DO NOT UPDATE

UPDATE

Endoric: I just tried to go through the whole process to setup a account to upload mods. I have no clue how to upload it. The code below works though for B18.

if someone here claims to have fixed it for 18 just upload it to the workshop and include credit and a link to here.

B18 update coming anytime soon?

Woot!
Thanks for the feedback ZeProfessional, this (albeit minor) success makes me want to learn more haha.

@k1LLz0Rz

Your recent fix seems to be working so far with no problems. Will update if any arise cause I have no clue what I'm doing otherwise. Thanks!

@ebonite & Blaze

First off, thank you for giving enough info that I'm pretty sure I was able to figure this out!
I'm just learning how to tinker with XML files / just getting into modding, and want to learn properly.
Would one of you cats (or anyone else with experience / skill in this area) mind telling me if this edit looks right in order to get this working with B18?

@Reaper & Enlon

Assuming I've figured this out properly, the directory you're looking for to edit the XML file (at least on my current setup) is roughly as follows -

C:>Program Files> Steam>steamapps>workshop>content>294100>783475829>Defs>TerrainDefs

Then right click on the XML file and tell it to "Open With" Notepad, so you can edit things!

So, TerrainDefs and /TerrainDefs to Defs and /Defs

EdgeType
RenderPrecedence
PathCost
TerrainFilthDef
Fertility
TakeFootprints

all have the FIRST character changed to lower case. Remeber to get BOTH instances of the above items (on either side of the data)

<EdgeType>FadeRough</EdgeType>

becomes

<edgeType>FadeRough</edgeType>

Same here i cant seem to find what it wants me to lower case, then again i have very little programing experience outside some basci java classes. (prefer hardware knowledge now)

had a crack at it again but i same to be making a balls up of it :<

managed to change terraindefs to defs, altho now the problem is dealing with the issues have things being case sensitive :S

tried to get this to work, tried to follow the steps blaze stated, but didn't seem to help

Works in B18, you just have to manually edit the Terrain_TS.xml file in the mod as the game tells you (ex: replace both instances of TerrainDefs with Defs, EdgeType with edgeType, etc)

Any plans for beta 18 update? :)

Oh thank god having to mouse over mud and rich soil immediately next to each other was giving me conniptions!

I can confirm that, too.

This mod works fine in .17

Can more people please confirm that this work without any problems in 0.17?

0.17👏👏👏👏👏

Appears to work fine in 0.17

Please update! :V

I agree, update please.

It baffles me this isn't in the vanilla, please update if you can.

omg why didn't the devs thought about it ? finding rich soil is so annoying

This is what I was looking for!Thank you.

best mod ever :D

Mod really makes the good soil stand out. 10/10

I think I need it. Here is a comparison picture. Look and get it if you need it.

I loaded the A16 release without this after using this mod in my A15 game. It appears that the base game has darke enough soil now that I can easily spot the difference. I'm guessing that this is no longer necessary, no?

Is this still required? I saw in the changelog that he made rich soil darker

This is good

partially colorblind as well

Very usefull for Colorblind <-- Like me

Can u make this posibble with ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=817359148&searchtext= ) ?
And ty for this helpful mod ^^

Mine says 140% and I never installed this mod. That's just part of the core game.

Yah if it says in the bottom left corner saying "fert 100% that is rich soil"
HOWEVER due to this mod I have encountered some where it says "fert 140% rich soil"

lol I didn't even know there was rich soil

Forgot to mention I'm color blind but not fully more like shades of color.
That is why I said it looks like mud.

No Jonathan, its more brown than mud

Question?
Won't this mod make the rich soil look EXACTLY like the mud and marsh?

(Simply concerned)

the gound its sooo brown that my guards want tho shoot it

So excessively helpful! Thanks.

i'm colorblind, thanks !!!!!!!!

didnt know it was in the game before i found this.

Must have for color blind

A bit too dark for my tastes but i will use it as its nevertheless very useful!

This mod is amazing! Thank you so much!

Does this work in conjuntion to Tilled soil? does it become super good for growing if, say, I tilled some rich soil?
