Pollution Heatmap

by abucnasty · for Factorio

Multi-color pollution overlay for the map view, scaled to the surface's actual current max chunk pollution instead of the vanilla fixed 150 cap. Toggle on/off with a hotkey; scanning only runs while the overlay is on and you're looking at the map.

Multi-color pollution overlay for the map view, scaled to the surface's actual current max chunk pollution instead of the vanilla fixed 150 cap.

  • Toggle on/off with a hotkey (unbound by default - bind it in Settings > Controls > Mods)
  • Scanning only runs while the overlay is on and you're looking at the map
  • Color gradient adapts to your worst polluted chunk, so the map stays readable in both the early

and late game
