Title: Roof toggle shows different color for roof types
Post by: AnActualDuck on September 01, 2018, 01:00:16 PM
I'd just like to see a different color based on the type of roof over an area; cave or manufactured. Maybe just a darker green if the roof is a cave roof. From what I understand insect hives only spawn in areas with a cave roof so it'd be nice to know where my roof starts and the cave begins without first deconstructing a roof. I know some of you may think this is a simple thing to remember or just avoid building roofs that attach to caves or whatever but I often forget and it's a small tweak to help.

Insect hives only spawn under MOUNTAIN roofs.

...which have a different roof color. They're a much darker green than just natural roofs.

From what I can tell natural (but non-mountain) and constructed roofs behave exactly the same way so there is no in-game reason to prefer one over the other.

Oh, really? I guess my last game I just didn't notice a difference when I was playing, maybe I wasn't paying attention properly. Well thanks for the heads up and I'll watch out more closely during my current game.
