If this could be updated... *Megazord intensifies* Also I am pretty sure vanilla takes into speed of the blocks when determining damage, as well as durability.

oh yea, just noticed the last update was in 2017.
still good for aesthetics and armour against ranged though

there have been many changes to durability and block interactions since 2017, I have not looked at this mod in a long time as this was made as a request. It is very likely that block to block damage based on block durability has changed making damage to each other not as effective as it once was.

was just playing around with this mod. ironically the blocks had a hard time with melee attacks as they almost always broke against light armour, compared to a railgun round doing next to nothing. (they also make big craters when the rotor swinging them breaks and throws the blade behind it lol)

not really with the way drills work and eat ore and only a few drop out

I had the idea of doing something like this as a very small-radius no-power drill, so you could make things like shovel excavators and bulldozers. Is that even possible?

I do think something like that could be possible with weapon core and making the blocks resistant to damage, hmm

I just got a sudden urge to make a samurai ship, I remember this being awesome block mod to do melee ships with. Btw, I'm wondering if it's possible to make a melee block system that would work something like this:

You place a "melee base" block on your ship. This block would act like a super fast piston or rotor to swing a sword on it.

The melee base block would on accept "melee blocks" that would look something like what is in this mod.

Any damage done to the melee blocks gets either repaired or negated by the "melee base" block if they are connected to that base block (and it consumes energy, of course).

The damage would either be repaired with components or just energy.

Yes this mod is working fine, all blocks are functional and they show in a group under the main block of the mod

does anybody know if this mod still works?

ok, well, nearly forgot about this mod, i'll have to see why it's not working

The mod is not working i loaded by it's self.

Also props to you for responding immediatly!

Just a little lag while using them... but nonetheless this is an amazing mod! Id only add an inverted corner or something like that...

I have not used it in a while, does it not work? It should still

I need this to be updated... its so statisfying to slice thru ships or deinstall small grids xD

Anime weapons be like:

Final Fantasy victory fanfare intensifies

dude this on a mech would be awesome

perfect for ships that are meant to ram enemies, or for when you just wanna build a giant sword

PLS UPDATE, this mod is very creative, and after seeing it I am filled with soo many cool ideas to try out in survival with friends haha

not saying mod is broken, but if it got more love then it would be a very fleshed out addon for any game

will definitely have some model improvements for some of the blocks (new stuff I've learned since this mod)

Thanks for answering, ill be here to wait for a new update... No need to rush, you've done a great job already!

i'll need to find the sources again

oh i see what you mean

Could you please make an inverted corner for the corner blocks, i was able to build some pretty awesome stuff with this mod! However, whenever i tried to build a wider sword i cant finish the tips off without making it flat... wich not only limits the stabbing abilities but also kills the looks of a superlaser encased by a double bladed giant sword by making it flat at the tip... So if you have the time please give this awesome mod another try! It deserves it and im sure im not the only one who misses such a block...

This mod is one of those things that I never knew I really wanted

Thanks. Yesterday I was trying to make a sword and ended up having to settle on using interior pillars: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1394366189

hadn't thought of that when this was made, good idea though

What about a handle like block, so you could imbed it into the ground like King Arthur or a giant's sword.

@Cunt We think alike. Well, either welders or Nanite Factory.

You cut put welders behind these on a ramming/swinging based ship and it would be unstoppable.

@737 Garrus Why do you even ask? Though I prefer impaling my enemies and then dropping there sword plocks (along with said enemy into the gravity well of a planet

Make these into weapons, im interested to see where this goes

WTF man? put giant swords on ships and add crazy amount of gyroscopes to swing 'em? O_o

So I did some comparisons and these blocks seem quite a bit unbalanced. Less than half the weight of heavy armor, but nearly 10x the integrity.

Also, how come the base block (arguably the one block of this mod that consist of the most mass) costs less and weighs less/has lower integrity than the rest?

yes, but also get destroyed too, but at little slower rate

So they make considerable damage to heavy armor on impact?

All blocks tend to work the same way with physics (smashing into each other) therefore, if these were to be near invulnerable, you would not be able to move them with a ship they would be so heavy. They are however 7-8 times more durable than heavy armor.

How strong those parts are exactly?
Will sword made of them break if i slap heavy armor ship with the sword?

Buahahaha i see... possibilities...

@frosty1098, I'll check out mirroring on small blocks thanks for the heads up, I thought I got all of the mirroring fixed.

@lincolnlou, Yes, all blocks are both large and small grid

does this have small blocks?

Great Mod but there is a problem with mirroring that causes blocks to float of into space because they dont properly connect on small ships

i don't know how you could make this, but i heard that you could borrow code from the blast doors to make the swords work.

made the texture with photoshop, and looked at some real world damascus steel photos to get an idea of what it looked like.

I really like the damascus steel design!

this should cause no issues in stable, the same files are uploaded for stable as dev, there is no difference, the flag is only there as notification.

if i activate this mod, i got a message: "mod created in development, could cause issues in game"
and now my shadows are red.

so the next thing we need is a Vibranium steel alloy shield block :P
