More T6 Metal options?

[DamienLoki 0]

I think that more options for T6 armour and tools would be interesting, lending people to personalise more with the end game materials.

 

Given that red and blue steel are identicle except for a few T2 alloys, it suggests that those alloys are what determine the colour of the armour. If those alloy combinations could be changed to allow more colours, such as rose gold and bis bronze make a purple steel, or brass and sterling silver make a yellow.

 

Obviously there would be some issue with the protection given, perhaps one could be better protecting from crushing, and another a middle ground, etc.

More colourful armor could be fun. If aethetics become a thing, maybe we can do gold and silver inlays too.

You know, I actually had a post a while back about adding an optional and highly difficult 'finishing' step to smith-ed items to make them more decorative. I think this would be a nice way to do that

That might be a little difficult though to present in a 16x16 texture.

 

Which makes me think, didn't there used to be plans to potentially convert all of TFC to 32x textures? What happened to that?

I may be wrong, but wasn't that one of RogueHydra's things? I do believe he is no longer the texture artist for TFC

Capt_Slowpoke is the current texture artist. There was indeed a debate at one point to convert everything to 32x, which would essentially just take the Block Heads texture pack, and make it the default textures.

Eventually the idea was scrapped, and it was just decided that if people want 32x, they can use that resource/texture pack.

I think having the chance to inlay or trim armor and tools would be awesome and something we should keep at the top of the list.

I'd also prefer some ability to change final look of the armor - but only to a certain degree - change of tint of armor's default color, slight change in model or texture (so, say, every armor from iron up will have an option of sporting enclosed helmet). I do not like OP idea of adding new high tier metals just for variety in armors. Arguably, buckets aside, the whole tier is decorational at this point as usually by the time one has enough materials to make full suit of red/blue steel armor, there's no need for one.
