I don't know how this changed yet. I know it did change. I'mm almost sure current remote view opening will not work, probably crash.

Also this is apparently called map view now.

This is labeled sighted because remote view has all sorts of implications on camera and blind players can't check that.

OK, so I think our remote view was what was formerly called zoom_to_world which allowed limited interaction at a distance. The way sighted players accessed it was by zooming in from the map view in an area covered by radar. 2.0 removed that in favor of remote view, where the player.controller_type is set to remote. Ideally Factorio access would be able to support all of the controller modes as other mods might use them. I don't know if we actually care about using the map, but from my understanding if we use set_controller with remote then the player position and center of the screen move like they would normally except with no character causing collisions.
