Let us recolor lights from cars

[danny420]

We have so many Coaster cars with lights and we cant recolor them. creating a dark ride with complete dark parts is impossible because for example multiverse coaster cars have a light in the front that we cant turn off or recolor. would be great to let us recolor those to our likings and i think this would improve creativity a lot

Hmm, maybe they could add the lights of all rides as one of the recolorable ride parts. The system is there. They "just" need to link the lights, too...
Maybe it even would be possible to switch off the integrated lights by selecting black as color (if you don’t want them to shine).

yes that was my thought. if they let us at least recolor them we can not only turn them off by selecting the black color but we could also use other colors if we wanted. or remove lights from trains and give us them as objects

The best solution would be that none of the trains have pre-added lights, so we have the ability to attach our own lights if necessary. We need plain versions of everything, and the ability to switch between some train options (plain and pre-themed perhaps) for each ride/coaster

Then we need a lot of simple lights, too.

This, it is a really mixed bag on this. One way barebone design is nice, but i also want frontier to make at least some effort. The last DLC is a good example for the excuse: we made it barebone so you can design everything. An excuse i don't like. If future rides come with two options: barebone trains and pre-designed i am fine with it. But just barebone so they don't need to put in the work like they did with the xtreme spinner and the flatrides doesn't sit right with me.

I agree the best practice would be for them to always release a pre-themed one, and a bare bones one, for every ride. But if that's not possible I'd always go with bare bones, since a selling points of the game is the 'decorate a ride' system and it makes that unusable.
