Description
Edits the water of kenshi to have more variety and look better. Choppy ocean waves, windy lakes, flowing rivers and more.

-----Features-----
-Works similarly to SCAR's Water Optimizer, but focused on visuals more than performance. Converts water in all biomes to .dds format.

-Makes the oceans appear choppier and wavier, all oceanside biomes should match together.

-Makes the Swamps have a consistent water texture.

-Adds water textures and turbulence maps to biomes which were missing them. Rivers now have a flowing texture in Okran's Pride, Wend, Vain, South Wetlands, The Hook, and Spider Plains.

-Reworks Stobe's Gamble to have better looking water.

-Removes scum from Shem

-Reduces the depth you can see into water in all biomes

-----Notes-----
Performance gains from water optimization mods are very small if noticeable at all. This mod is primarily a visual mod.

This mod will always be imperfect. View distance is limited and there are seams in the water in parts of the map, I also cannot control the direction which water flows so some rivers are a bit strange. These are vanilla problems which can't be fixed as far as I am aware.

Can this be used with Scaraw's water optimizer, and does it require importing?

Know which mods are best?

Sneaky ones. Those you install late at night after some beers or 420, then fire up the game next day and after an hour playing and not realizing, be like: "OOOH! That is so much better/ prettier/ faster than vanilla, why they didn't do it like that to begin with?"
This is one of those mods. Huge improvement over vanilla visuals, and bonus points for removing the pug-ugly reflections from my favourite little fish ponds in Shem^^.

Thank you very much for making & sharing this.

Cool mod. World is more lively with waves, it's not an almost dead world anymore.

yes but as scar has his water optimiser apart of his performance fix mod id like to know if your mod and his conflicts since i dont use just his water optimiser but his total performance fix.

@Daemonslime this does the same thing as SCAR's water optimizer but with more features.

does this conflict with Scars Water Performance mod?

@Daemonslime it doesn't negatively effect performance on my computer, just havent benchmarked. any impact should be minimal anyways.
