I personally absolutely love the idea of redwood specifically I've never thought of that on only the dark wood. To add to the suggestion i think spiral stairs that are made of more than just the dverger stuff would be nice too like regular old wood spiral stairs no extra mats needed, just wood.

I'd prefer some sort of painting system if all you want is different colored woods.

Like some sort of a stain that can be crafted that will change the (already built) wood from the normal color to red, or white or darken it.

I feel like if the stain was added you could water proof regular wood with a clear version like polyurethane. Crafting could be a recipe like 1 tar and 2 resin/amber or something like that just to give those resources more usefulness.

There are so many things that should and could be easily added to tide people over while they wait for actual content, like alternate skins for existing building materials, alternate models for existing weapons, alternate skins for existing armors or dyes for existing armors...you got a little taste of that with the silver shield and black metal shield which had alternate patterns and colors.

This would absolutely be a great addition, but I was thinking of a different styled wall like we have 4 different pole styles (yes I know their different uses, but all the same).

I adore this idea, cause then if you stain say a floor before you can put the roof on in say a village build (theoretically speaking of course, as I do not know how you build your structures) you could protect it from the rain should it come through while you apply the final touches as it's weathered for that. This could also add to the stability, as the weathered against weather wood would now last longer during say a severe thunderstorm as the water is unable to penetrate the wood particles.

Yes, there are a ton of things they can and possibly will add in the future, I was just noticing we have had a ton of stones, metals, and glass added to the game; the most we have gotten for wooden pieces would be the ones we have for the base walls, the newer poles, the cute little shutters, and the new wooden gate that was added into the game; so perhaps we could look forward to some new wooden walls for those of us who love the look of wood?

WTB evergreen wood, meet me at north edge of Deep North. :)

This is an awesome idea and one that I fully support. At one time I had 3 chests of Ancient Bark, it would be great to see that reagent woven into Vlaheim's construction materials in a broader capacity. Items like say, Finewood Panelling to be applicable to the fugly side of wooden walls. I hope that even though this thread was not initially installed into the "Suggestions & Ideas" category of forums it will reach wide support from the community and eventually be introduced into the game.

I wasn't sure if it would be a widely accepted suggestion, don't want to clock up the machine with an additional forum post that gets lost in the disaster that can be the suggestions threads lol
