How to change how your hull blocks look like.

[lizardking_89]

I was watching some videos on you tube on how to build stuff and this caught my eye https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZD23yjw__M

If you fast forward to about the 8 minute mark he's using hull blocks with like a curved brick design on them. How do you make blocks like this? I'd appreciate any help thanks.

After you select a block to use to start building, right click.

We used to have to build each of over 100 block shapes when building.

Now you just
1) Create (craft) some block of material type you want to use (Iron, wood, concrete, etc)
2) Just prior to placing, right click and select the shape you want.
3) A colred line apears thru one side of cube, the block rotates on this. Use delete to make it rotate on one of its 3 axis.
4) Use End to rotate it in the direction you want.
5) Place the block
----- Repeat step 5 as many times as you need.
6) Use a texture tool to further refine the block pattern, (make it a light block, armoured block, louver, or from a stairs block select WHICH stairs to use, add text, images etc...)
7) Use the color tool to "paint" one or more (or all) Sides.

Much simpler, faster, and more efficient that having to stockpile dozens of pre shaped blocks premade in certain colors as described in the turorials.

This was changed within the pst month, so its new, and you tube is out of date in a lot of ways.

Awesome thanks a lot. Yes I noticed alot of videos were from quite a few months ago.

When searching for gameplay videos from a game in development it's the best to sort them by upload date or narrow down the results to last week/month - both with filters. The default sorting order of searches on YouTube is by relevance, which may show some really old videos first.
