Colorful Icons

Description
Are you tired of that bluish color of all icons?
If yes, I have solution for you!
AMAZING COLORFUL ICONS ULTIMATE ENHANCER MOD 4000!

Use on any server
You can use this mod as plugin, so it will work even on server that don't have this mod installed.

Subscribe to Plugin Loader, follow instructions there to make it work (subscribing is not enough) and then you can enable colorful icons in the the game's main menu (there will be new button "Plugins").

Configure it to your liking
You can set which icons you want to replace. You can choose to enable or disable block, components, ingots, ores, tool and you can also use old components icons.
Options can be changed via chat commands:
/ci /ci help shows help /ci list lists all options /ci status shows which options are enabled /ci enable [option] enables option /ci disable [option] disable option
Or with user interface if you have Text HUD API mod (this is optional, you don't need Text HUD API for this mod to work).
Open chat and press F2. In the top left corner mod menu will apear. You can control it with your mouse.

Also there is option to fix tool colors. It swaps tool colors so that same tier tools have same (or similar) colors. It isn't perfect and it will be probably updated in the future.


This mod contains colored original textures of:
  • Ores
  • Ingots
  • Components
  • Weapons and tools
  • Blocks
  • Includes icons for all DLC (latest one is Contact Pack)

Colorful icons are in inventory, assembler and in required components table when building blocks.

Thanks Deathfather for helping out with Warfare 2 and Contact update.

You can contribute to this mod on GitHub![github.com]

Sorry, I don't know how to help you. Maybe check the logs, it may have some information on why it crashed.
Hi my game crashes with this mod. I have Windows 10 and RTX4060 with latest 566.36 drivers

I just noticed that the icon for the neon tubes is missing from the "G" menu, on the toolbar it is visible.

Hey, that's a neat idea!

Yeah, I was trying for the icons to look like the actual blocks, which is not really helpful in most cases. I once got an idea to color the block based on some groups like all offensive blocks could be colored green and all conveyors blue etc.

I have source files and scripts to build the mod on GitHub [github.com]. So feel free to play with it and release your own variant of this mod.

hindsight here, yes I am aware that most blocks in the game are grey on the whole. I just mean that this mod had the opportunity to make the build icon look a little more interesting and less "flat texture". My previous question still stands.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I like the majority of colors used in this mod...
The block pallets/ some materials seem to be comprised of mostly greys, with some exceptions.

That being said, how difficult would it be for me to replace the icon files this mod uses with some edits of my own?
