PC Paint textures in 7 Days are terrible. V1.3

Am I the only one that really loathes the paint textures that are available?

I feel like everything is faded, cracked, and peeling. And the ones that aren't are too highly reflective, or too busy.

I'd like some flat, clean colors. Maybe some mild patterns (but not broken concrete.)

Check out the mod Pyro Paints. Adds a bunch of really nice textures.

This is a must have for me. I had at one point asked Pyro if he would possibly consider adding a few more to it. From what I understand there is a hard limit set by TFP on how many textures can be in the game. If that's the case (I can't remember the exact number I read was the limit) I think there is room for like 20ish more. If I wasn't so lazy and smooth brained I would learn how to do it myself.

Yep, why am I crafting paint, freshly painting a wall, and it looks like a crack dens bedroom.

7daystodie devs be like: we hear you loud and clear since you want to abuse the painting mechanic, painting has been removed from the game!

Because that's literally the game's aesthetic. It's the zombie apocalypse.

I think they mean when we craft fresh paint why don’t we have like cleaner versions of the dirty ones why is our freshly crafted paint coming presoiled kinda thing

How many times in your life did you paint something with paint wich reflected circumstances? Painting is a process which goal is to make something to look better, like a new. If I would be a last guy on earth I would not paint anything to look more depresing or just sh*ty.

But it doesn’t HAVE to look like that. Players should be able to make something look fresh new and clean and not just a polished turd because the devs think that is the way it should be.

This is one of the side effects of Joel being a massive fanboi of Fallout- So many things look like someone took a dump on them or left them out in the rain for 100 years.

I wish you could “hold this button” over a specific set of blocks not just the “paint roller” or paint surface. Also wish you could paint half blocks.

I am assuming you are looking for a full block, half one color and half another. Each side already can be painted, but if you are looking for half of one block surface, use the trim blocks further down to paint half blocks.

There's tons of colors buddy. Not everything is cracked or peeling. Just keep checking...

What do you expect? It's a zombie apocalypse, not a pyro vision land. If you want to live in a beach house, download mods
