    When, will certain things be looked at that likely need addressing (cos every time I back into the same trap)
    If' it's something that can't be done then just say so!

    When are we going top be able to texture the Hydroponics units?
    Just now, it occurred to me that after 3500 hours of playing, I still cannot fathom why Hydroponics units NEED to have such ugly sides and bottom textures, really it makes the ceilings below a mishmash, or the floors need to be 13 feet thick, otherwise the lighting has to float 3 or 4 feet below the extra ceiling covering.
    And why do we even need them when plants grow just fine outside on the same planet?

    When, are we going to get a texturing overhaul?
    Perhaps addittions (more pages) to the current one, so we can have MOAR carpets, and flooring, wallpaper patternsand murals, designs that simulate something domestic, Grass, Dirt, and Sand, proper and varied Straw, more varied Symbols, with perhaps a few common words like Bridge, Office, Mess, Fuel, No Entry etc, I realise that these can be made by the 'competent user' with the screens and widget thingy (which I have no idea how to do) but we're not all experts with working minds.

    When are we going to get 'meshless placable objects?
    I've often seen in the wilds two things that have spawned so close together that they are toutching, for instance a harvestable plant and an ore rock, both can be harvested (if the ore is first)
    So it makes me question "Why can't I place two things in the same 8 cubic meters" it;s a big old place for one small thing, these extras could be non activating things like a lightsource* or a frivolous decoration... a potted plant, or footstool
    *an age old problem right there.

    When are we going to be able to face another direction when sitting on that massive sofa or the table and chairs? to actually sit where we point.

    Is it possible to allow for virtual cupboards to be sprayed* on with a texture gun? (small items 5-6 items)
    * where that texture acts as an activator

    Hopefully someone at Eleon will spend some time away from their twitter account and read through their own official forums, I feel the the traffic here has slowed to just Robot Shark,BB, Scoob and Me (and all I ever do is complain...lol)

    There are no plans for these which I quoted.
    There are also limits for any "additional" textures.

    That has nothing to do with the way the blocks that you the "player" have access to & place in the game.
    The "overlapping" you can see on playfields is due to the decoration placement grid algorithm & it's limitations afaik.
