Somber Koala’s Bio-Atlas - Visually Optimized Version
🎨 **Koala's Creature Atlas** is one of the best monster expansion packs for Darkest Dungeon. However, there is always room for improvement! In order to better integrate these creatures into the game world, I made a series of visual adjustments to their textures.
✨ Visual optimization overview
Most of the creature's textures have been lightly **desaturated** and **noise texture** added to bring them closer to the visuals of the original game. Plus, a few monsters even get **newly painted textures**!

📋 Specific changes list
Here are all the adjusted creatures and their changes:
- **Bat** - Noise texture added.
- **Blood Leech** - Adds noise and reduces saturation.
- **Gun-Holding Skeleton** - Noise texture added.
- **Eyeball Monster Series** - All desaturated.
- **Murloc Captain** - Adds noise and reduces saturation.
- **Fountain Statue** - Unmodified.
- **Fungus Deer** - **Newly painted textures! **
- **KCC Lair** - Noise texture added.
- **Screaming Bird** - **Newly painted textures! **

💡 **Tip**: You can check the comparison effect of the old and new textures in the picture area.

⚙️ Installation instructions
**Important Prerequisite**: This module requires the **original Koala's biological atlas** as the basis, because I only updated the textures, and all other assets still need to rely on the original module.
**Loading order**: Please load this mod on top of the **original KCC mod** so that my textures can overwrite the original textures.

🎮 Game experience
After installing this optimized version, you will find that the newly added monsters no longer look "out of place". They perfectly integrate into the iconic dark, depressing and hand-painted artistic atmosphere of "Darkest Dungeon", making your dungeon exploration experience more immersive and unified!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
