Hi Fun Pimps!

Recently discovered this game and I gotta hand it to ya - I love it. 😅 it’s everything I wanted from Minecraft and Fallout combined. Seriously amazing.

My one quip - I have low vision and some of the visuals are hard on me. So, suggestions:

On PC: when the error dialogue on load pops, it’s in a red text that is layered over the loading screen. It’s currently unreadable. As a low vision user, I need a way to read that text more legibly, which may involve the color/size of the text as well as its location on the screen. My suggestion would be a modal instead of the scrolling text layer, with a black background and white text.

In general: dark games are hard to see (intentionally and I get that). I always set out to find a headlamp mod asap or if I’m on Pc, I just add one in. But it would be nice if we could choose to start with a headlamp mod or make it so that all head gear acts as though it has a headlamp. I know I can turn off the progression so I can craft right off the bat, but I want the progression - I just also want to be able to see. It could be a setting we choose in the map config, but something that would let me keep night, but have some light.

The interact zone on plants is really hard, especially mushrooms. Could we have a setting that allows us to increase the hit box for items? Or add an outline/highlight around things so I can see what I’m interacting with?

Thanks for looking and again - amazing game. ❤️ thank you!
 
Just as a side note... you could also use a torch early on until you find a helmet mod.
Alternatively, you can craft a bunch of candles, put them in your toolbar, and when needed, stick them to walls.

Cheers :)

Click to expand...
When the console opens like that, there is a button at the top right of the screen that will open on your PC where that log file should be, so you could always open that in whatever text editor you prefer to make it easily to read through.

Adding a headlamp as a starting item would be a simple xml mod to make.
 
If you ever receive an error message, you can press F1 and click the pop out in the top right corner. This will take you to your logs folder. Your most recent one should have the error, and you can use any log reading app of your choice which will allow you to zoom in to your heart's content. I personally use Visual Studio Code.
 
Idk if you have messed around with the brightness in the graphics menus, it helps with the darkness I believe, I have set mine to make my game darker in the past.
