Continue in the theme of Luminality's Colored-Anomalies mod... I actually wanted to mod the circle around the tech tree bubble to reflect the color but I don't thing that is moddable.



Covering Techs / Traits / Resources etc













Before I go much further on this (its really rather boring) is this something people would see as useful, or is it going overboard? Also what do I do about the tech tree bubbles with multiple categories? Ie improved engines and attic colonization. Similarly, what to do about things such abilities as: Metallic Waters +1 +10 Would that be orange or purple?



Debating between separating out trade bonus from just pure dust gains. And I have no real idea what I should be tagging things such as rebellion - military or population, I leaning towards population effect (white) currently

Well, technically it is moddable, by creating new icons for each tech. But since the dev team has not given us any access to the existing icon files, the only way to do this is by taking screenshots and then carefully cropping them to get the right alignment. I hope that they will eventually release these. My goal would be to change the colors to better indicate race-specific techs; imho orange is not good enough and not used for many techs such as Efficient Shielding.

that's not the circle hes talking about, hes talking about the ring + sideways U shape that is yellow/blue/grey ATM I am 95% sure that that is not moddable.

What Nycid said ^^



Any thoughts though? Is this going too far in regards to coloration?

Not necessarily for some they like it, for me though, I think there is a point of too much information.



Now if you could have it highlight a color on mouse over that would allow you to have a more minimalistic approach and still ad color info.

I advise against changing the color of the circles, they are supposed to be used to show if the tech is researched, accessible, or inaccessible.

Iblise - this looks gorgeous! Keep it up!

That should be the case next week. We had to solve some legal stuff before releasing the resource package.
