attention builders (endless mats)

[loaded]

i see alot of people moaning about the amount of mats you need to make a good size building, once you start getting T3 ESSENCE just like others you can break down to dust, now it takes 10 mins to earn around 300 t3 essence in the watch vault which breaks down to a massive 900,000 essence dust, you can buy all the lumber and ingots your ever need from a trader and build what ever you like

You buy resources?
Wow.
Building supplies are super easy to get without buying them.

like a small building needs 100 paint? have you ever really build late game complex structures or with better textures? 100 paints means 400 stone dusts and that 800 stone, super easy to get?

Yep. Paint is super intense. Also I am using nordic with pagoda floors because I would think that I need a more durable nicer stone floor than the wooden planks. That takes ceramics which also is stone powder. For anyone starting out, get a second stone bench to make stone powder. You'll need it.
Or I guess you could buy massive amounts of stone powder.

Yes. 30 minutes maximum not to mention the 450 gilded lumber and carved wood you would get as well. There is no trick or exploit to it.

edit for SS - this is a part of my last haul and took maybe 45 minutes because a couple of them were long runs and I stopped off to get some random bits too.

Something to look forward to as I sit in my hovel, dressed in rags.

I don't see a point to fancy complex buildings, If they add in a system to recruit survivors and actually manage a settlement like Rimworld, then you would need to feed and provide for them to make it all worthwhile.
