Actually, sand is still “white”, but makes light grey sandstone, and polished sandstone. Tried to find the “whitest” from th block depot, but that too made light grey. I’m gonna try another that appeared close in a bit. will report back.
I just double checked - Wenton and Storial both definitely do have #17 (2nd on top row) which isn’t completely white but it is the closest you are going to get in any current sand colors. I assume Ruchs too but I couldn’t find sand anywhere to confirm it.
(ironically- in the process of searching Ruchs I died and lost everything… including my last polished sandstone!)
So I checked the Depot, and grid th other “white” Color#4 (as opposed to 17), it created sandstone #4 and polished sandstone #4. However, they also look the same, light grey. perhaps another update will contain fixed colours for sandstone and polished sandstone (Like coal changed from white to grey to black…).
The Vaisier sand I collected was base color 0, and the sandstone created was also color 0, and it also looks light grey.
I the meantime I see no point “fixing” my temple, when I may have to do it again later anyway, I’ll continue with other projects.
I’m 98% sure there is no base color 0 - it’s a lie. I don’t know how to explain it right, but the natural block color of the world you are currently on will display as 0. So if you take a block from vaisier and it says its 0, its probably actually 16 - And any 0’s at block depot (lapas) would actually be 11. You can tell by teleporting with it.
A static visual indicator of block hue would be awesome, whether it be blatant like color names (red, grey…) numbers or even Oort Glyph to denote a unique type, we could certainly use them. Relying on the debug screen and comparing blocks side by side is not ideal.
Possible, I have had blocks “transmute”. On one world they are one color, but teleport to a new world, then teleport to the capital, or respawn and they change. I haven’t worked out the exact steps (I think it mostly happens upon respawn), but I have seen it happen, so it is possible that colour 0 simply means the “default” colour.
