Custom Paint!

[errant tide]

On the regular biome Tech Web, a new item sits at the top right corner: Custom Paint! This item costs 1200 Butt-coins but it's price doesn't stay so high for no reason. When you grab it out of your inventory, it will be the same paint you last used. This seemingly boring item has more to it than you may think however. With the custom paint item you can hold the tip of the paintbrush towards the sky and press the triple lined button on your left controller. A mini menu will appear on the according side of the brush (If the brush is in your left hand, the menu appears on the right side/ If the brush is in your right hand, the menu appears on the left side. This menu allows you to select a custom color for your paint through a sliding system, similar to the images shown. Once selected press the big green button to confirm, or press the small X in the top right corner to exit the menu, and change the color back to what it was previously. This paint item will allow you to get ANY color your imagination can....... imagine..! More features flood the menu though, so let me get to those. First up: the eyedropper tool. When clicked, a plain white paint brush is in your hand.. but when you try to paint items, they don't do anything. Well that's because the paint brush works backwards! Objects you try to paint actually paint your brush, meaning that you can reverse paint a red wood block, and your paint brush is red now. It works the same with the custom colors as well: reverse paint it, and watch as your paint brush becomes that color! Once you are happy with the color on your paint brush, click your trigger and enjoy your new color. On the menu lies yet another option: Lightness and darkness. This option is vertical slider that allows you to choose between white, black, and anything else in-between! Finally sitting in the top left corner of the menu is a reset button that simply resets your custom color back to white. That's all for my idea, and I hope you like it!!

W IDEA

[slim bane]

Kam this doesn’t

No

It’s not

[long canyon]

Defeats the purpose of the other paints ? Tho this would be incredibly useful

[errant tide]

yeaahh

[long canyon]

How did u know what I was gon say 😭

[slim bane]

lol

This would ruin dev specific paints. Also they couldn’t do things by paint color anymore like sounds

and imagine you lose the color and you have to repaint all the ziplines or whatnot

[long canyon]

They said smth abt a color picker

[slim bane]

You think I’m reading all that?

If we had something like this that paint bucket idea would be better

[long canyon]

To summarize: hold it and press menu button, custom color menu comes up. Reverse paint feature; basically color picker. There's also light/dark menu?

[errant tide]

dev paints could basically be impossible to get on this item. if you have a dev paint color selected ir something close to it, the paint wont work. and you also cannot use the eyedropper on dev colors

[slim bane]

Yeah I just read it

[long canyon]

🫃

[slim bane]

Defeats the purpose of other colors anyway

This better https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1232360641222938645

More useful

[long canyon]

I completely forgot abt this post

[slim bane]

It’s better because other colors have a use, and you can reuse colors by remembering the formula

[errant tide]

it doesn’t completely. Instead of grabbing the whole custom color paint thing, grab the other color. the custom paint would only be used for colors inbetween

[slim bane]

and you can get more specific outcome

[slim bane]

paint bucket just so much better tho fr

[errant tide]

both are useful but i agree. I still think that this could be important

[slim bane]

No the other one is better

[gaunt roost]

How many buttcoins will it cost?

[slim bane]

And if we had a mechanic like this the other one would be more useful practical and efficient

[errant tide]

1200

[gaunt roost]

Ok

[slim bane]

I hate when people put the Buttcoin amount in the suggestion

[errant tide]

i think BOTH would be useful

not just one or the other

[slim bane]

why would this be useful if we have the other

[errant tide]

because one paint buckets and the other gives custom colors, big difference

[leaden glacier]

Good idea but the button to open the menu is already bound to the settings menu

[gaunt roost]

Why

[errant tide]

yes but it would only open thw paint menu when holding the brush

[slim bane]

If we have the paint bucket we wouldnt need this I don’t see how this could be useful in that situation

[leaden glacier]

Would be difficult to code it that way, it’s easier to just bind it to pushing in a joycon or something

[errant tide]

you aren’t comprehending what im saying. The bucket would only be useful for filling areas, while this one helps get colors inbetween the default ones

[slim bane]

It’s not that hard to code but it’s bad for the game anyway

[errant tide]

yes i see now, that would be alot easier!!

[slim bane]

I know everything you are saying, but you don’t utter a single word worth comprehending. Did you even read the bucket suggestion? You clearly don’t know what it is.

[leaden glacier]

But the point is that this removes the purpose of adding new brush colours in later updates, I had a similar idea to this a while ago and I think it’s just better to just wait for more brush colours to release. Maybe one day the team will add a similar idea but I just think it isn’t really needed at the moment

[errant tide]

i didnt XD I get it now

[slim bane]

The paint bucket would be better because you can get specific colors, and remember formulas to get them. You also have to pay to get new colors each time. It also ensures that other colors still have a purpose.

[errant tide]

yes

I’m going to bed now.

[snow ridge]

i like it

[molten vigil]

He said it could save the colour didn’t he?

[slim bane]

Yeah I guess but paint bucket is still better

[shadow wave]

This will lag the game like crazy, the amount of different materials needed is crazy and the colour pallet is simple and good as it is right now
