Colourful Multitool Cabinets

Description

This mod enables procedural colouring of the Multi-tool cabinets found on space stations. Regulated stations will feature brightly coloured crates while the attached info displays and decals on the front will pick from a palette of light colours. In addition, outlaw stations will have dark gritty crates with red/orange accented displays and decals.

This mod does not affect the appearance of other Multi-tool cabinets found in the game (ex. in Space Anomaly or minor settlemets).
