Description
===========
What is Caslon? And how can Dantha fur be found on so many planets? And how are artificial carbon fibre just found? This mod changes this into something a bit more realistic


Features
=======
1) Renamed several resources to actual elements. All elements in the periodic table are represented. Common elements have their own resource, while uncommon are in new Assorted resources.
2) Many new icons to support the new resources.
3) Luxuries are more generalized. In a diverse galaxy luxury furs can be found on many different creatures, and not only on Danthas
4) (Optional) new loading text that makes sence. 

Install
=======
IMPORTANT: This mod WILL override default game data. 

First Backup;

1) Your GameText.txt file found in the root folder
2) Your galactopedia found in ..\Distant Worlds\help ( all ~75MB of it, just to be sure)
3) Your Resource images found in ..\Distant Worlds\images\ui\resources
Just in case something goes wrong during the next steps ;)

Install new files:

1) Replace resource images (..\Distant Worlds\images\ui\resources) with images from the resource folders shipped with this mod
2) Copy the Resource_VisualIndex.mht into the "..\Distant Worlds\help" folder replacing the file there
3) Place the "Arcatus Actual Resource.vbs" in your "..\Distant Worlds" folder and double click it to update the GameText.txt file. Timestamp on gametext.txt will update if changes was successfull.
4) Optional: Run "Arcatus Actual Start.vbs" the same way as above for the new intro text.  

Scared of running a script? You _schould_ be! This is the internet, but the .vbs files can be opened in any text editor- so if you have any doubts - take a look at the code! 
If you still don't trust the .vbs file, I have included the changes here: 

Open GameText.txt. Do NOT use Office Word etc., but use a text editor like notepad++.  
Replace line 185 to 225 with this:
