I just adapted the shader for 2.0 and tuned the parameters to what looked more visually pleasing to me, I feel the slight perspective makes gameplay more immersive

would be more impressive with a "before/after" , just saying this because i don't see the difference
It look like the shadows are a little more pronounced in the bottom right direction ?

Maybe it takes a bit of experience playing the game to notice? The perspective is different.
On another note, I wish there was more indication what recipes/modules the buildings had without using alt mode, because the graphics are cool, but you rarely get to see them.

Some people find it hard to see things from different perspectives. All they see is shadows.

The sprites have been squished slightly to represent a “One Point Perspective”, aka 3D View using Factorio’s 2.5D layered sprites. Vertical lines are no longer straight - Tiles are angled near the left/right Edge of the screen; and are smaller at the Top (farther away) than the Bottom (close to the camera).

I've recorded a video that should make the effect easier to see

Thank you ! That makes it more obvious, near the minimap in particular with the motion i agree it look beatiful x) not a problem of tilted screen anymore
