📋 About This Mod
Inspired by the "Paint Jobs for Sale" mod, I wanted to make it a bit more convenient and comfortable to buy paint mods. Wasn't happy seeing them mix up with trade wares of general traders. So I took all 87 mods currently in the game and added them as trade wares to ship traders.
Considering most of them are a relatively simple re-shade and pattern play, the price is cheap enough to be bothered to buy them but not low enough to feel like they aren't worth anything.
Doesn't require a new game.
this is Sarasande. I got the permission to update this mod.
2025: Just a short info: When age verification hits my country, i will abandon this, besause i will not give out my ID.
- added all PaintMods up to Tides of Avarice
- added 64 new PaintMods from game v6. 0 and Boron DLC.
- INFO: new PaintMods can be found under the tag at the ship trader, because I have no info yet on Boron factions.
- made folder and filename lowercase to enable the mod for mac and linux users. Please report if it is working, I have no linux or mac to test it.
This small UI mod adds a 'Buy paint mods' dialog option to ship traders, letting you browse and purchase all paint mods currently in the game. Paint mod names are prefixed and suffixed by type and rarity, and prices are set to be affordable. With 480 endorsements and over 10k downloads, it's a popular convenience tool for players who want to customize their ships without hunting for drops.
