Well, I think there should be at least one up-to-date mod with better overmap settings.

Released 5.6.4h
I was wondering why I haven’t seen acid rain in a long time and sure enough, turns out regional overlays don’t copy weather settings. Seems every compatibility function in the game is broke in one way or another.
Reverted back to regional override and made a compatibility override in the _optional_ folder for worlds already loading more buildings before PK. Alternatively you can edit your mod load order in _mods.json_ in your _save_ folder.
When creating a new world you want to load more buildings _after_ PK.

That’s a good idea, I’ll add it in the next release. It’s gonna be a threshold mutation to make feline more enticing, plus I don’t wanna make it too easy to get rid of bad knees.

Well, I think we can reasonably assume that a human/feline mutant hybrid would be smart enough not to do that while still gaining a heightened agility.
