How so? You can barely even see the ores in asteroids from a distance in the first place, and it's not as if it's making the asteroid colors match the ore colors. It's just making the crystal and metal colors match.
Why is the proposed pattern not simply color coded completely correctly, as apposed to having blue "Larimar" corresponding to purple "Rammet" atcSimply put, I think it would be a lot nicer if both resource colors on each asteroid were the same color instead of mismatched. A lot of them ARE matched already, which makes this choice all the more annoying.
The current pattern.
My proposed pattern.
The asteroids themselves wouldn't change color, only what you got from them. (Their "output")
No, because then you can't see the ores on the surface of the asteroid. That's annoying.
The suggestion or the current one?
What Lecic said. The ores need to stand out against the surface of the asteroid.
The suggestion. if you were colour coding everything, I could at least see a point - even though i wouldnt agree with it. As it stands, your suggestion just looks like a daft change with zero reasoning behind it.
It's to make it easier to remember which asteroids have what while still maintaining the ability to easily pick out ores on the surface of asteroids during early game mining. Instead of needing to remember 16, you only need to remember which asteroids each color matches to.The suggestion. if you were colour coding everything, I could at least see a point - even though i wouldnt agree with it.

Now, if you wanted to request very obvious texture diffferences for the colour blind, that could be something I could roll with, vote for and push (I'm not colour blind BTW). Right now, the oddity of the roids composition and the confusion it can cause is one of the reasons to still explore:
"oh i need to make this, which ore is that?... thats the black roids, right? Oh, look, pirates!"
Yeah, for experienced players, those arent a problem, but for newbs they are. Now, if somehow bigger, harder pirates were added and you suggested they guard the more "premium" ores (fertikeen lets say)... then again you would have a point. right now, you have some weird colour banding. Sorry for the typos and I hope that makes some sense.
The ores would stand out? I wasn't suggesting we make the entire asteroid the same color, I was suggesting that we correlate the ores to the capsule color they give. So blue would give blue ores, as it is now, a pink one can give a blue one, you mine pink and expect blue?
Seeing as nobody pinpoint-mines asteroids, this is not at all true. Everyone scoops up both the ore and the rock anyway; no point in making the ore look silly in the rock.
What the hell are you talking about? Turn your custom texture packs off dude. All ores give capsules of the same color, and there aren't even any pink ores.
Wrong. Plenty of players who have just started and only have the spawn gear need to cherry-pick ores from the surface of asteroids before they can afford to upgrade their miners.
