Better Minimap is a user interface overhaul that swaps the game's default minimap for a more functional, customizable version. It lets players switch between plant, plant growth and soil overlays without leaving the map view.

On top of the new viewing modes, the mod adds color-coded status indicators, adjustable transparency, and three selectable map sizes that persist throughout a session. A built-in configuration menu allows players to tweak and save their preferred settings to an XML file.

This is a good fit for players who want faster, clearer field information on-screen and prefer a more flexible minimap than the vanilla one, including support for a Russian and Polish interface language.
