About Alternate Alert Icons

From Factorio Mod Portal

Replaces base-game alert icons.

Motivation: Triangle alert icons are too large, and, when many alerts are shown, also visually polluting. Often the case with electricity alerts.

Notes:

  • Two Opt-in alert-arrow variants are provided. Image shows base VS a variant.
  • Inkscape vectors are included if you wanna modify the icons yourself.

Known Issues:

  • Save-independent settings are not supported. With the mod enabled, saving, quitting, changing settings, then loading, displays an annoying dialog, prompting you to inherit the save's settings, or ignore doing so. This is a quirk of the API that, as far as I can tell, is unfixable.

Thus, the mod hardly works in multiplayer. You may choose to circumvent sync issues by manually replacing local files at:

  • .\Factorio\data\core\graphics\icons\alerts
  • .\Factorio\data\core\graphics\arrows

Thanks: ko3dzi's and Extended Evolution Settings, Identifier's Cleaner Icons, Ismoh's Coop Secure Spawn Areas, Grandseiken's Ultracube, PD's Wire Re Icon, Silari of No Power Icons.
