MAP EDITOR "fill with lab tiles" = option to change "fill with"

[Green Cat]

The reason why i wrote in all capital map editor is to make it very very very very clear: "oh but i need the sqares to do exact build!!!!" is NOT a valid arguments since all you need to do is go to the tiles tab, slect the lab tiles, and now you have the lab tiles

my suggestion is not to remove or replace the lab tiles

my suggestion is about the map editors function of "fill with tiles" and "new chuncks to have tile" to be a tile we can select via drop box.

Why?

The lab tiles can be annoying when checking around.

to prevent this you might create "land" but that causes issues like missing something because it "blended" in and is small

"So???? just use concrete!!...... after all what you are suggesting is that we change the tiles, so insted of Lab tiles we can select refined concrete, or the unused version of refined concrete like Black Refined Concrete, no? is this not what you are suggesting???"


Correct but also wrong.

I said tiles, it is correct i said tiles... but... concrete is an "item" tiles (can be saved by blueprint, destroyed, affect stats, replace, so on), and what i actually mean with "change tiles" is to chose what IMAGE is shown.

as in, the "new" system to be a simple "fill with tile image". And the default is "use lab image". Like this there is no conflict with the actualy lab tiles

And, because we are chosing just the IMAGE, it means even if we chose lava, it's not lava, just image. Refined concrete? same, as in, it's NOT refined concrete, it just uses the same image.

Meaning even if we use refined concrete as an "image", there is no "refined concrete".

And on top, this also means when we want to "change the image" all we need to do is just change the new drop box in map editor because this is why i wrote in capital. This is a pure map editor, so we actually have more options, nothing get's replace or removed. Plus it will be very fund on PvP games as well as "challange" scenes where people don't realise some of the tiles are "fake", like lava ... see, this is exactly what i mean. Someone only needs to take out an offshore pump and imedieadly see that there are Fake tiles because it uses just the image and not the actual tile

Feature exists:

Tiles
The tile editor mode allows to place any kind of tile, anywhere. The brush mode can be used for bulk placing and the paint bucket can be used to easily replace one tile type with another.

Good Luck!
