I love Factorio but the graphics look a bit like 1996 SVGA 256-color sprites (edit: by which I mean, I feel like there is noticeable dithering). I haven't played the new "Factorio in space" bits, maybe it gets out of the browns-and-beige color palette a bit more?
- btmiller 2y agoI love the art for two reasons: 1. It’s simple, charming, and nostalgic. 2. I view it as a defense mechanism against the onslaught of modern gaming that’s locked in a race to the lowest common denominator (i.e. “Stay away! This game isn’t for you!” ;) )
- marcosdumay 2y agoYou don't like the design aesthetic? Because your phrased your question like people that complain about the level of detail. Yes, factorio is ugly (although some trees are beautiful). And yes, that's a design decision. There are some mods that reskin it. Personally, I don't think any of them are beautiful.
- duskwuff 2y ago> by which I mean, I feel like there is noticeable dithering Any chance you have the game set to use 16-bit color?
- kzrdude 2y agoFor Factorio 2.0, there's a lot of graphics that have gotten higher resolution upgrades. Earendel has blogged about working on this. (The Space Exploration mod author, who also works for Wube). Terrain looks better, trees look better, too, I think it's a pretty big change.
