The way it stands right now I've already started making progress on the visual stuff. Right now, there's a whopping 222 skin color variations, going from dark to light and from bright to muted. I'm still thinking about how to tackle combining gem/hair colors since there's no additional option available to separate them. I have a friend who knows his way around coding too and he's helping me out where needed. Although he hasn't worked with any Starbound mods himself, he's been helping me out by working on little programs that can make the workflow easier, such as picking hex color values and generating a string of code automatically from it, saving the time required to type it all down.

Sadly I have bad news too. I can't seem to work with the setup the old gems mod is using. It seems to be handling things somewhat differently from the template mod by Skittles that makes the most sense to me. From what I've found out, it was created from a different template mod, so there are parts in the code that look and function differently and I'm not familiar with.

I still want to make the new mod a dependency/addon to this one, but it seems that after the amount of time I've spent trying to make it work, and with no contact from the authors, it may be easier to start from the ground up and for it to become an independent mod. I hope they're OK with this.

I won't be touching the old mod further, and I'm not going to copy any assets from it.

It's in the backlog for the time being. I still have what I cobbled together so far but there's a bunch of other things I need to take care of first. Thanks for asking tho :)
