BetterUI

Refined crafting menus and a living DNA tree for your acquired genetics.

Features

• Clearer recipes, ingredients, categories, and craft-button states.
• Search and live recipe availability updates.
• Integrated fabrication progress.
• Five selectable color palettes that persist between sessions.
• Restores the hand-crafting launcher correctly after closing the menu.
• A compact genetics tree with curved branches, gene icons and native descriptions.
• Mouse/controller navigation, pan, zoom, recentering and optional reduced motion.

Open genetics normally to explore your collection. This is a visual upgrade only: it does not grant genes or change their effects. GeneticsTest is not included.

Use the crafting footer's color-wheel button to change palettes. Press F8 to pause or resume BetterUI for the current session.

Full setup, configuration, compatibility, and troubleshooting details are available on GitHub.
