Flexicolor foliage

[AndyZoos]

Looking at the new leaf litter item and its lack of flexicolor got me wondering...

As time's gone on, Frontier has been excellent about adding flexicolor properties to existing construction assets and building sets, but to date we only have three truly flexicolor bits of flora (classic flowerbed, orchids, and plumeria).

I know it might not be reasonable to expect it for all flora, but it would be great to get it for all of the flowers, some of the bushes where appropriate (ex: hydrangeas have a range of flower colors, bearberry a range of colors in general), and trees that change colors with the season (e.g., oak). And of course, the leaf litter as flexicolor would be clutch!

Sure, it might not be ultra realistic giving us the option to make the leaves of an oak tree purple or make hydrangeas jet black but... but it could open up the door to so much more creativity and make the pieces far more versatile (particularly in the case of the flowers and the leaf litter)!

Plus: I am quite disappointed about the foxgloves not being flexicolour. It would have been sooo cool: we could have had 4 different sizes/shapes plus flexicolour blossoms, which would have benn much better than the 2 shapes in 4 colours we have now.

I tend to agree with this. I'm perfectly fine with not having every tree be flexicolor, if all of them are then that probably becomes a little taxing. But I also can't really hide my frustration when it comes to the leaf litter and the conservation pack grasses I really wish those were flexicolor, because it would make them be that much more useful.

Something the game is definitely lacking is autumnal deciduous trees. This pack seemed the perfect opportunity to address that and it’s a shame they didn’t.

Yeah, I definitely don't think we need all of the flora to be flexicolor, but there's definitely room to expand it. Even something as small as allowing us to change the color of the berries on the crowberry bush could go a long way toward the versatility of that piece.

I'd settle for the flowers, those conservation pack grasses, and the leaf litter! The leaf litter is arguably the most egregious "miss" among the bunch, IMHO. Haha. A few trees would be nice too, but... That's much less noticeable, IMHO.

Definitely. Like I said above, I think the trees are a bit less critical compared to other foliage pieces but... Still noticeable. And would be a nice addition!

I honestly think that not making the leafs from the twilightpack flexicolor is a crime

Its not realistic to recolor a tree! only some flowers that occurs in many colours shades.

What's really weird about it is that most Trees only have a Summer/Spring Version while others only have a Autumn Version (for Example: River Bush Willow)

Exactly

I think we should get Roses, Tulips and similar Flowers so we have something to recolor. Way too heavy Focus on purple, pink and white. Don't know if this has changed a lot in the most recent Packs

We should have been able to recolour all flowers from the start (not just yet to come roses etc.) - even greater is the dissappointment of non flexicolour foxgloves!

It might seem unrealistic to recolour trees, but it is unrealistic also, that there are no autumn tree versions. It would be nice, if we could do them ourselves by simply recolouring them. (For sure there would be people colouring their trees blue and pink - but, hey: there are people having races with their animals on YouTube.-- )
So I think, it's up to every player themselves, what they consider realistic and/or fun to watch.
