📋 About This Mod
Did you notice that unscanned flora/fauna has a reddish tint while scanned one has a greenish one ?
Well, with this mod you will sure do.
All the credit goes to Sefer for the initial mod and who granted me the opportunity to keep updating it.
New in 3. 5 : it seems 5. 0 update overrides target colors with the binocular dark blue filter that obscures the whole view, so in order to get the mod working again, the dark blue filter has been removed, restoring the mod effectiveness.
This mod has been updated for Worlds Parts 2 new modding scheme. v4. 0 has been updated for 5. 58 game version and makes scan colors a little more vivid.
