Yes I know there are mods that do this but I shouldn't have to rely on mods. What I mean is that when you mine dirt you get that colour.
There is no need for that, you can paint(using the paint tool) dirt the color you want and these will correspond with the different colors of dirt found on planets.
Yeah. The existence of colored dirt was fairly redundant from a building perspective due to the paint tool, and its removal solved the issue of having several random stacks of dirt clogging up your inventory since the different colors couldn't stack.
In the same vein, but compatible with the new design, I would love to see more options/colors for the painting tool
