📋 About This Mod

Colorless Inventory reworks almost all icon background colors.

My goals with this mod were :

- reduce harlequin effect when looking at my inventories

- faster spot what icon I'm looking for

- makes colors relevant

- feel some progression in loot and craft

I work on this mod since Atlas Rises and back then, color was mostly item type based.

But NEXT/Visions/Abyss reshuffled the cards, bringing lots of new items, changing item uses and even removing some (heridium, iridium...) so I finaly opted for value based colors.

So here are the colors used for valuable items :

- grey/blue : all standard resources (<3000 units), including energy cells of all types and junk items

- slightly bronze : refined resources (>3000 units), rare resources

- beige : basic craftable items (<60 000 units)

- gold yellow : advanced craftable items (<600 000 units)

- royal blue : highly advanced craftable items (<5 000 000 units)

- purple : high end craftable items (15 600 000 units)

And additional colors used for specific items :

- dark green : race items like gek relic, vy'keen daggers

- very light grey : non craftable standard tradable items

- dark grey : all utilities like portable technologies, atlas pass, hacking chip, ammunitions...

- blue sky : gases

- blue : frigate items

I'm not sure screenshots do justice to the mod as it is better relevant when you play with the items directly in game.

All in all, I hope you will get some nice time with this mod.

New : v8. 0 has been updated for 6. 01 game version.
