IDEA: Allow users to adjust the brightness of the pipes.

I like that your underground pipes are easier to see but in some cases, they are just a tad to bright. Can you add the ability for the user to adjust how bright they are? Not each individual pipe but all of them as a whole.

Thanks. 😀

done! 🎉

The latest update adds exactly that: an overall brightness slider for the whole underground overlay (all pipes at once, not per-pipe). You'll find it in the mod settings — click the little gear button up in the top game-speed bar, then look under "X-ray brightness." Slide it down and the pipes fade into the background as much as you like.

I also lowered the default brightness a notch based on your feedback, so they should already sit a bit more gently out of the box. Let me know if you'd like it to go even fainter than the current minimum.

Thanks for the suggestion !

Where would I find this menu? I must be blind but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for any help.

Fixed in 0.9.17! Turned out to be a mod conflict, not a loading bug: the Speed++ mod replaces the vanilla speed buttons by hiding everything of type "ButtonIcon" in the top speed bar — and my settings gear matched that filter, so it was placed but instantly hidden. The gear is now a dedicated button type that Speed++'s sweep can't touch, plus it re-shows itself every couple of seconds if anything else hides it. Also fixed in the same release: the gear previously failed to appear when loading a saved game (it now waits for the HUD to be ready instead of giving up). Please update and let me know if it's still missing on your setup — and if so, tell me which other mods you run.

Still could not find the wrench. Was missing from my screen. Discovered you had updated the mod this morning. I downloaded it and it works now. THANK YOU!

Fixed in 0.9.20 — please update!

The settings gear button has been moved to the top date/weather bar (next to the date and the weather icon), so it's now in the same row as other mods' buttons and much easier to find.

The mod also keeps an eye on the button now: if anything removes or hides it, it gets automatically re-created within a couple of seconds — so it should no longer disappear regardless of what else is installed.

If you still don't see it after updating, please let me know and attach your log file from %APPDATA%\Captain of Industry\Logs — the mod writes exactly what it did with the button there, so I'll be able to see what happened.

Boss, everything's great, thanks for the update!
And a special request, if possible and wouldn't be too much trouble, would you implement localization of the mod so it could be translated into other languages ​​:)

Boss, you're the best! Thanks for the update!
In the next update (I hope there will be one), please replace the Russian translation; I've adjusted some things to suit the game's style and localization.
It won't let me paste the file, so I'll upload it here as text. I couldn't find it in the mods section on Discord.
