📋 About This Mod
There's one thing I really liked in Fallout 3's world design, it was all the industrial buildings pieces and textures. They were rusted to hell and had a very post apocalyptic feel to them, unlike the bright whites, reds and blues of Fallout 4.
I am no expert in working with Textures, but I feel like what I've done with the vanilla textures is ok. Worst Best case scenario, this mod may inspire someone who actually knows what they are doing to create a better industrial set.
The mod comes with two options:
-
[]The main file is the version with the washed out colours.
[
]The optional file is the version with the rust only.Modified Textures (v1. 0):
-
[]Blue, metal rooms, that are often used near concrete buildings,
[
]Metallic beams/frames (red, white and rusted textures),[]The default version of the industrial catwalk,
[]The exterior pipes (default, red, blue and rusted textures),
[]The silos (default, red, blue, rusted and striped textures),
[]Shipping crates colours.
Future Updates:
-
[]Skyscrapers (see preview screenshots in the images tab) - done v2. 0
[
]Improved (more rusty) shipping containers - done v2. 0[]Cars, Trucks (and their trailers), Forklift and cranes - done v2. 0
[]Highways' green structures - done v2. 0
[]Green metal warehouses - done v2. 0
[]A few other colourful items - done v2. 0
[]Maybe: Satellite arrays - done v2. 0
[]Maybe: Billboard signs
