[A11Y] always day mode

[sliva 11]

I need a mod or setting that completely disables visuals related to day night cycle. I want it to be always daylight. In the previous version I've used this mod:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rohlinheatagtmuf_Hdhaotaotfnllsape-atnsasri
but it disables achievments.

Please share a mode if you know one.

^^^ do note ... most of these commands will also disable steam achievs as it is what those mods do for you .....

I think the only way to make it look like day (or close to it) without disabling achievements is to either spam lights on the ground around your base or build night vision equipment for your armor.

They ruin base design and require space. I use night vision, but it is not a true color game.

I might add, that it has to work with SA surfaces

yes and no .... night, specifically, does not bother me all that much .... I'm currently running vanilla .... railworld ... really slowly to see what no mods is like with the expansion .... but I am researching before expanding ... biters got me a few times so far while hunting for them and have not yet got to a new planet ... xD

starter ore-patches are kinda running dry and about to explode my base ... once I set up smelting and a mall and them other mines first

but I'm not afraid to use mods and/or commands in most savegames as I don't really care all that much about achievments myself .... just not for this game

you do you boo ;)


^^^ so yeah most of my playtime was either using mods or commands to give myself more fun ... whatevs that means to you .... do it

maybe save your game as "xxx-test.sav" and just experiment .. you can always go back to your vanilla game if you enable the 'mods per savegame setting' easily


TLDR:
only matters if you care for digital trophies

I do not really care about them. I just wanted to keep notifications popping up so I knew my progress and milestones. I did a playthrough with the said mod, it was alright.
The game is like visual scripting. I don't know why they make it hard to read your designs and force WASD when point and click would also work, but I digress.

'/godmode' is a thing? but I digress too

I mean ... getting bots and using map mode is kinda like playing god ... if you get there ... xD

maybe push a bit more ?
