Make the black tile grid shown in pause mode or via debug view show between terrain and buildings instead of above everything.
Wut?I'm sure everyone knows and loves the terrain grid for precise placement and easy measurement of distances. Currently the only way to show it without pausing the game is using the debug options. Personally i play a lot of the time with the grid enabled, roughly 30% of my time in factorio is spent with the grid visible. But personally i think it would be much more easy to use/view if it was displayed below buildings. Which i think could be improved by having the render order something like this instead:
- Tiles
- Decoratives
- Rocks, Trees
- Tile Grid
- Shadows
- Buildings
- Cables
Also due to the overall darkish theme of factorio i'd sometimes really like a white grid. So an option to set a custom color (rgb?) for the grid would also be pretty awesome.
TL;DR:
- Make the grid a standard (non-debug) feature.
- Allow chosing a custom grid color (moddable only or via confic.ini would be enough...)
- Render the grid between landscape and buildings.
(Mockup. Grass should be below grid instead of above) Thoughts, Opinions?
