What it doesโ
Badge above the pool
- A menu-style card with a lotus icon hangs above each pool. In the corner of the icon is the number of grown lotuses (if there is at least one).
- Card color:
- pink โ the pool is not full, the countdown to the next lotus is running (min:sec or seconds, depending on the "Format time" setting);
- green โ the pool is full (6 lotuses), there is no countdown.
- A new lotus grows every 3 minutes of game time, in Turbo mode โ every 1.5 minutes. All pools run on the same timer.
- The card is not drawn over the game interface.
Minimap
- An icon is drawn at the pool's location: light blue if there is at least one lotus there, red if it is empty.
Alerts
- 20 seconds before a lotus appears you get the notification "Lotus pool: Spawns in 20 seconds". One per cycle for all pools. The notification card stays for 6 seconds.
- With "Minimap alert", a white ping is placed on every pool that is not full and a sound plays. The ping lasts 7 seconds and repeats every 7 seconds until the lotus appears. Pings work even if "Disable" is selected in "Notification type".
- Full pools do not send alerts.
- After the game minute set in "Alerts until" (6 by default), alerts stop. The cards above the pools and the minimap icons remain.

FAQโ
Lotus alerts stopped coming. By default they stop after the 6th minute of the game. Increase "Alerts until" (up to 60 minutes). Also, a full pool does not send alerts.
Why is the pool icon on the minimap red? There are currently no lotuses in the pool.
How do I remove the pings and sound? Turn off "Minimap alert". To also remove the text notification, set "Notification type" to "Disable".
