Discovered Decals and Paints - This addition would be nice!

[Uber Noobage]

Throughout the time I have been playing the game, I have found a metric ton of different paints and a number of different decals too which is always nice as it gives you customisation options.

With that being said though, it would be really nice to be able to have the ability to craft a specific decal or paint that you have previously discovered, in a similar manner to the customisation machine. This would really help counter the RNG when it comes to whatever your personal taste is when it comes to customisation.

As an example, in my time playing I have found 4 sets of the flame decals which just isn't something I will ever likely use, but I have used the one and only Arda decal that I found and now that I need more I cant seem to find another anywhere.

Similarly, I have found one can of government yellow paint that is running dangerously low, but I have found about 10 cans of each of the black, red and white paint in my travels.

I have been feeding the spares of both the decals and the paints into the deconstructor as I had read that it sometimes will give out other colours and items, but so far I don't seem to have received any that way at all though I have found a few other colours from deconstructing dumpster pearls.

The tl:dr is that it would be really nice to have a paint/decal mixing/crafting station where you could make your own once you have discovered them in game just so that you can cruise around without having your own style feeling compromised!

I mostly find the same colors as you, including the one tin of government yellow in 20h of playtime.

Decals I have a lot of white and black stripes. Some of the 'dirt' ones, 2 numbers and a couple of flame decals as well.

i have yet to find 2 paints and 2 decals and I have collected HUNDREDS of paints and decals.

I have like 20 red paint cans. yet to find those elusive 2 im missing tho.

same for decals. ive gotten like "numbers" 20 times. (hate that one) and yet I keep seeing people with this tri-striped one that gives 80s-90s vibes and i havent gotten it once.

but ive gotten the arda paint job 30 times lol.

EDIT: there is a huge variety.

specifically check box trucks and arda trucks they spawn the most there, and there will ALWAYS be 2 on highway strips.

take 3 highways in a row and you can easily get a large handful of decoration stuff.

I'd love a machine similar to the decoration one that stores paints and decals and then let you craft or just store them there for collections sake, they break and disappear after a while so I just end up hoarding them

i want my weird wagon but i cant cause of the rarity. i mostly get wood panels though. it needs to drop when scraping like paints

It would definitely be nice for more paint storage, it's really easy to fill the shelf. Any spare paint I find I just breakdown for chemicals at the minute.

I should add, I have got an amazing range of colours in my playtime including stuff like macha, evergreen, light blue, beige etc as well as those particular colours in abundance.

Same with decals, I have something like 8 or 9 different types stored and have multiples of most of them.

I know how easy it is to find paint and decals, i'm just pointing out that the RNG isn't always in tune with what we individually want and so it would be nice to have a way to still use the ones we actually want to use as we replace parts with upgrades and stuff.

I agree, maybe let us turn decals we have into other decals we have discovered. would make the ones we dont want have a use.

Absolutely. They have the transmute thingies in ARDA outposts for components so they could definitely add something in that is lore friendly that could do it for paint and decals too.

Have you unlocked the decal vending machine for the garage yet? You can use that for when you have unlocked all of the research that requires stable kLIM.
