Crystal Rarities - Glow Only

Description
Description:
I love mining crystals. I enjoy hunting through asteroid fields and eventually stumbling on that big payday. But in vanilla, crystals' little blinking lights are a pain to spot for my old-man eyes.

This is a "glow only" version of the original mod, and does not change or affect crystal spawn rates at all.

NOTE/WARNING: This mod could definitely be considered "cheat-y" or unbalanced. I originally created it because I enjoy hunting for crystals and hate the early-game credit grind and thought others might be looking for something similar.


Features:
+ Changes the color of crystals to the following:

  • Bandannite - Very common - White
  • Menelaene - Common - Green
  • Aguilite - Rare - Blue
  • Mitonene - "Epic" - Purple
  • Burnite - "Legendary" - Orange

+ Added a glow to all crystals so they stand out more in the asteroid field


Compatibility:
  • Will conflict with mods that change crystal colors
  • Will conflict with Crystal Finder
  • Will (obviously) conflict with the other version of this mod


(Un)Installation:
Hit "subscribe"

To UNinstall, just "unsubscribe"! (if for some reason that doesn't work, delete the folder "Crystal_Rarities_Glowonly")


Credits:
  • Thanks to Shuruna and their Crystal Finder[www.nexusmods.com] mod, which gave me the base/inspiration for mine.
  • Thanks to everyone on the Egosoft Forums and Egosoft Discord for all the knowledge they imparted on me.

very good !!!!

@Adalon yep you should be able to remove it without causing any damage, X4 seems to be quite good in regards to adding/removing mods mid-game.

Also for anyone wondering - this mod along with disable crystal spawn cooldown mod both still work fine with 7.0.

Does your mod affect the save file?
If I play with a mod and then delete it, will I be able to continue playing?

Works fine with 6.0, using this mod combined with "disable crystal spawn cooldown" which also works without issue.

The mod will not be downloaded... Is the content still available?
