More Colors

Can an option to add more color slots to the custom paint section be implemented? It would make fuselage art much better.

    @Chancey21 If you open the xml file of your craft, at the end there will be a list with all the current colours. In overload they are represented by the "material" property. each colour corresponds to a number, starting from 0, so you can extend the list with more colours, take their material numbers, and change a part's material number to whichever you want. Only disadvantage is that you can only do it manually part by part, so I suggest you leave this for details or for things you haven't built yet (so that you can clone the initial part)

    You can add more via the xml file, like I did for the gradient of one of my fuselage arts.

    How do you add them? Can it be done through Overload?

    100% agree. I run out of colours all the time. An extra 5 or 10 slots would be a Dream!
    We shouldn’t have to add them through XML... :/

    They should include this in the next update.

    Sorry for not being clear. I meant adding more slots for colors, so that you can have more individual colors on a build.

    Something like a color wheel? Is that the one so you can make the colors more precisely? Maybe with RGB slider...

    I think we currently have enough colors. The amount of different colors you can make literally add up to the millions...
