Long Description

This mod adjusts map colors of Gleba terrain to represent function rather than appearance, making farmable land easier to distinguish from unfarmable land and water.

*When applied to an existing game save, please wait a minute for the Gleba map to be regenerated in the background with the new colors.

Features:

• Configurable map colors for yumako and jellynet farmable ground
• Configurable map colors for highland, midland, lowland, shallow water, deep water, and any other tile type not covered
• Automatically interpolates map colors for medium fertility ground
• Extra contrast can be added between configurable agricultural stages
• Automatically adjusts map colors for trees to mildly contrast with chosen and calculated ground colors

Note that this mod does not alter any visuals in the main view; it only affects the zoomed out map view and mini-map.
