Title: [A15] Where is Rich soil?

Where is Rich Soil?
Are you tired of having to seek rich soil?
This mod changes original rich soil color to be darker to make it easier to find.

I was just on a tundra map being confused by how close lichen-covered dirt & rich soil are. I was thinking "nobody noticed how similar these looked while they were makin this!?", but I never once had a thought about changing it. Great job, we need more like you!

i think u mean "extreme desert". in "arid shrubland" it is useful. Still, you are right. Something shud b done about that. Where is rich sand? Where is rich snow? These are important questions.

Thanks. Steam is so convenient!

When can we expect the much needed "Where is the Geyser?" mod?

I thought deserts didn't have rich soil. In that case we would need to find the "soil".

I started playing a desert recently and I was having trouble distinguishing soil from gravel. Any chance you could help with that too? Maybe make gravel lighter?

Before now, I assumed that the lichen was simply covering up the rich soil.

Thanks, this is gonna be really helpful when I'm trying to avoid marshy soil.

I have this problem too, a little. I think it should be grayer, maybe turn down the saturation. I like this idea so much, I'm gona add it into this mod myself. Just on my PC, not uploading it.
