I've literally never touched the asset editor, so maybe I'll play around and learn it a bit anyway though.

Unfortunately, the reason I'm looking at these is because I've taken up map building. So recoloring them for just myself doesn't really help since everyone else would have to do the same, and I don't want to over-complicate the map requirements. XD

I'm trying to get by with the mountain brown set, but it just doesn't quite go with the cliff texture in the theme I want to use (has a nice dark volcanic look).

The funny thing is that these rocks and their endless void look have actually given me an idea for another map after this one.

@xiii-Dex so, funny story about this set, the actual textures aren't as dark as the final asset. I used color "variations" in the asset editor to push them even darker.

If you load them in the asset editor (they're under the roads category in buildings), and then re-save them without the color variations, it should be a less intense black. If that doesn't work well, there's also a "paintable" version as props in the collection which might be worth trying.

My biggest hesitation to doing any more colors of these is honestly just that they're incredibly tedious to import into the game xD I'm working on some new stuff that I'm hoping will be easier to recolor.

I really love the volcanic look, but unfortunately they're kind of a dark void in all but the brightest LUTs. And even then, they're pretty much black in anything but direct sun.

I would love to see something just a bit brighter, but still looking "volcanic".

I have no experience with modding, but I have extensive texturing experience. I'd be happy to help recolor or even create new texture files, if it would mean we could have versions of these rocks that are usable in more situations.
