Black and White Colors?

[TwoDs]

I dont know why this is happening. All was fine until i warped to a new system only to find these colors to be black and white with apparently no way to fix them. I tried changing the color filter, restarting game, warping to a new system and back, but nothing seems to fix it.

Is it just the system or is it all of systems you visit? Does it happen on planets too or just the freighter/space station?

I believe it's actually due to the fact that some systems do this now, it's weird, but there have been multiple threads on reddit about it, and it's widely assumed it's an actual feature.

Sigh, some systems have effects like that, it's fine.

Each system has its own "star light" or whatever, when I went into one my entire freighter interior became green (without any windows past the bridge).

Anytime im not in space in my ship. Im in a blue star system if that matters at all

This has got to be one of the stupidest things in any game. Ive been loving the update so far but why the ♥♥♥♥ did they think that this would be a good idea whatsoever.

I'm not a specialist, but probably because stars have different light-spectrum and you'll see things in a different way because of that

It seems that some systems has "problems" because the new Lore of the game. (related with the Lore explained in Waking Titan, outside of game).

It seems that the "special" systems (red, green, blue) has more possibilities for that rare problems... (like your black and white filter, or abandoned and dead system...)

Its part of the game..

That's not how it works...

yeah i found a "teraforming catastrophie" moon once i got near the surface everything lost color only done it on the moon

iT IS A FEATURE!

Filters were removed and added to some planets. It is an ugly feature and quite stupid/unrealistic.

There is a mod to remove it.

Light doesn't work that way, it is virtually impossible to land on a black and white planet if it has lush plants and such. I mean landing on a moon with a black sky and white sand makes sense, such as our moon. However there is NOTHING that can make you see yourself or say a colouring book in black and white.

Anyway the whole lore of the game is that it is a faultering simulation. It is why this stuff is going weird.

I mean, the entire game is stupid / unrealistic, that's really not a good argument for either pro or contra when it comes to NMS.

Edit: Use ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spoiler tags when you're about to post story spoilers...

Black is lack of visible light. Ofc it shoudn't be like that on a freighter, but what about planets or space? Not black and white I mean, other colors

So if I happen to be next to O-type star I won't see its light as blue? And everything else won't look bluish because of that?

its a fantasygame, not meant to be realistic.

This happens on my freighter, space station and two planets in my personal system. A few other space stations aswell. It switches when i enter the atmosphere or when i turned around on space station right after landing. This is not a feature.
