Aces Better Map

Aces Better Map

Aces Better Map improves Dinkum’s map with clearer NPC visibility, player tracking, and biome information while keeping everything lightweight and easy to use.

NPCs are shown with portrait-style map markers, making it much easier to see where everyone is around town. In multiplayer, other players can also be shown and tracked directly from the map.

Tracked NPCs and players use a highlighted ring and can stay visible on the minimap even when they move off-screen, making it much easier to follow them without constantly reopening the main map.

The mod also adds a biome/area label so you can quickly see where you are, including special locations such as the Deep Mine, Undergrove, Hot Hot Hot, and other travel areas.
