Being colorblind, this'll be very useful. Thanks!

Hey, just passing by to say that this mod is probably the best mod ever made for this game thanks.

Omgg ty so much for this :steamhappy: Colorblind af lol, I would greatly appreciate something like this for the starmap too if you find the time, I know I'm not the only one in need <3

@Crystalblades ah, awesome. well, if you want to look into it, feel free to do so. I'm assuming it's something with the load order, as it usually is - unless some recent update had changed all the ore names or something. Didn't get to look into it yet. Since I'm guessing you're probably gonna re-upload it, I'm gonna have to check load order settings in my Mods anyway - or did you already reupload? I'm a bit out of the loop on that mod. :)

hey @amadox i've taken over updating/improving the industrialization mod and i've heard that their was problems with the lettered ores and the ise4 i was wondering if i could be of help in fixing it?
Phoenix-Mask 19 Nov, 2017 @ 3:55am 
No i only know i still have a copy from when i tried unpacking the mods to figure out if i could find possible problem myself, even in chucklefish forum i could not find any explanation why it got removed
Amdx  [author] 18 Nov, 2017 @ 11:20am 
hu.. that's weird. any idea why it is gone?
Phoenix-Mask 13 Nov, 2017 @ 6:39am 
Well seems ISE is gone so you can save yourself the work unless you wanna do it for those that have it manualy
Phoenix-Mask 8 Nov, 2017 @ 3:51am 
Same problem with IO, could get a temporary by unpacking the mod and rename the folder in question. ISE ore glows again but for some reason same thing did not work for LO
Amdx  [author] 6 Nov, 2017 @ 10:57am 
interesting, must have been a recent change. I will look into it, ty.

Hi. You might like to know that your ISE compatibility may be broken. The ISE ores are in "tiles/ores", but your replacement textures are in "tiles/mods", which means they won't actually replace the ISE graphics.

thx

Amdx  [author] 6 Aug, 2017 @ 2:58pm 
as said in the description above: yes.
Gdogs01 6 Aug, 2017 @ 11:04am 
does it work on a server even when nobody else has it?
Amdx  [author] 24 Jul, 2017 @ 12:16pm 
And chronosphaenon has indeed gone ahead and contributed the new tiles. Thanks a lot!
Amdx  [author] 12 Jul, 2017 @ 9:32am 
I will look into it eventually and gladly add support for that mod, but I don't know when exactly that'll be - might be a while. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) want to help/contribute meanwhile though, and know how Git works, feel free to fork this repository and send a pull request when you're done:

https://github.com/Amadox/starbound_letteredores

It's no rocket science, just a few images to add to the folder with all the other images. Hard part is finding the right file names to use, making those images look good and testing it all to make sure it
I'd gladly pack the changes, upload them, and mention your contribution if you do :) Would be a lot more benefitial than making separate mods, I think.
chronosphaenon 10 Jul, 2017 @ 8:36am 
@Amadox, yeah, I noticed FU is already integrated right after I posted here, lol.

ISE4 = https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=764435427

It's yet another mod that adds a lot of new ores. Great one, though. If you don't want/have the time to do that, would you mind if I did it myself (adding the lettering to ISE, I mean).

I really, really, like this mod. Without it, I was spending lots of time looking around for ore, since I have problems differentiating then on the screen. As of now, I still have problems with ISE's ores, that's why I'm asking.

Thank you.
Amdx  [author] 9 Jul, 2017 @ 3:11am 
@chronosphaenon FU should already be contained in this one (with some exceptions). I don't know what ISE4 is, quick google does not look like it adds any new ores, so I'm not sure what you are asking for.
chronosphaenon 7 Jul, 2017 @ 7:59am 
@Amadox: Hi tehre, very nice mod. Can you please make addons (or standalones) for FU and ISE4? Thank you.
Flandre Scarlet 🎀 26 Jun, 2017 @ 12:13pm 
Alright thank you~
Amdx  [author] 26 Jun, 2017 @ 11:10am 
ah, I wasn't aware they added new ones. I'll get to it as soon as I find some time again.
Flandre Scarlet 🎀 26 Jun, 2017 @ 2:28am 
For some reason none of the newer FU ores work. Like tenebrium, isogen, densinium, and pyerite
Xan 4 Jun, 2017 @ 11:37am 
@Amadox Just tested to see if the lettered ores are working now, and that would be a yes. Thank you for the fix.
Amdx  [author] 4 Jun, 2017 @ 2:51am 
I tried to fix the load order without being able to actually test it, please let me know if the issues with FU still persist using the Workshop Version.
Amdx  [author] 4 Jun, 2017 @ 1:46am 
@Red Lambet: In my current vanilla setup, the vanilla ores work as they should. I can't currently test with FU as I haven't found a way to use it on unstable, but I will keep an eye on the issue.
Twitch : 50 Shades of Skittles 29 Apr, 2017 @ 6:28am 
Been using this for a while now, love it! :-)
Xan 5 Mar, 2017 @ 3:25pm 
Further information: I have not added any mods recently that changes the ores in any way. I do have both Illuminated Ores and Frackin' Universe as well as this mod, but that's it as far as ores go.
Xan 5 Mar, 2017 @ 3:24pm 
It seems just recently that the letters are not showing up for most, if not all, of the Starbound vanilla ores, however ores introduced by Frackin' Universe still have the letters appear with the ore.

@SneakyGunz if the letters are still showing up for you: The way to tell if it's Titanium ore and not Tungsten ore; the Tungsten's T is more dull while the Titanium's T is shiny and bright. Hope that'll help step you in the right direction.
Amdx  [author] 24 Dec, 2016 @ 6:27am 
@EvGeN: Just tried it, still works for me. You might have some conflict with another mod - are you using any other mods that modify Ore in some way?
Amdx  [author] 23 Dec, 2016 @ 5:12am 
@EvGeN: It actually should do that on it's own. I will look into it.
EvGeN 21 Dec, 2016 @ 7:22am 
Good day! How to make that showed tungsten ore?
Amdx  [author] 17 Dec, 2016 @ 11:00am 
@nobody: That's because they aren't supposed to be. The Lighting in the screenshot comes from my other mod, Illuminated Ores, linked in the description under Compatibility.
Fungus 14 Dec, 2016 @ 12:22am 
the ores doesn't light up for me
Amdx  [author] 10 Sep, 2016 @ 1:46am 
The missing ores I was made aware of are now added to the mod.
Amdx  [author] 9 Sep, 2016 @ 11:54pm 
As far as I can see, the mod works for 1.1 out of the box, no changes needed. If anything doesn't work, please let me know.
Not Mr Flıbble 20 Aug, 2016 @ 12:10pm 
Neptunium's missing, and I'm finding it a little tricky to distinguish between lead and lazulium in darker conditions.

If there were more space for the lettering (hmm, scaling the image? If the game will happily show 16×16 where it normally shows 8×8…), I'd suggest a dual strategy: lower-case for ores which don't correspond to elements, and the element symbols (e.g. Pb) for those which do.

@[SC] Kapten112: Das Leuchten kommt auch vom anderen Mod, Illuminated Ores
Kapten112 3 Aug, 2016 @ 5:24am 
bie mir stehen nur bustaben drinne leuchten tuhen sie aber net
Kapten112 3 Aug, 2016 @ 5:11am 
ok ich probiers ma danke
Amdx  [author] 29 Jul, 2016 @ 8:25am 
@[SC] Kapten112: Vermutlich hat Steam dann den Mod noch nicht runtergeladen, das machts leider nicht immer sofort. Versuch mal das Spiel und Steam komplett abzudrehen und neuzustarten, dann klappt das meistens.
Kapten112 28 Jul, 2016 @ 11:03pm 
bei mir leuchtet nix kan mir jemand helfen ?
Amdx  [author] 28 Jul, 2016 @ 1:25pm 
Issue resolved, the mod works with Frackin' Universe now out of the box, when FU is found, without requiring any additional mods or anything.
Amdx  [author] 26 Jul, 2016 @ 8:52am 
@DinoDisaster: Yes, this is actually what I was working on the other day. Problem is: Even with that dedicated mod requiring FU, the load order didn't work as intended. I am still looking into that though.

@Leaf: As discussed further below, no, sadly not possible, at least to my knowledge.
Leaf 25 Jul, 2016 @ 6:35pm 
I wonder if there's a way to make the letters only appear when you hold down Alt
DinoDisaster 24 Jul, 2016 @ 4:18pm 
@Amadox wouldn't it be simpler to have a copy of the mod instead, where one requires Fracking Universe, and one does not. instead of having to edit the mod?
ethereal 24 Jul, 2016 @ 11:28am 
Very useful, thank you.
DinoDisaster 24 Jul, 2016 @ 3:46am 
@Lord Dawnfall - Yes this is "Ugly", but it is a mod for convinence, not beauty. Don't like it, Don't use it. I certainly appreciate this mod.
DinoDisaster 24 Jul, 2016 @ 3:34am 
I use it together with Illuminated Ores, where Illuminated Ores makes Fracking Universe ores glow, letters only show on some of my ores.
JabZ 23 Jul, 2016 @ 8:04pm 
this is ugly as shit
