📋 About This Mod
What is this Mod?
This mod edits and adds to the Flora colors. Currently, this means Grass, Tree leaves, and Shrubs of the Lush planet type. I encourage you to tell me how you feel about the colors included in this mod! Too much saturation? Desaturation? Encountering too many darker colors?

Philosophy
I simply find the vanilla colors variety very lacking, both in quantity and quality.

Big thanks to any and all of you lovely people who offer donations! It is greatly appreciated, and will help me buy lunch while I'm busy being a broke college student! :D
And, of course, thanks to all of the other modders who make mods too, as I often inspect the work of other modders to learn how things are done: RangerDulann, WoodyMontana, jasondude, Gumsk, Mjjstral, moddinaccount, Devilin Pixy, saa044, and others have all helped me learn how to mod effectively! Without these mentioned here and their mods and applications, I would not be able to make any mods at all!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 261 endorsements
- Over 11,000 downloads shows real demand
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Lush planets—other biomes untouched
- No screenshots or detailed previews in description
- Limited scope may not justify the download for some
For explorers who spend time on Lush planets and want a fresh color palette without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for broader biome changes or gameplay tweaks—this is purely cosmetic and planet-specific.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure—likely just drop into the game's data folder
- Test on a Lush planet first to see if the new colors match your taste
- If you use other flora mods, load order might matter—place this one accordingly
