Better Linkable Colors

Description
A RimWorld mod to make the lines drawn between linkable buildings easier to see.

Safe to add and remove to your heart's content mid-game!

Requires Harmony.

Settings menu allows you to specify which of a handful of colors you'd like links to be.

Future plans include a custom color picker and localization/translation. I only speak English, so I would need assistance with other languages --- feel free to reach out if you'd like to help, or submit a pull request:

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.6 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod

I’ll try to get it updated so that it at least doesn’t break in the settings menu anymore some time soon-ish, as well as the compatible version. I haven’t really been playing Rimworld recently though, so it probably won’t get more features from my end any time soon.

However, unless the Rimworld devs change how the lines are drawn (by changing the method signature, for example), this mod will keep working regardless of version warnings. This did happen in 1.3, so it’s possible.

If anybody wants to make a pull request to add additional lines it handles, please feel free!

Also, to clarify, it isn’t just changing things in the XML. It uses reflection to intercept calls to the method that draws the linkable lines and modifies the CIL bytecode to use a different version of that method that takes an additional argument, which is where we set the color.

I can confirm this is functional in 1.6 (lines are much thicker / brighter). However, the settings menu is broken (just throws errors and is blank).

Any plans to update to 1.6?

Works well, as this is just a simple XML mod that changes several digits
