Aaand back, here's what I put together for the factories: Took out the construction lines, simple-d it down to brown and grey, which fits in along with the rest of the icons; I did try out a version with a dark outline, which I think I'll keep around as an optional replacement for people having trouble with the one's above:
I got this mod partially working again with the latest patch. The way i did it was simply by instead of copying the mod towards the ../Planetary Annihilation/mods in AppData user folder, i copied the files in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Planetary Annihilation\PA\media\ui\alpha. Some of the icons of for example the new commanders are missing, and also 2 icons of buildings you can put down (i forgot which ones), but other than that it works!
Hmmmm, whilst that is an option, I wouldn't recommend it - Uber have stated the program files shouldn't be messed with; If you really want to play with these (btw thanks for the interest ), then backup the uber icons, then put these in, checking with each patch update just in case.
