is it possible to set a color change to apply to all mechs in a way that overrides the vanilla default? I'd like the urchins and guttersnipes from the war queen/empress to have the modded color rather than default colors

This mod is how I found out that there is a color selector for mechanoids in vanilla and has been there since Biotech released (albeit nowhere near as fleshed out as this mod)

Hundreds of hours and I never knew

Q_Q it's perfect, was just using mechs and wanted to color code them to a task, then realized they didnt even have pink for mechs anyways, thank you for the mod to fix this horrible issue of mine

thank you, your mod is great

Probably. I'll look into it when I have time.

would it be possible to input rgb code for the mech color ?

GOAT ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)

Yay! Thank you :)

Amen brutha

Glad this is back! Love giving my bots individual colors to differentiate roles :D

Update:
- Support for RimWorld 1.6.

Any progress or desire to update this mod? Currently the colour window doesn't show up (gives error)

1.6 please?

The time has come, I crave this mod for 1.6

There is red. Fourth color in the picker, use a high opacity.

add red plz

Thank you so much for updating this one

Thx a lot :)

Updated for RimWorld 1.5.

I have 52 released mods. I haven't gotten to this one yet.

How is it going with the update :D :D

@Kathanon Sounds good :) Looking forward to it :)

Yes.

Will you update it to 1.5 :)?
Need a dark red color for my vampire mechs :P

Ah, thank you.

Right, sorry. Was a while since I worked on this.

Read the mod description above.

Vanilla lets you change just the color of all mechs under a mechanitor, not individual groups

Isn't that exactly the vanilla behavior?

Could you eventually add a way to set a color for a group? So upon moving a mech to another group it would change it's color to the group's?

Exactly what i was looking for!

Very well sir, take this golden unicorn award
Keep it up!

Thanks for the update!

Thank you, that's very kind. I prefer not to mix any money into this, to keep it firmly as a hobby.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, that's awesome. High five to you. If you have some kinda donation link, feel free to post it and I'll happily put a buck or two your way.

Update:
* Set color for an entire mech group and/or all mechs controlled by a mechanitor.
* Set opacity of the color.
* Copy color from another mech.

I will absolutely support letting users tweak the color opacity. Most if not all the color options for the mechanoids just looks so ugly and dull with the way vanilla handles the colors.

I agree.

Sounds good! :) Vanilla opacity makes all colors almost the same..

The color is specifically set to 50% opacity in the vanilla code. I was considering adding something to let the user change it. Now that you have shown interest in that, I probably will.

Hey Kathanon, nice idea! One question... does this fix the "problem" with color being a little transparent? on mechs.

Something I never thought I would have wanted until I saw it. Not every day that happens. Would be very happy once per-group colours becomes a thing, too.

@SpaceCadet11
Oh yes. All of that would be easy. Setting up the UI for controlling it is easy but takes a while.
Controlling the colors, now that was a bit tricky. The drawing part is the part with the most optimizations done, and that can make it difficult to follow.

Per mechanitor would also be a good option, and it's why I wanted it in the first place.
Would be neat to have each more specific category override the previous, ie.
Global < Mechanitor < Group < Mech
Wouldn't be too tough to implement in theory, basically just a couple if / else statements for the back end. I couldn't figure out where the color was being set in the first place myself, though, so I'm not one to talk on ease-of-programming, lol...

I've been thinking a bit about what improvements to add to the mod. Per group could definitely be one.

Would it be possible to set color by group?

Thank you! I'd gotten so desperate for a mod like this I was trying to figure it out myself!

I'm glad I could help. :)

this is hilarious, because i couldnt find a way to change the colour of the mechs i practically ragequit the game for the night an HOUR before this mod was uploaded! XD

nice
