Foxhole: High Visibility Tech Material Icons

A texture edit that changes the icons for Tech Material (Refined & Unrefined) Icons to a high contrast & unambiguous (Easy to understand) style.


Designed to aid players in reducing eye strain when determining if Tech Materials are present while mousing over map icons; And if so, which Tech Materials they are.

Material identification is taken from the periodic table of elements:

• Iron = Fe (Ferrum)
  
• Aluminum = Al (Alumen)
  
• Copper = Cu (Cuprum)
  

Partaking in hours long sessions helping Tech Runners/Maids repeatedly resulted in migraines; Those experiences are what motivated us to learn how to modify the appearance of assets in Foxhole. 

Massive thanks to the Foxhole Modding Community for their extensive help in making this and past projects a reality! Couldn't have done it without them!

Be kind! Build away from the edges of roads!

As always, any suggestions or ideas to improve accessibility are welcome!

⭐ TECH MAID/RUNNER TIPS & TRICKS ⭐
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• T.MATs help the Faction, not the individual! 
  • (DON'T HIDE or HORDE THEM!)
• Put T.MATs in buildings that display their inventory from the map:
  • REFINERY, Bunker, Encampment, Safe House, Keep, Underground Fortress, Town & Relic Base
    
  • But not Border Base. Their existence is brief!
• ▲DO NOT▲ Put T.MATs in a Storage Box!!!
  
  • They aren't seen on the map!!!
  • They are destroyed by vehicles & weapons!!! (Friendly & Enemy!)
  • They decay into nothingness!!!
  • They don't record logs when destroyed or emptied!!!
    
  • They cost M.SUPs!!! (As do the signs used to mark them!!!)
    
    • Signs rarely translate into all player languages!!!
  • They waste time of those trying to advance your faction's research!!!

• Visit EVERY Salvage Field in Hex!
  • One moves clockwise. The other moves counterclockwise.
  • Wrench & Check EVERY Vehicle. (Even Bicycle, Half-Track, King Spire Mk. I, T12 “Actaeon” Tankette, Transport Bus, Sky-Hauler, Barge, Motorboat, Trailer, & ALL Train Cars & Engines!!!)
    • SCROLL DOWN when checking R-5 “Atlas” Hauler, Dunne Loadlugger 3c, BMS Railtruck, Infantry Car, First Aid Car, & Relic Truck
  • Check EVERY Shippable Container! (Liquid Container, Shipping Container, Resource Container, & even Material Pallet!!!)
  • Check EVERY Facility Building!!!

💀  DANGER STRATEGIES 💀
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• If planning on T.MAT hunting near or at an active front:
  • START THERE, don't end there! (Survival is lowest there!)
    
  • Set Spawn near by!
  • Deposit T.MATS to a safe location before going to the next location
  • When killed, don't panic! Dropped items, like T.MATs, despawn after 10 min! (Plenty of time to go get them if feasible!)
• Encounter Signs that read "PRIVATE!!!" or "SHOOT ON SIGHT!!!"?
  
  • Communicate with everyone encountered, inform them of your intentions
  • If the worst should happen, set spawn, and respawn 3 times
    • DO NOT ATTACK/DEFEND/ESCALATE
      
    • DO NOT Whinge in text chat (Regional or World)
    • JUST GO ABOUT YOUR TASK
      
    • Majority of players that take issue don't understand or are paranoid of different theft. 
    • Refinement & Deposits of T.MATs to Engineering Centers IS NOT THEFT!
      

Disregard fears of malicious (🕵️‍♀️ALT🕵️‍♂️) players using these strategies to the detriment of the faction. Play for your TEAM currently in game. Not for the paranoia/fear of what "could" or "might" happen. Don't let the '👺boogeyman👺' win by convincing you to stop communicating & cooperating with your team!

🌟 No Matter how MANY or FEW - EVERY T.MAT helps! 🌟
🌟 Have fun, and your team thanks you for your efforts! 🌟
