Smooth Terrain

Smoothens naturally generated terrain using diagonals.

The Better Mountains mod showed me how much better RimWorld can look without its blocky visuals. But it also made the rest of the world, especially terrain and coastlines, look even more blocky by comparison.

Because of this, I started using NANAME Floors + a buildable terrain mod to manually smooth out entire maps with diagonals, but this took ages per map, which is why I made this mod: to automate the process and enhance the terrain generation for a more organic-looking world.

Features:

Uses NANAME Floors' diagonal floors to smoothen naturally generated terrain.

Setup:

On booting up the game, this mod will pre-load tons of "blended terrains" in all orientations & combinations as set in the settings; however, this only includes vanilla terrains by default.

You can manually add new "terrain blend pairs" for any terrain types you wish would smooth together, or if you don't want to do all that, turn on the experimental automatic toggle, to make it automatically support any modded natural terrain at risk of ruining performance.

Existing saves:

Terrain smoothing (by default) happens on map creation, but can also be performed on existing saves by pressing the "Smooth current map" button in the mod's settings.

To uninstall this mod from an existing save, press the "Unsmooth current map" button in the mod's settings, save the map, reload the map without the mod, then a single error spam will happen upon opening, and then it seems to be fine.

Note:

For these types of overhaul mods it's impossible to predict all edge cases, but it's been stable for me with over 500 active mods. Let me know if there's any generation-based issues, and if you have issues related to the tiles themselves, comment on the NANAME Floors mod.

Recommendations:

Because people often ask what graphics mods I use:

• Better Mountains

• Better Trees

• Clean Textures

• Fog Color Changer
