📋 About This Mod
That's a long time I seek NMS files to create this mod but it's finaly here.
What it does is basicaly :
- changing deposit colors to make them closer to the substance they are made of
- changing flying debris to match deposit colors
Hopefully it will be easier to know you are approching a gold deposit and not a uranium one (for example).
To make things easier, I posted a full list of vanilla and modded colors for both main deposit colors and flying debris ones.
Note anyway that due to the heavy ambient color used for each planet, these colors might greatly vary from their true color !
Optional mods :
- Improves mining effect with Fractured Mining
New : v2. 8 has been updated for 6. 32 game version.
Compatibility :
- CHECK IF THIS MOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH LATEST GAME VERSION
- CHECK IF THIS MOD NEEDS TO BE MERGED WITH ANOTHER OF MY MODS
