Does the game have a mass color cancellation feature (return to standard texture coloring)?

  • Good afternoon, dear colleagues! Can you tell me if the game has a mass discarding feature for coloring blocks? That is, like mass staining when using F8-2, only in the opposite direction, to reset the staining. Unfortunately, I did not find such an opportunity. It takes a long and tedious time to do this with a roller for coloring, each block separately.

  • If all elements have the same texture, you could use the "Change Texture" option (1st entry in radial menu) to reassign the same texture, but first right-click on the small color knob in the lower left corner of the texture preview (to reset the color). Assigning the texture now will reset the color.


    But the next update will add an additional "intensity" slider to the color picker dialog. If you set it to 0, you will be able to remove the color :)


    They really need to replace the color UI in create with the color UI on the roller since it is the only place with the remove color option.

    Oh, that's a great idea, I will change that with the next update! ;) :thumbup:

  • the create change texture was the menu was thinking of, no idea right click cleared it i guess the trick is to reselect the same texture? My experience was that the color change persists regardless, and I had to get the roller out to erase the colors.

  • If all elements have the same texture,

    I think sazhm means something different. I think he means that, for example, if you built a flower box out of 120 components, you accidentally or intentionally used different colors, and if you now want to reset all the colors to zero, it won't work.

    Yes, if you don't change or select the color by clicking on the small color knob (in the lower left corner of the texture preview), the game will keep existing color(s). But if you modify the color, it will overwrite the color.

    Right-clicking on the color knob resets the color selection (considered a "modification"), so the game will reset the color of all elements accordingly ;) Unfortunately the game provides no feedback about that, so it's not very obvious...

    Yes, that's also what I thought he meant ^^ Setting the color to zero isn't explicitly an option in the edit tools atm, but using the color option in the texture selection menu can be used as a workaround ^^

    No, I Can´t.



    Same Texture, diffrent color.

    Does that mean that the symbol circled in red is also available under F8 in the color editor?




    That would be grandiose.

  • No, I Can´t.

    Did you right-click on the small color knob in the lower left corner of the texture (on the right side of the texture selection)? That's the important step to remove the color from the textures ;)

    Yes and no ^^ If I understood the suggestion from krazmuze correctly, he wanted to have the entire dialog from the paint roller available instead of just the color picker, i.e the entire dialog which also contains the pre-defined colors. It will still have the sponge button (to remove the color) and also the color picker option (below the sponge button), so you can still select a custom color.

    In other words: if you select "Change Color" in the F8-2 tool, you will no longer get to the color picker, intead the paint roller dialog comes up - there you can either select a pre-defined color, hit the sponge button (to remove the color) or open the color picker to select a custom color. I.e it will look like this:


    Ideally we will also provide an option to change the pre-defined colors, so you can create your own color palette (but I'm afraid that won't make it into the next update yet).

  • Hast du mit der rechten Maustaste auf den kleinen Farbknopf in der unteren linken Ecke der Textur (auf der rechten Seite der Texturauswahl) geklickt? Das ist der wichtige Schritt, um die Farbe aus den Texturen zu entfernen

    I will try again. But yes i did serveal times. No clicksound and always in Gold and Red. :betrunken:

    And if I understood that correctly this sounds Damn good.:D:saint:

  • Oh damn, of course you were right. And of course I left-clicked like an idiot. How can you be so patient with people like me?😅👉👈

    Hehe, don't worry, it's actually the game's fault, as there is no real feedback on the click (except the click sound, but that can be heard quite often) :D It's anything but intuitive :saint:

    But I'm still glad to hear it worked! :) :thumbup:

  • Thank you all for bringing this up and big thank you red51 for clarifying this :thumbup:. Has been driving me nuts too. :drunk::crazy:
