New interior freighter colour pallet

[AoEnwyr]

The new pallet for interior colours is great and look amazing with the new pieces. Unfortunately it makes it really hard to blend with legacy pieces and current existing furniture. Could we please have the new pallet extended to furnishings like chairs, tables and beds?

The old pallet is still available to all new parts. You just have to choose a corridor or any part from the last tab, edit the color, hit the back button till back on the tabs, choose your new room and place it. It will stay that color till you close the editor or accidentally go to the color pallet with new room in hand.

The same rout with using new color pallet. Obviously you would choose the new room first, pick your color, go back and pick other item you want that color for.

That exploit doesn't allow you to go back and recolour items as you evolve your design. You have to delete and rebuild them

Yes. But you can still use the old color pallet on new and new pallet on old. Deleting and replacing is still the easy part.

Not without exploiting a bug. That isn't a way to actually play the game. This post isn't asking how to manipulate bugs, it's asking for a valid feature incorporated into the game. While I appreciate you highlighting that a bug exists that can provide some functionality, that isn't a viable ongoing solution

You call it a bug, I call it a valid feature.
Why should HG invest money and time in implementing something when there is already a way to do it without any real hassle? Just because you call it a bug, when others don't call it that?
This won't happen.

Working around a situation is not an exploit. It's another option. Send a report if you just want to file a complaint. We're just gamers trying to help other gamers. You're welcome!

Guy has a point. New colors would be nice for furniture, it's like as usual, half done. Always having to use workarounds, cheats, exploits, console commands, etc., is just something we have gotten used to. Doesn't mean it makes much sense any more. HG certainly has the money to fix stupid stuff. I think we have gotten used to feeling sorry for the po little indie company. They are worth lots now and maybe need to be treated more like a "real gaming company" and less like 2016 version.
And it is lovely that gamers help other gamers in this forum, but HG maybe needs to become a more responsive company which is a legit complaint. Tho complaining here and not directly to them is probably a waste of time. My bad.

OMG.... You literally have two color pallets to choose from brought to you via a work around and as per instructed above. Which pallet do you want HG to drop so your lives are complete?

Why can't we colur our hair and change nose sizes???

[SaD-82]

Because Geks don't have noses!

I noticed this as well. Thank you for the workaround.

This is one of the reasons to keep an old save going or rather use the save editor if you really want to start afresh but do not want to loose old blueprints that were removed.

I guess it maybe challenging for them to maintain compatibility. There are dedicated players who still have Day 1 saves.

I never asked for anything to be dropped. Only to have the new colours extended to existing furnishings.

People in here are really getting their knickers in a knot over someone praising and update and asking for some continuity with a properly implemented game mechanic instead of having to rely on an unintended BUG.

A BUG is not a solution and if it is left as a solution, it’s sloppy design

As per instructed above. I have instructed above. Gee... I wonder why too.

It's just you who calls this a bug. You could call it a car and it wouldn't be one, yet.
This feature does exist for years: Swapping pallets for legacy and new building parts. It got never changed by HG - one of the reasons might be because it's a simple thing to do. Which everyone can do. Without breaking anything. A nice, simple solution to enable legacy pallet and new pallet side by side.
Would it be more easy to enable both pallets in one place without swapping? Sure. Would it be more easy to implement this? Well, that's the question. Are there more serious things to fix or change in this game. Absolutely.
Why wasting time with this, then?
