Construction core color

Deshiba opened this issue ยท 18 comments

Currently it's pretty hard to keep construction cores and advanced processors apart due to similar colours. Its my first time with the mod, crafting a grid and I made an advanced processor because of the "blue" but only saw there was a difference when hovering the item afterwards. Side by Side comparison:

Could you make the construction core texture be Emerald Green?

Duplicate of #811

They look the same at first glance. But it doesn't matter. If the author doesn't want to change it for clarity sake then people can just go the texture pack route:

Am I the only one who thinks they're very clearly different? I'm color blind and even I can tell them apart at a glance. :P

commented

looks you got like green blue colour blindness...
it to me looks likd blue.

commented

I have red-green color blindness @Joshwoo70. If anything, the teal would be more saturated than it appears to me.

You're right though, at first glance it may appear similar and I think I will be changing the design slightly to indicate a different core type; however, you can't tell me that these are the same color. ๐Ÿ˜›

Colors

@CyanideX nah they ain't the same colour even though i have slight colour blindness. but a more like lime green colour will be nice. it now looks like light turquoise...

commented

The are not the same at all. But with the grey around it, the size they are in game and no prior knowledge of the mod they look so similar in hue as to easily mistake them for each other.

Imo, changing it would be good. But as mentioned, texture packs are a thing.

commented

Is this any better?

Changes

No color change but I made the center of the cores much brighter and changed the housing to have a light ring around the edges. The advanced processor uses the diamond color so I am not able to change it to a lime green for sake of continuity.

commented

Or how about this? Colored rings.

Colored Rings

commented

The colored rings look cool, could you do the same for the processor? Also it looks fine on here but in game might be different.

commented

In my opinion, it looks slightly more obvious. What do you think?

Better?

commented

yeah it does :D could someone reopen this issue?

commented

Adding the ring around all of them would help to distinguish the even more.

commented

also.. i think the construction core should be green instead of blue. green is the direct opposite of red which makes it able to contradict well.. blue.. ehh not so much... as it is the opposite of orange instead.

commented

@raoulvdberge made it very clear that he likes his blues so we won't be making anything green. That would require the panel itself to also be made green and would not fit well alongside the blues of RS.

commented

issue with blue is that it is not the opposite of red >_>

commented

That means absolutely nothing. Why does it have to be opposite colors on the color wheel? Most multiplayer games have red team and blue team. The only exception I can think of is Rocket League which has blue and orange. Maybe I'll make the Destructor orange-ish.

Your changes are ok.
