Painting in this game is such a powerful tool, but I never have painted furniture, because it looks odd and not very fancy. Let's take a steampunk bed as an example:The top sprite shows the original bed without any changes. Left column of beds shows how I see it should look and work, painting only certain parts of the furniture. The right column shows how painting currently works and looks (more or less) in the game. What I mean is that furniture should have masks for painting so the paint is applied only to the masked area of that object.HOW IT WORKSLately I've been going through a lot of people's creations - all kinds of bases, houses, etc. and so far I haven't seen anyone painting furniture. Like I said, I don't do it my self. When I'm painting a bookshelf I don't need those books to be all blue as well.I'm not really good at explaining things, but I hope the illustration speaks for itself
