Outdated Tiered Pixel Mod - Bringing Color to Currency 1.3.2

Provides visual progression through a tiered pixel system.

    -Thanks to Med for the logo!

    Details: Tired of the one colored pixels? Want more detail in what you are picking up before you pick it up? Excited when you get a rare colored item drop in other games? Well, this mod might be for you.

    Essentially, each color represents 50 pixels in a tier. As you fight harder enemies or find areas with high pixel loot amounts, the color of the pixel will correspond to the amount of money dropped. It lets you know that you actually got a rare or high drop in pixels by changing the color, and offers another way to see your progression through the game.

    Here are the color set previews:



    Note: Names & Descriptions of the color do not necessarily correlate to how they are ranked in the tier system values.

    Note 2: Plastic set's pink cube looks off. Another example of the scale change messing with the color and how it actually would look in game. It isn't that high of contrast, or at least it isn't noticeable.

    Key Features:

    -Adjusted loot tables to accommodate the new colored pixels.
    -Objects like capsules now drop the new pixels!
    -All of the existing interfaces that use pixel sprites have been updated to be the first tier variant of pixel, which serves as the base currency.

    What it does NOT do:

    -Make each color pixel its own variant of the main currency. They all feed back into the same pixel counter and they all melt down into the same thing. No confusion!


    Installation:


    Installation:

    So, the new installer incorporated into Starbound seems to make the process a little easier.

    -extract TieredPixelModCompilation to a free folder, NOT your mods folder yet!
    -Choose one of the folders inside and copy it over to your mods folder.
    -Have fun! This should be all you need to do!

    It's a neat little aesthetic that adds some variety to the currency, as advertised. I like it.

    Love the idea behind this mod, but like some others said, the pixel capsules do actually drop TONS more compared to default, a slight reduction in that would be very welcome!

      Without collaboration between me and that mod author, then yes it is reasonable to say there might be incompatibility in loot drop tables.

      Thanks for your opinion on pixel capsules.
