📋 About This Mod
Ever notice how freckled the landscape gets the further it gets from the camera? This fixes that!
The game overlays a low quality noise texture on top of the terrain to try and blend the landscape as it fades in the distance. To fix, I have made a new terrain noise and detail normal texture pair that makes this transition much more visually pleasing and free of any splotchy brown freckles. I have also baked a very subtle amount of grass into the texture to help hide the grass fade line.
