As of Patch 0.214.300, the color code will remain visible and editable in the sign input field (and text will not instantly turn to that color). So you don't have to break signs anymore to reset the color. Also, you can use emoji's in signs!

It's good to see the codes visible! But the signs won't glow any more, which needs more lights to light'em up... The more lights we add, the laggier the place becomes. Hope people care about this to say more in the official discord suggestions channel. 〒▽〒

@@elisabethdracul8397 In my experience it's the physics calculations on each building block that makes up for the most lag, though having to add an item (lights) wouldn't help against lag, you're right. Some signs would glow too much, especially in day time but others are barely visible after the update (like red). They should adjust glow levels on a per color basis. Good shout!
