ImpalerWrG Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I find the first overlay for oxygen breath-ability to be very poor, it gives us only One piece of information, the oxygen concentration with only 4 gradations. I would like to be able to see all gasses and their individual densities at high gradation. I think the whole overlay needs to be redesigned from the ground up. First stop using solid color, use bouncing colored dots as a stylized representation of gas molecules, the color will tell us the gas type and the number will give us the density, 1 dot per tile per 100g of mass. Second draw good boundaries between gas types to make them more noticeable, a simple billowy thought-bubble looking line in the color of the gas would do a lot, draw the boundary around the gas based on their molecular weight, the gas which floats highest has it's color used for the line at it's interface with a heavier gas, this guarantees one unambiguous line and it will look good. Lastly the breath-ability indicator for oxygen can be indicated with another effect such as a background color or pattern behind the oxygen dots, stripes different colors would be my recommendation.

ImpalerWrG Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 That achieves part of what i'm looking for and is an obvious change, but it dose not give any pressure information. In this thread folks are looking for a new pressure overlay, but I think we can have one unified overlay with both the TYPE and QUANTITY of gas displayed at the same time through the method I described.

Actually it does. The pressure is colour coded. When you use it you very fast get used to reading the pressure gradients. I have asked if those gradients could be customizable by the author of the mod is currently not active.
