who cares

You know, realism arguments aside, I don't think it hurts immersion to have objects look like something they could reasonably be.

Everyone knows that things that dont match in any way are the best.

ignoring the fact that inventory is completely abstract, small cupboards are a meter cubed

know what else wouldnt hurt immersion? you guys adjusting the art and bounding box of several objects that fail to conform to the grid, so they can be easily placed within cabins and cellars by shift-rightclicking

Because I still want to have decent graphics, and not a game that doesn't look like a game anymore. When I roam around to find forageables with x-rays, trees&stones hidden, I really can't say that graphics are nice. Atleast when I'm home, I would like to have decent graphics without crippling myself.


But you say your stone-mansion version is not ugly?

My stone mansion is a WIP, I'm nowhere near satisfied with it's current state.
And I don't like transparent stuff.

Took me damn near 30 tries to get that loom perfectly in the corner.

You need your OCD checked. See doctor.

I hope you do realize that you'll have to replace the loom once in a while as your q increases...

Which is why I don't actually build/place anything until I can get q40 boards and then usually I won't replace big items like that until there's a significant increase in quality.
