This actually played out in my head lol.

TFP playing starfield and noticing something could be a bit better.

They jump on a starfield forum and make a post to devs explaining it.

As we have sometimes seen here, someone posts, "If you are so smart make your own game and show us how it is done!"

TFP posts.....

for what they said it seems they are just albedo variants. so.... using the same main vanilla model they add color/texture variants on it to have different looks.

Are these custom made models/variants like 2-3 for each zombie or randomized colored clothing pieces so we can have 30 of them and each have different colors?

I don't think it will be that deep but I think it's just colors and maybe a few zombies with different style/themes like the bowler 

The only thing they need is random walking styles and it would be perfect I would never get bored at them.  

Oh and special zombies but that's a story for another day

...random walk types is such an easy xml mod... it really should be in vanilla.

You know, I don't really care.  Make it clean, make it run like smooth silk, make it easily modable, then give it to us.... That's what they're working toward, and all this side junk... really?  pft...

Ah yes, why didn't we just turn ever game into gmod. 

You know this is kinda the devs dream game right? Yeah they are slow with updates and adding stuff but oh well.

I wish we could just send XML files and tell them

(hey I did it for you, add it for everyone)

but that's unrealistic

Small Letters (in the block menu) for signs would be great.

Would be really cool, but unfortunately all blocks (no matter the size or shape) still take up the entire space of a full block in a voxel-based world.

maybe they could do something with the text from "Writeable Storage Container" like allowing it to be printed onto an invisible block to place in front of whatever you might want to put words on.   Probably would not as elegant a solution as one would hope for.

Yes, a couple of Writable Store Signs of the same sizes as the Shamway Store Sign objects would be very cool.

 
I put up a post in the Pimp Dreams section where I asked them to add 1-2 more fonts to the letter block category, so that not every building has the exact same damn signage font. With how nicely upgraded the POIs are, this really really stands out.
