Map Mode Framework

Current Version: 1.2.0
This framework is continually being developed and optimized. Feel free to suggest features or report bugs below.

Adds switchable map modes to the world map as well as C# utilities for mod authors to create their own map modes. By default, this mod contains 9 map modes:

• Default - Nothing drawn, i.e. the normal RimWorld world map.
  
• Biome - Provides a dropdown of all naturally-occurring biomes. Tiles of that biome are colored green.
  
• Temperature - Tiles are drawn by average temperature.
  
• Elevation - Tiles are drawn by elevation.
  
• Rainfall - Tiles are drawn by rainfall.
  
• Growing Period - Tiles are drawn by growing period.
  
• Animal Commonality - Tiles are drawn according to commonality of the selected animal.
  
• Plant Commonality - Tiles are drawn according to commonality of the selected plant.
  
• Features - Tiles are grouped by "world features" or landforms.

I made this since I was working on a "faction territory" mod and I wanted players to be able to switch between "territories" and the normal world map without cluttering the UI too much by adding buttons and WorldLayers all over. To my knowledge, there isn't any unified/organized "map mode" mod that I could take advantage of to achieve this, so I made this framework to serve as a base for me as well as any other mod author that may find this useful. Considering RimWorld used to have map modes in earlier versions of the game and the textures are still in the code, I went ahead and implemented them (particularly temperature, elevation, and rainfall).

You are free to make translations of this mod through your own mod or by sending a pull request to the repository. Languages supported by the mod by default are the following:
Spanish - Translation by Ferchu

This should be compatible with any mod (in that it shouldn't really break anything). However, specific considerations and notes for select mods are listed below:

• Geological Landforms
  - Patched so that landform textures are also toggled by the "Draw Hills" setting.
  - Planned: Map mode for finding specific landforms.
  
  
• Save Our Ship 2
  - Map modes aren't seen from the ship, but otherwise work perfectly fine when in the world map screen.
  
  
• Rimworld Exploration Mode
  - Patched so that textures, labels, and tooltips won't be drawn over unexplored tiles.
  
  
• ReGrowth: Core
  - Patched so that World Beautification textures are also toggled by the "Draw Hills" setting.
  - Note: This includes trees/forests since they're rendered on the same WorldLayer as the hills/mountains.

Kindly report any bugs and incompatibilities with other mods and I'll see what I can do.

• Can I add/remove this on an existing save?
  - Yes, this can be safely added and removed mid-game.
  
  
• Does this affect or change world/map generation?
  - No, map modes only render textures according to a tile's terrain/characteristics on top of the world terrain.
  
  
• Why are there settings to toggle world objects and landform text when they can already be toggled using the buttons below the pause/play menu?
  - I honestly didn't see them until around 5 minutes before releasing this mod lol.
  
  
• Can I see that territory mod you're making using this framework?
  - Okay, just a peek. Hope it also gives you an idea of what can be done using this.

The mod does not save anything to your save file aside from the map mode handler itself (which should be safe to remove anytime) and map mode button sorting, so unless stated otherwise, all updates should be compatible in-between saves.

Version 1.2.0
- Updated for RimWorld version 1.6

Version 1.1.2
- Added support for Spanish

Version 1.1.1
- Fixed compatibility patcher to load patches regardless of load order

Version 1.1.0
- Changed WorldLayer caching and regeneration to be handled asynchronously in a background thread. This should allow map modes requiring complex operations to load in the background instead of blocking the main thread and freezing the game while the map mode is loading. It will still stutter for a little bit on extremely large worlds since building meshes needs to be done on the main thread. This is expected.
- Added growing period, animal commonality, and plant commonality as new map modes.
- Map modes that take a long time to regenerate/switch to such as growing period and regions are now cached and start caching in the background upon loading/starting a game. These can be toggled in the mod settings.
- Added ability to sort map mode buttons by dragging. Sorting is saved.
- Made the map mode bar/UI draggable.

Version 1.0.0
- Initial release

In terms of basic functionality and tools, the framework should be pretty much complete. Simple quality of life features are planned for both users and mod authors, particularly:
- Changing the color palette of certain map modes
- Add text meshes for "region" map modes so they show the name of the region
- Add visibility conditions for mod authors to specify when certain map modes can be accessed
