How to remove wood trim or strip at the bottom of blocks?
How do I remove the wood strip at the bottom of some blocks? Like the basic wooden frames/wood blocks?

Image there. No idea how to get rid of these! Thanks.

If you have a paintbrush & paint, you can paint both parts with the same texture. You may have to try different angles to get the paint on the trim part, or use the “paint all sides” option if available.

That’s the lazy solution. If that doesn’t look good enough (i.e. the texture doesn’t align well), the brute force solution is to destroy those blocks and place new, full wood blocks or whatever you like in those spaces.

I'm not sure if I understand your issue, but AFAIK there's no way to 'remove' anything regarding bits of the blocks or their textures. They are as they are.

To add on to this, I believe it is actually a different block to the regular wooden block, I imagine it would be named something like "Block with trim" or similar. Also have you tried painting the block and/or the trim part of the block? if that doesn't work, then you'll have to destroy it and replace with regular wooden blocks.

Yes it is a block. Destruct it with axe or whatever tool you use to destroy a block. Use a stone axe just like you would on a regular size wooden
block. Just don`t destroy the block above/below, or to a side of it. It`s merely a chosen sized block from the R select size/shape block.

It's one of the "baseboard" blocks that allows multiple textures. You can replace the block with the standard cube, or you can paint the trim part the same texture as the rest of the block.

Better make a own base.
Wait until you want to place your outer wall and suddenly you cant because the questmarker prevents you from placing a Block. Not to speak about Collapsing Pois because a structural important block is on a place you cant upgrade, Concrete floors dont like to start from a wood wall.

Or placing a Landclaim somewhere, come back to your base and see 3 Zombies destroying your storage.

If you care about such details you should have enough love for your base to start one from scratch

The only way to do it would be to edit the texture or make a new one then mod it into the game. Would be very easy with some basic knowledge.

Seriously folks? The question was "how do I remove this trim or strip" lol. It is a trim block am I correct? Just take a little stone axe and hit it a few times and it`s gone. I could be wrong, usually am. That`s why I don`t offer answers very often because I don`t know ♥♥♥♥ from shinola. But looks to me like it is an added block, changed into a trim shape. Now if I am wrong, please educate me so I can learn something and the OP can have an answer.

Now we jumped into, edit, textures, mods, new bases, landclaims, lions and tigers and bears lol. jk folks. It`s a block, hit it til it goes away:-)

There are 2 Possibilitys
1: Its a Block, that means destroy it
2: Its a shape with different textures, that means you need to paint it or remove the Block with that shape and replace it with a normal block

Anyway, if you care about such details, i highly suggest to make a own base and dont invest several hpurs into a poi only to find out that something dont work as planned.
I did this once, spend 20 hours to renovate a poi only to find out at the very end that i cant place anything at a place because there was the invisible quest marker. Broke the complete base, no way to fix that without changing the half base, and its no fun to destroy far over 200 Concrete blocks
