Changelog:
v2. 0. 0 - The Visual Overhaul Update
-----------------------------------
MAJOR CHANGES:
- Added "Mode3DUI": A new visualization mode that renders a flat, unshaded "digital mask" effect. Ideal for clearly seeing safe zones without visual clutter.
- Added "Mode2D": A new default mode that projects a terrain-conforming circle on the ground (similar to the vanilla workbench effect) but filled with color.
- Added "Mode3D": A revamped 3D sphere mode using a Z-Write technique to render overlapping areas as a single, uniform volume (no more alpha stacking!).
- Legacy Mode is now deprecated but still available for users who prefer the original simple wireframes.
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Complete rewrite of the rendering logic to use mesh combination. This significantly improves performance when visualizing large bases with many structures.
- Fixed transparency stacking issues where overlapping zones would become opaque.
- Fixed UI layering issues; visuals now correctly render behind the game HUD.
- Added a configuration option to toggle the ground border in 3D modes.
- Changed default fill transparency to 20% for better visibility.
v1. 2. 0 - Complete Detection Support
-----------------------------------
NEW FEATURES:
- Added support for Torches (standing and wall variants).
- Added support for Wards.
- Added a configuration option to customize the color of the visualization circles.
- Fixed an issue where some structures were not being detected due to incorrect component searches. The mod now correctly finds all spawn-suppressing player base items.
v1. 1. 0 - Detection Fixes
-----------------------------------
- Fixed a critical bug where the mod would find "0 structures" because it was searching for the wrong Unity component type. Switched detection logic to look for 'CraftingStation' and 'Fireplace' components.
- Added an int
A compact UI mod that visualizes the area where enemy spawns are suppressed. With 13 endorsements and 870 downloads, it's a niche tool for players who want to understand spawn mechanics. Last updated November 2025, it may be compatible with current game versions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny niche mod that does exactly what it says – shows the spawn suppression area.
- Lightweight UI addition, won't bog down your game.
- Fresh update (Nov 2025) suggests it's still maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 13 endorsements, so it's not widely tested.
- No screenshots or detailed description – you'll have to try it to see if it works.
For players who want to understand spawn mechanics and optimize their base defenses. Skip if you're not into min-maxing or if you prefer gameplay mods over UI tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual installation – the description doesn't say, so look for a readme.
- Since it's a UI mod, test it in a single-player world first to see if it interferes with your HUD.
- If you're playing on a server, make sure the mod is client-side or installed on the server as needed.
