About Useful Map Colors
From Factorio Mod PortalConsistently color-codes constructions on the map for clear recognition. Custom colors can be configured.
Latest feature: Rails are now able to be colored!
Consistently color-codes constructions on the map for easy recognition. Belts are yellow, red, or blue; electricity-related things are yellow; turrets are bright green; walls, concrete, and train rails are different shades of grey, etc. No more magenta oil wells! :D
Colors can be added to mod entities (or to override vanilla ones) in the config file.
