Description:

This mod changes the position of messages dynamically to avoid overlapping with the colonist bar and related menus.

Positioning takes into account both X and Y, only moving messages downwards if one of the messages would overlap with important information.

Positioning currently utilizes the dimensions and sizes of:

  • Colonist bar draw locs
  • Groups & group names
  • Group pawn dots and rows
  • All applicable menus:
    • OptionsMenu
    • MainFloatMenu
    • WorkMenu
    • OrderMenu
    • ManageMenu
    • OptionsSlideMenu
    • IconMenu
    • SortMenu
    • ManagementMenu
    • PrisonerMenu
    • AnimalMenu
    • GuestMenu
    • PresetMenu

This mod is to be used with [LTO] Colony Groups. If you don’t use that mod, I suggest using Better Message Placement instead.

Tested and it works with Begone, Message!.

If you like the mod, check out my other mod for [LTO] Colony Groups: Caravan Sorting

Very simple and lightweight mod, completely safe to add to or remove from saves.

If you encounter a bug or have any suggestions to improve the positioning, please leave a comment!

Thanks to BICKLEY for the workshop image.
