I need help identifying building parts
Y'all what are the window supports (the skinny posts) used for the train car at 00:57 for the bob's tall tails trailer? I also see them on a lot of buildings. The issue is they aren't pillars (and if they are I don't know how to switch the skin unless I'm missing something obvious)
I also can't seem to figure out what the roofs they used for the train cars are, especially the interior ones that seem to bend on the inside
Help would be deeply appreciated, I have been trying to figure this out for like 2 days

i don't check these or post here anymore because a steam mod decided to casually erase some of my posts and leave others, to modify what it seems i had said, at his/her leisure


however just so you know they added "skinny pillar" option when you place pillars now

just like when you place walls you can switch between wall/doorway/secret door/etc

you can switch to "skinny pillar" when you place pillars now

Looking at the video it seems to be the wooden skinny pillar(4 options of pillars. Normal/Skinny vertical pillar, Sideways Normal/Skinny pillar ), im not sure if a skin is applied as i havent placed many of those *(i mostly use the metal skinny to reinforce my wood and stone structures in case of "catastrophic foundation failure". skinny does the same job to frame a building but not an eyesore)

i don't see any video but

that is what i use to build is metal skinny pillar with bob's tall tales wood skin applied

so that's likely what it is

I'll try to explain in a readable way.

The thin pillars are normal pillars, there's 4 different versions of the regular pillar (2 thick and 2 thin, horizontal and vertical) You change what type of pillar with R. After placing the thin pillar without being skinned, you apply the skin.

The roofs look like they used ramps and then quarter walls under the ramp, and then painting them. Hope it makes sense!

THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH
I was using the arkitect pillars and it just kept giving me the fat skin no matter which variant I used
Do any of yall know what the roofs are?

Ramps, with quarter walls built on top and beneath.

Noted, thank you, I didn't recognize the texture on top as anything I knew

It's kind of hard to see if you haven't used those parts and skinned them before, especially since they're painted black. Took me a few rewinds on the video to figure out exactly what they used. And tbh I'm not sure I'm fully correct, but it looks like ramps and quarter walls :)

Yeah, I was using arkitect parts and apparently they aren't all compatible with all the skins (i.e roofs and ramps both only get the roof skin, and the skinny pillar skin outright doesn't exist)

Y'all while we're here, soap seems to not exist anymore how do I get rid of paint??

It does,
its crafted in the cook-pot and cooker with oil and poly and water.


**Edit. It is always known in the crafting station. Deleted the unnecessary extra bits. =)
