It'll most likely be added in a near patch as it's not challenging to do at all, just a little time consuming to get it cosmetically acceptable. You can see the how nasty looking the last two pictures are in the album.
Also, there are other mods out there that increase the color palette, but I wanted to make one that tries to stay true to the game. So with this mod I am simply increasing the color table for grass/altGrass/plants/leaves while keeping the current style of the game.
I have increased the color table to 16 and have just reincorporated the NEXT RGB Blue and Green as it's phenomenal imo. So I replaced the color you see in the last two images of the album. I have enabled the in-game algorithm to select from 64 options. So the mod has 16 color types repeating 3 more times in the same order. Then with the altGrass (the second grass color per planet) I will keep the order but have 1 set of 16 and then 3 other sets of 16 that vary slightly from the RGB values of the original grass type.
The first step to this process was figuring out an acceptable color table that doesn't produce candy colors. The next step is to optimize the altGrass (which is where I am at now).
Then I will consider looking more into leaves and plants although they seem to generate relative to the grass color chosen (same with all the other options as well).
And yeah it really adds a lot to the game. It's a breath of fresh air.
Once this is finished I will look into the other biomes. This solely focuses on LUSH biomes.

Is the WIP downloadable? If now when do you think it will be up?
I want to get the secondary grass mostly right before I upload it. Maybe later today.

I honestly really like the dark blue in the second to last picture! Don’t think it’s nasty at all haha. Awesome work
