Owlrust Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Others have asked about changing the icons or altering them in some way, but it occurred to me, why not be able to change them ourselves if we want? We have many-many icons that already exist in-game in the form of items and recipes. My proposal: Be able to personalize the icons by dragging the image of the recipes directly onto the icons themselves. Kinda hard to explain so I made a mock-up of how the icons would look "personalized". Personalized: And here's the un-altered for reference: What do you guys think? I feel this would give players a lot of freedom to personalize their crafting menu in a way that fits them.

. . . Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 That would be amazing, buuut I would also be just fine with colored icons like before too make them able to be instantly be recognizable ! Rn with everything just being black if you have the crafting UI hud small (like I do) because you don't want it to cover half the screen it's easy to make stake one of the icons for something else because there are so many of them and they all are just pure black.

goblinball Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I don’t think this would really make much of a difference. I imagine after some time, choosing a crafting tab will be muscle memory and we’ll all have the locations of them memorized so we won’t need smth like this.

Baark0 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Part of the problem I have with the new menu is that everything looks so samey being all coloured black. The old menu has so much variety in the colour scheme that really makes each tab stand out Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/138046-suggestion-be-able-to-personalize-crafting-icons-using-icons-of-existing-crafting-recipes/#findComment-1545944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we get some level of coloration in the final version. I wish the icons were colored and there were less of them. Would anyone really be confused if there was one weather tab that contained cold, warm, and wet gear? Is someone not understanding what fire is, that the things with rain in the name and look waterproof help with rain, that the big puffy clothes keep you warm, and the Hawaiin shirt with summer in the name that you can only craft during summer keeps you cool? Or the huge ice cube or cold watermelon on your head, the amulet made out of the same gem that makes the ice staff, the big comedic fan, the fire that claims to be from opposite day... They're all pretty telling and I don't think anyone would be confused. Weapons & armor, rain & cold & heat, cooking & farming & fishing... Feels like they made the UI first then kept separating tabs until they had enough to fill it in right.

I didn't even know the Rain Coat gave winter insulation until they added it to the Winter Items tab. I really don't get what would be gained by reducing the number of filter buttons by 3-4, if it means doubling or even tripling the actual contents of said filters. I could do with some more color though. The UI needs more pep and zing!

The same thing that would be accomplished by adding color to the UI. I want less, more colorful buttons. You want the same amount of buttons, but more colorful. Others want less buttons without more color, and others want it to stay just how it is. It's just aesthetics of how the UI looks. I think it looks a little cluttered right now. The winter & rain tabs barely have anything in them as it is, and it's not like you're crafting a new beefalo hat every 5 minutes. 7 minutes ago, QuartzBeam said: didn't even know the Rain Coat gave winter insulation until they added it to the Winter Items tab. It is currently erroneously in summer instead of winter insulation.
