Please please PLEASE make Floor Tiles visible from below!

Devs, I dunno if you read this board anymore, but if you do nothing else for base building, PLEASE make the Floor Tiles double sided.

It requires no new art or modeling, just assigning an existing texture. It's not even going to impact game performance - the bottom "side" is already there, it just doesn't have a texture.

This one single change will cut the item count of new base construction to literally a third, or potentially a LOT less, as we won't have to use 32 desks or other items to make elevated floors.

This in turn will greatly reduce the problems with the item databases locking bases up because of too many items.

Please pretty please work this into i16?

We only really have one floor tile to use to begin with, and that tile is ugly, hell the E-Z flooring is ugly too and the 1000 SG tile costs more than the desks do. Besides, the desks just look better.

Yeah, but it's an easy fix and I can deal with ugly if it means not having to deal with the 12000 item limit.

Switching the texture to one of the wood ones or a generic grey would be even better, though.

Well if you say it's easy enough to add the texture, then why don't you? I know for a fact that you can add textures to the game, so why not give that whirl.

Yes, but that would only make it appear on MY computer. Wouldn't help anyone else. I know how to do it, one of my jobs in the past involved 3D modeling and texturing with 3DS Max and Maya.

Plus, y'know, doing so is a TOS violation.

What I suggested can only help everyone involved, including Paragon Studios.
