Going to update you guys on a thing we've been playing with for quite a bit now.
Bases are being remastered, and to coincide with this, the introduction of FURNITURE!
Before I go into that, we're introducing GEM COLORING to coincide with that.
GEM COLORING:When a block is mined, a mess of gems and dirt fall out, which only you, or a friend with build trust, can pick up.
OR before you pick it up, pull out your printgun and extract the coloring!
It will make the gem colorless, and renaming it, for example, Extracting color from an Amber Gronium, will render it as a Bland Gronium.
This of course reduces the price of the gem, the price however may be made up in price of extracted color.
Theres option #2 on this, which is finding the extraction miner.
He'll charge you, but the gem retains color making it more profitible. The downside is that extracted color is much less, keeping things in balance.
Either way, you get color which you can sell or use. Which ties into furniture.
FURNITURE:Furniture is simply decoration for your base, purchased from vendors.
There is a twist, however.
Each article of furniture has at least ONE paintable area.
This is where gem coloring comes into play, the gem colors, which are purchased or extracted, allow you to buy furniture colored in the paintable areas.
Here's some of the current furniture:
Standard Bed
Standard Desk
Standard Shelves
Standard Shelves filled with Trophy Gems
*
Standard Lamp
Standard Table
Large Identification Rug
Regular Identification Rug
Door Identification Rug
Here's a quick sample of how it might look with some of the current furniture, green colorings, and unmodified base size.
Note: Trophy Gems
* may not have accurate coloring, but have accurate shapes.
Throughout the furniture section, You may have noticed most are titled Standard.
This is because I want to know any types of furnature you'd might want.
Please leave feedback, questions, or requests on this.
*Trophy Gems are made when your "replicate" a gem you found, for either bragging rights or for other reasons.
Trophy gems cost nothing to make, and can only be placed. Only one trophy can be made per gem. Colors cannot be extracted. Trophy gems cost nothing when sold, as they are fake replicas.
