An easier way to make a racial settlement? (Suggestion)

I know there's a lot of people that love collecting things and using them to build their own creations, but I think it'd be cool if there was a way to make a small "preset" model of a house based on what race you are.

We already have the ability to spawn certain NPCs, making me feel like I should be able to create my own settlement. But I feel like in order to make it a true settlement I need to either find one already generated and steal it, or tear it down to get the blocks to make my own somewhere else.

If it were possible to have like a "house kit" or "camp kit" that you created at a crafting table then laid down on a planet, that would be more my style of building. I'm just lazy I guess.

Would anyone else like something like this in the game?

 

You know, what I like about this idea is that we can more easily build cities with which to populate our npcs.

It would still have that "pre-made" feel, though, so those that want to build cities the hard way would still have the benefit of having a more handcrafted look.

 

This is a pretty nice idea, but I'd like to add some of my thoughts) It can be unlocked after you've got at least one racial house done and, for example, 2 colonists alrdy there and doing stuff, A bit of a curve to making a big colony. With unlocks, management and other perks for bigger cities! Also, I'd like to say, that adding Hylotl\Human settlements first would be a higher priority )

 

How about some editor in game to play around with building layouts.
After that layout is saved you can prop it down on planet somewhere, that menu also provides an indication of how much mats you need and you need to store the mats and deco in that menu to be able to build the stucture.

of course you get your racial buildings as a first template.

(And i just realised that i just quoted the OPs words in a different way.)

 

What I'd like is the ability for each race to craft their racial decorative stuff. For example as avian, let me craft those avian banners with some fabric or those avian bookshelfs with wood and books.
