SiBr3's Transparent Appeal

SiBr3's Transparent Appeal 1.1.1

This very simple mod makes some adjustments to the transparency values of the 'appeal layer' of the Settler Lens, with base game and Civ6-style colour schemes included. The original opacity made terrain underneath hard to see on unrevealed/unhighlighted tiles, which made figuring out where to send your settlers more difficult than necessary.

In version 1.1, transparency values now vary depending on whether the tile is revealed or not, which improves general visibility. I have also now included the original base game colour scheme, using the same dynamic transparency. Both colour schemes are in separate mod folders, which can be installed together or separately. If both are installed, just disable the one you're not using.

Amazing mod, now I can see the terrain and decide where to settle without changing lenses back and forth.
I wish there is the same mod for religion and missionaries.
Before this mod, I would find myself having to switch between lenses just so I could make sense of the terrain I was sending my settler to. Now it is far less frustrating!
Thank you! The default is atrocious and I was always having to switch away from my settler to figure out where to settle.
I skipped the earlier version of this mod because it was too transparent for me, but since the update it's cool. I love it especially for seeing rivers much more clearly.
When you have a unit within sight range of these tiles their color looks too washed out to me. I know this is a result of the way the game is designed but maybe it would be better if you could adjust your mod to be slightly less transparent.

Thanks! I'll look into it and see if I can find a better balance. If the opacity is too high, you can't see what's on the tiles, but if it's too low the green and white start to look similar depending on the terrain type.
Pas mal.
