Sensible Chemist - No Chemist Glow on Ship

Thank you for your interest in Sensible Chemist!

What does this mod do?
Simply put, this mod patches yellow chemists so that they no longer apply a permanent "glow" status while aboard your ship. You and your crew may now rest easy without fear of being constantly jabbed in the arm with a glowstick!

Everything else you need to know to use this mod is detailed below.
There are some IMPORTANT considerations, so I advise that you read the sections on INSTALLATION and UNINSTALLATION carefully.

If you have additional questions or if you encounter issues, then please
post them on Steam under the "Bug Reports" section.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION/USE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation is simple, simply click subscribe and you're good to go.

IMPORTANT: It may take some time for the old status effects to wear off,
but once they do, you should no longer glow while onboard you ship, even
with a yellow chemist present.

You should see the status effect wearing off in the left corner of your HUD.
Once that disappears you should be good to go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNINSTALLATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT! - This mod requires special steps for uninstallation!
Before activating this mod on a character, make sure that this mod is indeed
compatible with how you wish yellow chemists to function!

UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (VERY IMPORTANT - FOLLOW CLOSELY)
This mod can be uninstalled, however it requires additional steps and precautions
due to the way status effects work. If the game can't load a status effect, it
will not be able to load your character.

So, if you wish to uninstall this mod, follow these steps PRECISELY.
0. Leave any crew members on your ship.
1. Beam down to a planet.
2. Allow 1-2 minutes for glow effect to expire .
3. Save and close.
4. Uninstall this mod.
5. Relog.

If you are still unable to access your character, do not panic.
Simply reinstall and confirm that the status effects did indeed expire before
attempting step 3-5.

FUNCTIONALITY:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod mainly removes one really annoying mechanic that has been bothering
me, and some others in the community for quite some time.

Before, if you had a yellow chemist onboard your ship, they would constantly
cause you and your crew members to glow - rather unnecessarily, for the whole
duration of which you were on your ship.

However, persistent glow buffs were really tiring, so now there is this mod.

This mod changes 2 things about the yellow chemist crew member type.
- Removes visuals of glow effect while on ship
because why would you and every crew member you have onboard need to glow while
aboard your own (well-lit) ship?

- Lessens intensity of glow "field" while on planets
(changes glow border size to 1 instead of 2, and alters fade amount to
make the transition softer and less intense)

A simple change, but quite necessary, I think.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tested, and fully compatible with 750+ mods.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod replaces the status effects used in crewmemberchemistyellow.npctype
with 2 new status effects with edited parameters.

As such, it should be compatible with pretty much anything - however, special
considerations are needed when installing, as mentioned above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALTERNATE VERSIONS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pretty satisfied with the way things are working right now, but if you
would prefer a version with no glow outline at all, or if you have any other
suggestions for the mod, or any other fixes you would like to see me create then
let me know in the "Suggestions" topic, or in the mod's comments section.

That is all for now.
Hope you enjoy the mod.
