I love the mod, Looks sick! I would, however, love to see the brightness of the crate itself slightly dimmed, or some way to adjust it, similar to how S+ does with their torches :)

My eyes are normal, but this mod makes for less confusion. And it looks good, too. Kinda high tech neon/laser colors. Less time wasted chasing down fake reds. If there is any way to add a sparkle effect to the red, that would be even better. But I'm splitting hairs. Great mod!

defaults to island drops if I remember correctly.
Shylane 20 Jul, 2018 @ 1:28am 
We have it on a Rag server. Would the drops still have the same loot table as regular Rag drops? AKA will it have the SE stuff and typical Rag drop contents, or will it default to the Island drop list?

@Steel that'd be pretty sweet tbh. Would love to know how to improve the game myself :)
Steel  [author] 5 Jul, 2018 @ 7:20am 
I would have to remake the whole thing, it's SUPER not hard though anyone could do it with a spare couple hours.

even github doesn't save the GUID that you need to properly update a mod though. as far as i'm aware there's no way for me to update this mod in-particular as I've been through a couple computers since making this.

Maybe I can make a quick youtube tutorial once I chill on my extension map
Eurymachus 4 Jul, 2018 @ 4:18pm 
@Steel that's a shame. Would you have to code from the ground up to make any changes then? Or do you have access elsewhere? (You should try github, it's awesome for saving code and keeping a change log)

im not color blind but its cool!
FeierLK 3 Jul, 2018 @ 12:06pm 
Yellow and Green is too close tbh :/
Steel  [author] 2 Jul, 2018 @ 6:04pm 
It's not, I honestly don't even have the mod on my computer anylonger
Eurymachus 30 Jun, 2018 @ 5:31am 
@Steel is this open source? Couldn't find a link.
Steel  [author] 29 Jun, 2018 @ 9:23pm 
I could see that being a thing, long time since I programmed this but that makes sense
Eurymachus 29 Jun, 2018 @ 12:30pm 
@Steel referencing the loot table thing. I found that on Scorched earth it does alter the loot table. Giving Wood components instead of Adobe.
Steel  [author] 28 Jun, 2018 @ 7:29am 
It doesn't alter loot tables at all. You can use the loot modifier settings but you have to look at the pinned discussion.
Shylane 28 Jun, 2018 @ 7:13am 
Any update to the loot table? Does this work with loot modifier settings?
Eurymachus 2 Jun, 2018 @ 9:08am 
I'm having issues seeing between yellow and green coloured beams. Can you make the colours configurable? For example change green to grey instead so yellow stands out?
VisionGT 18 May, 2018 @ 8:43am 
is thie better loot or what
Juicycarrots.net 22 Apr, 2018 @ 3:29pm 
For me the yellow/green blue/purple are hard to tell but the red and white help alot (But all you really need is the red)
Ashley 22 Apr, 2018 @ 11:07am

joe lasagna 15 Feb, 2018 @ 6:00pm

Request : A Change for the Color Blind - The Green Placeable that's used to place Structures to other color choices, Please.
deletztepixel 23 Jul, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
I'm not colorblind but this still helps to see the colors better :D
Raiiina 11 Jul, 2017 @ 12:54pm 
not used it but im colour blind myself and its awesome someone like you makes stuff for us <3
4th 9 May, 2017 @ 11:50am 
Oh Jesus, I always thought the drops were just hard to see. :( Man I hate being colour blind. Thanks for this mod my friend.

Running a new small, realism based, PvE server with this mod. IP: 158.69.25.12:18616 or go to arkservers.net/server/158.69.25.12:18616 to join us!
Pale Cat 16 Apr, 2017 @ 7:29pm 
I'm so happy someone took the initiative to create this mod, I always have trouble telling which crate is which
Lilifee 9 Mar, 2017 @ 4:49pm 
he ho? come an update with new saddles?
Raven 26 Feb, 2017 @ 4:30am 
totally gonna try this, thank you <3
Codex404 19 Jan, 2017 @ 7:05am 
@Malibloo: I totally agree with you, Ive got the same type of colorblindness and I just can't see it. I don't mind the beacons that much, but I prefer the obelisks colors to be changed. I keep flying to the green obi when my base is at the red one.
Glaive Guard 8 Dec, 2016 @ 11:47pm 
How very nice of the mod maker. Good on you man :)
Malibloo 24 Nov, 2016 @ 1:16pm 
Haha, this mod is a joke, right?
I'm colorblind and I still can't see a proper difference between yellow and green, and blue and purple. There's still no way for me to figure what drop is what from a distance. The worst part is that I have the most common colorblindness; deuteranopia, and this mod doesn't help me in the slightest. Misadvertisement much?
thenixieproject 17 Nov, 2016 @ 6:04pm 
Thank you for making this. I am colorblind and the red and yellow drops were hidden to me and I reported an abnormal amount of bugs saying that random drops were floating down. After I installed this I realized it wasn't a bug it was just me being Aspergers (no joke) and colorblind.
Krysta 5 Nov, 2016 @ 7:33pm 
Hey there. Thanks for making this. It helps me a lot.
LeeDavis 5 Nov, 2016 @ 9:47am 
Any change you could work on an HUD for us colorblind players. I currently use ReHUD, but it is stil hard for me to use. I would like more contrast between the background of the stat and the current Health/Stamina/Hunger/Thirst level. Thanks if you have time and the know how.
Vaz 29 Oct, 2016 @ 7:04am 
Man, I know what it's like to have ideas, to want to implement them, and to have people wanting you to implement them, and not being able to because of depression. Best of luck fighting that RL bossmob.
Nyt 28 Oct, 2016 @ 4:19pm 
Looks like they're using a different model mesh for the event. Looks like a candy corn stone.
Nyt 28 Oct, 2016 @ 3:40pm 
Sorry, after looking into this directly, the beams show, but not the spinning "boxes". It seems to be happening to all of the supply beacons... the normal ones your mod handles, and the bonus double ones.
Nyt 28 Oct, 2016 @ 2:09pm 
Also, before this patch... the ringed beacons didn't show the color blind beams... or the ring... but the description still showed a "+". So, the vanilla beams and the "+" is how we're able to spot the "double" supply drops.
Steel  [author] 28 Oct, 2016 @ 2:04pm 
those jerks XD
Nyt 28 Oct, 2016 @ 2:02pm 
FYI, today's Fear 2 update has made the supply drop beams from this mod invisible. The glow is there, but the beam and the spinning "box" are invisible. :(
Steel  [author] 21 Oct, 2016 @ 10:34am 
Can you link that mod? I'll take a look at it.

And yeah I definitely do have eventual plans to switch up the beam effects. All in all i'd really like to actually create 12 distinct drops instead of just 6. Right now there's just _double versions of each color but if I could bring myself to actually invest time into doing anything I could create distinct effects for each drop.
Nyt 21 Oct, 2016 @ 10:18am 
Sorry to hear that. This is a VERY useful and needed mod for colorblind players. Another option you may want to play with after this next update, is to change the particle beam on some of them so they're even more distinguishable. For example, look at the Marker Beams mod. I think some of those you could stack inside the current ones. Thanks!
Steel  [author] 21 Oct, 2016 @ 10:05am 
Sorry I've been boxing a bout of depression O.o sometimes I just have to be pushed to work on something. :cgrazz: I'll try to get it done this weekend.
Nyt 20 Oct, 2016 @ 10:19pm 
Very nice mod and needed by more people than the devs know. It's been almost a month... the updated ADK has been out for awhile now. We'd like to add this to our servers, just waiting on an updated version. Thanks!
Steel  [author] 25 Sep, 2016 @ 7:05am 
(still waiting on ADK update sorry)
