When building the Blueprint, the blocks will be colored accordingly when placed. For Blueprints made after February 19th 2020, you can set the colors for every block type used in the Blueprint individually.

Old Blueprints can only be painted as a whole. You can now select paint in your Blueprint customization. You can either "copy" the "unpainted" setting of a non-painted block/object/liquid by using the "copy" key (customizable in the keysettings options) or you can hold the "paint" key (default key left “Ctrl”) and tap the "Codex" key (customizable) in order to clear the Swatch. You can switch the secondary and primary color by holding the "paint" key (default key left “Ctrl”) and tapping the "Show Wiring" key (customizable keysetting). You can copy colors of already painting blocks, objects or liquids by holding left “Ctrl” and tapping the “copy” key (default key "c", customizable in the keysettings option) while pointing your cursor at any block/object/liquid.Ĭlick your right mouse button in order to undo the painting of a painted block/object/liquid (but you cannot remove the colors of blocks, objects or liquids that have not been painted with the painting feature). You can see the preview of the currently selected item in your quickbar in the Swatch Builder / Color Palette window (as long as it is a paintable item of course).

Moreover, as long as a swatch color-combination is selected, nearly any block, object or liquids will be automatically painted as you place them from your quickbar into the game world. While holding left “Ctrl” (or your customized “paint” key), point your cursor at an already placed block, object or liquid, then click your left mouse button to actually paint and by that apply the color-combination that you have selected in the Swatch Builder. If you simply click the “Add” button, the next empty paint quickslot will automatically be “filled” with your current swatch selection.Īfter closing the Swatch Builder and back in the game world, hold left “Ctrl” (customizable "paint" key in your keysettings options) to see your painting quickbar.

For this, press your left mouse while pointing at the main swatch selection color box and drag this selected color-combination to one of the smaller boxes below, next to the plus icon. You can add your swatches to the paint quickbar so that you can quickly switch between colors while playing. To make colors glow brighter, drag the dots inside the sliders upwards with your left mouse button. The thin sliders/bars to the left and right of the Swatch selection block will define the glow of your primary respectively your secondary paint. If you want to color only either the primary colorable parts of a block or object or only the secondary color, you can select the right bottom-most box “transparent” for the other color of your swatch to be on the safe side. In order to delete your swatch, either click the “Clear” button or directly click the main color selection box of the Swatch Builder with your right mouse key. You can see a preview of the chosen colorization for the currently selected item in your quickbar (if empty, the next item is shown). In the Swatch Builder / Color Palette window, you can designate a primary and secondary color and build customized swatches for painting.Ĭlick a color box with your left mouse button in order to select the primary color, and click a color box with your right mouse button for the secondary color. In order to paint blocks and objects, please press your “Color Palette” key (default key “.” which is customizable in the keysettings options) to open your Swatch Builder - the color palette window for Painting.

If you select a dark color, the light can be nearly invisible. Please note that colored light is usually dimmer than the standard white light and will illuminate less blocks all around. The primary color will usually paint the larger parts, like the fixture of lamps and also their light (cones) for example, while the secondary color will be applied to the smaller parts and decorations. Most blocks and placeable objects can now be painted and many of them will accept two colors.
