The Boring but Practical Wishlist

I'm calling this the "boring but practical" wishlist because it's things that don't really have much of a theme or are heavily tied to the cultures/settings existing in the game already, but are rather generic sort of items and effects that anyone could make use of.

But anyhow, one thing I feel like housing is lacking for customization is a lot of "basics" that you could use as a baseline for building a theme around and some generic clutter that you shove into places. So I made a list of things that I feel would be really helpful to everyone despite how "boring" it is.

* **Stone, Metal, and Glass Building Blocks.** Similar to the recently added wooden building blocks (the platforms, walls, stairs, and pillars) that are dyable, I think that having versions in stone, metal, and glass would give people more options for walls and divisions. * **More texture options for the walls, floors, and ceilings.** Being that they're often just 2D textures, it can't be that difficult to add in more patterns and options to what's already existing in game. Even just having some more floor and wall options that feature woods that can match the current wood dyes we have would be more than enough at the moment. * **"Generic" Option features more colors**. As it stands, the "generic" option for trims/features/doorways is only in one wood tone, often not matching a lot of decor dyes that people use. Just giving it a "Light, Medium, and Dark" option like the others have alone would be enough for now, and can be expanded on later. * **Particle Effects.** Something I'm surprised by is the lack of some basic particle effects for things like fog, mist, fireflies, or even some ominous fel energy. I'd imagine that these would be limited to indoor use only, and that scaling the object would just scale the size of the emitter, making a larger patch to cover more area. * **Lighting Effects.** While it's possible to use some objects (especially the windows) to create some area lights, I feel like having just the basic light itself would be far more versatile for people who don't want to spam certain objects. And again, scaling the object would be simply increasing the size of the light and how far it shines. Likewise, I also suspect that this object would be indoor use only. * **Double Doorways.** Right now we just have the option for a narrow doorway for a single door or simply removing the wall all together on a room. A double door option would be great for a variety of reasons, with of course being able to have two doors open for a grand entrance, that is. * **Small Staircase Room.** While we can build our own stairways to access other floors in an empty stairway room, some of us just want to have a small stairwell to access other floors without using a massive room for it. These much smaller rooms could be a small square with a spiral staircase or a long hallway with a straight staircase. * **Generic Clutter.** These are small items that you just stuff into a space or throw in somewhere that should be cheap and can be bought from a local vendor in your neighborhood. The items I'm specifically thinking of are: * **Book Rows and Stacks.** While we already have some book decor in game, you need to either grind old currency in TWW, get something from DF crafting, or get random single books from various vendors. These "generic" books would be pretty basic, dyeable, and come in short and long rows along with short and tall stacks. Throw in a few stacks of paper while we're at it too. * **Basic Fabrics.** From a nicely folded pile of sheets/towels to a misplaced sock, these items are meant to be shoved in shelves, closets, and other places where you just need some linens at. Also dyable. * **Sacks of Stuff.** Just big burlap sacks with no extra fills or spikes. Get it in a single, double, triple, or stack! * **Kitchen Essentials.** Pots, pans, plates, basic cups, and maybe even a plate setting (because I don't think anyone wants to have to place every single fork and spoon on the table). We've got all these tables, but nothing really to actually put on them for the cheap. Maybe even throw in a basic old school cauldron. * **Small Storage.** Flat wicker baskets, small metal boxes, flat packs, and much smaller crates and tins that you can shove into shelves, onto tables, or have scattered around. * **Basic Tools of the Trade.** While we did get a few shovels, saws, and pick axes, we could certainly use more of these that are cheap and easy to get. Perhaps even a few racks just for holding these tools.

All in all, that is my general wishlist of some things I'd like to see added in soon that isn't tied to a specific theme/faction in the game. Because we could always use more "generic and boring" stuff to help fill in our homes.
