I haven't tried it, but someone has tried to add this:

{
"op": "add",
"path": "/scriptConfig/persistent",
"value": true
}

In the file "outpostpenguinscientist.npctype"? is the Aggy file (obviously you would have to make a .patch file with those lines that I put, to add them without modifying the original), the one that changes color because of this mod, I have not tested it, I do not know if it will give error or not this solution, but this is what the NPC Koichi uses when he goes to the Outpost after his mission.

My theory is that adding the persistent thing will make Aggy not change, but as I say, I have not tested this.

I should probably add that my fix allows the beak color to be changed by hat color.

I figured out how to make the beak colors work. You just need to add this block to the top of your penguin.species.patch file:
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/hairColorAsBodySubColor",
"value": true
},

That's fair tbh. Thanks for the response though!

Yeah the beak colors don't work: I'm not entirely certain why either but didn't see it as being worth it to put time or effort into figuring out.

Why don't the beak colors seem to work..? I unpacked it because I wanted to add s'more colors, and I see that there's colors for the beaks/feet in there, they just don't seem to be alterable in creation? Using penguin enabler for context.

"Please help me test my Shockhopper 1000!"

theory: aggy dies her feathers

where?!

oohh look a shiny piplup

OK

penguin piracy is mod for penguin race and penguins is colorable with is mod

what about it?

penguin piracy?

yea the weird thing is there are only two quest givers at the outpost that send you to missions Aggy *forgot the other one* but they both move then ELLIOT ON THE OTHER HAND for some reason is a item that can be placed......... seriously chucklefish atleast fix elliot

That's probably correct. I'm going to continue pretending she just really likes dying her feathers.

Aggy is most likely changing colors due to every time you go to the outpost it resets so if you were to turn of tile protection and destroy the place and leave when you return its good as new so every time you return Aggy has reset and is a new version of penguin.

I just prefer enabled penguins cause it lets you joing vanilla servers just fine. Besides making invisable armor is pretty easy just use directives on any armor piece to recolor it to no.

There's this workshop item called penguin piracy. It let's you be a penguin and comes with starter armor hiding cosmetic set, I would recommend using that addon.

am I the only guy who uses most recent instead of "trending"? lol

They haven't to my knowledge, Which is why I did. There's a couple brown/tan/black/grey colors in here for a more natural look if you want.

Makes sense, I've tried it before and ended banging my head on a wall over how annoying modding can get
Still, I dunno how nobody has done something similar yet

I'll consider it, but I probably wont, I'm not all that good with choosing different colors for a pallet.

neat
I kind of suggest making a version that has different palettes based on real types of penguins, but that's up to you for very obvious reasons
