Mod Request: Sundial / Time Keeper

[QueryEverything]

Hi all,


This may seem a little out there, and that's ok   And honestly, it may not be able to be achieved, but, the old motto "it never hurts to ask", is the order of the day


So, here's the thing ...


A sundial or time keeper - now, I know that there is no day/night and there is no way to tell time, other than seasons/months etc - but, we (collectively as a community) have learnt through the excellent modders, that time (in a fashion) can be told by the foliage.


So, a time keeper, or a large clock tower, to represent the changes.  Yes, I know there is the map info in the UI, but a visual representation of the changing year.


The clock / time keeper / sun dial will move in accordance with the foliage code, and like snow on buildings and the associated AO (etc) etc etc, a change in the time piece will happen.


Whether it be tinges of orange and browns for Autumn (Fall), cool icy whites and fuzzy greys of Winter, bright colours of tulips, iris & roses in Spring, or muted greens and yellows, beach blue & sand for Summer; the time piece will change colours too ...


Thoughts?
Is it possible now that the foliage changes have been unmasked, is it something of interest to anyone, is it doable?


Some ideas:

There actually is a sundial in mathieuso's mini fountain mod.

It's a one-tile upright sundial with a road all around it like the vanilla well.



Here's the file if you're interested.... it will be added to your toolbar as a little star (if you look at the toolbar in my San Pedro pic you can see the little star icon).  No conflicts of any kind so it doesn't matter what mod order you put it in.

Thank you @ancientmuse I have grabbed the file and will add it next time I boot Banished   Will post an update   Woot!!


Oh - what is the actual mod name so I don't muck it up in the load - they don't normally have a ' _ ' in them, do they??
Thank you

I would love to have a clock tower, with F-variants of course. 

Or even a Bell Tower similar to this one from Anno Online.

The name that shows up on your mod list in-game is "Decorations Mod" by mathieuso...

I wasn't even sure what the heck it was called so I had to scroll down through all my mods to actually find it on my list, it was way down near the bottom because it's such an old mod from a few years back and I've never done anything with it or moved it around on my list.
