// Enhance dark areas

The problem with your comparison examples is they are arguing against features already present in the game and the fundamental core mechanics of what the game is. My argument is against NEW things being added that negate downsides or disadvantages.silverkitty23 wrote: Not that "negating nighttime altogether" should be ruled out instantly (even though that wasn't Xterminator or I said at all) because maybe it's only meant to be a hindrance at the start of the game. "Using a pick takes time, you really have to work at a coal patch to get coal. What you want a drilling platform? But that negates the picking at coal altogether with no downside." "When the game starts, you have to carry materials around and insert them into machines yourself. Belts and inserters negate that altogether with no downside."
one question tho.maniak1349 wrote:I always though that nightvision should look something like that:Without NVG
The game is unfinished. No feature is frozen. And there's still no reason to assume that darkness has to be a permanent disadvantage - maybe it's only meant to be a hindrance at the start, like how everything else gets easier as you go on.Dasani wrote: The problem with your comparison examples is they are arguing against features already present in the game and the fundamental core mechanics of what the game is.

You keep falling back on telling me that I want something I don't want. I'm completely fine with dark areas being difficult to look at and not in full color.Dasani wrote:But I don't think full color, unimpaired nightvision should exist

Ok, not so extreme!

New Night Vision and ThermalIt works really well with some of the other mechanics, like rail signal color, fire, headlights, and so on. Not all the images I edited turned out very good though, so I decided not to share them
Honestly I find visual noise effects distracting... I always get the feeling my graphics card croaked or something if it starts to dump pixels in random color all over the screen.PacifyerGrey wrote:I really like the idea of a visual noise. So I would say the idea of monochrome + noise for areas with light<50% would be really nice.
Currently I never use night vision as I find everything with night vision just not as detailed and I don't like the green tint.MiloRK wrote:Although I agree with some of the new night vision criticism--it could use some work--I really like the thinking behind it! Rewarding placement of lighting is an interesting idea, and other optic benefits could add to the usefulness of researching and wearing night vision goggles. Here's my stab at a night vision concept:
Maybe you could upgrade your optics to get thermal vision:
Great Friday Facts, as always!
