Description:

This simple mini-mod gives the player additional settings to turn off the blinking/pulsing effects of overlay icons. As per mod-name, every blinking effect is turned off by default. Change it in the settings as you like.
No more eye pain from solar flares <3


I couldn’t find any other mod that changes the effects of the overlay icons, so I did it myself.

Can this be added to or removed from an ongoing save?

Yes, it is that simple.

Does this work for modded icons?

As long as they use the rimworlds normal way to display them – otherwise no.

The following mods are known to create their own blinking effect instead of using rimworlds own way.

  • Vanilla Gravship Expanded – Chapter 1
  • Vanilla Helixien Gas Expanded
  • Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded
  • Dubs Bad Hygiene

You can still use them together with this mod, most of their blinking content will just not be effected.

Can’t you just patch those mods?

No, I’ll not patch other mods – please ask the modder who added the blinking source (usually a building).
Patching them is not the problem, maintaining those patches from outside is.
I do not want to be the reason that your mod list blows up mid playthrough just because one of those mods suddenly decides to change how their blinking icons work.


Me, myself and I.
Special thanks to the unofficial rimworld discords modding-channel, the people running it and its precious search function.
Without this awesome community this mod would not exist.
