[Suggestion] Snap-on Interior Walls and Cable/Pipe management
Since we now have permanent structures in the OW, a nice QOL feature would be interior walls that snap to the inside of the exterior walls. This is currently possible with stone and concrete foundation pieces, but this is not optimal in every scenario. This makes it a lot easier to do then just having to get creative to place other pieces in order to achieve the desired effect. Just compare to your existing home where you don't see the interior beams. For now, the existing texture that the stone and concrete have are fine. The existing interior wood walls should also be functional in this manner a well. A littler slider with a "stain" color selector wouldn't hurt for added flair.
With the addition of the interior wall now comes the improved ability to hide electrical and water pipes behind the interior wall. The one minor tweak the cable/pipe tool needs is just to allow it to snap in a linear fashion rather than making those weird loops at the ends where cable/pipe.

Gonzalo Ibarz MergedIt would be great to pop up interior woods on the back of the other's walls just to make houses and building better looking. For example, build stone wall and cover the back side with interior wood wall instead those wood beams and the same for concrete...

Dan Danese MergedWe like the stone and concrete walls. Gives us security from storms and better protection from animals and falling trees. But it's not pretty to look at internally. It'd be great to be able to apply the interior wood to the inside faces of the outside siding. This would give us the ability to make the outside strong and the inside cozy. As an aside, being able to paint the walls and roofs would also be awesome. That would open the design arena by a lot.

Steven MergedIs there a possibility to enable or add snapping of the Interior Wood to the for example the stone or Concrete walls and roof to make the inside a bit more pretty and further insulate? Like Concrete Wall +15 insulation + the Interior Wood Wall +3 Insulation = +18 Insulation. There is already a snapping option for the Concrete Frame and Interion Wood Floor.

GP Patch MergedAdding the ability to place interior walls. Maybe a track or frame system to allow this? Example: Stone outer wall for protection with a finished wooden wall inside for appearance.

Rat152for more advanced structures have the internal wiring and heating invisible/ internal to the wall or floor?
have all pipes and electrical allowed to be hidden from view?
this would help reduce graphics loads as well? -

Trulith MergedIt would be nice to have options for interior walls. Such as concrete/rock/etc. shelter on the outside with an interior wall finish. In practice, you could snap an interior wall to the opposite side of another wall.

RJS MergedIt would go a long way towards making nice looking constructions, if after we set up the primary structure of a house / building, we then could attach another wall to the interior side.
Ie I build a house with concrete panel back faced with steel beams and columns which I have see in the interior. I then attach another wall element to the that interior face of the concrete panel for example a dressed timber wall, in order to make the interior nicer.
I should be able to do this with all building elements for ceilings and walls, similar to how you can attach a floor to a foundation. -

J P MergedJust a thought, but once having constructed my beautiful (I like it!) and well-appointed base, I then had to wire in and plumb all of the benches, aquaria, crop plots etc and suddenly the floor, walls and ceilings are covered in 'ugly' utilities...
At the risk of making comparisons, could you not implement a system like that in use in Ark and allow a 'Hide' option for pipes n' wires?
Putting an electronics tool/water tool in your hand would - of course - make them all visible and amendable again, but surely if I can make a concrete wall I could also have the foresight to add cable management and unobtrusive plumbing too? -

anticlimber MergedThis is one that I'd really like to see. One of the most beautiful things about modern wood interiors is that there are some stunning interiors that can be created.
You can search Google for "cross laminated timber interior" to get a feel for what's possible.
The main thing from an Icarus player's standpoint is being able to create a "wood-lined" interior for buildings. I was originally looking for a feature upvote around filling out the shapes available with roofing...but this suggestion makes the most sense. It's probably also the hardest to implement.
For bonus points, allow choices of wood and stain ;) -

Noah MergedThe ability to place walls in the same spot, as long as they are facing in different directions. A way to add insulation and primarily, decoration. I find the inside of walls to be very ugly and want to be able to make it prettier. For example, I love the look of concrete on the outside, and (would) the look of brick walls on the inside.
