Colour rarity is definitely my biggest turnoff at the moment.
I had planned to start a very specific large scale build on a sovereign world when they release… but unfortunately, 5 of the colours I need for the build (as per the image below from the testing environment) just aren’t available within the known universe. So I can’t even attempt to gather and craft the colours I want into usable building materials. I also always have very limited coin, so purchasing what I need is not a sustainable option either.
Knowing that these don’t exist in the live universe, and having absolutely no idea if they ever will become available in a non-time limited scenario (one where I’m actually online and can play, so that I can traipse across the universe and grind for them myself when I need them) is having the complete opposite effect on my desire to build anything. Currently I just don’t see the point in me even starting to build this, let alone renting a sovereign world to do so. It would be great, however, if I wanted to build this using Oxide Azure or Dark Cobalt though, as they’re each available as Meta Rock on 5 of the 50 permanent worlds. Unfortunately though, that’s just not the look I’m trying to achieve.
Creative worlds are absolutely not the answer to this particular problem either - it’s simply not the same thing as playing the core game. I want colours to be accessible… but not so easily accessible, they’re just handed to you.
