Beautiful Outdoors

Description
Enchances pawns' perception of nature.

Simple mod that adjusts beauty and ugly modifiers for terrain and flora. Most notable changes:

- flowers are significantly more beautiful now;
- most trees have beauty increased to 2-4 range. Oak and Teak trees have 5 beauty;
- grass and most bush plants have 1 beauty. Berry plants and healroot have 2 beauty;
- water has overall beauty increased to 4 with deep ocean line having beauty of 6;
- soil, sand and ice get neutral beauty, rich soil gets 1 beauty;
- mud and marsh are really disliked by pawns now (-4 and -6 beauty);
- rafflesia is adjusted to -12 beauty to correspond its description;
- rock chunks are more tolerable with -1 beauty (against -8 in Vanilla. Ouch!).

Recommended to be used with GreenRim for more vegetation.

FAQ
1. Are there any hard incompatibilities?
No, this is a simple mod to tweak beauty values via patching. If there are any problems during patching - try to move my mod at the end of the load order. If the problem persists - report it on the mod page.

2. Can this mod be added/removed from existing games?
Yes, it can be safely added/removed.

3. What is the difference between Beautiful Outdoors and Nature is Beautiful?
Slightly different philosophy. I wanted to enchance pawns' sences of natural beauty while providing some drawbacks to it. Also this mod does not modify cleanliness of the nature and does not touch stone tiles and filth.

No idea. But it shouldn't matter. The mod doesn't add anything new, it only does patching.

The mod is being sorted by Rimpy between Core and the DLCs. Any idea why?

yeah, 1.6 feels much better now. That said, I updated the tags for 1.6 and once the new DLC releases, I will go over all the new additions :LIS_poker_face:

1.6 is only fixing beauty for dirt, sand, and rubble outdoors, so I imagine this mod is still quite useful if you want to incorporate overall more appreciation of nature.

all of the pawns are canonically basement dwellers so they despise nature and want to play League of Legends instead

Thank you so much for the 1.5 update!

It's my mod causing the issue. Quick and dirty fix is to just require mine to load first, I'll look at implementing some checks to prevent this in the future.

Honestly the feature probably shouldn't even be part of the mod but it's from the original so I keep it.
