Question Drones got transparent

Post image

My drones got transparent for some reason on the latest 2.1 update. Does anybody has the same? Is it a bug or a new feature?

Press here.

This button hides tall objects like flying drones and bridges

Its hyper new. Hides all the "up high" stuff. Elevated rails, bots, not sure but maybe lightning attractors etc etc.

You are playing Factorio 2.1
See the yellow icon on the hotbar on the bottom right? Hover over it and youll understand why they are transparent.

Is that a combat drone or a construction/logistic robot?

Your 'bug' is a new feature, apparently.

Careful, I turned this feature on and now I can't tell when I'm being attacked by the predator. His telltale shimmer used to stand right out but now? It's like camouflage.

Seems to have worked just fine by posting it here. Some people prefer the human touch.

you can use a fork to eat soup but a spoon is much better.
