📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT INFO:
With version 3. 0 of X4: Foundations, the spawn behavior of the crystals has been significantly changed. Since then, there is a cool down for the crystals. The good news is, there are some mods that change this behavior back to the old. I have not implemented the fix in my mod so that everyone can choose how the crystals behave. Solutions:
-
[]More Crystals from DjVayer99 changes the spawn rate of the crystals to the old value.
DESCRIPTION
The CrystalFinder supports the pilot in an optical way to find crystals.
FEATURES
Adds glow around crystals, so you can find them more easily, the color is the same as the crystal itself. You don't need to search for sparkles anymore, you can just fly around and harvest the crystals.
COMPATIBILITY
Multiple mods which change the crystals shouldn't be used together, the exception is if the mod creator has tested his mod with my mod. Mods that change other aspects of the game are safe.
HOW TO INSTALL
Just paste the "CrystalFinder" folder to the "extensions" folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions). Make sure the mod is activated in the main menu of X4.
