Thank you, this mod makes a good point.

Updated!

Will this be updated to 1.6?

Updated for 1.5

Not perfect, but much better. Thank you Zylleon for being the only modder to fix the dumb region names

would love one like this that just removes them entirely, but this will do for now.

the colour and animal names for everything was fun at first but it gets annoying to look at after a while. I get that one mountain chain can be called the racoon mountains or whatever, but every single region? Thanks for this mod, how the hell havent i found this earlier!

Updated tags to remove the out of date warning.

Basilisk and ?!?! are correct that the code is still fine, and I would be very surprised to see mod interactions unless the mod also changes world feature names

Barring some sort of absolutely bizarre mod interaction, it's pretty safe to say this runs with nearly anything. And I'm glad for it, because this has been a staple of my install for years.

I've been using this in my playthrough and haven't had any issues aside from the out-of-date warning. Very noticeable on the world map!

Already made a new game, but when I start over I'll try see if there's any problems.

I forgot this existed!

It should be compatible with 1.1 and 1.2 as-is, report back if there are problems.

@Lurmey yes but "Purple Monkey Elbow Forest" sounds fucking stupid

Also is there a 1.2 update/is this mod compatible with 1.2?

1.1 when?

I like people changing whatever they want to about the game, but I don't believe any amount of adjustment is going to make everyone happy with the names. Throughout history they often come from simple descriptions of stuff in the native language, translated over time, or from the names of notable people, whose name also often come from old words.

For instance, Mount Everest was named after Colonel Sir George Everest, the Tibetans call it Chomolungma’ which means ‘Goddess Mother of the Earth’, FOUR elements are named after the small Swedish town of Ytterby, the famous Welsh town "Llanfair(etc)gogo­goch" literally translates to "The church of St. Mary of the pool of the white hazels near the rapid whirlpool and the cave of St. Tysilio the Red" and many, many more.

Names aren't just thought up on the spot, because we're really not that creative. Names in stories and sci-fi are almost always derived from old languages or combinations of old and/or current words.

The original names are kinda cheesy tahts true xD Thanks for this :) I wonder is there also a mod that would allow renaming too ?

hey man just wanna say super appreciate this, keep it up :)

These are good suggestions, I'll give it some thought!

I understand this was a one time thing, not much more you could or want to do, but maybe go on reddit, and some other websites with rimworld presence, and ask the community for name ideas. Then you can go into whatever file had these color and animal names, and put community ideas in the file, i know this would be hard, because im guessing its listed by what is most common at the top, or some number assigned to each one, for how often it shows up, but it would be something you could benefit from as well

Can't wait to dive into the Hairy Swamp.

maybe a version with a bit more western names, like: The red Dunes or Eternal forest. sounds way better than old dazzling ouminin

could you make a this, but with color in names? i can see the Great Elephant Expanse being silly, but the Great Red Expanse sounds pretty gnarly

i loved the shitty, now i guess theres more chance for some of them, maybe you could make a version with your own added names?
