About This File
A redditor requested a mod for those with color vision impairment, so they could better know when beefalo are in heat. Beefalo are critical to many gameplay strategies, and if you must disable the ruddy buffalo, then they cannot reproduce. I also added (optional) HUD features for color cues that fell squarely in the green/red/grey range that is difficult to see if you experience red or green weakness.
If you are colorblind, experience a color vision impairment, or simply prefer not to rely on color queues, please give this mod a try.

- INSTALL ONLY ONE VERSION OF THIS FILE. I have provided both the Beefalo+HUD file, as well as the Beefalo-Only file in case you already have a HUD mod or simply don't want the HUD options
- Mod has been tested by me with both Vanilla and RoG versions of the game
- Mod is not guaranteed to be compatible with other HUD Mods (altering the hud.tex file)
- Mod will not be compatible with other mods that alter the animations of beefalo in heat
