Craft transparent variants of gravship substructure and heavy bridges!
Mod Contents
This mini-mod adds the following new foundation and floor types:
[list]
[*] [b]Transparent Substructure[/b] - Statistically and materially identical to regular gravship substructure, but when built over terrain the underlying terrain (including moving water) will be visible under the foundation. When built over open space, the planet will be visible underneath. (Hope you're not afraid of heights!)
[*] [b]Transparent Heavy Bridge[/b] - The same as above, except in a non-gravship heavy bridge form.
[*] [b]Fine Transparent Tile[/b] - A transparent flooring that can be built over transparent substructure or heavy bridge to satisfy noble requirements. Statistically identical to fine steel tile.
[*] [b]Sky Tile[/b] and [b]Fine Sky Tile[/b] - Statistically identical to regular and fine steel floor, but projects an image of what is underneath the current structure. On the ground this will merely show the underlying terrain, but in space this will display the planet below the structure or ship on which it is constructed.
[/list]
Technical Details
Transparent Substructure uses 3 custom SectionLayers and 11 Harmony patches (4 prefixes and 7 postfixes) to modify the gravship mask, add the glass overlay, and force normal terrain rendering under transparent foundations and floors.
Known Issues
[list]
[*] When using [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1662119905]Dubs Mint Minimap[/url], enabling "real terrain colors" will cause the entire game UI to crash due to a bug in DMM that does not account for non-space terrain tiles that are flagged to not render. Until this is fixed, please avoid using the real terrain colors option.
