Building Color/Design Guide

[Amanda44]

don't build a chicken coop with spruce wood. damn that thing burns.

I built one with Kings Oak and Spruce, I really like it though.
And it still looks good in the daylight, not as bright as yours for some reason.



(Sorry about the hand slots, lol, only just noticed they were in the way ...)

Poplar is the same neon yellow. I think some of the woods are just a bit too bright. A little more wood grain, a little less reflectivity would be really nice.

[Turtlesir]

yeah, my bout with it is that the planks are almost invisible, and the dark spruce bark enhances the shininess. yours does look better Amanda.

[MagicManICT]

Some of the woods are just over saturated. (I think that's the term I'm looking for.) Any kind of texture that is there is just washed out and is bleh. It's like an old tv you turned the brightness up too high on and instead of a bright picture, it all became white with a few shades of grey so you can tell it's not supposed to be just white.

Ok, so... I built a Stone Mansion and I'm fairly sure I had the materials right but when it was done it seems that block 1 and block 2 swapped places... Not sure why..

So, to avoid it happening again and just to make sure, can someone please confirm if these numbers will give me the Great Hall I expect?

250 Blocks of Wood A
150 Blocks of Wood B
100 Blocks of Wood C

150 Boards of Wood D
100 Boards of Wood C

1st Block (roof tiles) = A
2nd Block (door & roof backing) = B
3rd Block (pillars) = C
1st Board (walls) = D
2nd Board (Trim/structure) = C

Is that right? The numbers are ok?

I have question here, what if I need to use only 2 colors instead of 3?
1st and 2nd - cypress and 3rd walnut? Is there any possibility or it will count cypress as 1st and walnut as 2nd and 3rd?

Want to do like:
Primary Block - 250 - cypress
Secondary Block - 150 - cypress
Teritary Block - 100 - walnut

Sadly that doesn't work. You can have the 2nd and 3rd the same type, but not 1st and 2nd. Basically the system checks if the subsequent material type is at least 50% of the previous material type, if so the subsequent material will take up that slot. Otherwise the previous material will take up that slot and all other slots. This means you can have everything be the same type type, have the first be different and the second and third be the same type, or have all 3 be unique.

Is there a guide for pavement colors somewhere?
