Is this related to why the pollution display is less smooth in the megamap? Used to fade away to near transparency, but now it looks like it used to when hitting spawners, either pretty red or fully transparent.

That's a feature, to make it easier to see the borders

I constantly use the debug menu to see what chunks have pollution as it's much easier to view than faded red squares. It also works on the minimap which is something I wish showed pollution again.



Also I'm the 10,000th post, where's my prize?

Kind of, yeah. They tweaked that while they were adjusting the other stuff. The goal is to make the edge easier to see, which it certainly is. Personally I think it might be just a little bit too intense, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Can you please tell me how to do that. It might help someone else too.

F4 brings up the debug menu. Depending on the tab you can always have 'show polluted chunks' enabled, or the debug tab which you press F5 to toggle on and off. You can also enable the FPS display here, but do so in the always tab.

I personally unchecked everything in the debug tab except showing polluted chunks, then I'll toggle the display with F5 as the blue squares are intrusive if you're checking the map for other things besides pollution. You'll understand when you try it.

Makes sense. It was mildly difficult to see.

Having a literal red outline might work as well. Just outline borders between zero and some.

Changes

• The Install Mods GUI will now automatically install required dependencies.

OMG!!! Love this!

Would love this too if it extended to upgrading mods. Which it (as I just found out) doesn't. So, any mod that gains a dependency in an upgrade does NOT get that dependency auto-installed. And finding the right mod to manually install is still a bitch.

If you have the mod installed, if you are on the Manage tab, and view the mod, you can see the dependencies on the details pane...with an arrow link to the left of the dependency. If you click on that link, it will take you to the install tab with that mod highlighted. Just tried it with an optional dependency and it worked very well....I still love it!
