Easy folks. I don't think anyone objects to the idea of more cosmetic build items do they? Thats the gist as I understood it of the OPs thought?

Yes there needs to be practical reward for progression again I don't believe the OP or anyone disagrees here with that. But if building and decorating are your thing then why not pile on the added recipes that make vanilla items look a bit better even if it doesn't boost up their practical benefits?

For example : We could use plain wooden shingle roofs oh so very much please instead of having to wait till you get Tar for the Darkwood ones for example? They could cost the same as Thatch have the same durability but could include a little more detail while stopping short of the clean lines and bold colours (And greater durability!) of Darkwood which should stay as a late game item.

I hope by the time the game gets to release 1.0 there will be build mats for each tier same as their is Armour and weapons however they do it.
