📋 About This Mod
Dark Metals
♦ Description:
This mod changes colors of all metals to more dark shadowed tones (see pictures for details).
Summer Stone's color changed to yellow (because there is enough orange-toned metals like Drakestone or Pyrophite, and icon of this metal is yellow, and also there is no one really yellow toned metal in game... except Dragon Bone, but it is rare and expencive). I hope you like it...
For more interesting colors check •• "Colorful Metals" ••
Separate files for each metal, use them all or only those you like.
Doesn't contain DLC metals (Ice Dragon Bone and Veil Quartz).
♦ Compatibility:
Not compatible with mods which also change crafting materials - metals.
♦ Installation:
It's daimod.
Use DAI mod manager or Frosty with daimod support.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may not be compatible with current game versions.
