Hiya, I love the mod - makes building nice things in Terraria actually viable without ripping your hair out.
I thought I'd leave some ideas and feedback below on a couple of the features below
The painting tool is great - love being able to template stuff between worlds.
Though there are few features I would love to see
- Option for when pasting in templates to ignore air blocks. i.e air won't delete a solid block if they overlap.
- An option to overlay a design onto the world. So just local ghost blocks, so players could use these for a building guide for structures or such
- Extension on the previous point - shape ghost templates you can drag to size. i.e circle template you can drag to the size you want, which then overlays the ghost blocks.
However, when trying to find neat stuff using the browser, I noticed its super limited, just a list of most to least popular.
I have a few problems with this.
- This makes it so its neigh impossible to find new content.
- Although uploads have names, its completely irrelevant as you can't actually search by name
So my suggestions to improve this would be:
- Favouriting posts directly. I understand you can already import them into your own collection, but doing so is a little annoying currently. A 1 click button would be a nice QOL instead of having to click delete selection 29 times.
- Blocking posts so they don't appear in the browser for you anymore, and create an option to view blocked templates. Some posts are just duplicates, or old versions of now updated designs, which just clog it up. And some you might just not like at all!
- Expanded search options, like latest, most popular, most popular this week / month / year, search by template name
- List author - it seems author IDs are already recorded seeing as users can be blacklisted for uploading bad designs. If so being able to search by author would be nice, as well as view an authors works. This would also be very useful for being able to share your own templates with friends easily, as well as just getting accesss to your own designs on a different computer too.
- Allow searching backwards. Currently you can only go forwards 30, or go back to the start!
I understand that some of these requests are a little ambitious, either coding wise, or just data hoarding wise
Hopefully this didn't come off as too demanding, or as entitled mod user energy.
Finally - a massive thank you!!
I've got plenty of your mods installed, and they massively improve the QoL
Have a nice day
