Hmm... not always, for example there's a CO2 planet that has so much blue in its green I tend to mistake it for oxygen. The map editor will show you all the pictures under on heading.

Someone made a mod a long time ago that really changed pictures. I remember some airless moons were reddish brown.

Yeah, but those Carbon planets have vastly different patterns than the Oxygen planets, and it is fairly easy to tell them apart once you've played for a while.

What mod was that? Maybe it could be looted... err... borrowed from... for the Image Mod.

Another good example of the woes of colorblindness. I just checked this in my current game, and the first two carbon dioxide planets look completly different to me.

Play se4 a lot, and you'll memorize whatever they look like to you, and be able to tell at a glance what the planets are.

I guess that is my problem...

I haven't played SE4 a lot!

Slick, you are not alone...
