https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyMods/comments/dkob5c/manual_ship_and_multitool_color_customization/ MANUAL ship and multitool color customization [requires save editing] Mod Did you know that NMS had ship and multitool customization in the works - just like the exocrafts - but never finalized it? well, the place-holder for those properties is already in the save file; A while back (in NMS version 1.55) someone got the resources to work, sort of, and into a semi-working mod, but that's long deprecated. This is a manual solution. Insert the proper values and have the ship of your dreams! Found a cool fighter but it's colored hospital green with neon pink decals? Here's how to fix it! ATTENTION: Getting this to work requires MANUALLY editing the JSON file using the save editor(!) 1. Open the save editor and choose your save 2. In the Edit menu, choose Edit raw JSON 3. Open the first folder: PlayerStateData, then find CharacterCustomisationData folder (it's way down the list). 4. CharacterCustomisationData is an array of 14 objects. Here's the list: -- 0 = character -- 1 = Roamer -- 2 = multitool -- 3 to 8 = starships 1 to 6 -- 9 = Nomad -- 10 = Colossus -- 11 = Pilgrim -- 12 = unused -- 13 = Nautilon * Leave the character and exocrafts alone (or don't; up to you; just don't complain later) WARNING :: Do NOT delete ALL the text from an object! That will delete the place-holder from the array and cause the objects below the deleted one to "move up" in the array and interrupt the fixed order. If you want to delete the customization for a chosen ship, ship 2 for example (object4), copy the text from the unused object12 and paste it onto object4 overwriting it. 5. Copy the the code (at the end of this post) and paste it into the specific place-holder for ship you want to customize 6. Edit the color palette properties; You need to enter the RGB representation of the colors you want. The color palettes marked Primary are the two main colors; the rest, marked Alternative#, are for various other bits and decals. As you see, this isn't user friendly; You have to experiment with RGB colors and match palettes to different ship parts. Have fun :) The color property values are in RGB percentage where 0=nothing and 1=full intensity (The 4th value is transparency - leave it as 1). Examples: "Colour": [1, 1, 1, 1] = white "Colour": [0, 0, 0, 1] = black "Colour": [1, 0, 0, 1] = red "Colour": [0, 1, 0, 1] = green "Colour": [0, 0, 1, 1] = Blue "Colour": [1, 1, 0, 1] = Yellow "Colour": [0.25, 0, 0.5, 1] = dark purple 7. Close the JSON editor and save 8. Profit! A few points: The sheet metal textures stay metalic - you'll get tinted metal Black isn't really black... go blame HG Exchanging your ship/multitool for another deletes the customization (you might keep it backed up in a text file) To Delete the color customization and revert to the default, delete all the palette items so you end with "Colours":[], Multitool coloring behaves differently - a bit like color overlay instead of replacement - setting black RBG color to a light-colored (white / yellow) multitool results in light-grey - go figure. There are other oddities relating to the multitool colors, I can't do anything about it.
