Description

Perhaps the number of concentric circles and their color could vary according to metal income of a spot.

2.5 = 3 circles, > 3.5 = 4 circles, and so on

I agree looking at numbers on metalmap is not too good of a way to discover mexes amounts. Unsure of a proposal I'd agree with, but seems something worth proposing to look at.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing mex overlay rendering code in the game's UI to understand how metal values are displayed. Then implement a logic to draw concentric circles with varying colors based on the metal income values.
