wish it had a bit better texture and was dx11 subbed ne ways praying for a update

back in Space enginers. This was awsome back then. any updates ? somewhere ?

Maybe someone can update this great mod to DX 11 again? cause mod from the link below deleted.

DX 11 is here:

DX 11 anyone?

Interesting. Mg based cement is stronger than normal concrete and takes a lot less: http://www.greenhomebuilding.com/articles/ceramicrete.htm

Excelent work , keep it up

Any idea on if you'll have this updated to Dx11 anytime soon?

Dupe bug: placing a block with 1 girder in inventory gives you frame with 2 girders installed. If mined back - gives 2 girder.

Great mod! I'd like to thank you for all the work you've put into it as well as offer some constructive criticism, if I may. Your column would look much better, in my opinion, if you removed the spikey bits on the exterior. I'm not quite sure what you were going for with that design, but it just looks out of place to me.

Magnesium in the cement? Really?

Yes, I'm working on it. The textures are too big.

Hey! Was going to use this mod on my server, however the filesize is huge for a space engineers mod, any way that filesize can get heavily reduced?

Would it be possible for you to reduce the bevel on the models? So that big areas look smoother.

is it possible to make this mod smaller?
The other Mods I use are about 1-2 MB, yours 50 MB.
Thanks for all the time you invested in this mod.

Welcome. I hope you can make this into a great concrete mod.

BTW, the cement material is 39kg, but the materials to create it only total up to 25.17kg. Sand is similar. Maybe more gravel is needed per material.

Working on it.
Thanks for feedbacks!
:)

Tested a little in creative. Dunno where you want the blocks to be in terms of durability, but I think the durability of the blocks vs missiles could be a little higher. One missile can shatter up to 4 blocks at once. Takes 2 missiles to destroy just one HA block.

Im loving how this looks.

Could you give more details about the durability of the concrete blocks relative to light/heavy armor blocks?

Great thanks !!!

Weight increased!

Could you increase the wage? in the real world (1m3 of Concret = 2.300 kg)- So one block weighs 5750kg

Yes, it's what I would do

By ceramic tiles, do you mean something like a landing deck plating that's resistant (or hopefully immune) to thruster damage?

New block!

Look like my server crash when I add sand and cement bags to the assembler : /

Yep, retested now.
100% working :)

has this been updated to be stable with this weeks aseembler code changes??

Added building stage

@Elwin Lux, thx a lot. :)

*unfortunately latest update broke the mod. the components are not buildable in the assembler* FIXED

Modified use of components: blocks are more resistance and heavier.

blueprint missing also the assembler is kinda borked because you can no longer dissassemble

Yup, confirmed.
Cant build Sand and Cement after thursday update.
@Elwin Lux please, fix it. :)

Well thought out and balance mod for my stations landing pads and interior walkways for asteroid hollow base ty.

Subscribed this week, saw a single concrete block using a steel plate to build. Felt that as a bit cheating so didn't use it. Then the next day I saw multiple block shapes and figured I'd have a peek at them again: now using girders, construction components and two custom items named sand and cement. I quite liked that! Keep it up, Elwin Lux! :)

unfortunately latest update broke the mod. the components are not buildable in the assembler. or at least its not working for me

It should be reinforced concrete (use metal grid in construction, to act as rebar) and it should be heavier than heavy armor, while being nearly bullet proof. to disuade people from making concrete ships, and possibly persuade people to make concrete stations. after all, in reality we'd use the most abundant resource to build space bases. also, it'd make people really consider if they'll just convert their station into a ship down the road or not. also, is it possible to make it break down easier with a drill than grinder? and could the build states go frame slightly larger than block (to make it look like its welded to surrounding blocks) rebar, half-cast, then block? all the suggestions i can think of while half awake XD

New update.
Need to test more the large ship truster resistance and the resistance to the weapons.
I tried to balance in a realistic way the use of components for the construction but any suggestion is welcome :)

how much thrust resistance does it have?

Please tell me it takes a LOT of gravel to make? we need a use beyond generators for gravel

yeah concrete! just need to use that gravel component for sure! :D

yeah, why not call it ceramic? make it immune to thruster damage in general? maybe make it super fragile though? (ceramic, after all haha)

e need something to do with all this gravel anyway haha

if you made this thrust resistant it would be my go to block for landing pads

if this was ceramic and prevented thruster damage and used stone and iron for components this would be beast. i really like the plain texture myself, the cracks are huge ill guve it a go when its survival ready.

Looks pretty good! Might give it a spin. Subscribed.

Could it potentially get some (keyword) thruster resistance from larger ship thrusters? At the cost of being fragile like light armor?

Please make this so that it can be built with gravel! I'd totally endorse the mod if you did.

You should make it be able to be built with useless gravel.

I also suggest and request, as those who have posted before:

thruster damage proof -or- high resistance to small and large engines
modified collision with asteroids so we can have a flat surface for once (if possible)

No, I was just making myself laugh; I've got the giggles today.

Anyway, I love this block, thank you! Are you thinking about dropping a cubic frame then just having the cement level rise in it as if it were being poured? Or requiring the use of special equipment to pour it? Or are you just figuring that out as you go along?
