Why wont my paint show up on wood walls?

[lexigirl895]

It wont let me paint my house. Works on other things...can you not paint wood walls???

I wonder the same, I tried to paint in white but there is no visible difference. Some other dyes are barely visible. I hope it will be fixed.

Try a primer first ........

paint it and then leave render or log out and back.
Not 100% which but i painted a few wall signs behind torches to see if it would make them brighter .. nothing changed till much later they were white as id painted them.
** other than being brighter to look at the torch and white sign, it did not light up the room more. =(

also as an aside on painting. you can paint wall/standing/torches Flame any color you want. Mist or Ice(hint of blue) give you a bright white light like the Electric but with out the fps drop when you open doors. after you leave render and come back the light cast will match the flame.

@MrBishop077

Very interesting, thank you for the tip. I will test that.

@Elgar Have you tested this yet? I have relogged a couple times plus tried to de-render and still no change to my wood and stone structures.

I want to make a whitewashed stone tower but the white dye seems to have negligible effect. The white dye works well on crafting stations, storage, and industrial stations though.

Yep, no change for me, the white dye is not visible on my wood structures, even after leaving rendering or logging out.
