this mod still works in 4.0 for anyone wondering -
awesome job :)

oh hell yeah

It has no vanilla overrides so works fine in 3.14, no update required.

any chance you'll be updating this for 3.14?

Thank you for the updates, you have excellent mods !

I could, but someone has gone one better and done a complete avenge of Planet Name editor: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2990475149 and they have inbuilt giga compatibility.

bro I love this mod so much, now when armies or buildings are building I can still tell what that planet specializes in. I have a small request, I was looking at the files and well, modding is not my expertise, I think I added exotic gases and synthetic crystals to your list, but I would LOVE if you could make a compatibility patch for gigastructural engineering. I like to know where I'm producing sentient metal and negative mass. I can currently copy the "DC3" tag or whatever special character from one of your naming icons and put in the resource from giga, such as ehof_sr_sentient_metal, but it is such a long resource name it always breaks the naming tool.

I love you

There is no need to update, there is no vanilla code or behaviour change in 3.9, so doesn't need a new version.

Is this mod expected to update to 3.9 soon?

Many thanks!

Done.

Can you please add the "Science Microscope" icon since I don't usually specialize in physics, bio, and engineering planets separately.

It is, but only certain icons have been set so they can be used in localisation (As I discovered when making this), and originally there was no generic research.

I am pleased to say, at a generic science icon was added in 3.8 and I have included it below the other science icons.

Ah, I didn't take a look to see how it was implemented, I guess I thought it was like localisation files. No worries if it's not possible. Thanks again!!

I'm glad you like it.
It wasn't because that wasn't in the text images. It might be now with the leadership changes so I will have a look.

This is super handy. Now I can't stop adding icons to my min-max planets. Now that I'm addicted, Is it possible to get the generic research icon, too?

I have to say this is the most fun, useful, and creative mod I've seen this year

Sorry 'bout that and thanks. Guess I need to work on my reading skills.

So it does literally tell you that on the colour picker menu in game, and the screenshot of the colour picker menu above.

If you don't fancy finding invisible characters, hit the random name option that will completely replace it, then re enter your preferred name.

Yep. I use colors to reflect planet specialization and tried to change to a different color when I changed the specialization and - nope not happening.

Great mod by the way. It really helps me easily see planet specializations I use (energy, food, etc.)

after the initial selection? As in you have selected one colour now want to change it?

I am unable change the color after the initial selection? Tried it with and without Dynamic UI with same result.

Acting as intended or bug?

@Draconas I tried again and for some reason it worked this time. Nothing changed in my playset. Weird

Interesting, the colour does work with UI Overhauls tiny-ui

Be warned : This has compat issues with the mods Tiny Outliner v2 (The colour doesn't show up but the prefix icon does)

Edit: it seems that's not the prefix icon problem, but certain planet can't add any prefix icon.

Just encounter a blank name bug and here's a solution.
Issue: while trying add a "target" prefix icon (4th from the bottom), planet name return to blank and rename dialogue become unreachable.
Solution: reopen this planet again, don't click anything, ~ to call the console, type following codes:
effect set_name = name
then press enter, now the planet can be rename again.

Damn one has to wonder that noone stumbled about this soonner. well done mister. I will surely include this in my games from now on, great mod!

Completely, the system is baked into the vanilla text system and is described on the Stellaris wiki here: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation_modding#Color_Codes

i think i get the distinction. The special characters will be part of the name and the UIs no matter which once aslong they can read/intpret it like vanilla can, then it is shown in the color defined through these special characters. Are the icons based on a similar system?

totally orthogonal to them. It acts via a planet decision and everything it does is adding special (but part of vanilla) characters to the planet name so has no custom UI at all.

Does this mod work together with Dark UI and all the Danymic UI Overhaul mods and/or other UI mods?

Thanks Draconas

It's not, nor can it ever be.

What about the mode?

@Strange I suspect it will be these: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Localisation_modding#Color_Codes (which is exactly what this mod uses)

@Baka Racker can you share said notepad for when I have no access to said mod?

Very useful mod! Thank you!

finally,goodbye DC3

This is blessed.
I had missed the original mod completely and this revival will help me immensely in remembering which specialized planets have which specialization.

I only learned about that recently, when coming back to Stellaris after 3.5 update. I was like a kid in a candy store for the next two runs, renaming planets, leaders, fleets, species. :D

Basically yes.

Interesting. Probably easier than having Notepad++ open with the characters for colored text.
