I was pondering about while playing starmade the other day, and I thought to myself "hmm what is that substance that is in veins and arteries and is important for transporting oxygen in the human body? ah. blood that is it" and I have come to an idea that (most likely to be a graphical option) their could be blood spatter on blocks.
essentially just 'painting' the surface/surfaces of a block that is within a set distance to an entity when it 'dies' (an entity such as a spider, npc, or the player) to give the illusion of blood spatter.
These are some examples of what the 'blood' option might look like.
I personally think that if this where to be implemented, it would have to be a client based option because not everyone wants to see blood in a game like this.
And now for the reason I did not put this in suggestions.
I kinda want to see what some people could come up with keeping in mind this blood 'painting' idea. and then if people want to see blood in game (most unlikely) I will post it in suggestions. but for now this thread is just some fun to be had.
also it would be quite 'fun' for a bit of a backstory/story/lore to be made with your versions of blood spray.
So basically have fun making blood spatter in your ships/stations and write small stories from them.

"I had been a fool to let them near. I thought they would simply let us pass without any trouble. Oh how I was wrong. I sit here now in the blood of my crew and the blood of the raiders. Blood was shed on both sides, but I am the last standing. I must prepare the jump drive to get away from this sector. I now speak to anyone who gets this message. Keep away from the asteroids, their is a type of station there, it seams like a mining outpost. It is overrun by pirates. I must go, I fear that the shields have been breached again."
