📋 About This Mod
This mod darkens the nearly white metal textures used in new or maintained vaults. I tried to keep the color in line with most of the steel used in vault furniture.
Optional file paints the domestic outer shell orange for that MGS Motherbase feel (color duplicated directly from MGSV images). Clinic gets a new white paint job, and some room walls have been swapped to better fit multi use rooms.
Set dressing file currently only covers the vault locker.
