Name: Tiered Pixel Mod
author: G3rman
Co-contributer(s): Med
version: 1.2

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.


Tiered Pixel Mod has now switched to a TIER system with the pixels in order to provide a more informative and visible upgrade between the game's existing tiers.

-Grays represent all values LESS THAN 50.
-Yellows represent all values between 50 and 99.
-Reds represent all values between 100 and 149.
-Blues represent all values between 150 and 199.
-Purples represent all values equal to or more than 200.


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 gray 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:

"Destructive" (Overwrite) Method:

-Extract the files to a free folder.
-Copy the files to your Starbound asset folders and overwrite as necessary. There should be no conflicts.
-Have fun!

or

-Use an installer of your choice. I haven't tested any of these yet since it is so early in the beta, but feel free to let me know how it works! This is less destructive than the first method.
