Yes, that is another setting you can turn on or off in the options.

Insignificant was issued a 1 week ban for rule 9, discussion of piracy in another thread, for those wondering about the ban.

@da¬chaos¬exerter
Sorry for the person that hijacked your post. It's much more expansive than Prison Architect, both are good games, but I think you'll find significantly more content in RimWorld since it is a story generator, not a prison simulator.

I've banned Codester for 1 month for Rule 9: Discussion of piracy. Bozobub is correct, if you think my ban is harsh, if steam mods caught this it could lead to account bans.

Possible. Some games do this. It's complex, though, and looks kind of ugly and noisy.

I have issued a 1 week ban to ZotaOTT[RU] for Rule 2, 4, and 16, as well as simply being off topic.

Right. Comprehensibility comes first. So we don't hide things behind other things (imagine how irritating this could be).

This constrains the art since it means that the art has to try hard not to cover adjacent cells. Which means the trees are quite small compared to what you would want them to be for beauty alone.

This reskin looks great, but like a lot of similar projects it gains a lot by violating constraints that are put in for design, clarity, or comprehensibility reasons (and not just hiding things - there are other problems as well like noisiness and scannability, visual hierarchy, etc). The costs of that aren't obvious on a screenshot, but would become palpable in extended play. In case anyone's wondering why we didn't do this kind of thing in vanilla. RimWorld sacrifices a lot in order to play as well as possible.
