Variable stockpiles

[Dimlight25]

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I think it would be a neat idea to have stockpiles look like whatever stone/wood/block etc that makes up the stockpile. Similar to how buildings and stuff works, have a primary, secondary and tertiary visual options.

Another option can be if it is made up of one material, have that be the main texture/color, but if it has more than one type just revert it back to the normal stockpile look.

First of all, in a perfect world, this would definitely be a thing.

IIRC this isn't a thing for performance reasons (both client and server.) My suggestion: the variable materials of a stockpile don't update real-time. Downsides: what would this specifically mean? It could be jarring that a pile of stone changes color five seconds after you last placed a stone into it when it decides it's no longer being interacted with.
