S-Ancient Blocks ( Uses Stone Version )

Description
*** The Re-Publication is OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED by the original Mod Author SEKTAN ***
( My thanks to Sektan for all His work and for allowing me to update / add to this work of his )

Original PC version Mod is HERE - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=433922334

This is Sektan's Ancient Blocks Mod re-configured to use Dressed Stone ( A New Component ) rather than Interior plates / steel plates etc. PLUS 8 Concrete Blocks.

Great for early game building with limited resource's. Survival Kit Buildable in all MOST !

Blocks with Tech do use the appropriate components to that block type, and regular stone blocks are using some Construction Components ( assumed to be used to anchor the blocks together just as concrete slabs are anchored to each other with re-bar , rods, etc )

Dressed Stone can be made in any assembler including the survival kit.

NEW BLOCK ADDED

- Obelisk Beacon
- Flat Offset Door
- Bastet ( the cat ) Programable Block
- 8 basic Concrete Blocks

Changes Made

- Ancients Light radius increased
- Doors now have "grinding stone" sound for open and close vs mechanical

Block ID's are identical ( with the exception of the new block ) and thus the original and this mod are swapable with no loss of blocks in the blueprint. Blocks are Air Tight. Modern tech blocks when using the wood texture and appropriate color blends in nicely with these blocks I have found.

To Be Done - inprogress

- Create an Ancient Battery Block ( archaeological evidence proves they messed with them )
MODEL for this found free online ( pre dynastic Egyptian urn ) being edited to match mod and possibly an emissive.

DONE

- Re-Balance the amount of stone needed for the different types of 1x1 blocks. DONE
- Better / revised block names DONE
- Fix integrity and strength issue with Dressed Stone being to weak DONE
- Cats Rule :D and it was suggested, looking at making A variant of the Bast as a Programmable Block. DONE

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!

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
