    i'm looking for a mod that used to allow me to harvest different types of blocks depending on what they actually looked like. if i harvest red dirt they don't automatically become brown dirt. same with cobblestones and other different blocks.
    i used to have this mod, but i can't remember what it was called
    >.< anyone knows what mod this is? (or a mod that does something similar?)

    I'm not sure whether there's a mod like this, although this was possible in older versions of Starbound (somewhere in the Koala versions I think). But an easy solution is just to place the block and then pain it in the colour you want. That way you have easier inventory management, and can still use different colours for your materials. The only problem here is that it won't quite look the same I think, espescially with things like cobblestone. It's been quite a while since I actually played the game properly (I enjoy modding it more than actually playing it for some reason, although I've spent countles hours playing it before it was released), so I might be a bit mistaken here.

    But if there is an actual difference, maybe somebody could create a mod where you can "paint" the block into it's different variants? This could be done by adding a new tool, or by overwriting the texture and replacing the paint colours by those variants. You wouldn't be able to pain them in different colours anymore though, and you wouldn't actually harvest them, but it's something. Again, I might be mistaken.

    not really the best way to do it since the paint tool is... very limited on its arsenal of colours
    there was a mod i used up until i lost my computer (i had to format), so i stopped playing for a while and by the time i'm back, and adding all of my mods back in, i remember this mod... but i can't remember what it's called
    xD or what the function's even called

    why did CF remove this function?
