a little addendum to my previous comment, i did find that you can use elerium/zrbite as a material but it kinda sucks as one. I feel like it might be good for weapons somehow but idk how. Real idea though is the idea of a patch that makes it usable as astrofuel for vanilla gravships expanded

omg i def need this, although this plus the earlier conversation does remind me how inconsistently colored alien alloys were; you definitely have the floor color down pat but the alien alloy walls don't match the alien ship walls by far. It's a fine color for sure it just matches the Personal Armor and such rather than UFO hulls. I wonder if you could make some kind of variant walls that are more like a lighter version of the flooring color, similar to how...i think it's Vanilla Furniture Expanded? Something makes different wood variant colors at least for flooring.

Also it sounds like Elerium/Zrbite aren't useful *at all* except for the gravship mod? Is it not a usable material for weapons and such? Because i think it should be

Arcjc, Thanks, that was annoying, i always had to make a stockpilezone around the ones
i found, so i would not forget about them as they lay distributed around the map at far away
places.
Now it works as it should :o)

@Baron Xot Whoops that was my fault, fixed that bug now thanks for finding it ! :)

Can make and use the alien alloys but they don't seem to be storable in storage or stockpile zones, can anyone else confirm?

excuse me, i just didint play in an while and i kinda forgot about that
but on the image the hull of the craft is white purplish and not fully purple

That's the image I pulled the colour from, I literally did a colour picker on that and used the rounded values, there's no way to get it to have the proper gradient that it does in the original game so have to just pick a colour from the wall somewhere, that's why the tiles are lighter so it could be more like the floor tiles in game.

if i recall the ufopedia picture and craft hulls are more sliver colored

They are in the original game, I literally did a colour pick from the game on my own PC.

♥♥♥♥♥ why are the alloys purple

New update: Changed colours on tiles slightly, brightened the Alien Alloys Floor and made the Aqua Plastics floor green to match the aesthetics of the alien subs better

make the alloys steel esque like in the original game
