It has been an ongoing discussion about how cities and towns aren't meeting to personal standards and codes of both government and the mayors of the cities. Eyesores are always a problem and there is never a remedy, as construction companies are all but non-existent and every player is average in their building abilities. Queen Street, Ocean City, Troutman; all of these examples have had major dealing with such things with constant complaint from every side of the spectrum. But it appears no one has correlated this issue with players not having access to the right tools to meet these standards.
The constant cycle is thus; Cities having buildings that either don't match the theme or quite average for players that haven't attempted to improve their building skills, especially in survival ----> because of the limited resources they have to begin with, their imagination and creativity is stumped by realism----> The making of subpar creations that follow buildings of same quality that they are replacing----> people saying nothing is changed and repeating this cycle over again. But now with the last 4-6 months of activity there is a new addition to this cycle, which is the government finding a reason to step in and allow themselves the ability to create pre-made builds and paste them into parts of Capitol (not so clear on cities and towns because idrc), with no cost the the government.
Essentially, my argument is that even if players are allowed plugins like Schematica, what it'll do is level the playing field and not blow anything out of proportion. Our DoC already does such things for multiple other subsections of the government, and they do so through pasting. Meanwhile, if a player were to use something like Schematica, they would still need to create a custom build, take the time to upload the schematic here, and then manually build it by hand so long as they have the materials. This would be harder material-wise as well, because they wouldn't be able to pay extra money for whatever missing materials they have (which is a perk of pasting)
In conclusion, this is something that would help benefit and advance the server, retain player base from lack of eyesores and better builds, and ease both work and responsibility off our government so they can focus on more important things. Thank you for your consideration and time.
