📋 About This Mod
This is a very simple mod to reduce the too high vanilla price of freighter paints.
In this mod I set them to 500 nanites instead of 5000 but this can eventually be tweaked to your tastes in the .lua script.
Since v1. 1, I also fixed the paint icon background color.
This mod has been updated for Worlds Part 2 new modding scheme. v3. 9 was updated for 5. 58 game version.
