I remember reading about the Egyptian battery when I was doing my degree (ancient history)....if memory serves, it was a ceramic urn containing a type of acid, that, when copper rods were inserted, would create an electrochemical reaction, generating a significant amount of power (there's also archaeological evidence suggesting they were trying to create a light source that ran on said power source, looking like a long light bulb)

Oops, posted on the other mod from 2018 so I shall repost here. I love this mod, working on creating a necron/stargate tomb world public server but........need round pillars and more block types. Some blocks with door and window openings, perhaps a wall section with wood studs sticking out and a ceiling with beams that line up so ancient villages can be build would be a great addition. I do hope you could add in round pillars at least and a three block sloped ramp for walls at some point to better create Egyptian structures. Thank you for the incredible work you've done so far and I hope there is more to come! Thanks

Those Sphinx statues are so rad! Would you consider adding a pair of lion headed variants? A male and female?

Also, column blocks would be awesome, like the columns at Karnak.

Amazing work, thanks for continuing the mod!

lol nawwww im stayin away from weapons for this one, there are plenty of them for the stargate mods

Maybe an "Anubis" lasser turret statue? :) :) :)

That would be pretty cool, more blocks is always appreciated, thanks again for breathing new life back into this mod for the community.

NP - hoping to have a block soon as a Urn type battery, a friend had volunteered to model one up but haven't heard from them in it in a while.

Thanks for the updates Skallabjorn.

Additional Update

NEW BLOCK - BASTET Programable Block
Note - its has no surface access point due to the old model and not having the original Blender files so you need to access its programing via the K menu

UPDATE -

- New textures from Sixdice
- added an offset flat door block
- updated window glass as it had gone completely transparent on a past Keen update

Updated - Component health and integrity increased on Dressed Stone and Concrete to increase finished block strength. they were way too weak in comparison to a light steel block.

Yeah, ill ask him in a min then, it's more seeing if i can get someone to help, not some noob or beginner, someone who knows what they are doing and has been making mods for a while in the community, someone who can be trusted with the files etc and someone who wouldn't need to bother him with updating the blocks etc, cheers for the reply anyway Skallabjorn, hope you have a good one mate.

You have to ask Sektan, but I know the answer. Its not anywhere near high priority as, again, in real life hes currently deep in coding his next full game release.

My Contribution was taking the original with his permission and making it use actual stone vs metal plates and grids.

Haha yeah it slows everything down doesn't it, i just finished 10 months of book balancing FML TAX man gonna bend me over this year, but i was meaning can i see if i can get someone to help update it with the newer blocks in game, not republish or anything just see if someone has a bit of time to help update and add a few more blocks, i guess ill have to ask Sektan also, but i want to start using it again, so seeing if i can help rally a few people together to get it updated.

Hey bud, real life first.

Hey bud, whats the plan for the future of this mod?.

:D

This goes in the StarGate pile!!!!!

Please add an offset door

This mod needs a 1x1 round column block.

This looks fantastic.

its on the list...

The only other suggestion would be to make the blocks into groups (like the regular armor blocks) for ease of building.

That would be tough as the model would need to be redone so that they could conveyor up ( thus requiring Sektan's original core files for the models ) however doing a new model ( as we are doing for a battery ) as a vent might be doable, thanks for the idea.

What if one of the Statues was an air vent, and the pressurization effect came from its mouth (and possibly eyes)

Ohhhhhh I like that :)

Yes, Bast should be a programmable block. Cats already control everything....

lol nope

Will the Sphinx shoot lasers out of its eyes as well? :P

The Mummy would make a better battery from a design standpoint as it looks most like it could contain a battery setup. The Bast might make a good timer or programable block.

Im thinking the Mummy or the Bast ( cat) block will become batteries....

Thank you, now I have to put a cat in all my builds lmao, but thanks for getting the permission to re-post this, I missed it the last time so didn't get to check it out.

Sweet! This will go well with nukeguards Marble Columns mod
