So after the slab update and suggesting this in one thread, I came up with some ideas about block placement.
1. You can only craft uncolored hull blocks
Hold on, hold on, before picking up your pitchforks saying that this will remove the liveliness of the game, hear me out. I'm thinking that instead of crafting the colored blocks before hand, you only paint the blocks when placing them.
Say, you have 1 hull block. You realize that you need it to be color blue. Instead of walking your lazy ass to the factory and making a blue hull block, just bring up a menu, choose the color you want for the blocks you will place, and consume both the hull block and the blue paint. What if you want to remove it? You pick up blue hull instead of the uncolored hull and blue paint. Realized that you're a filthy peasant and you hate blue? That's the only time you'll need to go to a factory and craft the blue hull with a new item: paint thinner.
2. Slabs only taking up a fraction of a block.
Wouldn't it make much more sense for a slab to take a part of a block to place instead of an entire? Here's me idea:
Instead of taking 1 whole block, it'll only take a fraction. Say (here we go again) you have 3 whole hull blocks. Instead of being only able to place 3 half slabs, you can place up to 12 quarter slabs, 6 half slabs, or 4 3/4 slabs!
When you place a half slab (with you having 3 blocks), it'll display 2.5 instead of 2.
That's what I can think of, so far.
