Such color, much wow

Released the mod to get these colorful things: http://community.playstarboundrp.co...de-mod-better-than-the-yarn-spinner-mod.2366/

 

Personally I find it silly that mech tech just makes a mech appear. Now having a mech bay where the mechs are deployed via teleporter...

no mods or image manipulation were used in the creation of this image, apart from cropping
100% vanilla compatible

More trickery:

Nope. (if you mean the grass that natural worlds have which is so easily destroyed... shrubbery, maybe.)

 

Although in experimenting with trying to get placeable grass / ores, I did manage to find out that you can hue shift ANY placeable tile. It also hue shifts the tile when painted with the Paint Tool (eg. I hue shifted a wall panel, then painted it yellow, but it appears purple - a color you normally cannot get for a wall panel).

 

Code:

/***
  Places a specific tile modification at the given location.

  @function placeMod
  @position position The position to place the mod at - fractional values
  will be ignored, placing at a tile position.
  @string layer The tile layer to place the mod on: "foreground" or "background"
  @string modName the tile mod name, as defined in the `modName` value
  of a *.matmod file.
  @number[opt=nil] modHue hue shift to apply to the mod, if omitted
  (or nil), will default to whatever hue matches the biome in which it is placed
  @[USER=316793]Bool[/USER][opt=false] allowOverlap If true, allows tiles to be placed even if they
  overlap entities at the same location.

  @treturn bool true if the material could be placed, false otherwise
