Blueprint Transparency or Color?
Is there a way to change the transparency or color of the blueprint ghost? I sometimes have trouble seeing it, with the way it is now.

Thanks

Some colors like turret radius are changeable. I don't know if this is.

I will try to find the answer, but Valve tends to auto-lock bumped old threads so maybe I won't get the chance!

I found it, but there is no colorization of blueprint ghosts. The "color" is 0.6, 0.6, 0.6, 0.3, in RGB+Alpha, and all this does is make it darker and transparent.

It could be changed with a mod, editing data.raw["utility-constants"].ghost_tint during mod initialization.

But I would have to know why someone even wants this changed. There is no color to change to another color. It could be made less dark, or less transparent. It could be GIVEN a color, but this would probably make it harder to see, not easier. There is a mod that adds color:

The reason could be color blindness. Other games allow different color palettes for the three most common types of human color blindness. Unfortunately there are no accessibility options for this game. its the only quality item the devs have overlooked.
