📋 About This Mod
The mod uses masks to color your base. For each object, I created a separate mask manually. This made the painting more realistic. For example, only the white parts of the base are painted, but black and gray are not affected, as it should be logically. Now it doesn't look like the bright light of a flashlight was just directed at the object.
New base module "Base Colors Monitor".
This module is built one for each base and works only on its own base. It also consumes energy. Information about this module will be added to your PDA.
It allows:
Free to change the colors of your base. For each color a separate button on the monitor.
The exterior color of your base.
The interior color of your base.
The color of the internal modules of your base.
The color of external modules of your base.
The color of the glass of your base.
The color of your base lights.
The monitor also has a built-in beacon and the ability to rename the base.
When not active - shows the time of the current planet.
I strongly recommend this my mod SleekBases_Subnautica to fix the textures of the base. Otherwise your base will not look as good as you would like.
Sometimes if you notice the mod not working properly after updating to version 1. 4 you will have to deconstruct the monitor and build it again 1 time.
If your save used SMLHelper and you want to switch to Nautilus you will need to first disassemble the "Base Colors Monitor" build and build it again for it to work correctly.
Nautilus
The mod has been translated into Russian, English.
