I notice there are now a couple of decals whose names start with "xx". Do those show up in the program, despite having non-numerical characters? If so, do any other characters work?

Alternately, it's the 2,002th planet of any kind discovered, which was subsequently determined to be a icy and labeled accordingly ("Ice [Planet 2002]" vs "[Ice Planet] 2002"). Syntactic ambiguity is fun. The one thing we know it isn't is a planet made out of Ice-2002 (which is like Ice-9, only much more so. Probably), as that would be "Ice 2002 Planet" (whereas "2002 Planet Ice" is I guess maybe a brand of vodka or something).

Ooh, so that might imply that there's also, like, a Desert Planet team and a Swamp Planet team, etc. that never actually appeared in the sets or tie-in stories.

I'd wager that Ice Planet isn't its own faction but a specialized team belonging to the Space faction. Everything about them (their clothing, the sort of equipment they carry) is geared towards the specific needs of living on just the planet Krysto and nowhere else, but also seems to indicate that it's a place they're exploring, not their home. Maybe some sort of long term scientific expedition with permanent or semi-permanent bases, but not full scale colonization. Plus, their logo is clearly a variant of the Space logo, which is sort of like how NASA mission patches often incorporate the pre-existing iconography of NASA and of the United States into a design that's otherwise unique to the mission (and usually adds some additional symbolism pertaining to what the mission is about, like the icicles and the icy color scheme). They do something similar in the military, though I'm a bit unclear on just what sorts of units get their own insignias (besides, they don't really seem to be military anyway).

Great use of cover to really sell the posing. And I love the thingamabob.

Now, if there were a superhero called Hibiscus Man... or possibly Lily Man? I don't know flowers, I'm just pareidoliizing. Which is the thing that is shaped like how the thing that that thing is shaped like is shaped?

Disemhulled, perhaps? Disemchassied?

I'll admit, I'm intimidated

Thanks. I figured it was something like that, but I was having a devil of a time trying to eyeball it.

Could we get a UV map for 87079 (Tile 2x4) in the next update? I thought a big flat rectangle would be simple to decorate, but for some reason it's throwing me for a loop. I've got two decorations, both exactly 1024x1024 px, but for some reason as far as I can tell they seem to apply themselves differently.

It's been fixed. It's just that you have to manually replace every bugged torso in every one of your builds with a new, non-bugged one from the parts list in order to see the difference. Or that's been my experience, anyway.

Darn

Did you ever find a solution for that? I've been having the same trouble for ages.

I've redone my classic Pirates and Space decorations in the new format, which you can find here. I didn't redo the 2x2 tile (which hasn't had its format changed), the flag (which I'm pretty sure hasn't had its format changed) or the pirate captain hat (which I'm unsure about), so I didn't include them in the zip file, but let me know if I should redo those too, or if you'd just like me to reshare them.

Speaking of, I've been (possibly inconsistently) having the same or similar issue with the hands on just the bog standard minifig torsos (76382). Took me a while to notice because I was just re-doing decals, not building, but it's there. This only seems to happen with the regular torsos, NOT the torsos with the dual-molded arms, long arms, various hooks or gloves or other alternate hands, or even the Garmagon-style torso extensions, even though those have the same arms and the same hands.
