      The image makes it seem like it might be more difficult to spot them rather than easier, I can tell it's in the centre of the gif but it doesn't seem to be twinkling

          Can definitely see the twinkling now, I'll throw it into my content folder and have a look around to see if it's more helpful than with the worms.

          My only initial concern is that the rock itself is quite small and given most people will be busy thinking about other things the lack of animation might make them much harder to spot. With the worms, you have a bunch of wriggling sticks that stand out a bit more prominently.

            You might change the color of twinkling. This seems difficult to find during winter.

                Red could be a visible color, or some shade of purple.

                  So it seems like they have a bit of a shake, too. I found that when I was going from point A to point B I never noticed them, it was only when I was actively searching for the rocks that I spotted them as they were shaking. The white twinkle also does nothing in winter if the rock is in snow.

                  Overall it wasn't any better or worse than the worms with the exception that worms do stand out a little more than a rock does.

                    thanks ill have to figure out how to make it better for winter.

                    The shake is part of the game, i guess its to make the worms look like they wiggle. Unfortunately i cant fix that

                            I'll definitely keep my eye out on your next one, I still think the worms can be a little hard to spot at times and I didn't want to go with the other replacement mod I saw (which was just one giant worm) because of immersion issues.
