Description:

Its my take on a mod that allows you to change transparency on spots between 100%, 50% and invisible.
It also allows you to paint spots to better blend ind, and also add the paintable options to some core objects and mods.

First off a huge tanks to Scurvyez for helping me out with the mod, super nice guy.

And if you like the mod let me know and give it a thumbs-up.
Feel free to suggest spots i can add to the mod or objects i can make paintable.

Overview

Transprant Spots
Invisible Spots
Paintable Spots
Paintable Objects
Mod Compatible

The mod uses Vanilla Expanded Framework as it gives you a button that allows you to choose between textures.
As for now you can choose between the normal spot texture, a 50% transprant, and a invisible texture.
Just be aware that you can’t see the invisible texture 😀 in the select menu.. but its there. So hold the mouse over it and you will see the name of it.

Base game changes

Choose transparency and paint all Core and DLC spots.
Choose transparency on sleeping spots, NOT PAINTABLE.
(Was not able to make sleeping spots paintable as it is hard coded).
Paintable Multi-Analyzer.
Paintable Fabrication Bench.

Added a simple recipe to make Synthetic Dye (Normal Dye) from chemfuel at the Biofuel Refinery, as an alternative to get dye by growing it if you have a lot of spear chemfuel.
Cost x10 chemfuel for 1 dye.
