Description

The Paint Tool allows you to paint blocks, cables, labels and components with custom colors and surface finishes.

Usage

Controls

Color Palettes

The Paint Tool uses a palette system to save and organize your colors.

Palette Management

• Create: Create a new empty palette
• Copy: Duplicate the current palette with a new name
• Delete: Remove the current palette

Adding Colors

Click the + button in the palette to add a new color slot.

Color Picker

The bottom section of the interface contains:

1. RGB Color Picker: Select any color using the hue bar and saturation/value square
2. Gamma Preview: Shows how the color will appear in-game with your gamma settings

Surface Materials

Each color can have a different surface finish:

Replace Color

Hold X and Left-click on any painted surface to replace that color across the entire build. This works on:

• Blocks: Replaces all blocks sharing the same color index
• Pipes/Cables: Replaces all pipes matching the same color
• Components: Replaces all components of the same type and material

Symmetry Painting

When the build has symmetry mode enabled, the Paint Tool automatically paints the mirrored block as well. This applies to:

• Single face painting
• Whole block painting (Shift)

If the block is on the symmetry plane, the mirrored face on the same block is painted instead.

Note: Replace color (X) always affects the entire build regardless of symmetry, so symmetry is not applied in that mode.

Notes

• Painting a block applies color per face (use Shift for all faces)
• Cables have additional customization options, see Spool
