Turfs need to a reprioritization, don't you think ?

[ADM]

I post this on Return of Them because this problem trigger me more often since the Moon Crater Turf is now avalide, it's a good looking Turf, the Moon-Style is something I like for base building cause we have a lot of buildings and ressources related to this.

 

BUT now I want to know who's the responsible of this :

Even before this Turf, we had a couple of them that had a higher priority : Sand, Deciduous, Scaled Flooring, and many others in caves

When RoG released I was like "Okay, the sand and falling leaves go other, maybe it's logic", but I don't really like this.

 

If you know how turfs are made in game, they have an ID and bigger the ID is, higher will be the Turf priority among others.

So the devs can't edit the order of Turfs by sorting the IDs or it'll shuffle every Turfs of existing world...

(like a Desert full of Marble Flooring, for exemple)

But to be honest I'll be very pleased if one day, these Turfs get this reprioritization :

Left is edited and right original order

Yeah, this is definitely a good idea. I often get upset about how high carpeted flooring ranks and how it drowns out other turf. The only viable way to fix the IDs that I can think of is just changing the ID numbers of every turf in the game. As for the existing worlds, they can just wipe our worlds (again).

How about making the pitchfork no longer function as a weapon and instead have a left click action where you can click on a turf to cycle through it's priority. Then all the turfs at world creation could maintain their stock number but we could cycle the priorities ourseives for our base building.

They could add a new variable specifically for turf prioritization instead of making it dependant on ID number. It'd help modders, too. Mods would be able to customize turf prioritization on both vanilla and modded turf (maybe even clientside!).

This is all very wrong, turf priority is not based on tileID, but the order that each turf's properties are defined in worldgentiledefs.lua.
Its very easy to mod, and can be changed without messing up any existing worlds.

Looks like that problem has been fixed recently:

Probably because carpets go on top of things. I don't see how it can't be at the top of priority.
