No, Adamantium, Uranium and Qubite have problems with help files. I don't have enough time to fix it.

This mod seems to have removed the UI widget over colonized worlds? Is that correct and would it be possible to restore it? It is very difficult to follow what is happening without it.

DWUR don't change UI controls, only graphic.

Any changes to UI could be made by Expansion or Bacon mods.

Explain what UI widget you talk about.

You have several ways to fix this problem:
1)Install Expanded mod, it fixes some bugs from original game. There is link in DWUR main post.
2)Change system delimiter to dot. Not sure if there are other places that use coma as delimiter that could cause same error.
3)Replace in all ship txt files 0.95 to 1. Game can't properly parse decimal value, but without delimiters it will work

Everytime I try to load this theme I just get an error message saying it can't load a file. race46png. I can't find that file anywhere and i've reinstalled it multiple times it only goes to 21. I downloaded the regular no expansion mod one. I checked in there and it ends at 45. I've tried redownloading too just in case something was missed. I can play the regular game just fine.

I keep getting a 'failure to load' with facilities.txt when I try to change the theme (new DWUR em version with the new em mod). Luckily I kept my old version of DWUR (and em mod) to go back to.

My DL of DWUR EM stopped at 841 mb while the last working version I have (V 1.1.0) was over 1gb. Is this another case of github not DL'ing the whole file in both our cases?

I haven't checked newest version yet, but as far as I know if you download new version as zip it will fail to unpack if it not complete. Possible corrupted files during packing, but in that case every one would get same error.
Probably there is some errors in new version.

Newer version removed music, about 300+ mb

Oh, ok, so that makes sense for the filesize. Don't know why it should be showing different installation problems for different users then.

If you don't use EM mod, DWUR for EM version can cause error in facility.txt in original game due to new facility type.
No idea about race error, probably some error in image index in race files.
