    Help on colors

    I have a few questions about the colors used in the game:

    1) in the build screen I see different colors for different facilities or groups of facilities (e.g. Command Center=red, Centauri Preserve=green, Stockpile energy=yellow). What do these colors represent? Governor settings, technology category, ...?!?

    2) I noticed that renaming a unit using brackets -- [ ] -- changes the color of the name-text. This is nice for prototyping ... I can quickly find all my basic prototype units and upgrade them in the workshop. Now, are there other such "color change" functions?

    Customizing is great!

    red = conquer
    yellow = build
    green = explore
    white = discover
    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

      But there are exceptions, like the bio-lab, which is yellow (should be white or green IMO) and the recyc-tanks, which are green (should be yellow? - but they come from a white tech...) Its not so straightforward like Laz says

      BTW, I didn't know about the brackets

        it gives a white bonus = research and a green bonus = worms life cycle , so they get mushed together and form yellow

            Hmm, that makes some sense, but I understand it's not quite consistant...

            ... and I found that you can also use { } to add yet another effect to the names - though I'm not sure how these things are intended.

            Happy customizing
