[2.1] New Oil Refinery building too monochrome

Post by worph »

TL;DR
Give the new Oil refinery a little bit of color.
What
I love the model for the new Oil Refinery building.

But it needs a touch more color. And I dont mean slap a large bit of blue on it. It just looks very orangey/coppery, which is fine as a baseline. But once you have the alt-view enabled, it really becomes very mushy. The new assemblers and rocket silo are a good example for how to mix in some color contrast, I think.

The rocket silo is obviously a more extreme example. It's a more complex machine, bigger, later in the game, more impactful gameplay-wise.
But it has a nice mix of colors and works well with alt-mode enabled.

(*edit: the chem plant could be a more direct example for a good amount of contrast I am talking about, could even be less. Just the red valve handle is a cool touch; if nothing else.)
