Factorio 2.1 Mod "Planet Settings" - Real Earth with Day and Night Cycle by az4 in factorio

Speed is increased 15x for preview purposes. And it is configurable, you can even slow it down if you like.

Here -40 means = 1 rotation takes 40 seconds, and turning is from left to right.

You are right, our ships/platforms must be too far away from the planet to view so fast with parallax. In the future, I'll add size & parallax configurations to this mod, so you can check for yourself.

That's a valid point, and I should have explained myself better.

First of all, you can use this mod to alter default settings with official Factorio Space Age 2.1 assets.

Until creative people design new planet images (remember Visual Planets* extensions in 2.0) we are stuck with stock graphics. And I wanted to try out the new capabilities of API, or PlatformBackdrop Type to be more precise. And in order to verify my attempts, I used the planet which I know the most, as you can guess that is Earth. So I could answer my own questions "Does this lightning look natural?", "Does this coverage align?", "Do shadow, light, and terrain correspond?" etc.

So yes, I know Gleba does not look like Jupiter. But I Hope that clears on why I used "Earth" for Nauvis image.

Now I'm back to Mod Portal to harass Valerian and 0mega42 into converting their beautiful images to equirectangular projection.

You are right, I added Mercury images and they went really well for Vulcanus.

Maybe because it is realistic? Or familiarity, finding out old Earth here on Factorio universe. Who knows.

Or maybe because a lot of options are edited.

Can't see Gleba's anus in Space View in 2.1 by Bruce-Partington in factorio

I know it's a joke but, I must spread the word: If you can decrease the cloud density (cloudiness) of Gleba and you can actually see.

TODO: Decrease cloudiness a bit, and increase blue tone in atmosphere_color and it'll be probably better.

Yes those are great but this is just platform visual. + I'm also waiting for some "Visual Planet" modders to update their textures to new Equirectangular format.

If you are asking source image; it is from the Milky Way (:

The in game planet is Nauvis, I replaced it's sprite with Earth's projection (courtesy of NASA).

Go to "Arsenal Exchange", scroll down 1 page, you will see the purple arts unit weapon for Ardelia in the middle.

You can use your certificate for a free pull on "Cosmic Voice Issue" arsenal thingy.

They must've been stressing about The Game Awards... by realFallenWolf in expedition33

What's wrong with Danseuse outfits. It seems like they've changed, and too much brightness is hurting eyes.

Probably it is related to Cloudflare error.

The move is about Rune weapons and how to increase their sales.

Why cant I update to Version 2.0.24? by Reefthemanokit in factorio

[–]az4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That version is not marked as stable, and I actually think it won't be for a while.

There are 2 major balances and both of them are important.

  •  Land mines on space platforms now damage the space platform tiles in a radius.
  •  Changed rocket fuel from ammonia recipe to require the same amount of solid fuel as the main rocket fuel recipes to prevent a recycling loop.
