Only blocks i miss are the ramp_blocks for doing seamless roads Up / Down.

Yeah the concrete is insanely expensive in terms of silicon

Thank you!

UPD:
- 100% density blocks are now without deformation.
- All density now has "Flat Slab", for "cheaper" construction. It costs aprox 10% from Cube.

i never said that steel armour is solid block, but concrete is.

do you realise it's lowers overall impact charateristics of concrete, for "cheaper" version there is 50% and 10% denstity all costs accordingly

Well the Light armour block isn't 2.5m^3 solid steel either, not even the heavy armour block. Gameplay purposes.
You're even using concrete slabs. You could for instance place them so that they form a "box". With reinforced concrete that's certainly possible, there are even concrete ships.

it's realistic, just in "Real life" nobody uses 2.5m^3 blocks. 1 block uses exactly same resources mass as 2.5m^3 "Real life" dry concrete

I was using the lightest version. I mean I think it's just the slabs that take too much resources. So either they need to be a little cheaper or the amount needs to lower for all of the types. Just didn't think it was realistic I used that much gravel for so few light concrete blocks.
It would be nice as an option for people who don't want to build everything out of steel.

maybe, just maybe, i think about adding conrete PLATE for less weight=resources

You can use "less density" variants of blocks, for structure that don't take much beating

200K gravel that we had from the start got me half a basketball field... That is kind of ridiculous in my personal opinion. But it's your mod, I found one that already halved it, next world I might actually use that. We get reduced Iron and such from stone in our modded server, so no we don't cheese with big ground drills. I would have liked it to be an alternative to all-metal basebuilding which just seems a bit... Unrealistic imho...

it's really not that much of resources if you have "full scale mining operation surface bore drill"

You need as much slabs as needed for final mass, i can decrease ammount of slabs but mass doesn't change, as much as needed resources for slabs production.

I really love this mod, but... I think the amount of concrete slabs you require for building even the light concrete blocks is totally off the scale. I'd at least quarter the amount for each.
Maybe make a cheaper alternate version?

You always can try, no one will judge you for that :)

so this not like old Concrete Blocks block then :( so no run way for me :(

it has very slight (with 100% dense) thruster damage, because with "no damage" it's "delete" thrusters if they don't have 1 block space... well it "delete" earlier, not sure how its now...

does this have no thrusters damage bc i looking for a concrete blocks i can use as a rin way

now bunker time

Thank you @Malignant , it is looks neat.

Mod updated

I fixed it, I had to add 3 files under Textures/Models/Cubes/Armor
light_armor_construction_add.DDS
light_armor_construction_cm.DDS
light_armor_construction_ng.DDS
I used RustyMetalScratched_*.DDS from the main file Textures/Models/Cubes folder and it looks amazing.

Well... i can't resolve this problem, might need help from someone who can retexture models... i know nobody, if you can - please, be my guest.

Purple frames still

Slabs has been rebalanced, now they cost 260 gravel and 60 silicon.

Well, some update has been made...

takes wayyy too long to make.

Thank You!

This works great as of today

Please do. I would like to see concrete in this game, so much posibilities.

well, looks like mod broken, not mass but textures, i have little inspiration to repair it, maybe in future...

@antokamire

it's seems a bit misunderstanding here, because this particular block needs 1250 concrete slabs, each slab 31.25 kg, block has dimensions 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5m wich gives us 15.625m, multiplying on theoretical mass of concrete 2500kg gives us around 39062.5kg

i find it remarkable that a concrete block weight (2,5 cubic meter and 2500 concrete slabs) is around 267000 kilo's, while IRL a concrete block of that size weight is 24414 kg if you multiply this by 10 to compensate for the volume you get 244140 kg. so where does this weight come from??? it's weight is 22859 Kg difference compared IRL. and i want to know how strong those blocks are compared to the light armour and heavy armour blocks.

I also have the clear texture bug, bug only ont the finished blocks.
The part made blocks are fine.

Blocks has texture, but at some point it turned to be weird one, i don't know what happening and less know how to make textures in SE.

Does anybody else have the issue of not having a texture for the blocks? On my client, I'm trying to use them for a landing pad/garrage floor at the entrance of an underground base, but I'm having the issue that the blobks are completely clear

Now you can make Concrete purely out of Stone, without mixing with Iron

I think something's wrong with the math...

1 concrete cube = 400,000.00 gravel + 1,250.00 Iron (that's like twice as much iron as a light armor cube)

Changed thumbnail. Resized slabs: Each slab weighs 31.25kg, and takes 1.25L

Hey, would you mind changing your thumbnail?

Each slab weighs 31.25kg, and takes 12.5L

But, i did not reduce the amount of slabs. They needed:

1250 - Full Block
950 - Corner Inv
630 - Slope
320 - Corner

hey thanks for reducing the amount of slabs needed. i think its about 50 now or something.
i only did see it in game a while back there.

and sorry if i came across as a dick.
that came mostly from trying to build about 4 of those blocks and having to fly back and forth about 20 times just to make a single block.

I found this mod impractical on a planet. Because the concrete slabs are so heavy and take up so much space, welding much by hand is only possible one or two at a time.

I tried using a welding ship instead but it couldn't cope with doing much more than a dozen blocks at a time as the weight was too much for it to fly.

The main draw for me was being able to build a big base more easily by just drilling stone for the materials, but with the assembler and two stone extractors running all day and the impracticality of welding them in place it was actually more trouble than just mining enough iron for light armor plates.

sorry, i'l fix that.

hue rightttt so
for a concreate rounded corner it costs 80 concreate slabs and 5 girder
but for the solid block it costs 1,250

Realistic scale and weights i guess

You can't put 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 meters in 400L, duh.

it's says: "Realistic scale and weights."

the solid block of concreate uses soooo much stone bricks... :/

1200 stone bricks or something and the player can only carry 300 with the assmbler making about 600 at a time...

wheres the corner bits only use something like 60

Well, I don't know how you handle your modding, but you should know that the models in my mod are not mine! I asked the original authors for permission and gave them credit. You should at least do the same!
