Inclusive Skin Tones

Description
Description
Remaps the base Rimworld skintones to a broader range.

Minimal and Compatible.
Instead of increasing the number of skin endogenes, (which causes problems), we remap them. Choosing a limited palette to represent people is difficult. Thankfully we can just piggyback off of Harvard and Google's AI research. Uses the Monk Skin Tone (MST) Scale. Learn more by reading the Harvard paper[osf.io], or visiting skintones.Google[skintone.google].

F.A.Q
Why replace? Why not add more?
A: An ideal approach would be to write a continuous color subspace. However that would conflict a lot. (If however you find a paper outlining one, please let me know). Mod uses the same discrete skin bases, so it remain highly compatible and doesn't cause clutter.

Q: I'm a maximalist. Compatibility be damned.
A: Download Inclusive Skin Tones + Misc Melanin, which adds 30 new ones.

Q: How can I edit it myself?
A: Open the readme in the mod folder.

Q: Precepts?
A: Since you'll keep asking. Should work once updated: Diversity and Discrimination.. Not my cup of tea, but you do you.

Q: Do I need Biotech?
A: Nope

Incompatibilities
Let me know!

Throws one error on start, but later it looks like working without an issue.

I feel so seen and catered to.

Hey thank you for this! It looks great but unfortunately when playing with NL facial animations (with UNAGI textures) the skin colours the facial components, making the teeth and stuff the same colour as the skin. Not sure it there is a fix (didnt look into it) but you might want to add it to the incompatiblity section (:

ok but why did this show up when i searched "monkey"

I found this bug/conflict with Character Editor. If I enable the red shader (which you have an option to enable for light skintone), this shader goes away if you edit the skin colour of the character in Character Editor mod. Your pawn will end up very pale looking if you edited them.

It always annoyed me that there's not really any actually dark skin tones. Theres warmer skin tones and sort of darker tones but no actual dark skin. This is such a nice additions, instant essential mod.

Compatible w/ 1.4? Also the decision to wipe warm skin tones off the face of the planet rim is strange IMO.
