Beautiful Outdoors

Description
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.

The mod has build-in support for
- Alpha Biomes
- VGP Vegetable Garden
- VGP Xtra Trees and Flowers
- Vanilla Plants Expanded
- Vanilla Plants Expanded - Succulents
- ReGrowth: Core and Framework
- ReGrowth: Boreal Expansion

- ReGrowth: Tundra Expansion
- ReGrowth: Desert Expansion
- ReGrowth: Temperate Forest Expansion

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.

all of the pawns are canonically basement dwellers so they despise nature and want to play League of Legends instead

Thank you so much for the 1.5 update!

It's my mod causing the issue. Quick and dirty fix is to just require mine to load first, I'll look at implementing some checks to prevent this in the future.

Honestly the feature probably shouldn't even be part of the mod but it's from the original so I keep it.

@Redphoenix @Chemmech
Yeah, that error means another mod adds Beauty value to the Filth_Sand.

I made a lot of checks to not cause incompatibility if my patching happens at the end. However, if my patching happens first, and then another mod tries to add Beauty without a proper check... it will cause an error. I can't fix it on my end - the author of another mod needs to add a proper check on their end. Or you can move my mod to the end of the load order :LIS_butterfly:

I am also getting said error, but my GitHub verification email wont send so I will just +1 Redphoenix here.

EDIT: Moving the mod to the end of the load order fixed it for me.

Updated for Rimworld 1.5

Changes:
- fixed outdoor beauty for Marshy Terrain
- added Ideology patch
- added Anomaly patch
- severely reduced ugliness of the sand, rock and slag rubble (pawns won't mind it too much now, especially if it is outdoors)

@Suit
Pretty high odds. I am considering to play at least a little bit of Rimworld on 1.5 release and gonna update some of my mods with that :LIS_poker_face:

@Deadmano
Thanks for pointing that out. I will fix it with the next mod update!
