Wire thickness Settings

Post by Squirrelly »

What I'm suggesting
Should be able to change wire thickness
How I think it should be implemented
In the graphics settings, we should have a slider that can be used to increase/decrease wire thickness. I myself think it should go down to 0.75, and up to 2.5.
Why we should have it
Sometimes circuit wires can be extremely difficult to see, because they can be very thin. This often leads to me zooming in a lot just to see what's going on, and even then its still a challenge to be able to see the wires. If they were say 2.5x as thick, I wouldn't have issue seeing.

With a slider though, everyone can get the wire thickness they want.
Pros/cons
Pros:
  • More visible wires.
    Not forced upon people who don't want thicker wires
Cons:
  • extremely thick wires might not be as pleasing to the eye

There is a mod, for 0.17, but I think it can be updated just by changing info.json
