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. It can also adjust the lightness of farmable and unfarmable wetlands and deep water in the main view to raise their contrast.

*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
• Configurable contrast in the main view between fertile and infertile wetlands and deep water
