    And the second question was, will there be more customizable swatches?

    And this is also a question of computation because whenever you have swatches, like whenever the 18 that you provided,

    are 18 swatches that clients, if you play multiplayer, will also have to load in and buffer in their system at all times.

    And if we create a system for infinite swatches, then eventually clients will have to keep up with loading all these swatches, whether you are using them or not currently, loading them all to be ready at all points.

    And swatches are something that is also very, or are also very computation heavy.

    So to limit that right now, we have given you the option to go with the 18 presets and also make your own customizable swatch if you want to.

    And the plan right now is not to expand the limit of swatches, either make them unlimited or bump them up to 24 or 36.

    Because again, we are saving on computation.

    The bandaid here is that if you really want to have endless possibilities with colors, you could technically make a custom swatch for a building, save that, I guess, on a notepad, and then reuse that from the data you saved, hex code, whatever.

    So that's the workaround there, but that's the reason we are not adding more swatches.
