Stone, Wood and Gravel - Unlockable decorative textures/blocks with resource usage

This idea comes in part from playing the game Satisfactory and some in part to the various terrains and tree types from Verdure and thinking about the terrain of Kemik.

The idea is in three parts:

1. Have wood and stone be harvestable resources. Stone can be converted to gravel but can also be used as a texturing/construction resource. (resource gathering)
2. Use these resources to create textured layers on existing blocks or as part of decorative blocks. (resource consumption)
3. Textures can be unlocked by harvesting resources from different areas of Verdure, Kemik and other planets.

I don't think I would go so far as to add different types of stones and wood as individual resources. A general stone or wood item could be used as a general resource for texturing or decorative block creation.

But Space Engineers have to travel to different areas to mine the different types of resources to "program" their system to use different decorative patterns.

Gravel could also be used decoratively to create special textures like rock paths, gravel paths, rock gardens, etc. Like rock, gravel patterns could also be unlocked by region.

Wood

Wood can be harvested from anywhere and used to texture flooring, walls and ceilings. Amount used depends on area but have each small grid square consume 1 wood for example.

Different trees from different areas unlock different texture and color combinations.

• Mountains/arboreal - pine
• Plains - cedar
• Woods - oak
• Coastal - redwood
• Desert - acacia

and so forth. This would encourage people to travel around Verdure and collect the various textures. This could also be turned into an unlockable achievement.

Stone

A similar process could be performed for various kinds of stone or gravel, with one stone or gravel used per 1 small grid.

• Mountain - granite
• Plains - slate
• Desert - sandstone and sand
• Volcano - obsidian
• Plateaus or layered regions - marble, slate, etc.

This could also be turned into an unlockable achievement to encourage Space Engineers to travel to various terrains to collect the different textures.

Decorative Blocks

Various kinds of decorative blocks could be included in this list as well. I'm sure the community could come up with more ideas than this.

• Tree with planter (wood/sapling + soil + iron/copper/stone, vary tree and planter by type)
• Rock garden (gravel + wood/stone for box) or sand garden (sand + wood/stone for box)
• Wood and stone benches, chairs and tables (wood or stone)
• Log walls (wood)
• Stone walls (stone)
• Wood and stone roof tiles (wood, stone)

and so forth.
