it acts more like tear material or precious metal?

Platinum is currently disabled from game, are you using some mode? Where can you encounter it? Does it use old files?

ah yes, going from "I can't tell platinum and titanium apart" to "I can't tell platinum and durasteel apart", kinda feels like I traded one problem for another

That'd be great.

I can see you took your time XD plotting in shadows XDXD Very well. I've made a graph containing your colors, it should be visible on mod's pictures above. First off all we don't need coal - we can add it, np, but if its black, it'll be hard to spot on black FoW anyway. Second, on tier II planets we'll have red iron, orange copper and brown titanium. When they all show up on 1 screen it's easy, but when you see only one type it's getting a lot harder. Same problem with dark gray and dark blue. Pink Solarium? Most valuable metal, final armor crafting material... pink? XD And again it'll mess with copper. I have feeling that core of this scheme is to give copper, silver and gold more corresponding colors, but later in game even gold becomes kind of trash... Old scheme focus on late game to help find solarium, fer, ae, vio, and durasteel. BUT if you REALLY wish to have it I can make some kind of "mod addon".

Here's what I think might work for a color scheme.

Iron - Red
Titanium - Brown
Tungsten - Gray (Dark)
Durasteel - Dark Blue
Ferozium - Cyan
Violium - Purple
Aegisalt - Green
Solarium - Pink
Copper - Orange
Silver - White
Gold - Yellow
Diamonds - Light Blue
Coal - Black

I thought about many different ways of setting up these 3 metals... They're problematic - they can be found on all planets except for Barren. I'm afraid that white can be mistaken for gray - durasteel. Moreover, tungsten and aegisalt are already green. I just hope that diamonds doesn't muddle with ferozium and tungsten already XD Human eye just can't see enough colors ;)

I think for copper, silver, and gold I would use green, white, and orange.
