    As this is a sci-fi setting, I'd love to be able to create things like Neon signs etc, by having Neon light blocks. I'm thinking Bladerunner style scfi construction here.
    I'd love to be able to craft neon blocks that would glow with a faint light.
    I think this would add a new level of customisation (i.e. having a strip of neon along the roof of a mining tunnel to light it up).

    I sure hope something like this is implemented or will be! It'd be perfect for the structure of an underground base of operations! Do you think that the neon lit blocks should follow the tier system, or just come in different colors?

    Edit: Also, maybe a blinking function if set up with power? I'm looking to recreate Las Vegas, heehee!

    I think different colours would be good to allow good user customisation :)
     
  4. I would create an underground hotel and create a neon sign reading "Welcome to the Cave Inn". :)

    As long as you make it really, really shady lookin'! And some horrible irregular flickering lights within the rooms!

    My question is: Would they require a power source? Or do they generate light by themselves?

    I'm thinking that if you want them to blink any certain way, they'd need power. You could set the blinking with a mini-sequencer, such as this:
    _ _ _ _ O _O O _ (O's for light, "_" for darkness). Or they could be boring and do a set blink... ;)

    We've already seen lighting with different colours, so this is probably easy enough for them to add, and i'd love to see it ^^. As for a sequence of blinking.. it depends on their 'wiring' system that we have yet to see, i guess. o.o

    No doubt I want this in the game, although I kinda assumed this would be in the game... Anyways if it's not then hell yeah I want it in the game :D

    Also, I'd like to choose the color of the text on the sign if you can choose the color of the sign itself, just think that would make it that much better. :)

    I think bio luminescent plants should be able to be collected and applied to any type block, essentially creating a completely separate looking block.

    You want to have bio-luminescent magma? :p
    That might be cool, actually

    Oh the imagination in the forums, makes me want the game even more! Luminescent blocks would be really cool! I like your style, brah.
