I'm one of those people who likes a bit of immersion time to time and flashing icons trigger me, A LOT! Is there an option to disable flashing icons like in image below and make them only appear in "Additional information mode"? I couldn't find anything related to that in options menu and I think it would be great addition to game. Without mods please!

Cheers!

I would love a toggle for the flashing icons too - maybe Ctrl?

They are very distracting when you are building - and they block the Alt icon.

The thing is... the flashing icons and damaged healthbars are like error displays; you can easily see at-a-glance why something isn't working without needing to mouseover and read the infobox.

Red blinking icons and damaged healthbars should always be shown; as these states are critically important.

Yellow icons should have a set of radio buttons in options: "Always Show (Default)", "Show in Detailed mode", and "Hide in Detailed mode".

...

A better long-term solution would be to do some graphical work to make the warning icons immersive, where the machine itself would self-illuminate with a projector of some kind. Instead of the current UI-level icon overlay.

Also the check box for "show warning signs" or "blink warning signs".

guys just get bots with repairpacks and all these will dissappear

Guy's, just to be clear. I don't want health bars, warning and error icons to disappear.
I only want checkbox in interface menu that disables these bars when not in (alt mode)!

How the screenshot tool takes this graphics?

The number one tool for getting in game screen shots is Ctrl-PrtScr and MSpaint.
