    A mod for Planetary Annihilation which moves the PiP from the bottom-right to the bottom-left. All unit information has been moved to the bottom-right and the chat window has been moved higher.

    Currently the PiP button remains in the bottom-right, and you see that the idle fabber/factory dialog overlaps the PiP. I could swap the control and option bars around, but I didn't think this was worthwhile.

    Installation

    You should download and install this mod via the Planetary Annihilation: TITANS in-game Community Mods.

    If you are using PAMM you will need to download the mod from GitHub.

    :)
    It would be nice at some point if it's even possible, if you could have a split screen PIP.
    Giving you two views side by side.

    There's already a mod which adds a second PiP. Or are you talking about the PiP on a second monitor? Or you literally want to divide the screen in two? I mean, I imagine that's possible, I doubt there's a reason the PiP can't be bigger.

    I mean split the screen in two, side by side, with round planets and wide screen monitors there seems to usually be a a lot of wasted space. A pip on a second monitor may be nice also but i imagine that's more tricky, and engine related.

    Making the PiP use half the screen is very easy. The problem is that the main view doesn't account for the PiP when centring its view, meaning you're left with 50% of the screen that's not showing what the camera is actually focused on. I suppose you could have two PiPs for splitscreen, but then you're rendering a third view which you're never looking at and your GPU would be getting hammered.
