Where's the gravel? [B19]

Description
1.0 version is available here!

The gray version of this texture is also available.

Simply replaces the default gravel texture with one that's easier to see. Why would you want to know where gravel is? It's only 70% fertile (compared to regular soil's 100% fertility). Any crops planted on it will grow slower so you'll want to avoid it.

As it's just a texture replacement, it can be added or removed from saves without issue.

Pink is the bane of my existence. :P If you want pink gravel, you're on your own. ;)

So you're saying there are the 2 options you gave, or a texture with a giant "G" for gravel on it, or manual search via the ground info part, okay, have you tried pink? :P
Thanks for your two options!

I tried a whole bunch of different colours when I first created the mod (including one that was a gray-brown) and I kept finding other ground textures that they were too similar to. These made the gravel too difficult to see at a glance and since that's the whole point of this mod, I discarded them.

So basically, this was the best colour I could find that still looked something like gravel to me. You're welcome to replace the texture in the mod folder with one of your own but this will be the texture/colour I'm sticking with for now. :)

True, and i also looked at both. I think the optimal texture for this ground type should be essentially right in the middle of all 3 textures. It's still ground/earth and it's fertile, so it should be about the same brown as the normal dirt, gravelly enough to be "gravel" and distignuishable enough to actually see a difference. But then again, i think they made it like that intentionally to force more attention to where/what/how you build...
Thanks a lot for the mod, i just recently started this game and actually didn't notice there being a difference until i saw your mod! (luckily i didn't have much gravel).

If you're referring to the colour being too much like sand, the first line in the description is a link to a gray version of the texture.

i agree with the tyrant... never thought i'd say that before...
