Thanks guys, I added this information to the description of this mod.

I tried looking for a way to fix it on my side but the perspective ore part is in the dll.
Enig Apr 25 @ 5:49am 
Same issue as HanA and [EXD] Ant - most of the ore looks vanilla. After disabling ore perspective in ReGrowth mod options it is now shown as intended in this mod (colorblind)
tiagocc0  [author] Apr 24 @ 6:29am 
Is the option perspective ore that affects this mod?
HanA Apr 24 @ 4:28am 
I found what mod causes. it's regrowth. some setting changes this mod perfectly.

I haven't, but I did notice someone talking about compacted steel having two different colors, unrelated to my mod. Maybe there is something in anomaly doing this or it might have to do with a mod. So far it has always been working for me when I play.
[EXD] Ant Apr 22 @ 1:42pm 
Ok, strange development! Some steel is coloured (orange), but the majority of it isn't! Ever come across this before?
HanA Apr 21 @ 7:04pm 
To stand-alone this mod with only vanilla is working fine too.
HanA Apr 21 @ 7:03pm 
It doesn't seem to be compatible with other specific mod. but mod order is irrelevant.
Searching minerals are working fine.

there is something is about this mod that it just doesn't work sometimes, it used to work on 1.4 i updated to 1.5 and now it doesn't work, even though i use the same mods as before but around 100 less mods. tried everything, moving it down, redownloading nothing helps.
tiagocc0  [author] Apr 20 @ 3:58am 
Move it to the bottom of the list, might help.
[EXD] Ant Apr 20 @ 2:20am 
Strange. I can see the mod in my Mod list as activated, but then the mod doesn't seem to be working or showing in-game mod-options. I've got a lot of other mods, but I haven't had any conflicts previously. Any suggestions of things to try?

Absolutely essential mod for me. Thanks so much for your work on this!

While I like the drab colour palate Rimworld normally has, having to eyeball every single cliff face for minerals is a pain. This is very useful.
tiagocc0  [author] Mar 25 @ 7:29am 
Glad you like it!

Just gotta say this mod is amazing even if you're not colorblind. The minerals can be hard to discern even for non-colorblind people. Thanks so much for this. ;)

Nice! Good to know!
Scurvyez Mar 18 @ 4:57am 
The mod should work just fine with reshade as well. I've used both and I know a few others who do too. The mod started out as a library mod of sorts for other modders to use (new shaders for textures in the game) but then I added the color blindness fullscreen shader. lol
tiagocc0  [author] Mar 18 @ 4:50am 
Hi there @Scurvyez
I found your mod recently and subscribed, very interesting mod but I didn't test it yet as I use reshade for alternative shading, I will try it out when I have time
Scurvyez Mar 18 @ 4:45am 
Would be fun to test this with my mod, Pixel Wizardry. :P I wonder if the colors would get blown out or not by the color blindness shader.
tiagocc0  [author] Mar 17 @ 7:11am 
You are welcome and thanks! I found myself unable to play without it as well, lol, so much easier to spot minerals and I use reshade to make the game darker, so it's a must for me.

Thank you for updating this mod so quickly. I decided to play 1.5 quickly and started a gameplay without mods. I thought I could play without this one because of the new ctrl+f feature but not being able to see what I am trying to mine is terrible.

Don't tell anyone but this is a mod more special to me than wall lights e.e

You can do it manually if you want, here is the step by step:

1. You can go to
steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1424338139

2. Copy that folder
steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods

3. Edit this file
steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1424338139\Patches\newColor.xml

You will see the colors as this (red,green,blue)
<color>(213,94,0)</color>

If you enter this on google, rgb (213,94,0)
It will show you the color and a way to adjust the color
Get the value on the bottom that says RGB and put it back on the file

4. You can also edit
steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1424338139\About\About.xml

And give it your own name, when you run the game you will be able to add this mod, then you can remove mine.

Feel free to upload it as your mod if you want but don't forget to change the name and remove PublishedFileId.txt from the same folder, so it will be a new mod.

Cheers

It would be absolutely incredible if there was a settings screen to adjust the colors. I really like the mod but many of the defaults are too vibrant.

if you are talking about this:

XML error: Duplicate XML node name color in this XML block: <graphicData><texPath>Things/Building/Linked/RockFlecked_Atlas</texPath><graphicClass>Graphic_Single</graphicClass><shaderType>CutoutComplex</shaderType><color>(112,89,43)</color><colorTwo>(112,89,43)</colorTwo><color>(240,228,66)</color><colorTwo>(155,133,107)</colorTwo></graphicData>

XML error: Duplicate XML node name colorTwo in this XML block: <graphicData><texPath>Things/Building/Linked/RockFlecked_Atlas</texPath><graphicClass>Graphic_Single</graphicClass><shaderType>CutoutComplex</shaderType><color>(112,89,43)</color><colorTwo>(112,89,43)</colorTwo><color>(240,228,66)</color><colorTwo>(155,133,107)</colorTwo></graphicData>

it seems they are trying to add the same patch to the game as me, this is necessary to be able to change mineable components to change color the same way other mineable minerals

I don't know why but the mod "Colorblind Minerals" and "ReGrowth: Core" ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2260097569&tscn=1693202151 ) don't really get along here the Github link:

Have unsubcribe the mod and re-subscribed.
now works again :)
Kitherit Oct 23, 2022 @ 6:50pm 
Ooohhh I may give that a try. Thank you.
tiagocc0  [author] Oct 23, 2022 @ 5:48pm 
I guess you would need to make a mod for it, what I would do is just copy the mod folder from the steamlibrary (steamapps/workshop/content/294100/1424338139) to your mod folder (steamapps/common/RimWorld/Mods).

That way it will become a local mod and won't be updated, Rimworld will use the local mod instead of the subscribed.
Kitherit Oct 23, 2022 @ 5:02pm 
I have a question: Is there a way to customize the colors? I love this mod, though I don't have any color blindness issues. My only complaint is that the colors are -too- vibrant. I'd love if there was a way to customize the colors to suit my own tastes.

Repost, with Edit: I figured out how to edit the XML file to change the colors. I'm guessing if the mod is updated, it'll revert. Is it at all possible to include an option to change the colors in-game and have it save?
tiagocc0  [author] Oct 22, 2022 @ 5:47am 
That is odd, I'm using it right now on biotech, try to unsubscribe and then subscribe again.
einBetra Oct 22, 2022 @ 5:38am 
Tried the mod, keep getting a blackscreen when I try to load the mod in my modlist (Only have "Colorblind Minerals" installed)
tiagocc0  [author] Oct 6, 2022 @ 9:40am 
Since this is a simple mod, I already tested it for 1.4 and it is working.
Intrspace Sep 30, 2022 @ 3:52pm 
@k you know, this problem could have been avoided if Tynan added steel smelting. Rocks containing iron ore are typically orange irl :p
Yummi Aug 2, 2022 @ 5:57am 
colorblind or not this mod is BIS
OkBuddy® (smarter than u) Jul 21, 2022 @ 6:21am 
came here just for the steel texture. yes the vanilla steel textures make sense but i'd rather have ease of use and be able spot steel easily.
Moonshine Fox Jul 2, 2022 @ 3:09pm 
Thank you so much for this! I'm not colorblind, but I still had a lot of trouble telling some of the minerals apart from rock.
ImSolidGold May 20, 2022 @ 11:50am 
Finally!:steamthumbsup:
Skoop Mar 26, 2022 @ 7:05pm 
Thank you so much for the mod!

@c.kit I'm glad it's useful for you!
c.kit Dec 2, 2021 @ 10:32am 
Thank you! This mod makes the game playable for me, otherwise I've found that I just have to click around until I find what I'm looking for.
tiagocc0  [author] Jul 23, 2021 @ 6:33pm 
Thanks for using the mod!
Bob11 Jul 23, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
Love this mod, started an ideology run with no mods and good lord, is trying to locate stuff a strain. Thank you, sir
tiagocc0  [author] Jul 20, 2021 @ 1:16pm 
I will try to find time to update it later, but I tested it on 1.3 and it worked without a problem, since it's a very simple mod, so I will only update the mod description. You can use it without problem.
Raizo Jul 20, 2021 @ 11:33am 
Any chance of this being updated for 1.3?
The_Pierced_Prince Jun 4, 2021 @ 1:09am 
Just have to say THANK YOU! I hate when games use very similar colors or don't offer any kind of colorblind option. For example red/green at a distance is impossible for me.
PGMP Dec 31, 2020 @ 7:21pm 
Wow thanks for looking forward for people with our problems. Its really cool.
tiagocc0  [author] Nov 30, 2020 @ 3:55pm 
Just saw a "golden unicorn" as well, thanks!
tiagocc0  [author] Nov 30, 2020 @ 3:38pm 
Wow I just got an community award from steam because of you guys, "Extra Helpful".

Thanks a lot, glad to know it is useful for you all!
