A little help for colourblind people.

[RayvenQ]

Me, I'm partially colour blind, and there's one thing in particular in the game that troubles me, and that is, decay on wodden items, when they decay, they turn slightly red, except, in my case, undecayed wooden items and mostly decayed wooden items are indistinguishable from each other, so it makes repairing stuff pretty much guess work.

What I'd like to suggest is a toggleable option that either, highlighst decayed items (wooden expecially) in a really different, distinct colour, say blue for instance, or highlights them like objects behind buildings etc are highlighted. Such a small change would make the game seriously more pleasant for me, and , no doubt, other people who are partly colour blind.

is enough a red bourderline, for example, to be sure what is decaying and what's no.

[RayvenQ]

at least in my case, the red is too indistinguishable, brown being close to red, blue or yellow would be better as they're more distinguishable from the brown

Yea I think that giving the option to toggle the outline would help out a lot and allowing the option to either pick the color or have a few options would be a great help

Some more explicit way of seeing repair state would be good. Even for those of us with normal vision, it can be hard to tell if a normally red item like an oven is in repair or not, so I can imagine it's pretty bad if you're colorblind.

A toggleable overlay would help, as would making showing repair state a part of the "inspect" command for buildables we have been asking for for a while.

Jorb's just being lazy. He's supposed to draw a few broken states for every object.
And while you're at it, Jorb, why not draw a few states of construction as well?

And why don't you make some more great music! .

Anyways yeah it should be more noticeable. But for the time being you could use that sprite changer thing? Ive never used it myself personally.

I have no idea what this sprite changer is, and I'd probably have no idea how to use it.

I tried looking for the image for him inside of haven-res.jar didn't see any decay images so I figure either information for decay coloring is in the other files (NONIMAGELAYEr, or one of those others), or it's an overlay/color change in the coding, which I suppose is more likely since all things decay with the same overlay color.

For constructions I want the settlers 2 solution. For decay I am just "lazy".
