How to show pollution in the mini map?

I would like to play death would with biters at max and the starting area at tiny. Zoom out and see there bases all around.

But I can't figure out how to get my pollution to show up on my mini map.


The game play I'm looking for is to build a base that is invisible to the biters.

Help please! I like to see my pollution in the mini map.

In options menu open Graphics and make sure that third option is turned on "Show pollution on minimap when detailed info is on".
Then in game you can toggle detailed info with Alt key.

Open map (M) and there is red button to toggle pollution overlay. The overlay is also visible on minimap.

This was how it was done prior to 0.15. In 0.15 it's an option below the minimap in the map.

I don't know why but I don't have the option in graphics settings and the red button in the big map only toggles the pollution in the big map not the little one.
I'm using the steam version on a win10 pc. I don't think I have experimental builds on. (I can build nuclear reactors.)

Again... Heeeeeelp!

What OP wants is to see pollution cloud in the minimap, not in the fullscreen map, if I understand correctly :
Like so
