Disable the GUI for Screenshots.

Hi there,

i have a small question, so is it possible to hide the GUI of the Game itself, to take a clean Screenshot? So id didnt see the Inventory, Map and Weapons anymore?

I would say the mod, which created the trailer should be able to do it: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =87&t=4273

It's 0.11, so will not run with 0.12, but the difference could not be big.

/c game.take_screenshot{}

/c game.take_screenshot{ show_entity_info=true }

It saves to %appdata%\Factorio\script-output

Unfortunately this does not capture the screen you see, but rather a zoomed view of your charackter.

The minimap autohide mod can hide almost everything (ctrl-t to toggle tech, ctrl-m to toggle minimap, ctrl-b to toggle all stuff at bottom of screen). The one thing that mod doesn't provide a way to hide is the buttons (bonuses button, trains button, etc.).

I would rather use a command instead, but thanks anyway.

There's also a vanilla shortcut to hide the GUI now. By default it is set to ctrl+shift+F4 (don't press alt, as this will close the game).
It was added in Factorio 2.0.

Posting this here, as this is one of the top Google results, and I was looking for the shortcut.

Alas, Ctrl+Shift+F4 also hides the montage that runs behind the main menu GUI -- I was hoping to leave it running for a while, akin to a screen saver.

Edit: There should be a hidden button to "jump into" a save game matching the montage being displayed... hell of an easter egg.
