Updated for new game version

This is a fantastic mod. Hoping the creator revisits to make it work with the new Update.

Not anymore. Today the new Below & Beyond Update, killed this, and many other Mods. Just have to wait for an update. This one is listed as "Incompatible" :steamsad:
Kilof Aug 24, 2021 @ 5:54am 
I can confirm that it's still working fine :)
Wolvyreen  [author] Aug 15, 2021 @ 1:02am 
@So Slow
If you want further zoom then why not?
BottomScorer Aug 14, 2021 @ 11:43am 
Should we install this mod now?
GlassDeviant Feb 7, 2020 @ 9:56am 
No worries, I'll fiddle around.

Cheers :)
Wolvyreen  [author] Feb 7, 2020 @ 1:58am 
I made this mod when Surviving Mars was released. I can't remember to be honest.
GlassDeviant Feb 7, 2020 @ 1:36am 
k thanks, I'll fiddle a bit and see if I can block it somehow. Is 30k the max you've been able to let it zoom out?
Wolvyreen  [author] Feb 7, 2020 @ 1:15am 
@Indifferent That is in the game core. This mod simply changes the distance allowed for zoom in and out.
GlassDeviant Feb 6, 2020 @ 11:22pm 
Do you know if there's a way to simply stop the automatic transition to map when zoomed out max? I prefer to use the M key for that, so I can freely zoom in and out to move around the map quickly.
Wolvyreen  [author] Dec 2, 2019 @ 1:22am 
This mod literally changes the zoom value. nothing else. There are no special effects or textures affected by this mod or vice versa No update should break this mod unless they remove the ability to update the zoom value or put a limit on what the zoom value is allowed to be.

Sounds more like a driver issue to me.
Nimir-Raj Dec 1, 2019 @ 2:41am 
Can any one confirm a recent update broke this mod? When ever I zoom (in or out) the textures disappear.
Shadowmio Oct 30, 2019 @ 1:26am 
Great mod, Thanx !!!
WondrinOstrich Sep 27, 2019 @ 7:10am 
:))) great mod, thanx a lot !!
ParryThrust Aug 13, 2019 @ 1:25pm 
This is one of those where you go, "Now why isn't this how it shipped?"

Thanks a bunch!
Jon321 Aug 6, 2019 @ 12:35pm 
Doesnt appear to be working just now?
Lord KhaZimir Jun 2, 2019 @ 10:29am 
That's an hell of a mod. I feel i just lost 50% of my weight. Thx
grungydan Jun 1, 2019 @ 4:35pm 
I can't overstate how fantastic this mod is. From the first minute I started playing SM, the bizarre default zoom distance and the jarring "jump" in and out of full map view drove me nuts. One second into the game after installing your mod and it's like YES! Perfect.

Thanks!

2018-Nov-19: Is working.
And it is amazing. I basically wept with joy the first time I zoomed out AND I COULD ACTUALLY SEE what I had been trying to get a feel for the size of. :steamhappy:
Wolvyreen  [author] Aug 21, 2018 @ 3:44pm 
No it’s not that wide. And it’s pretty difficult to screw up a preview image so this has to be a bug in the game itself.
akarnokd Aug 21, 2018 @ 2:09pm 
I don't know; I'm assuming that preview.jpg is not actually 22864 pixels wide. I deleted this mod and everything worked properly after.
Wolvyreen  [author] Aug 21, 2018 @ 12:42pm 
Also. Please note that the error that you are posting is of the preview image that is displayed in the mod manager. Not in game.
Wolvyreen  [author] Aug 21, 2018 @ 12:37pm 
How can the mod cause you problems when it is not enabled?? If it’s not enabled then it is not loaded in to the game at all. If this mod was the problem then thousands of other people would have problems with their game as well.
akarnokd Aug 20, 2018 @ 4:57am 
Hi. Looks like this mod causes a lot of errors in the log for me and can't start a new game, even when the mod is not enabled (but others are):

[d3d11 error] c:\projects\sm-davinci\hr\rerenderdevice-d3d11.cpp(1465) : -1105128528 : An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function. (-2147024809)

Ok, this should be good to go again.
Wolvyreen  [author] Aug 7, 2018 @ 12:07am 
I'm looking in to the game version incompatibility issues.
Wolvyreen  [author] Jun 29, 2018 @ 10:46pm 
@RePo I tested the mod with a save game and a new game and it's working fine.
RePo Jun 25, 2018 @ 7:38pm 
wont work with new update??
Wolvyreen  [author] Jun 8, 2018 @ 11:17pm 
@XxUnkn0wnxX If this was an issue with this mod, it would be affecting 17498 other subscribers too.
XxUnkn0wnxX Jun 7, 2018 @ 10:29pm 
this strange, the issue only occurs when loading a save while in full screen mode, but when loading from window mode, zoom distance is increased.. can go back to full screen and still works but if save is reloaded issue occurs again while in full screen. (this only effects old saves)
XxUnkn0wnxX Jun 7, 2018 @ 10:16pm 
for some reason with my previous saves the better zoom is giving me a springing issue as I try to zoom out it springs back to the games original zoom. no issues with new saves just my old one I spent countless hours into!!!.....
sambair Apr 8, 2018 @ 4:41pm 
They increased the zoom in the base game, but I like to be able to zoom way further than that, so I'll continue using this mod. Thanks!
Marsian Apr 6, 2018 @ 1:23am 
Thanks for your work, no doubt it had an impact in the Spirit update camera changes.
Peter34 Apr 5, 2018 @ 3:37pm 
The Spirit patch notes say that they have implemented a better zoom distance, but it might not be as far as what this mod allows.
Wolvyreen  [author] Apr 5, 2018 @ 3:22pm 
Well. If it is then my work here is done. Every Modder loves to see their work implemented in to the actual game by the devs. So if they have implemented a better zoom that players prefer then I’m ecstatic!!! 😁
Bulldog Apr 5, 2018 @ 11:40am 
Is this outdated now because of the latest patch?
Wolvyreen  [author] Apr 2, 2018 @ 3:58pm 
Ty for your support. The more people who report them the more steam will take note.
[WPS] Lonesamurai Apr 2, 2018 @ 3:06pm 
aye, have done, just thought I'd let you know :)
Wolvyreen  [author] Apr 2, 2018 @ 2:56pm 
@lone. That’s been happening a lot. The only way we can avoid it is to report them.
[WPS] Lonesamurai Apr 2, 2018 @ 2:28pm 
just a heads up Wolvyreen, someones reposted this mod as yours, you may wanna report it
Wolvyreen  [author] Apr 2, 2018 @ 11:13am 
@Seed lol! that would be nice hey but that is kind of a different mod entirely.
Seed5050 Apr 2, 2018 @ 10:26am 
i really like this mod.thanks.
now i hope for a follow button so i can watch them same way CS mods did
Notorious Dobby Apr 1, 2018 @ 8:31am 
The limited zoom on the map was my only negitive thing I could say about the game, this MOD sorts all of that and you can really zoom out properly so you can see whats going on! Amazing job
