Guys, I appreciate your game support over the years. I love this game. The LCD text is headache inducing. Please tell me how to fix this. None of the mods claiming to eliminate bloom and fix text has done anything to help. I have attached a screenshot. That panel is all default. Please tell me how to get the LCD panel text as clear as the other text.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for reaching our forum with this problem.

Looking at the screenshot you shared, the text size on the LCD panel appears to be set quite small. Before we investigate further, could you let us know if there’s a specific reason why you prefer or need the text to be that tiny? Extremely small text can often appear blurry due to how the font is rendered in-game.

As a first step, I would recommend adjusting the "Font Size" and "Text Padding" options in the LCD’s settings. Increasing the font size even slightly and tweaking the padding often makes the text significantly clearer and easier to read.

I’ve included a few examples from my own tests where the text is edited and enlarged this way, and in those cases I’m unable to reproduce the blurriness you’re describing.

Could you try making these adjustments on your side and let me know if the text clarity improves?

Thank you in advance.


Kind regards,

Those are default settings on the panel in the screenshot. Let me get some screenshots as all LCDs are like this in comparison to other text, eg. GPS tags. In my own programming, I often render text as an overlay so general scene texture modifiers don't affect it. This is what it looks like vs the GPS text which makes me think the GPS is a separate render layer. Let me get some other screenshots ensuring a pure vanilla environment.

I made a short video comparing LCD text with default settings. Note the GPS text being very clear. Even the large text is blurry on the edges. Vanilla in creative mode, no Sun motion, AutoLCD script to display "power" on all screens.
