Beton (Concrete armor)

Description
This is updated version of derCoda's Beton mod.
UPD. Since derCoda updated original mod to DX11, my version will be here (with his permission) because of components rebalance.

What's new:
- Oxygen compatibility
- DX11 compatibility (DX9 compatible too)
- Full cost and integrity rebalance
- English names for blocks (there were German names in original mod)

This mod includes 10 blocks: 7 concrete blocks, 2 armor plates and one girder block.

Attention! If you have problems with some slits on blocks, set "Model quality" option in graphic settings to "high".
For now I can do nothing with that on my side, because mod sources are lost and my 3d-modeling skill is poor.

Features:
- All blocks in this mod can't be deformed.
- Concrete blocks have a bit less integrity than heavy armor blocks, but much more cheaper and heavier two times.
- Grinding time for concrete blocks is more than welding time to protect your bases from griefers with grinders in multiplayer.
- Two components - Cement and Granulated Sand, created mostly of gravel. For balancing reasons, Cement will be destroyed if you'll grind concrete blocks.
- Mod includes changed stone-to-gravel refining blueprint to make you mine 10% less gravel and refine it 2 times faster.

The model of cube is bugged. It is empty on edges.

When adding this mod, my refinerys only produce gravel, and nothing else.

i am wondering what the density of this concrete mod is... and serious (i am bricklayer...) to make concrete you need water, no way around... means at least: use ice... the mix for concrete will be: : 1000 stone, 1000 gravel, 500 cement, 500 ice and this will give a result of 2500 concrete. 1 block is 1000 liter, means 2500 kg....

and i agree that all of the concrete have to be build in the Survivalkit already. Cement is just gravel heated up to 1500 degress celcius about. If a Survivalkit can smelt stone to gravel and ingots, it can heat up the gravel to. I was modifing AWGs concrete shapes mod to more realistic concrete. so am i not sure what shall think about this mod here, how realistic it is at the end... i build my stuff in concrete just with the survivalkit....

@Sicario I edited the mod just for that reason - use this one if you want to process ore in the refinery and just want the recipes for the blocks added https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2222872048

nice mod but only getting gravel from stone. I already have more gravel than I can use in a life time. and didn't notice for a while it was only producing more and more gravel, I'm going with the other concrete mode where it doesn't only make gravel. but regardless thanks for the work put in.

Concrete is cool and everything but i cant make anything other gravel. and when I try to uninstall the mod, my world save is completely fucked meaning that I cant play on the world anymore.

Hello Gornyakmaniac.
Really, your mod is nice but (eh... yes) like some others here, there is some things I don't understand...
#1 The reason why refinery only transform stone into gravel and no more iron, silicon and nickel (all this big machine for only make gravel ?)
#2 all the process to making a concrete block. Because of that, the mod is totally inaccessible early in the game, that's mean that we must build a base with all the equipment to be able to make concrete block..... uhhh.... our base is just finished to build.

So, can you please make again the refinery do its job and make your mod usable in survival mode. Pleeaaaaaase :)

Unfortunately the concrete item can't go through small conveyors though.
