Recolor scheming existing structures.

Postby overtyped » Fri Sep 30, 2022 2:23 am

It would very nice to be able to partially rebuild existing structures by adding the relevant materials. For example, it would be nice to be able to add a different thatch without having to break the whole building.
Exhibit A: eye cancer.

Sure, it might be fine to bash a timber house, but how painful is it to bash a stone mansion or a great hall that is already full of cupboards, and organized how you want? It's somewhat horrific.

Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

I thought you can use sketchbook pages to change the building materials used in existing buildings. In fact I did just that last world, turned my houses into birch.

Yeah, it's a monetization strategy they're using. Which seems fair enough to me.

It would be nice if they had a cheaper option to replace every single color in a building, rather than 1 type, because some of us have ALOT of houses lol.

Lets be real. the only time anyone changes anything with a sketchbook page is because the material is rather hard to obtained or the person is super lazy.

Being able to change stuff on a house instead of smashing it down would be nice addition.

I wouldn't care if a sketchbook let you recolour everything in a structure personally. I think it would increase use even.
