Coloured Plans

[SagelyPotato]

I'm currently in the first year of an ice sheet mountain base build (-70 to -25 degrees C) and have reached the stage where I'm seriously planning my hydroponics building and the mountain base itself. Its not a major issue but I have found the current planning tool to only be sufficient for marking cavities in cliff faces or walls in the open, its good for a rough outline but not too helpful for detail.

Now, detail may not be crucial but i find it a lot easier to plan when i can visualise it; things like where the hydroponic basins and furniture will go or how many shelves and/or workbenches i can fit in a room. As such, i think some way of differentiating between open space and its intended contents would go a long way to streamlining the planning of structures.

All that needs to be done is to add a second planning tool (erase plans tool would work for both) which is 50% more transparent, or otherwise just noticably darker. For such a simple addition i think it would make planning that much easier for those who care, and even those who dont.
