I am badly colorblind, and my friend and I have been playing the experimental 1.0 since its release. It's been a ton of fun. Today, I learned from my friend that the Armor Kit and Repair Kit are completely different colors. I only found this out because I got frustrated enough to complain about it. It would be helpful if the Armor Kit could be a different color, like blue, to improve visual clarity.

Try this
https://github.com/BFT2020/V1.0-Armor-Kit-Accessibility.git
The modlet needs to be loaded at least on the server computer but all computers can have this mod installed
The armor kit now has an armor icon in the upper left corner and the repair kit has a hammer icon in the upper left corner.
Yesterday I was going to suggest adding icons as well. For those in the know, accessibility standards in web development require an icon or some other indicator in addition to color. Glad you included that!

I didn't add any color tints as I don't know what would work for the OP. I do know that the physical indicator or physical differences work for color blind people so I went that route as I knew it would have a bigger impact out of the gate. I can still add color tints later but would definitely need input on what works best.
It also doesn't impact people that are not color blind as it stays the same color scheme as TFP vanilla.

TFP is reading, and so are we all.
That is why they changed the ore shapes, above ground. A while back, it was found that many, could not see where the ore was because
of color. So they changed the shapes.
Maybe an alternate High contrast set of icons, can be set as an option. In the game folder there is ItemIcons, 5127 to be exact, It you go through it
You can adjust the hue or submit them in a downloadable file in the mod section or to BFT2020 or pretty much anyone that like to add mods, it could become a useable mod to help others. That's part of the reason they exported them there. This is one of the best mod friendly games.

I'm back. The conversation made me wonder what does the game look like to you. So I researched a possible full time help.
If you are on pc then try this.
Go to the windows bar lower left. Type settings hit enter
Scroll down to ease of access. open it
On the left in find a setting. Type color filter hit enter
select color filters
It should be set to off
turn on and go to the bottom on the right there are the three main filters.
select and test
this should set it for everything on your pc now.
If you need a subtle bit of richer color, you may have to adjust Color and contrast on the monitor to find
a comfort point.
From what you described It may be Deuteranopia.
Hope this helps.

I have Keratoconus so I understand what it is like living with a disability. If there are things I can do to help others, I won't hesitate to do so.
Even now I hardly see the difference between clay and sand, although I am not colorblind and can distinguish colors normally.
