Beautiful Water

What does it do?

Makes water tiles have a beauty value, as it should.

Changes water tiles from their default 0 beauty value, to:

• Shallow Water: 1
• Shallow Moving Water: 1
• Chest-Deep Moving Water: 5 or 15 ††
• Shallow Ocean Water: 5
• Deep Ocean Water: 25†
• Deep Water: 15†

Why use this mod?

I designed this because, while making a water-side cabin, I realized that they do not appreciate all the work I'm putting in just for them to have a cool home. I thought it only made sense for ocean water to have a much higher value, because of the pretty scene the pawns should be able to see from it. Unless you build a wall in the way or something, you monster.

Footnotes

† Water that you can't walk in is treated as a wall by the game, and therefore the beauty for these tiles only goes to a depth of 1. When designing this mod, I didn't know this, so I when I came to this, I decided to adjust the values of these tiles much higher.

†† I use a mod for impassable chest deep water, which similarly turns these tiles in to "wall-like" tiles. So, while using this mod, it makes sense to also boost it. But, I know most people do not use this mod. I added some code to check whether or not this mod is loaded. If it isn't, I use the default value (5). If it is, I use the updated value (15).
