will this be updated?

Edit (Extended Tech Tree)

Is there any way to make this work with the ion beams from advanced tech tree?

I've always wished there was a mod that made the beams invisible (like a real laser would look in vacuum). The prism would just light up when fired with that and the damage on target being the only visible effects.

This has a shader problem(It's doing this with all the colors):

I can finally make a Skittles Ship! :D

Kinda makes you wonder why this isn't already in the game.

would it be possible to change the core brightness of the orange beam? These prism lasers look super cool, but the orange one has this weird "dim" to it I can't describe. Lmk if you want a screenshot!

that would be quite easy actually, might make that a separate mod soon
thanks for the suggestion!

How hard would it be to change the "default" non-prism ion-beam colour to a dull/muted grey/neutral colour/white .. so it only gets colour after hitting the prism ?

that was actually my first idea for this mod, which is to have lenses which when shot through would change their colors, but i decided that different colored prisms would both be way easier to make, and easier to use. and this also means that changing the colors of ion beams comes at no extra cost (as long as you use ion prisms instead of firing forward only)

This is such a small yet such a neat mod. I once suggested an idea of Ion Beam Lenses which give Ion Beams different colors, visual and practical effects, and I'm glad to see a concept similar to this become a reality. Great job

Nice

can you maybe make the orange slightly bolder? it looks too yellow.

No worries, in any case, it's a great job ^^

oh whoops, i ment to do that but forgot to, i'll fix that now thanks for telling me!

Very good idea, I was also thinking of working on it :) It would be necessary on the other hand that we deblock the prisms via the research tree, because we have them all from the beginning of the game :)

I'll create a link to your mod via my mod page :)

添加7种不同颜色的离子束棱镜。通过这些棱镜的离子束将被着色为与棱镜相同的颜色。所有颜色都显示在徽标中。

yes just colors

only color no effect?
