I've noticed that everyone's player colour (in YT vids) seems to be different. Mine always default to some muddy orangey-brown. I understand that game.player[1].color= can be used from the console to change the color, but what are the value ranges, and does it work in single player or only multiplayer?

I have tried game.player[1].color={g=50,b=200,r=200,a=.9} and game.player[1].color={g=50,b=200,r=200,a=.9}, both with and without prefacing it with "/c".

I have tried 0 as the index for player[].

The response is alwaus Error (yadda...yadda). LuaPlayer doesn't contain key 0.

Players, not player.

So I am stuck with orange until and if they decide to let you pick your colour in the new game setup?

No.. I was implying that it should be:

/c game.players[1].color={g=50,b=200,r=200,a=.9}

Edit:
Now that I think about it, if it's single player you don't need the [1] in there. So it'd be just:

/c game.player.color={g=50,b=200,r=200,a=.9}

Both commands work either way.

Also this might help you with the numbers: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... ypes/color

Great, I'll try that right off.

I play single player, I tried changing my colour and it only worked when I put in the [1] Either I am doing something wrong (which I am half willing to believe) or else there is some reason the number of players needs to be stated even if there is only one player to choose from *shrugs*

Thank you all for putting this information up, I'd never be able to change the settings on my own.

did you use game.players or game.player ? with players you need the [1], with player you shouldn't

Currently in 0.17.31, all you need to do in single player for simple colours is (/color green) for example

Use game.player in multiplayer if you want to modify yourself. game.players[1] is the player that made the game world.
game.player refers to the player that is typing that command into the console.

But if all you want is a color swap then use /color <color_name> as IrishWolf said. It doesn't disable achievements and works in multiplayer worlds where you don't have console "/c" command rights.

Blame IrishWolf.
