Vintage Grampa Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 I am red/green colorblind, which makes it REALLY hard to distinguish between the red and green voxel outlines when clay forming and smithing. A setting under Accessibility would work if you don't want to change the colors for everybody. 4 1
programmer-S12 Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Maybe having one of those colours blink or fade between lighter and darker shades might help too?

A setting under Accessibility would work if you don't want to change the colors for everybody. There is already a wireframe colors setting in the Accessibility tab, albeit there's only three presets and not free selection. There's also wireframe thickness next to it. If you need further accessibility tweaks, you can also try checking out the Accessibility wiki page, which you can also access through the Accessiblity tab in the settings. That said, certainly wouldn't mind some mroe settings added to vanilla. Smithing: left - preset 1; middle - preset 2; right - preset 3 (there is some added color difference due to different item temperatures on different screenshots). Clayforming: left - preset 1; middle - preset 2; right - preset 3. Wireframe thickness on preset 1: left - 1x; middle - 2x; right - 4x. Edited February 6 by MKMoose 3
Dilan Rona Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Its a solid suggestion. The wire frame is not always clearly visible. I have that problem when knapping stones outside when not under shade. Easier when its dark.
Vintage Grampa Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 I used +5 wire frame thickness to smith a hoop, which did make it easier to see which outlines to fill and which to remove. I think this will help me avoid making mistakes.
Vintage Grampa Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 I am retired product design engineer and always willing to help. If the developer wants a colorblind guy (red/green) to test drive candidate changes, I will give you analytical feedback.
Broccoli Clock Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 I think it's great that there are those accessibility options, but they do seem a little limited. Perhaps they are specifically tailored to common colourblind conditions, but even without me suffering such a thing I find I have to change the wireframe colour/width based on what shape, colour and light level I am clay forming or iron smelting in.
