Beautiful Water

Description
What does it do?
Makes water tiles have a beauty value, as it should.

Changes water tiles from their default 0 beauty value, to:

* Shallow Water: 1
* Shallow Moving Water: 1
* Chest-Deep Moving Water: 5 or 15 ††
* Shallow Ocean Water: 5
* Deep Ocean Water: 25†
* Deep Water: 15†

Why use this mod?
I designed this because, while making a water-side cabin, I realized that they do not appreciate all the work I'm putting in just for them to have a cool home.
I thought it only made sense for ocean water to have a much higher value, because of the pretty scene the pawns should be able to see from it. Unless you build a wall in the way or something, you monster.


Footnotes

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. When designing this mod, I didn't know this, so I when I came to this, I decided to adjust the values of these tiles much higher.

††
I use a mod for impassable chest deep water, which similarly turns these tiles in to "wall-like" tiles. So, while using this mod, it makes sense to also boost it. But, I know most people do not use this mod.
I added some code to check whether or not this mod is loaded. If it isn't, I use the default value (5). If it is, I use the updated value (15).

Thanks to Oken for making the thumbnails, and for helping decide on the beauty values.

Wow this is awful. My game wouldn't even generate the planet with this mod enabled :(

Actually the dev console popped up to spit out a bunch of chestdeepmovingwater red entries on the title screen, so it wasn't hard to imagine the culprit.
Weird how this mod breaks differently for people.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS MOD, MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW WHY THEIR GAME IS NOT WORKING AND WILL STOP PLAYING BECAUSE OF THIS!

I don't think I've ever seen such a small mod completely break entire games before.

10/10.

This mod is utterly broken, and i spent two days narrowing it down to this, because i didn't think it was possible. I don't know what you're doing but you're a terrible coder if you can break so many things so badly, and still upload it for the public to use.
