🎨 Rental Planet Colors

On the flipside, they could have gone the Minecraft route…

Everyone gets green grass and brown timber. Period.

Hey, Vex that’s Minecraft …
… this is Boundless
… this is completely different
… we have multiple colours

[almund]

I like to have some colors that we haven’t had yet. But same time I wouldn’t like to build in planet that has that color available in nature…

Visiting on this latest cold exo made me remember that to me atmosphere color and effect is more important. Some stuff just don’t look most of time good at all with wrong atmosphere color

Maybe those middle model planets where players can customize more things but can’t take stuff to public worlds allows larger scale of color options. Maybe ask developers why colors are design to available like this.

…we aren’t stuck with a basic voxel world? Cool That must be part of BL’s secret sauce

[Clexarews]

Hey, Odeon I think she knows…
…she’s just showing how good we have it
…with our completely different
…multiple colors

[PrincessMaude]

Thank you so much for this!!!
Do you happen to know how many exoworlds there has been since the beginning?

[Spendra]

But this isn’t Minecraft. Part of the reason to play Boundless instead of Minecraft is the vast color palette… only we don’t have access to the entire palette, making the game not very “Boundless”.

[Gerentt]

Don’t have access to the entire palette yet

Folks, I was joking. I can’t stand Minecraft anymore.

[Gerentt]

Can anyone stand Minecraft anymore? Looking at your screenshot made me feel pathetic for even considering playing it again. The only thing I want from Minecraft is redstone. It was one of the few things I was actually good at lol

[Spendra]

Sorry, it’s quite difficult to tell when someone is serious, joking, angry, sarcastic,. etc on forums.

Likewise… my planet is going to be filled with mustards, green grass and foliage, greys, etc. I’ll be happy if mine doesnt even have gleam on it at all.

People seem to be more concerned about renting planets for the colours it will allow them to regen gather and less about what it will actually look like.

So while were at it… I want the tools to be able to terraform my T6 planet into a solid rock from mantle to alt 255 to make it a perfect diamond/hard coal spawning planet all over. It will double as a hunters paradise being perfectly flat with no surface liquid. I’m going to need another one of these for topaz… oh and I will also need an ocean planet with no underwater lava or altitude variation for my emerald paradise.

I’m also going to need 240 or so planets to give me personal access to every single colour of gleam that isnt permanent + an extra for pale cerulean as that’s a nightmare to regen grind currently. This should cover every colour in every other block also.

I’m going to need to get more jobs to pay the rental on these I think.

[Clexarews]

Only if you haven’t spent enough time on them to get to know MajorVex somewhat. I don’t think anyone here would ever seriously advocate that blocks be restricted to single colors.

Not me. Personally I want aesthetic colors that will go great with what I have in mind to build. If those colors aren’t available due to RNG though…

[GrayFrequency]

Same. I don’t care about regen farming the colors I want from my planet. I love building and aesthetics are a huge part of it for me too.

[Spendra]

I see. I’m not usually a big forum person, but out in the country with no game access and everyone is hungover still, so I have time this weekend Thanks for the info

Very Much This.

I was just discussing this with @AeneaGames in another channel and colors are like, second or third priority IMO in picking a world to ‘settle’ on.

[majorvex]

@Nightstar

They are very important to a lot of people though.

[wakeNbake]

@majorvex

Oh absolutely they are. And for the right reasons that’s a very valid point.

But being upset because you cant get a black gleam planet to regen mine isnt the right reason in my opinion.

Not everyone wants a rental planet for regen purposes. A lot of people want it to build on and couldn’t care less if people come harvest stuff from it. I don’t see anyone here that’s “upset”, just discussing things.

P.S. I hope to see black gleam on an Exo one day, or someone’s rental - not on mine though.
