Wouldn't this give players an advanatge by allowing them to see which tech points are in use? IE, instantly know when a hive goes up?

Thanks for this very nice mod. Makes it alot easier to spot enemy and friendly players by a glance. That extractor points are shown on the map is great if you dont know the map that good. Please keep up the good work! :)

red aliens can sometimes blend in with cut-off cyst chains so it can be annoying, I made them yellow/orange/red scheme vs. marines teal/blue. eggs are colored pink. would like to see what you've come up with for whips and turrets. keep up the good work

Hello gliss. Thanks for the input. I'll look into it. For the next release I've actually changed some colors to distinguish whips and turrents. I also tried to outline some stuff but that didn't work out. Might be because of icon max size, but I'll look into it!

nice work.

if you're looking to make improvements, I would suggest an icon rework to help distinguish the different marine and alien structures. when there are a lot of clumped up buildings it just looks like a mess of useless information. maybe turn the whip icon into a triangle, crags into square, shift into circle? shit I might do this
