LeadfootSlim Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (Image liberally borrowed from this post on a 250-cycle plus base) Being able to see gasses at a glance is great, but after a certain size the space behind the base begins to feel... empty. Maybe it's the endless clouds of Polluted Oxygen, or maybe it's the strangeness of the Mona Duplisas, but I get the feeling that vlsually there might be some benefit to having a "wallpaper" tile behind the clouds. Nothing that'd directly obscure the gas mix, but just enough subtle tiling or patterns to fill that empty space. Different gasses could also have different opacities; maybe Oxygen is the only gas that lets you effectively see the wallpaper tiles from a distance as an indicator of a safe environment. Different colors or use of half-colored and quarter-colored tiles could allow one to make mosaics, markers, designations or just decoration. It'd also be a nice way to increase decor and more clearly delineate between "inhabited" and "utilitarian" areas. You could even have a more visible default "mineral" background/wallpaper lurking behind the resident gasses to better differentiate biomes and areas claimed from them. What say you? Is the gaseous canvas in need of a better backdrop, or is it fine as-is?

Catteflyterpill Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I don't think I'd really use wallpaper that much. The gases are important to see, but I guess one could always switch to the oxygen overlay, if needed. Personally, it would just put more work on my plate, but I think that this could be something useful and fun for a lot of people. I think that this could be some content that would be nice later, but just as detail cleaning when there isn't so much content missing. Still though, sounds like something that a lot of people would appreciate.

x4550 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Gases could be invisible in front of wallpaper, and the oxygen overlay could show all gases discretely. I already switch to the oxygen overlay sometimes expecting it to show natural gas as orange and chlorine as green - that feels intuitive. The background does get a little ominous. Wallpapers are a great idea. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/79511-wallpaperbacking-tiles/#findComment-928232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
