The Colored Orbits mod allows to color the planets orbits to make them easier to identify ingame.

This is particularly helpful when you chain fly-bys:

The orbits colors are chosen automatically based on the planet color. I've made sure to make the orbit and the planet name easy to distinguish in any case. As an example, here is an overview with two famous planet packs (Eternia 2 and Truly Terrained Solar System):

How do I install it?
  1. Open your mod folder (from the game, go into the mod loader menu, then click "Open Mod folder")
  2. Download ColoredOrbits.dll
  3. Drop it into your mod folder
  4. Restart your game and activate the mod (make sure UI Tools is activated, otherwise the mod won't show up)
Enjoy :cool:

Source code available here.

O mod Colored Orbits permite colorir as órbitas dos planetas para torná-los mais fáceis de identificar no jogo.

Isso é particularmente útil quando você faz sobrevoos em cadeia:

As cores das órbitas são escolhidas automaticamente com base na cor do planeta. Eu me certifiquei de fazer a órbita e o nome do planeta fáceis de distinguir em qualquer caso. Como exemplo, aqui está uma visão geral com dois pacotes de planetas famosos (Eternia 2 e Truly Terrained Solar System):

Como faço para instalar?
  1. Abra sua pasta de mods (no jogo, vá para o menu do carregador de mods e clique em "Abrir pasta de mods")
  2. Baixar ColoredOrbits.dll
  3. Solte-o na sua pasta mod
  4. Reinicie o jogo e ative o mod (certifique-se de que as Ferramentas de IU estejam ativadas, caso contrário o mod não aparecerá)
Aproveitar:legal:

Código fonte disponível aqui .

Hello, this forum is english-speaking so if you could please translate your messages that would be great. The tourist role is one that is given to brand new members. You can do challenges to get higher ranks many members have.

Hello, was MonkeSpaceflight said, this is a international forum, so the main language that we speak here is English.
I'm translating now your posts and please on the future translate your posts to English, you can use for example DeepL translator to translate them.
Also, unfortunately you cannot load mods to the SFS mobile version.

mods are only on the steam version not the mobile version.
Question already answered by the way.
Also, cannot forget to download this great mod tomorrow!
I don't know how I have still not downloaded it to be honest.
