✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and focused – does exactly what it says with no bloat
- Decent community trust (88 endorsements) for a niche UI tweak
- 2,179 downloads show it's been tried by a fair number of players
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated March 2021 – might not work with the latest game patches
- Limited scope – only changes explore radius and a few settings, not a full UI overhaul
For players who find the default minimap explore radius too small or too large and want a quick tweak. Also for UI tinkerers who like customizing their HUD without heavy mods. Skip if you want a full map overhaul or if you're on the latest game version without compatibility checks.

- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of updates and conflicts.
- Test the explore radius setting in a new game or save to see if it feels right before committing.
