Enemies need highlighting in UI.

[Sam Look]

I don't know if it's just me, but when random enemies appear on different parts of the map it's way too easy to miss some of them and realise that half the colony is dead because you didn't know the maddened boomrat included another group on the opposite side of the map.

I feel the base game should make it more obvious where enemies are, but if anyone happens to know a mod that already does this I'd be greatful.

Let's you zoom out to see the whole map; at which point the enemies will appear as red dots. It doesn't include maddened animals for me (just raiders and stuff) but I think that's because turned a bunch of animal settings off in it.

Sadly no enemy highlighting of any sort in the vanilla game. Manhunters are bad, scattered mechanoids are even worse.

Camera+ is indeed your best bet for a fix.

IIRC manhunters are listed in the wildlife tab with a red lightning bolt icon, human enemies have a red name that's usually pretty easy to spot by zooming out. I use Camera+ though, on default settings it should show manhunters as red dots as well, at least it does for me and I don't remember changing any settings (but I've used it for years).

Depending on the terrain the red names are actually incredibly hard for me to spot as I have mild colour blindness.
I'd much prefer big indicators of some type on the edge of the screen that basically scream "thar be enemies this way!" like you often find in a lot of games.

I'll try Camera+ and see where it gets me.

Okay I got the idea to search for Minimap and found.

This works great for me, I can make the enemy icons huge and bright and really easy to see!
