7.50 Mineral/Gas Region Map Colours - Accessibility assistance needed.

[dukesatan]

Hi

I've been trying to help someone who is colour blind and wanted to change the colour of the Map Mineral and Gas regions to something they could better see.

This is because the dark red of the Asteroid Region to them is invisible (in all sectors) and trying to place nav beacons in Sanctuary of Darkness mission makes it very difficult for them to find where they should make the path.

In the Accessibility colour settings there are 3 options: resource_mineral, resource_liquid and resource_mineral_liquid.

While these can be changed, the only effect they cause is for the map Legend hexagons to match the new colours, they do not affect the map itself.

In fact, I've changed every single red colour in the left colour options to garish colours, reloaded the game and while I can see the changes have affected other game elements, the map is still unchanged, mineral are still red.

So, it looks to me like the map mineral/gas colours are hard coded for red, blue and magenta whereas the legend hex colours are changeable, which makes just them being changed either random or pointless because they dont then match the map.

I've looked through the list of entries in the accessibility settings and not found anything else that might be related to the minerals, so a little help would be nice on this.

Are the map colours fixed?
Do they have some random entity name I've missed?
Can this be fixed in the future to better aid colour blind peoples use of the map?

Thanks.

Duke.

Edit 28/04/25: Apologies, forgot to add a few key details, although I'm sure these are not be needed:

Version: 7.50 English, unmodified playing the Uncocooned start as well as a custom universe start.
I can supply a save file and/or a DXdiag report on request, again this is not a crash or critical system issue so I don't believe it is currently needed, please advise otherwise.
