Thanks for putting it there as well Ansem, I talked with Seter about what I answered here to give him more information about what was already discussed. I hope his answers clarified some GM decisions in more detail.
Addition about custom skills. I pointed out some great mods, but forgot to mention we have a
Skill Guide that should give you most information needed on the topic of creating custom skills.
@Noctro Thanks for the clarification! I did not think that far ahead and see now what you meant with changing surface colors. I really like that idea but I'm pretty confident providing such an on-the-fly color change option is out of reach for the current engine. I know it's not the same thing, but you do have the possibility to mod the visuals of surfaces as a whole by modding their Root Template.
And thanks to everyone else for chiming in on the topic. Makes me glad to hear you're able to enjoy the toolset and our interaction with you guys.
