Hey, with all your knowledge already gained of modding this game, do you think it would be possible to make a mod that highlights hexes that are already known to be imperfect, i.e. have a non-matching boundary?

Decently often, I have a few already imperfect tiles somewhere. However, it's not easy to identify them at a glance. So sometimes I place a tile to match something perfectly. but it was already imperfect from somewhere else that was hard to see. Some sort of highlight to know which tiles are already imperfect would be amazing in those cases.

i think i know how it can be useful when deciding which placement makes us the largest number of perfects . sometimes when i'm too lazy to do the counting in my head , i place the tile , check the animations , remember the number of perfects , immediately undo , then place in the other place , repeat and compare which placement gave has more perfects . if the game showed us the preview of how many perfects would be made on hover , it would be a tiny bit more convenient

i was looking into it briefly and found that the game has some code i can already reuse to find the imperfect tiles and their non-matching sides
yet , i need to see if i can introduce any visual modifications to the tiles without risk of breaking anything

so , i think it's a nice idea and i'll try to do it on the weekend , or i'll let you know if it is too challenging

i made a mod named Show Perfects , check it out when you want . it highlights all matching sides of the neighbor tiles , not just the one touching the tile that the player is holding

i tried not to deviate from already existing code to minimize potential bugs , but there are two non-critical issues . 1st is that the very first tile in the session doesn't trigger the mod's code . and 2nd is that with track/river tiles that the game auto-rotates for you some neighbors are not highlighted on the first touch , but after that all neighbors are highlighted properly . i will try to fix that next time

amazing, thank you so so much!
