Colour Blind Mode

[XanderS]

I would like to start off by saying that PZ has come so far in the last few years.  Indie Stone have done a fantastic job, so thanks for all the hard work, so please do not think my suggestion is a criticism. 

 

So my suggestion (or plea)  is to add a colour blind option/mode. It does not need to be for the entire game, just for the Protection/Temperature pictures in the info panel would be nice.  I have Achromatopsia, that is to say I do not see any colours at all so I have to ask my wife or son what colour body parts are as I find it very hard to tell them apart.

 

It doesn't need to be anything complicated either, maybe using numbers on body parts as well as well as colours.  Something along the lines of 1-5 cold / 6-10 normal / 11-15 hot.  That's it really. 

 

I know that this is a pretty extreme/rare form of colour blindness, but quite a few people have differing forms of colour blindness (red/green or blue/green for example).  Using numbers on the information panel would be an easiest way to help people no matter what form of colour blindness they have.  I currently have to ask my wife or son what colour is currently on different body parts as I find it very hard to tell them apart.

 

I sincerely apologize if this has been suggested before and I did do a search before I posted.  This is not game breaking for me, so again thanks for all the hard work from the devs to the community.

Luckily I don't suffer any color blindness, but this might come handy as well! https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Color_blind_mode

 

Would be nice for PZ to have those options added to PCGW when it gets them!

Thank you for linking that, I haven't seen it before.  It is spot on regarding the implementation of CB modes simulating rather then correcting for it. 

 

I remember playing BF;BC 2 and seeing the colour blind option, as it was the first time I had seen that option.  I tried it out, but it didn't really help me (unsurprisingly of course), but it did help some of my friends that were red/green colour blind, and it made the game more enjoyable for them (less team kills lol). 

 

That's why I thought using numbers or letters etc. on parts of the body, as that would work for all forms of colour blindness in one foul swoop.
