About this mod

Changes molecules and elements to their accurate molecular structure and molecular formula.
i.e Ammonia actually looks like ammonia, and Nitrogen is notated from N to N2

It has real chemistry corrections.

NOTICE: If you've updated NMS recently and are experiencing issues with the mod working check to make sure your DISABLEMODS.TXT file is deleted from PCBANKS folder, as the file is reinstalled once the game is updated.

Do the game's chemical inconsistencies ever bother the hell out of you? No? Maybe it's just me.
Regardless, this mod fixes that. 
This is my first mod, fueled by my pet peeve of scientific inaccuracies. It essentially just replaces the icons and elemental abbreviations with artistically correct renditions of how the molecules should actually look (for the most part). It retains the same atomical artistic style of the game, the icons are just slightly altered to match the actual molecular structure of the resources they're supposed to represent. 
 
Big thanks to monkeyman192 for helping me find all the file locations, as well as Lo2k for his language file editor!

 Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies in the renditions or any changes you'd like to suggest.
My next goal for a mod is to build upon this to support chemical reactions such as di-hydrogen and nitrogen combinations to create ammonia.

Feel free to contact me through Reddit (u/petrikm) or discord (@petrik#0940).

STATUS: Currently weeding out the bugs with my Chemistry overhaul which will correct all of the chemical inaccuracies in NMS's chemical equations (in the refiner). Alongside that, I am trying to figure out how to color carbon crystals gray as well, as when I attempted to color them the DDS files weren't too happy to convert to PNG and back, and decided to puke all over the place and turn the crystals into missing texture lookin' dudes.
