Skins that give variety in dominant colors onscreen#5274

I enjoy the game greatly and have put in many hours, but as my imagination was opened to the idea of new skins, the offerings from the supporter edition and DLC left me wanting more options that makes the game feel/look different in terms of the dominant colors on screen.

Maybe the dev time required wouldn’t get enough ROI, or would distract from gameplay/feature improvements, and those would be my priority, but I think more options for visual skin changes in future skin packs would be well received for dedicated players looking at the same colors all the time.

Things I would most want to see:

• variations for the backdrop/sky (most of the screen during much of gameplay is the same shade of blue/purple on every save), especially ones that were a significant departure from blue/purple and change the zoomed out worldmap color
• new colorways for the standard buildings/belts (something besides orange/grey base, wouldn’t require entirely new models)

Other ideas:

• alternate HUDs
• alternate themed model packs for train loaders/unloaders/stops OR space belts+pipes OR extractors+miners
• alternate asteroid models

I doubt your vision of the game was to create a f2p mmo level of variety of purchasable skins, but I think options to mix up the color pallate of the backdrop/hud/world map would be welcome. I love the original models and textures, but most of my screen most of the time is the same shade of purple for the backdrop and blue on the hud, and the same grey/orange of the factory, and I find myself thinking it’d be nice to have the ability to mix it up just from the perspective of the main colors on the screen, if nothing else.

If this is already available with mod/texture packs then let me know, but it does not seem like there’s visual mods floating around for 1.0 thus far.
