Building, cool effect

[shubla]

When you tame an animal, there is a neat visual effect!
But when you finish a building, it just appears.
I think that buildings should have similar effect as tamed animals have, when they are constructed. (Like some dust coming from around them)

So my fps can drop from 10 to 0!

Nevertheless, as a VFX artist, I approve of that idea.

Changed color of effect to greyish and it can be.

I wish this game had a visual effect WHILE building, seeing the structure rise in different stages, depending on how much of it has been built.

Kinda like "Cultures" games had, or some other RTS did.

Too much work - jorb probably.
The one suggested in OP would make building less boring while still being not that much effort to implement, probably.

You would have a lot of people complain that "HEY I PUT ONLY BOUGHS AND VISUALLY, BOARDS APPEARED!" and then again, free form building is next thing to happen late in future, that's why we won't get anything "big" in building category I guess.

Isn't the completion of the task enough in and of itself? Feedback such as this is useful when there isn't necessarily a strong indication that something has been completed, such as the discovery of something new. otherwise, it's like a gold star on your homework assignment.

Its not only a reward.
Its to explain more the building just appearing out of nowhere.

Would it not be better to show "partial stages" of construction, then?

Well of course. But that is a lot of work to make those partial stages for each construction.
The cool effect is very easy to do because it already exists.
