Modding Questions - Shattered Realms

Some stuff in the interface you can't change. The game calls uncolonized planets "planets" and colonized planets "colonies" in several places. You can change the graphics and give them different names, and call them towns in the text of their description, but the game screens are still going to call them planets, colonies, asteroids, and stars.

Also, planets have type, atmosphere, conditions, and value. You can't change those. You can pretend they are something else, but the planet display is going to read type, atmosphere, conditions, value.

Most of the graphics for the buttons and lines for the UI can be changed. But unfortunatly not all of them can. This can lead to some akward looking results when attempting a 100% "skin" of the game.

You can change the vehicle size names to Hero and monster or whatever, but the game will still call them "ships" as a group.

Basically most of what you want to do can be done. But you and you players are going to have to be willing to allow for some things and make mental equations while playing. If that's not a problem for you then this should be ok.
