Oh boy, I somehow didn’t see this thread.
Please bear with me, Most of these are just opinions I wanna get out there.
Rocks.
Not a fan of the new rock texture, but that aside, something with the update fucked them up a little. They all produce these weird high-contrast shadows on themselves that look bright at night and almost look like toonshading. I recall the martian rock was styled this way before, but now they all are. Watch this, especially the second rock:
Old rocks
New rocks
Glass Full Frame Thick
I had a lot of these set to solid white before, and I wouldn’t mind if had to manually re-adjust the colors back, but now it’s impossible. Here it is, side-by-side with the thin frame.
Grid bookcase
On top of the color-griping from above, I consider giving this a woodgrain finish an aesthetic downgrade. This item was a favorite building block of mine, so I preferred it’s solid coloring. Also, it looks like it took direct inspiration from the Ikea Kallax, who’s hyper modern style is better complimented with a solid finish anyway.
This probably flies smack in the face of optimization, but a new or different version that’s already perfectly square and solid would be nice.
Chrome trash bin
Just a personal gripe. I love the improved quality of the new chrome trash bin model, but it’s surface is much more frosted than “chrome” now. This is very apparent with how I like to use them, turning them into upside-down pancakes for super reflective metal pedastals.
Old
New
Vault Door
I consider this is one of the coolest items in entire game, but I absolutely detest the tacked-on ramp.
It’s extremely obstructive if you want to place it in any way other than perfectly upright and away from a ledge, but not only that, the bottom side doesn’t have a texture, which I assume if for optimization.
You know what would be even more optimized, though? Just ripping the ramp off entirely. If people want a ramp, they have the tools to easily build one however they like.
Theater Milestone Trophy
Chessboard
I love making this item a decorative centerpiece, but when it draws that much attention, people frequently ask me why I didn’t bother to put all the pieces on it, like it was my decision.
Also, it’d be fucking rad if you could change the color of the white spaces, as well as the color of the corresponding pieces.
Katana
This is just another artistic gripe, but the proportions between the handle and the blade is kinda wild, just sayin’
For reference:
Sedan
I figure this is just an asset ripped from a map, but the sedan could really use an undercarriage, even if it were just flat textures. It’s not unthinkable that someone would want to put this on a garage lift, or a still scene of it flying through the air, or any other scenario where you’d see underneath it
Fancy Sofa & Chair
There’s a gap on the fancy sofa and matching chair.
That’s everything I can think of for now lmao
