All Networks [Colony Control] Cosmetic Building Skins

[ItzEnd3r]

Colony Control is a game that is loved by a large part of the community so i would like to suggest that unlockable cosmetic skins (either from cubelets or bought with points) are added to the game!

Example i was thinking of (Tropical Miner Guild Skin):

I love the suggestion! I really think this has a good chance of being added!

I think this would be rather confusing for players and they wouldn't be able to easily identify which buildings are what, the current buildings have very unique designs and they stand out from one another, trying to keep this cohesion whilst having multiple different aesthetics is nearly impossible.

true, but every building has an npc with its name, and specific elements like the mine has the cave thing. So if a skinned mine also has the same cave thing it would be pretty easy to find out which one is which.

If you can show something visually without using text then we should, it makes everything easier to use. Also you can't see the text from a certain distance away, so if I enter an enemies area then I can identify a specific building from very far away and choose to attack it.

This is a cool idea, but one issue I see is with the compositions of the buildings. Certain cosmetic packs may have blocks that take more or less time to break than the current designs, and players could get an advantage by selecting certain skins that have harder to break structures. Using your design an example, the time to break sandstone is 33% longer than the packed ice which is the best block to break on the current build. I don't think this type of objective advantage is something people would want to be unlockable via cubelet, and there may be other issues in regards to which player's cosmetic your team gets.

Even if cosmetics were designed with balancing in mind, it would substantially limit the possibilities for the designs of buildings, and the types of skins that would be available.

I feel like you could keep the structure of the buildings the same and just add different blocks like sand, sandstone, etc. it

Such a great idea it's like shop skin in Eggwars it would be great to play with that

Maybe villager skin but with this I agree with what story say

Would the same shape but different blocks work better?

I feel like that also makes them not worth having, there isnt a lot of room for creativity here.

villager skins are a good idea!
