[Suggestion] Introduce Refined Gold

[MaXaRaYkIn]

Hello! I would like to propose a new idea and usage for Gold Nuggets.

Refined Gold Bar

Recipe: 3 Gold nuggets

Tier: Alchemy Engine

Tab: Refine Tab

Usage: You can use the Refined Gold Bar to create a new type of statues: Gold Statues. These have no real application besides looking pretty and more "premium" than the other statues. Kind of how Terraria's Trophies look.

It is a simple implementation of another use for gold, I believe it would also look very nice.

At the moment, the prettiest statues would be the one that require Moon glass shards or burning Antlion's spikes/pillars, since they have the glassy look, which sort of makes them shiny. I believe that a Gold statue would be more shiny and it also implies the "rich" status to a long standing server which want to makes their mega base look pretty.

In late game, I am always left with an excess gold nuggets. I believe this would help with that excess. 

Potential problems: Burned spikes/pillars from Antlion can't be gold.

Potential fix: Allow players to use a Refined Gold Bar on Antlion's statues (spikes/sandcastles) to make it golden. If the statues would be destroyed, the refined gold bar would be lost (since the refined part would be not "refined" anymore), and the player would get back 1-2 gold nuggets.

Also, if it is possible, the Potential fix from above could be used with other statues as well. Sort of like a gold coating the statues. This would mean that you either build the statues in early-mid game and upgrade (gold coat) them when in late game - consuming both the initial statues resources and then the gold for the coating - or you could just build them straight out of gold, if you can afford it.

Hopefully the devs will consider this, because I believe it shouldn't too hard to implement. Probably the graphical team would have a little bit more to work, since they need to "re-skin all the statues".

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you like it? Why?

You don't like it? Why?

All kind of criticism is appreciated!
