Los sonidos seria mejor cambiarlos por algo mas adecuado al material

would you be kind enough to show me how you did this in blender?

Is this similar to voxel shaping or are these placeable blocks?

I would just like to see this use gravel like so many other concrete mods, I think most rely on that first resources that you get from stone and don't have much use for gravel, hense concrete.

I would sugest actually construction components. can be assembled in survival kit and the description of the item is generic enough it could be taken to be iron mesh grid or rebar

For reinforced concrete I would suggest small tubes for a cheaper version between basic concrete and the better reinforced concrete, I would also suggest making small grid concrete an option for those who use mods that make stationary small grid bases possible.

Im not sure why using gravel to make concrete would cause problems though.

@AWG "Reinforced concrete using either tubes or steel plates may come as a tougher version." I would recommend metal grids. This would be a bit expensive but more true to RL reinforced concrete.

Well I wonder how the new skin will effect mods like this.

@andigogo I'm sorry then, I must have misunderstood you. I thought you proposed to make it LESS dense than concrete is in the real world

I'd like to see a few build states added, tbh - atm it is not possible to easily distinguish a bloch that has been just placed down from a halfway or fully built one. Just a few textures (slightly/heavily cracked, in addition to the one we have already) would suffice imo.

added cementproduction to the mod... 1000 gravel will be burned in 300 seconds to 1000 cement, 2500 concrete will be made of 1000 stone, 1000 gravel, 500 cement and 500 ice in 60 seconds. Starts in Survivalkit. Tried to fix the metalscrapproblem but dont found a solution... :( but i dont think it will be a problem because producing metall right away from stones goes much faster than to build and scrap the concrete....

@Kevin; just that you dont have to search for it:


andigogo 7. Okt. um 8:33 Uhr


it means, 1000 liter have a weight of 2400kg. means 1 liter have a weight of 2,4kg (make it round, take 2,5...) insted of 26,500kg for these 45 liter should the weight be 112.5 kg. Thats realistic then. The weight the concrete weights now is absurd high and have nothign to do with reality. Could you change the weight please? Thanks.

so, i hope you get it now, that i made concrete real in density, not like this mod here is with 588,9kg/l whioch is "little" bit to much, right?? To read the comments and understand them is maybe somehting you should think about before you start complaining....

@Kevin

i am german bricklayer, i learned all about concrete so you dont have to tell me these things. Why do you think i changed the density at all if i would not have knownledge about it?? And i recommend to read my comments again then will you realize, that i made the concrete realistic with 2,5kg per liter!. This mod here have a density of 588,9 kg per liter which is absolutly unrealistic! just if you dont realized it ingame...

@andigogo making concrete less dense than it is in this mod is NOT realistic. Density of concrete in the real world is ~2.4 kg per liter.

How in the world could you think otherwise? Concrete is some pretty heavy shit. (the density of water btw is 1kg per liter)

Something to think about.

is it possable to make it so it can accept only a few skins, for example, Mossy, battered, (rusty?), and frozen, just a few ideas

@stedo i had the same toughts about powered concrete too, i think its just to accept there are the needed wires included.


i would like to upload my changes as Concrete MR Mod if AWG want not do the changes by himself. with the MR version can you start with the concreteblocks right away with the survivalkit now. Just stones and ice needed. Personal like i the way of just building simple blocks insted of the hightechway ;)

@ Andigogo. I get what you mean about power. Like why would concrete transmit power but I think it is no more strange that 25 steel plate being used to the same way. Sure metal conducts electricity bit not complex commands like to thrusters etc. The armour blocks don't have a wire component but theoretically must have wires to transfer energy and data.

So I see your point but don't think it matters. We can just assume the concrete has the same invisible (and free) wires that armour does.

Definitely don't agree about voxel. They work well as blocks.

As for the weight... Yeah wow they are heavy. Sedtroyed the bottom of a rover when I forgot it had concrete in.

Very cool for getting suspension to really work though lol

@AWG I have been using this mod in my latest game and it is safe to say it will be a regular mod for me. I love it.

@andigogo Not even slightly how that works.

I think Keen never tought at concrete at all. so i dont think its possible to depower the concreteblocks... But if someone know where the entry is to change this ( i think to make it easy Keen just powered all blocks...) i can change it maybe. Voxels are not powered and i use a nanitedrill which can fill up voxels. Means, the concreteblocks have to be handled like "voxels" but not sure if and how this could be possible. Are there anywhere non powered blocks?????


And i will take a look at the resources to gewt back when destroying it. When/if i find the entry for this you will get the same amount in stones and gravel (but no ice) and the Girder you was need to build the blocks with.

Not sure if you realise this but if you destroy the concrete blocks at full hp it seems to drop nearly 9k "Scrap Metal"? this becomes an iron dupe for infinite resources.

Additionally is it possible to make concrete not give energy to connected blocks? just curious as it seems a bit odd that's all but I know the "Grid" system is a little limited.

Ok, i figured it out :D have the concretestuff in the survivalkit now. I have to ask AWG if he allow me to upload the ConcreteMix MR (MoreRealistic) version (link to originalmod and his name as original autor will be written!). I have some changes in mind with steel insted of girder, but want not put to much in it before i get OK for uploading...

@andigogo when you work it out, let me know as, honestly, no offensde intended, your vision of concrete as a cheap, first starter, building material makes heaps more sense. Sorry OP

Okay, i found the files and could make some changes. realistic weight of the concrete now. I added Girder to the concreteblocks and the concretemix need 150 gravel, 100 stone, 50 ice and gives 250 concretemix in 300 seconds what i need to now now is, how to add production to basic assembler and survivalkit....

OK, i found a serious mistake... the weight of the concret eis MUCH to MUCH. I have a cargotruck which just exploded every time i disconnected it from the connector and was wondeirng why. then i saw the mass of the vehicle... now was i checking the weight and volume of the concrete. 100 concrete are 45 liter with a weight of 26,500kg. that means not even 50 liter concrete weight over 26 TONS! https://www.inchcalculator.com/concrete-weight-calculator/#:~:text=A%20typical%20concrete%20mix%20weighs,and%20air%20in%20the%20mix . check this out...

it means, 1000 liter have a weight of 2400kg. means 1 liter have a weight of 2,4kg (make it round, take 2,5...) insted of 26,500kg for these 45 liter should the weight be 112.5 kg. Thats realistic then. The weight the concrete weights now is absurd high and have nothign to do with reality. Could you change the weight please? Thanks.

Was you considering to produce the concrete in the survivelkit too? would be very helpfull on worlds with low ore to start and build a safe base in concrete...

I need to see how this compares to the old concrete block mod i still use. That mod is irreplaceable since i use a stone crusher mod as well that runs on the old value of a rock turned into gravel (with the other unrefined ores).

The blocks are perfect, they are great! If possible, i'd like them to be colorable! Sorry for my bad english! Really good job!

I think you should add longer ramp variants if not already planning to. An amazing mod which helps me use my steel in more important things than base building

More like that (for not saying THAT ^^) those two block would be perfect, if everybody like it...

It would be helpful to have info like whether it's colorable, has build states, has LODs, stone to concrete ratio, etc, somewhere in the description.

and make all buildable in the survivalkit... that would be very nice because thats what most/all players start with.

AWG, i think you got not just a 100 with this mod, no at least a 110 !! :D this is the best mod ever for me, the most usefull mod of all! Question is now: how much time would you spend to add more blocks and add the suggested version with stone/gravel/iron in the mod?

@omnium https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=FIMlNIEv&id=3EFBE4CA874CFF970BAE53F9B1FAD6B510619CAE&thid=OIP.FIMlNIEvRSILJ1RzlaHneAHaPH&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.superiorconcretemn.com%2fgraphic%2fprecast%2fPillar.jpg&exph=710&expw=348&q=concrete+bunker+pillar&simid=608053887666880959&ck=A3DC3BD1B56D2E19104C688391167587&selectedIndex=6&FORM=IRPRST&ajaxhist=0 so like that yet round?

@AWG agree with Omnium, a simple rounded pillars would be really great (I can't make nice round structure in concrete) and for a "flared version", there is lots of possibility, but something that just go from square to round would be ample too (for me ^^ )

this comment will make you subscribe

Great. I would like to have a gravel version to get of all those gravel stuff. And i like the idea of reinforced concrete to make it more durable. :)

@AWG either the standard square or rounded pillars IMO would be ample, with a flared version to use as the top and bottom.

Thank you Airomis!

And Omnium, Link, what sort of pillar are you thinking of?

CONGRATS #1 ON THE STEAM MOD PAGE

I second what link8dragon suggested, if you are going to have Concrete your going to need a pillar of some sorts.

Great mod, goes perfectelly with the concrete gun (for people who wants slope block, use this mod, you can customize the lenght of your ramp)
If I can just tell a thing that could be really cool to add, it's at least 1 pillar block (and maybe 3, if you want to add base and cap ^^), with that, we can build some kind of roman or greek
column style for our build or ruin ;)
I especially like the stairs too, simple and efficient ^^

There are a lot of possible blocks to create... i was thinking at a 6 long and 1 high ramp to drive up and down with longer trucks. At the end, lock around what is made of concrete and create blocks you can rebuild what you saw :) I am busy building a u boat base (using this water mod... )hidden in a mountain beside the sea... there is a LOT of stones to remove.... this concrete mod should be impelemented in the game, latest when they gave this game planets was it time for conreteblocks...

Great mod! Definitely going to replace a lot of things on my current world. This would have been 100% perfect if it also had the 2x1x1 Slope Base and 2x1x1 Slope tip blocks too.

Okay, now found i the other elements, when i was searching for concrete...

I have to agree to dragonraalhaan. i was not aware about the needs for Metalgrids. So want i change my suggesation to: 40% Stones, 40% Gravel, 20% Iron. At the end, thats the basics for concreteparts. you allways need iron to handle the stress in the concrete on right way. That could be the simple concrete then, and maybe if possible, to build in the survivalkit already? The reinforced concrete have the same amount of parts, 40% stones, 40% gravel and 20% iron, but you have to add 30 metalgrids to make it extra strong?? And another thing: where do i find all the blocks? in my buildingmenu i just find the normal block, but no stairs or other stuff.... am i searching the wrong place or do i have a problem with the mod maybe?

These look fantastic. I especially like the stairs. I agree that using gravel would be better. Trying to keep stone from refining into gravel seems like more work than just using gravel, IMO. And it fits better with the vanilla system of ore -> ingot -> component. You should consider adding girders for basic structure, like this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=303959338

Great mod! Simple, yet is able to not only rid my mining operations of stone, but it provides a cool building material! This should be vanilla in my opinion

I agree with adding a gravel cost. There's no use for it in vanilla other than reactor components, which just makes it a nuisance. I'd love to be able to spend it on concrete instead of just throwing it away once it starts clogging up storage.

Thanks guys, you're all being so polite! I've been used to my weapon mods getting a fair amount of angry commenters, so this is a nice change. I'll keep all your feedback in mind :)

Just an opinion from me, but I would prefer small tubes for the rebar. Iron/Steel is easier to obtain than the cobalt for grids, and rebar is typically steel. Again, just a preference.
