Changelogs
Version 5.58
initial release for game version 5.58 (Worlds Part 2)
Description
This mod rescales the elements of research trees found in game (such as various blueprint trees in Space Anomaly) down by 20% in order to make them fit better on the screen. This change was performed with two goals in mind:
With the influx of updates from HGs side, the existing trees get new elements added, which affects their overall size and positioning. In some cases the outermost elements are getting pushed out of the screen area, which frankly looks like shit.
With the changes to modding it's possible that more mods that add new elements to research trees will become available. Due to complex structure of the UNLOCKABLEITEMTREES.MBIN file it's easier for mod authors to add new "top branches" to existing trees affecting their overall structure than it's to navigate the tree structure down to place a new element. This mod aims to help in the earlier case, allowing people to easily mod new sections of the research trees without compromising on their visibility.
In addition, the author has taken some artistic freedom to change the appearance of the cost labels - now they will appear centered on the blueprint / item tile, the shape has been changed into a rectangle with slightly rounded corners and the background features a slight colour gradient of orange tones.
