Description
Changes Z-level fog from sky-blue to a dark shading for better underground spaces. Removes blue from ramp and shadow overlays as well. Credit to Munashe's Reduced Z-Level Fog mod for showing how it is done.

For even less blue, check out https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2899977151.

in my infinite wisdom, i did not foreseen that this would also change the outside fog

This is a side note, not a mod request at all, but I wish they implemented toggle-able outside fog - seeing the ground disappear into a blue or black void when you're only a few levels above things outside is meh. Makes it hard to appreciate the beauty of the map (though stonesense helps this significantly)

I think this is an excellent mod! Does what's on the tin and does it very well.
That being said, I find for me it creates the opposite issue visually when working on layers outside. It is kind of jarring to go up a layer from my embark point and suddenly it looks like its the middle of the night. For some people this will not be an issue, and for even more it may be overlooked completely if they never build higher than ground level, but for me I have found it more distracting than the blue hue of the vanilla fog. If this could somehow work that the blue hue remained when outside, but the dark hue was only for underground/inside, I think it'd be perfect for me, but based on what I've picked up that would not be feasible to pull off.
Great mod though! Seriously! Its BEAUTIFUL for underground use and I don't want to discourage anyone from using it!

What a difference such a little tweak can make to a game. Love it.

Does it still work?

If you can remove the Z-Level Fog for ramps. Can you shape the Z-Level Fog for ramps?
What if you used different sized fogs on lower z-levels, just on the side of ramps to make it look like a proper down ramp?

Hello. Can I use this mod in an already created world?

It would be nice to do the reduced z-level-fog for outdoor spaces and the dark-depths for indoor spaces if at all possible. If you're just replacing a single image I guess it's not though :(

No worries, thanks Bourbon!

This mod and Reduced Z-Level Fog work by replacing the same vanilla image. In my case the image is made black instead of blue, in their case the image has more alpha transparency. It would not be possible to make them run side by side; one will overwrite the other.
