Beautiful Outdoors

Enchances pawns' perception of nature.

Simple mod that adjusts beauty and ugly modifiers for terrain and flora. Most notable changes:

• flowers are significantly more beautiful now;
• most trees have beauty increased to 2-4 range. Oak and Teak trees have 5 beauty;
• grass and most bush plants have 1 beauty. Berry plants and healroot have 2 beauty;
• water has overall beauty increased to 4 with deep ocean line having beauty of 6;
• soil, sand and ice get neutral beauty, rich soil gets 1 beauty;
• mud and marsh are really disliked by pawns now (-4 and -6 beauty);
• rafflesia is adjusted to -12 beauty to correspond its description;
• rock chunks are more tolerable with -1 beauty (against -8 in Vanilla. Ouch!).

Recommended to be used with GreenRim for more vegetation.

FAQ

1. Are there any hard incompatibilities? No, this is a simple mod to tweak beauty values via patching. If there are any problems during patching - try to move my mod at the end of the load order. If the problem persists - report it on the mod page.

2. Can this mod be added/removed from existing games? Yes, it can be safely added/removed.

3. What is the difference between Beautiful Outdoors and Nature is Beautiful? Slightly different philosophy. I wanted to enchance pawns' sences of natural beauty while providing some drawbacks to it. Also this mod does not modify cleanliness of the nature and does not touch stone tiles and filth.
