Creating Vehicle Ramps
Does anybody know if there is a way to create a lower incline ramp? Me and some friends are trying to make a ramp for the vehicles (mainly the 4x4 and motorcycles) do drive over. I've tried ramps they seem to be too steep and damage the vehicles as they come into the building. The wood wedge tips look to be a better angle, but i cant seem to find a way to layer them. I also can't seem to find a way to craft the wood wedge inclines, I've tried to find a forum but i can't find one online.

Use cobblestone to make flagstone blocks. The wedge tips are in the shape menu there. To make the wood wedges you'll need a table saw, so might as well just use flagstone. The vehicle can still damage the block when you drive over though. Motorcycles are ok but the 4x4 will eventually break it.

By layer do you mean make a longer ramp? There's another shape for that, but the name escapes me at the moment. It's a cube with one of the sides angled down.

As said above, use flagstone (or wet cement) blocks, hold R, hit choose shape, use wedge tips interspersed with regular wedge blocks to get a smooth, shallow ramp.

You will hit the bottom wedge tip a little when driving up, but it won’t stop you like a 45 degree ramp will, and you can always repair it once a week to make sure it stays ok, so it’s a good idea to make those bottom ones out of cement, where the rest can just be regular flagstone blocks.

Here’s a link to the game’s official forum.

There are half wedge blocks made of concrete, but you can only get them from creative menu. It's half of regular wedge and 4 of them make full block (4 meters). Wehicles go over it without any issues.

For those who need specific instructions:
1. Load your server/game
2. press F1 to open the console and type "dm" without the quotes and then press enter
3. type "cm" without the quotes and then press enter
4. press F1 again to close the console
5. press the U key to open the creative menu
6. search for "narrow" without the quotes and the first 4 blocks you see are the ones you need to construct a ramp that won't damage your vehicles. They are called Wedge Narrow High, Wedge Narrow Middle, Wedge Narrow Low, and Wedge Narrow Tip.
7. If you're trying to align the top of your ramp with the terrain, you will find that there's a small gap your vehicles can get stuck on. Use the "plate ramp" block going up (/) and then a few "plate" blocks to space out a straight bit, then another "plate ramp" going down (\) to smoothly blend into the terrain.

Neither debug mode nor creative menu is needed. The "narrow" blocks are available in the normal player block shapes.

Is there really someone in 2024 who doesn't know about block shapes and is using the creative menu to spawn them in?

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
