Beautiful Water (Fork)

Description

Git Repo: Github[github.com]

What does this mod actually do?
It assigns a beauty value to water tiles.
Type of Water:
Beauty Value:
Shallow Water
1
Shallow Moving Water
1
Chest-deep moving Water
5 or 15 [1]
Shallow Ocean Water
5
Deep Water
15 [2]
Deep Ocean Water
25 [2]
Marsh
-1 [3]
  1. There are mods that make Chest-Deep Moving Water impassable. If they are installed the beauty is bumped to 15
  2. Water that you can't walk in is treated as a wall by the game, and therefore the beauty for these tiles only goes to a depth of 1.
  3. Marsh has an in game default beauty of -3, but this only applies indoors.


Why was this forked?
The original mod was erroneously marked as compatible with Rimworld 1.1 despite it not actually supporting 1.1.

When the original was enabled on 1.1 the original would cause:
  • Errors on startup
  • The breaking of world generation

So how does the fork fix these issues?
It was honestly a really simple fix. All that needed to be done was to make a minor refactor to the Defs that changed it from relying on the Mod Check library to instead using the built in FindMod Patch Operation


Compatibility
Basic functionality of the mod seems to work fine on:
  • Beta 18
  • Beta 19
The automatic patching for the Impassable Chest-deep water mods has not been tested on these versions. There will be errors on startup as those versions do not support the multi version mod system.

Works alongside Beautiful Outdoors
I would greatly appreciate it if and when you run into issues if said issues are reported on this thread

It's so simple that I see no reason why it wouldn't. Unless you had mods that added new water types.

is this or the og mod working in 2023?

Chill. You are creating content for free for all of us, and people who are afraid of errors really should just not use mods.

Original mod author here.
First, it works on 1.4
Second, I'd like to thank Nathan for taking up the mantle of maintaining this, however small or large that task may have been.
And third, I'd like to apologize for having a bit of a mental break of my own in the past. If my false updates in the past affected anyone's saves, I'm deeply sorry.
Have a good one.

turrets can also fill you with a sense of security and comfort, it's a to each their own situation, same thing with anything.
Part of why I find beauty being numerically calculated strange

turrets can look off-puting and unnerving since they remind you of survival and peril

need mod for make turrets not so ugly (-20 is odd)

for some reason i always just assumed rimworld water is polluted and stinky, grabbing this mod anyways because why not give my colonists a treat

*i meant specifically for the water beauty values. I believe having both in at the same time wouldn't affect the other modifications like tree and flower beauty.

Since both mods are so simple I don't believe that there should be any issues running them together besides the possibility of beautiful outdoors completely overriding this mod entirely .

Not sure, this is very simple and simply overwrites the vanilla beauty values of water tho.

Having a quick look at beautiful outdoors it appears to be very similar.

It does however also appear to patch the water values so I believe that if you ran both at the same time only the one closer to the bottom of your mod list would take effect.
