Statue skins/prints someday? Rose covered statues degrade

[Frosty_Mentos]

I never noticed this before but seems that these statues actually degrade overtime. That really sucks, cause we don't have the ability to build a tall Kingly statue nor there's actual harp statue to build for us. 

I wanted to have a center piece to a base with all of this around but I can't have that now since I can't restore them properly :/

Maxwell statue isn't consistent with it's degradation if you reload the world, so it stays up longer, sorta.

I'd appreciate more marble works and queenly statue to have tragedy and comedy variations with swords and so on, the lack of size and representation for some of them is a need for prettier builds. What the actual statues we find in the world do are showing off actual size to their compared to the player and the height really having builds look nicer.

Either one of these cases or have us be able to restore the statues with marble if wished to. Or other ways as mentioned. I get this is a story point and the world ages but we still lack those sorts of assets to build a similar-ish thing.

Oh yea this also doesn't have a print. A vase looks cool, just lacks flowers to furnish it with.

I didnt experience that as something permanent.  I think it just rolls which sprite is shown because i have seen statues completely destroyed one day and next day being normal or with less degradation

Yea consistency is something lacks with them. One of the statues that is a harp one is left to rubble where theatre costume hounds spawn which is an odd one.

I see this being intentional, but if Charlie won't let us preserve might as well we could make replicas of some of them looking more true to their previous looks.

I've always adored the chess / marble biomes / spawns the most. Also the roses do add a nice flavour. I didn't know they degraded after time. Such a pity. (in this case the chance of recrafting everything via the potterwheel would be a must!)

Agreed!

If for some reason Klei really wants to keep them un-craftable, letting us repair them with marble and then using beeswax on them (I know they aren't plants, but might as well make it the catch-all preservation tool for decorations) to prevent further degradation.

That is the thing, they dont really degrade over time. They seems to just rolls which sprite (broken, not broken, semi broken) every time you load them or the world or maybe is time based, not sure about that

i complained about the degradation too. Also, the pot statue looks really good too. Columns as well. 

I can't understand klei's reluctance to us having more freedom when it comes to building with naturally occurring objects. And watch, if they add it in, people will act like klei has found the cure to lupus.

OK I just noticed that sometimes a statue has roses on it. Glad this is just a cosmetic thing then.

Still, would be really cool to get the ability of building those statues, specially the pots and the angels

Characters have mentioned of wanting to put in flowers (or maxwell for roses) into the pot. Would make a neat set piece.

I feel like there were full harp statues still at the start of the world but they started degrading and staying in same broken down sprites ever since. Maxwell statue lacks consistency tho, but it does change sprite overtime if played long enough it seems.
