This should've been a base game feature from the very start. Thanks for fixing this annoying part of the game!

works?

Hey dude thanks for making this mod, a QOL must have in all my playthroughs. I hope your month is off to a good start

Yeah, that's pretty much how it shook down. People love to participate, and if there's an easy way to do it they'll do it.

So people started copy-pasting a more rude version of my comment here for some reason?

J, if you'd like it to be more transparent, feel free to make use of the Creative Commons license that I've put this mod under, and make your own version that is more transparent.

PLS MAKE IT MORE TRANSPARENT

This mod is useless with the new update, but I will always remember how popular this was at the beginning.

Thanks! Installed.

I mean, not really. This mod is still more transparent than vanilla.

I have a question, is this mod useless with the new update? I can't find the information anywhere.

This mod seems less necessary with the new update, but I will always remember how popular this was at the beginning.

Who knew such a tiny tweak could be this much of a gamechanger? Fitting bedrooms out is SO much easier now!

LOVE IT!

Yep, drived me nuts. Thanks!!!

How has this not been added to the core game yet. It's a must mod.

@scottbot Yup, the star count is an average of the up and down votes.

For what it's worth, DF has yet to crash for me at 50+ hours, with this mod and several others running.

How do I give this mod 5 stars? Just hit the upvote button?

Somehow my game crashes more often than with than without this mod, at least that's what it feels like.

Make this vanilla, pleaaaaase...
Love DF, but whoof, the smooth markers make things impossible to keep track of.

Thank you for this, it was much needed

Gonna give this a pass given the issues with it, but it's definitely a much-needed change. I sure do hope it comes to the game officially soon. It's one of the few interface/graphical issues I have with it.

@aanthony3 Thanks, I've added a link to that one in the description, so hopefully anyone else who wants to see the priority numbers will be directed to your mod.

@Trainzack Just a heads up, I created a version of the mod that splits the difference between base-game with very little transparency and this version where the priority numbers aren't visible. I missed being able to see the priority numbers until something like this is worked into the basegame (hopefully). https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2903048024

Please tell me
Asking for a friend

I don't see any change. Start a new world but all the mods doesn't work for me

@Trainzack thanks for the clarification! I thought so and indeed it was, I guess it's a bug from the game itself because my other mods are all UI mods:
- Smoothing designations
- Interface tweaks
- Reduced z level fog
- Squad and burrow icons

@nuiben Had the same issue. In my case, it was caused by having the keyboard cursor enabled. You can check if you have it enabled in Settings->Game. Hope it helps

This mod cannot affect how the dwarves assign labor. It only affects the UI.

@radoguy21 lmao I have the opposite "problem", 2 people assigned but everyone do that, idk if it's this mod but that's what's happening to me lol

Hi Trainnzack :) Thank you for this mod. I have a problem though, my dwarves never do any smoothing despite having the box ticked in the labor settings. Any ideas?
Thanks :)

Anyone else seeing that construction prefabs are now invisible when placing? Noticed both my farms and wall plans are invisible until I confirm to place them and confirm.

You dont know how bad you need this until playing the game.
First saw this mod pre play and thought how bad could it be....
>>Im blind<<

@Urist The numbers will be as transparent as the area behind them. The more you can see the numbers, the more there's going to be an area of the background getting in the way when you're not looking at the numbers.

@Trainzack Thanks for checking it out. Am I getting it correctly, that if you were to enable the numbers, they would be too transparent to see properly? Or would it be worth a shot having transparent numbers instead of no numbers?

@ScientistMan96 thanks!

@Urist I took a look, and it seems that the base game only makes the designation numbers as transparent as the texture underneath them. That means in order for the designation numbers to display properly, there needs to be something underneath them. I can't see how to fix that without making the experience worse when looking at the designations without the priority.

I'm going to classify this as a base-game bug, and not something I want to fix here. I'm sure it's possible to make the priorities visible by making the upper-right hand corner of the graphic non-translucent, but I don't want to do that in this particular mod. If you want, you are free to make a copy of my mod, change the graphics however you like, and even upload it to the steam workshop (so long as you credit me).

@Urist McSpaceminer
I didn't notice it before, but you seem to be correct. Thank you for reporting this issue! I'll see what I can do

@Dwarf What it does is make the normally opaque designations a lot more transparent.

In vanilla, all those small grey squares you see in the preview image are completely opaque, meaning you can't see what's underneath which makes doing anything else in that area near impossible until all smoothing is complete. This mod, as the name implies, let's you now see through the smoothing icon.

Hello, could you please post a before/after picture? I believe it would help understanding what your mod does.

@Trainzack thanks, loving the mod

This mod looks great (and I had no trouble installing it on an existing save), but it seems that using it, you lose the ability to see priorities while smoothing. Any chance you could add those priority numbers in a future update, @Trainzack ?
