Color-Free Cues

Description
If you have limited color vision or prefer not to rely on color cues, try this out. This mod draws a more straightforward marking on the ruddy beefalo and replaces some of the icons in the Crafting HUD.

COMPATIBILITY
- Mod has been tested by me with both Vanilla and RoG versions of the game
- Mod is not guaranteed to be compatible with other HUD Mods (altering the hud.tex file)
- Mod will not be compatible with other mods that alter the animations of beefalo in heat

FEATURES
- Does not change or remove any color information, only adds non-color cues
- Adds clearer non-color markings to the ruddy Beefalo. This change will not affect the World Customization screen, only the real ingame beefalo.
- Changes two of the HUD icons so you can differentiate the crafting statuses of items without relying on color cues (screenshot 2)
> Prototype - Have Ingredients (Was: Green Added: Unlock Icon)
> Prototype - Need Ingredients (Was: Red Added: Nothing, default lock icon)
> Can't Prototype - Need Science (Was: Grey Added: X Icon)

Is anyone else here having really green-tinted autumns. Autumn is really green for me rather than redish. It isn't Spring and if it was the decidious trees would be green. Please help it's driving me crazy

I'm just realizing now, what those marks mean and why its called mating season...

There is a bug in Shipwrecked where the nautical tab has a blank visual. Other than that, no issues!

u r a good person! by the way I'm not colourblind

Thanks so much for this! I'm not colourblind exactly but my eyes are so bad in general that too many colours make things hard to tell apart. Especially when it's just shades of the same colour.

Suggestion - When eating foods (or performing other actions), a ring of color flashes briefly around the sanity, health, hunger indicators. Would it be possible to flash a Red '-' or a Green '+' over these?

While I don't need this myself, I think it is a wonderful addition that has potential to be helpful to a lot of people. Keli should adopt this feature into the game.

Sweet. Thank you for this. I'm so often frustrated by colour cues in games. I've died several times in DS alone from not seeing the colour difference when placing a fire.
