"Use default material" when building anything

Postby Archiplex » Sun Dec 01, 2024 3:57 am

Add a checkbox to any single object when being built that allows us to ignore the variable inputs utilized to construct it, and provide a "default" look for them (i.e the appearance they have when you are selecting where to put them)

Matching the appearance of several types of constructed buildings is getting far more annoying (especially since you changed cupboards, you fiend), and now with chests also being added... I'd really, really rather just see consistency rather than being required to fetch specific types of boards so that my cupboards and chest don't look like a rearranged crayon box belonging to a 3 year old.

Please and thanks.

If there's some complaints about it affecting the ability to see i.e stuff made from bone clay to infer high quality ,just make it a checkbox that only appears for items without qualities.

But then we wouldn't be able to properly enjoy the rainbow palisades in every town when he adds variable materials to those.

I would never use this personally, but I see the appeal. Sucks if you don't like default cabinets though lol. They're more flavourful than the original base model.

I really want variable mat pallisades, but it being only the original corner post and everything extended from it copies it :>

honestly I don't like the default ones that much (i miss the old ones) but i'd really take consistency right now over everything else
