Let the god paint the different weyworld biomes (farming and mining and blessed areas) charge belief. Slows us down makes us consider placement. Gives us colours to get arty when we get over abundance of belief(which does eventually happen!) give more flexibility compared to horribly limited weyworld current locations.

Edit: Make them only work for 1 or 2 layers and therefor able to be removed by sculpting

From the middle of another thread:-

Maybe gods should be able to paint top level and edges like beautify and have miners (or builders even) remove the painted area. Also painting areas places random gems under them at a belief cost?

Haha, "dampen dirt" power, makes the ground easier to dig through and when followers act upon it generates small amounts of belief per dig.

So like a quarrying brush ability.

Let's us have sculpting brushes of varying size and shapes.

As has been said by others, paint stairs ability.

Anyone think of other uses for the brush mechanic?
