[Suggestion] Paint/Visual Mask for building pieces - Stone/Concrete looking like Wood/Thatch, etc

49 votes

I love the way some of my stone and wood buildings look, but wood isn't feasible for storms and even stone wears out. Aluminum doesn't seem much better than stone, and concrete looks... like horrible brutalist architecture. It's not a big thing, but I tend to get nit-picky in my construction projects and would love to be able to mix and match without stressing about storms or having to stay in the shallow end of the pond.

What about a way to make things like concrete look like something else? A sort of paint tool, or a sort of paint recipe with each construction type? Example, you can make Thatch, you want to build a cabana, but where it's at you'd rather it be stone-strong. The Thatch building has a new recipe for like, an applique you can build using some of the same ingredients and slap on. The hammer still shows the right material and hit points, but just visually looks like the other type.

Extra incentive; more deco pack options with that!

The additional of some sort of paint workbench where you can create paint to make buildings look much nicer.

This would be a nice touch, though I wouldn't want it to be done before more important things like increasing talents, drop ship slots, or even making a rifle sight with a cross hair instead of just zooming the frame (not that that frustrates me...).

just 1 tiny thing and a bit of essence of game. But is there a chance for a wallpaper option? between the choices of durability versus looks many choose durable concrete. but i like the way my medieval keep looks like and don't want to keep repairing it after every storm. can i have wallpaper to give ugly concrete the look of any other material and translucence in case of glass but keep the durability of underbuilds? or at least just looks, cos basic construction says, firstly walls, then drywall then wallpaper for looks. please.

For concrete there could for example be ingredients to mix in to the concrete, when crafting it, to make it have different colors. Iron oxide for example.
