Modern Psycasts UI

Modern Psycasts UI

A clean, single-page reskin of the Vanilla Psycasts Expanded psycast tab. Part of the Modern UI family.

What it does

Modern Psycasts UI replaces VPE's tabbed psycast screen with one polished, scrollable page that shows every psycast tree at once, vanilla and modded alike. Categories are stripped away, so nothing is buried behind sub-tabs. You just scroll, search, and spend.

Features

• All trees, one page. Every psycast path from VPE and any add-on is merged into a single, sortable grid.
• Real path art. Each tree shows its proper background through a loader that fixes VPE's card art failing to load on RimWorld 1.6, and it respects retexture mods.
• Search and filter. Find a tree by name or ability, and cycle a three-state filter: all trees, unlockable and invested, or invested only.
• Prerequisite glow. Hover an ability to light up its prerequisite chain across the whole grid.
• Clear requirements. Locked trees show a tidy breakdown of meme, gene, mechanitor, focus, and background, each marked with a check or cross for the selected pawn.
• Built-in psyset editor. Customize psysets right inside the tab. The panel swaps to a psyset list, then to an editor where you click a psycast to add it to a set and click it again to remove it. No fiddly dragging.
• Modern chrome. Flat scrollbars, stylized black card borders, azure accents, a gold card-selection glow, and a trees panel you can resize from its corner. The width is remembered between sessions.
• Matching options page. The mod settings use the same flat, dark styling, with a tree-size slider and toggles for sort order and background style.
• Old-style toggle. Switch between VPE's main and alternative card backgrounds, from the tab or the options.
• Everything still works. Unlock paths, learn abilities, spend points, manage psysets and meditation foci, all intact.

Compatibility

• Requires Vanilla Psycasts Expanded, plus Harmony and Vanilla Expanded Framework.
• Add-on psycast mods that build on VPE appear automatically in the unified grid, with their own artwork.
• Retexture mods that replace VPE's card art are respected, with the last loaded winning.
• RimHUD-aware, so the tab stays on screen even with a taller inspect pane.
• Safe to add or remove at any time, since it only changes how the psycast tab is drawn.

A note on the screenshots

The in-game UI is not as dark as some screenshots may suggest. The dark theme shown comes from PrettyUI, a separate UI-overhaul mod, not from Modern Psycasts UI. Without PrettyUI, the panels follow RimWorld's standard UI tone.

My Quality Commitment:

• Fully Tested: Every feature and line of code has been thoroughly tested in-game to ensure it functions as intended and integrates smoothly.
• Active Support: I am fully committed to maintaining this mod. If you encounter any bugs, compatibility issues, or unintended behavior, please report them in the comments or a dedicated discussion thread.
• No Abandonware: I will actively patch, refine, and update this mod to keep it working and up to standard.
• No Coffee: I will never ask for donations for AI created / assisted mods. I share these in the hopes they spark joy for someone, making AI generated content and then begging for money that could go to artists and people more deserving is NOT responsible AI usage.
