Please read my proposal first and you'll see there's another way, requiring no coding at all from Mevans.

As a matter of fact, his coding approach is fine for little structures to introduce some variation in them (number of floors / height, little differences in blocks used, etc.) but is counterproductive for big unique builds which will also need special terrain around them.

Furthermore, let's face it. If Mevans has to provide code for each major structure, the end of this won't be "this is planned" or "in a far future", but never! Mevans will move on to other interests (work, kids, ...) long before this is done!

From a coder's viewpoint (and with my 34 years of experience as a software developer, I think I can give some advice here), going through that solo coding approach would also be a terrible waste (a muda, in Lean jargon) of this community ability to fill this part of the job, while he could concentrate on other game development aspects.

So, for once, I hope he will "come to the Dark Side", which is really "quicker, easier and more seductive" in this case.
