Railings and dirt

[N1ghti]

This post is less of a bug report and more of a question about how you do it.

What is your approach to collecting dirt or quartz? Glass requires a lot of quartz and I haven't found the right approach to farming it yet.

My second question is where can I find the railings? I looked at "Walls" and unfortunately I couldn't find it.

Thanks for your help and ideas.

I just find a planetoid I dont really care for, pull out my drill, hold the button down, and quickly fly through it in a circular fashion. Pick up dirt, quartz and everything else.

The circular saw has a recipe to turn 20 dirt into 1 quartz...not sure how a circular saw does that but who am I to say what a space saw can do?

Excuse the video quality, I don't normally use my laptop for recording. There were no items in my inventory prior to starting the drilling.

No voices, no intro, no outro, not monetized, and straight to the point. I know some people hate that, and I do too lol

I'm not sure about railings as I don't put anything cosmetic in my base, sorry. I did just check when I went in to make the video, and I can't find them anywhere

I edited the above comment by the way for more info

Oh those rails, I thought they were talking about the normal horizontal rails, which were in the game prior to the update, not sure where they are now, probably got lost to the void like the recipe for stone lol.

There are railings in the Walls->Custom Walls section

Hi N1ghti,
Quartz you can find on majority of planets. It has a little bit different terrain material:

When you press on the resource bar or (J) - you can check every resource pressing right click. It will tell you that quartz is also made from Dirt in Circular Saw

Railings are in the wall construction (custom):

Any word on when we'll have angled railings, for staircases? Aesthetics demand that stairs have railings, even if it's not actually a safety concern.

Agreed, I did mess around with aesthetics for a little bit prior to the update and no stair railings kind of took the wind out of my sails haha
