Improve Radar rendering in Map View

Post by wasstraat65 »

TL;DR
Change the color of radars in the map view to a different color than the 'default blue'

What ?

I would like to suggest a violet-like color, which is distinguishable from the pink that oil deposits use.

The current situation. It is hard to tell where my radars are located.

Radars are shown in a different color, making it obvious from within the map view that I have got 2 radars very close together.
Why ?
As radars are more directly identifiable on the map, you can easily tell where too many radars are placed too close by. Since this is usually due to legacy reasons, one may want to clear up clustered radars and use them more sparingly (= less energy usage).

Have you tried my mod? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Enhanced_Map_Colors. It colors radar on the map as well as other items.

Has there been a discussion to integrate some of the advanced coloring into the vanilla game?
Just as the post says, the current all-things-blue map theme is very readable.
