Customizer

Customizer
This Build Gun software upgrade adds a new tab to the Build Menu: The Customizer. From here Pioneers have access to the Color section, as well as Material and Pattern options, purchased in the AWESOME Shop.
Unlocked by	Tier 2 - Resource Sink Bonus Program

The Customizer is an expansion to the Build Gun which adds an additional tab in the Build Menu.

The reason the Customizer was added was to expand the way the pioneer handled customization of buildable's like Foundations, Walls, Buildings, Machines, etc.

Unlocking

You unlock the Customizer in Tier 2, Milestone 4.

Initially you will only be able to paint buildable's, but can later unlock the use of Materials and Patterns by purchasing them in the AWESOME Shop which has some progression prerequisites.

Accessing

The Customizer, accessed using the default key X, is used for customizing the color, material (or texture), and patterns of buildings and vehicles. The Customizer can also be accessed by clicking the 'Customizer' tab in the build menu.

Colors

Colors are divided into 20 swatches consisting of a Primary Color and a Secondary Color which appear in one of 3 different groups (Default, Custom, and Regular).

19 of the color swatches appearing in both the Default and Regular groups are instanced, and 1 color swatch being the Custom group is persistent.

To use a color swatch, simply click on it. After selecting a color swatch, the player will be prompted to paint the target objects.

• 

  Customizer Default Colors

Default

Colors in this group will affect new buildable's. Other than Foundations, Concrete Structures, and Pipelines which have their own default swatches, the FICSIT Factory swatch is used for buildings, machines, support poles, etc. and vehicles.

When using any of the Default color swatches, if you later change any of these swatches using the Color Manager (see below) then every instance where a particular color is used will also change.

Name	Icon	Primary			Secondary			Default Active Swatches

Custom

Unlike other color swatches, the custom swatch is "consequence-free". When using the single Custom color swatch, if you later change the swatch using the Color Manager (see below) any buildable's previously painted using this color swatch will persist (not change).

Name	Icon	Primary			Secondary			Default Active Swatches

Color Manager

Individual Color Swatches can be edited by highlighting the swatch and click 'Edit' at the bottom of it which brings up the Color Manager UI.

Color presets can be saved for use later by using Load Preset by clicking the 'save' icon near the bottom right, and entering a custom preset name. To restore a particular color swatch, click 'Load Preset' at the bottom middle.

Colors can be set by adjusting the individual sliders, or by manually entering a desired hex-code in the lower left, or by editing the HSV individual values on the right to make a custom-defined HSV color space, which is different from the common HSV color space.

• Hue can be any degree value from 0° to 359°.
• Saturation can be any percentage value from 0% (Pure Grey) to 100% (Pure Color defined by Hue).
• Value (or Brightness) can be any percentage value from 0% (Black) to 100% (Full Brightness).

Notes:

Default assignment

Default active swatches can be overridden by right-clicking on a color swatch you can assign that color swatch as default color for various buildable's. See also current issues below.

This will not retroactively apply the selected swatch to the objects of the selected type, but will set it as the default for newly created objects of that type.

For example if Swatch 1 is right-clicked and 'Ficsit Foundation' is ticked, any foundations built from that point will have Swatch 1 applied.

• 

  Customizer Color Default Assignment

Hotbar assignment

Color Swatches can be bound to a hotbar by highlighting Color Swatch and pressing a number (0 - 9) for the hotbar location where you want to place the Color Swatch.

Materials

Certain architecture buildings can be retextured by changing their material. Attempting to apply a material that is already in use, or onto an incompatible building, will display an 'Invalid customization target' error.

Materials come in various types, which appear in one of 3 different groups (Foundation, Wall, and Roof).

• 

  Customizer Materials

Usage

You can filter the Build Menu to a specific Material by selecting the appropriate filter. You can change Material prior to placement of Foundation, Wall, or Roof, by holding E to bring up Quick Switch radial menu, and then use RMB to select the Material type you wish to use.

Applying a Material when your Inventory is full will result in the appearance of inventory overflow crates holding the items not used in the recipe for the new Material used. Example, changing FICSIT Foundations which use 5x  Concrete and 2x  Iron Plate with Coated Concrete Foundation Material which use 5x  Concrete and 2x  Plastic will result in one or more inventory overflow crates containing the unused 2x  Iron Plate.

Hotbar assignment

Materials can be bound to a hotbar by highlighting buildable using the desired Material and pressing a number (0 - 9) for the hotbar location where you want to place the Material.

You can also assign Material type to Hotbar by right-clicking on Material in the Customizer and selecting Apply Material to Hotbar Buildings.

An even faster method to assign Material type to Hotbar consists of, while viewing Hotbar, pressing left Alt key and a number (0 - 9) for the Hotbar location which is currently using a desired Material type. This will switch ALL applicable other buildable's to same Material type on that Hotbar.

• 

  Example of the Customizer Materials Hotbar Assignment (Primary)

• 

  Example of the Customizer Materials Hotbar Assignment (Alternate). Number 8 was pressed which changed Hotbar buildable's in 1 thru 7.

Patterns

Patterns can be applied to Foundations and Roofs and require the use of one Color Cartridge for each Pattern place.

Usage

Application

Each single Foundation can only have 1 Pattern applied to its center. Patterns can be rotated with mouse wheel prior applying.

Applying a different Pattern will replace the existing pattern, including the same Pattern with different rotation. Applying a same pattern with same rotation will display the 'Customization already applied' error since nothing is changed.

• 

  Example use of Customizer Patterns

Removal

To remove a Pattern, choose 'Pattern Removal'. When a Pattern is removed the Pioneer does not get back any Color Cartridges.

• 

  Pattern Removal (Common for all Pattern Groups)

Color

The color of the applied Pattern follows the Secondary Color of the Foundation's Color Swatch that was used when Foundation was initially constructed or last updated.

Reflectivity

Like paint, Patterns placed on Foundations are glossy and will reflect items, buildings / machines, walls, landscape, etc., around them.

The use of a black secondary Foundation swatch color is best to see any reflection, and the use of other colors will still have a reflection but it will be harder to see the lighter the color. White can be considered as the "least reflective" of all Pattern colors.

Valid targets

All Foundations, Invert Foundations, Ramps, Double Ramps, Corner Ramps, Inverted Corner Ramps, Quarter Pipes and Inverted Quarter Pipes, and Roofs can be patterned, and not others. However, among the valid targets, patterns applied to glass and frame Foundations, Roofs, Quarter Pipes and Inverted Quarter Pipes will not be visible.

Applying a new material to a patterned Foundation also rotates the pattern by rotating the material before applying it.

Groups

Customizer patterns are shown in one of 6 different groups.

Trivia

• The introduction of the Customizer in Update 5 also introduced the characters, played by Coffee Stain Studios Community Managers, of Snutty Mays (Snutt Treptow) and Juice Velvet (Jace Varlet) which are referenced elsewhere in this Wiki.
• Snutt made a theme song for the Customizer.
• u/Vencam made a huge list of colours found in the game for use with the Customizer. Find it here on r/SatisfactoryGame.
