Seriously, I am planning on adding the occasional barn, farmhouse,
silo, and blue aluminum storage shed.  This points to another problem,
though -- as with textures, buildings will look very different in
different parts of the world and even in different parts of the same
country, province, state, or county.

What we need is conditions in materials.xml; for example, within a
certain lat/lon rectangle, use a tumbled-down stone building for a
barn; within another, use a North-American wooden barn; and so on.  We
already have XML conditions, so it's doable, but it will be a bit of
work all the same.  Instead of allowing full conditions, we might
allow only a few criteria (maybe time of year, lat/lon, elevation,
slope).


All the best,


David
