Concrete Block

In 1 collection by MARH
MARH's mod

Description
This mod adds concrete blocks as exterior objects.
The blocks are helpful for crowd control equipment.
Image1: No blocks
Image2: Using blocks

You can unlock all blocks by researching "Small House."
After that, you can find them in the CONCRETE BLOCK category in the building menu.
The blocks do not create player base but can change the radius of base.
Example Image

Import is not required.
I recommend dismantling blocks before you remove this mod.

I set all the building costs of blocks to 0 for two reasons:
・You can build them on the terrain your characters cannot reach.
・You can remove them without hesitation when your character is trapped among them.

-CAUTION-
I strongly advise not making an inaccessible area that fully enclosed by blocks .
The blocks are not doors or walls, so characters cannot attack and break obstacle blocks.
It sounds excellent for base defense but not so for pathfinding calculation.

If concrete blocks do not appear on your building menu when you finish Small House research, please try this mod→ Concrete Block Research Change
It replaces the required research on concrete blocks with a new, independent one. 

-Note-
There are two link types of block: NORMAL and SINGLE.
The difference between the types is how you can extend the line of blocks.
The NORMAL type is handy for making long, straight lines of blocks as vanilla walls.
The SINGLE type is suited for making curved or zig-zagged lines because it allows you to change each segment's angle individually.
However, I prefer the non-link blocks because both link-type blocks unnecessarily snap to walls or gates.


------------------------
UPDATE 8 August
Add Block-Chain Type blocks
Change the "is exterior furniture" flag of all link-type blocks from "True "to "False"
Change some file names of assets

@MARH awesome mod, dude. Thank you.

To add to what Riviera said --- Get this and the "teleporting bed" mod, and you won't have to babysit your base(s) while your expeditionary squad is out doing whatever. I get about 5-10 random attacks a day, and just can't be bothered to constantly bounce back and forth between squads. Just barricade the entry way with tetra blocks, and the attackers will either get bored and leave, or they'll get mowed down by your turrets - AND - you can make a teleporting portable bed outside of your base perimeter to leave whenever you want, just be sure to leave someone inside the base (on "floor 0") if you want to teleport back in. Or set up a couple beds and start mass kidnapping people to join your army! Whatever you prefer! It's great!

this looks very useful, especially when you got magic holes in walls.

for enclosures, Ide suggest the Teleporter mod, good for keeping prisoners -> Imprisoned.

*Reply for comments on this and the other two mods

Thank you for trying my mod, and I appreciate you making translation mods!
I am happy to grant permission to translate the Backpack with Light, Bull's Lantern, and Concrete Block mods.
But if you have time, please include the manual installation process for the Backpack with Light and Bull's Lantern in your mods' descriptions. My English explanations may not be enough for others.
