him now, he'll install it. I'll get him to reply here again to let you know if it works.

Thanks mmmPI for your help also!

Thank you again for this, Mod has been installed and it's perfect, exactly what he needed. :D
