Pictured above is the house building system I've been toying around with. It uses screen objects.
Basically there are 3 buttons- one to close the interface , one to switch the modes and one to switch the constructs.
You purchase land in this mode, and once you own it you can revert it to it's original form, alter it into a different visual, or build upon it.
Currently it features building walls and floors. I plan to expand upon it by allowing players to place crops, perhaps some furniture items and add a few less ugly options for housing walls and floors. * My house is pretty ugly imo*
And that's one possibility, but I was thinking "why not just have one single bar and have it change colors and refill?"
