On November 6th, Tynan started to "Art."

[Mystic]

And it was the most vague post the changelog has ever seen in the history of changelogs.

I think the new one is even less informative.

It's gotten a lot more information now ... and starts to address some of the questions that have been posed in this thread.  "Abstract sculptures can be created at the sculpting table. Installation spots can be designated."  So I guess that means we're going to get discrete pieces of crafted, placeable art, rather than a nebulous general buff to morale.  To which I say, "SQUEEEEE!"

And here I was hoping for sculptures of colonists. Then with the Boreal Forest biome all I'd need is prisoner forced labour and I could rebuild Stalin's USSR.

Yay!

Ah. Statues - the age-old bird crap collectors. On 25th century statues sh*t will practically flow down on its own due to advances in statue surface anti-crap technology! Perhaps the avian fecal matter would dry up and scatter in a record time due to the high-tech coating on the future statue. Only then, my friend, would the answer be blowing in the wind.

If things were up to me, I'd invest in genetic research to produce a bird species which fecal matter would mimic the surface where it'd land, camouflaging on it like a chameleon... no wait... that's a terrible idea...

Why not instead investigate if it could be possible to create bacteria that would break down avian fecal matter or even create something desired out of it, be it harmless gasses or even a new beautiful high-tech paint-like coating for the statue.

Will water hoses still exist in 25th century? Or will statues be banned from indoor spaces due to the hygiene risk they possess? I don't know where you guys live but over here birds will sh*t on statues, be the statue indoors or outdoors. Ever seen a magpie holding a stolen smartphone in its beak while it sits on an old family statue after you've come back home from work, so you just stare awkwardly at each other and you're not sure if you should step back out to give the bird some privacy? Happens every day somewhere around here. Better just leave the statues outdoors willingly. On the other hand, RimWorld doesn't seem to have birds.

Gotta let me walk before you ask me to run Abstract sculptures are the easiest to code and the most sensible starting point.

Looks like we will be allowed to build "stone gardens" by massing sculptures.

wait what? you're planning to have them be randomly generated pieces drawn by some algorhthyhthym and be always different? and not just pre-drawn items you plop down or am I just reading too much into that 'easiest to code' bit

Performance artist colonists able to distract enemies with strange dada inspired site specific installation performance pieces using strange headpieces and weird clothing.

I can already imagine what that would look like

[ToXeye]

I would like to see plastic surgery in the game, which is an average of your art and doctoring skill. And having the colonists have different facial features, which can be viewed in a certain profile. This way someone with a big nose can wish for a small nose, vice versa. Or similar things. Even removing facial scars.

It's possible the player can't control artists, and artists will just produce whatever the hell they feel like.

Then they'll be populating the local forums pasting leaflets and hastily made pictures all over instead of doing any real work =P
