Performance

v2.21.0 · September 7, 2026

Performance

  • ImprovedPainting on a detail scale level is no longer sluggish, especially with larger brushes on big maps.
  • ImprovedTerrain and place icons are no longer drawn when they would be too small to read, so zoomed-out maps are faster and less cluttered.

Paths

  • FixThe path order controls no longer cover the path point they float above, so points can be hovered and dragged again.
  • ImprovedThe path order controls are smaller, and no longer appear at all for a path that crosses nothing.

Farmland

  • NewNew Farmland terrain for fields of crops — the worked land itself, separate from the Farm point of interest.
  • ImprovedThe Farm point of interest now uses a sheaf of grain, so it reads clearly against the new Farmland terrain.

Detail levels

  • FixRemoving a large detail level no longer crashes the editor. Very large removals cannot be undone, and the warning now says so.
  • NewScale settings can now find and remove hexes left behind by an earlier change to your detail levels.
  • ImprovedA detail level too large for the map to load again is refused when you add it, instead of after it is generated.
  • FixTerrain and POI icons no longer disappear after an autosave while you are zoomed into a detail level.
