Description
Update 2020-09-11:
-Fixed Round Timber 1 rotated collision

Update 2020-03-05:
-Fixed some minor issues, removed the wheels as there is no need for altering them now since they themselves have been updated

Update 2019-10-21:
-Added more rounded bars and created a second group for the added pieces for comfort of use.

Update 2019-09-29:
- Changed out the vanilla weight cube to have a normal hitbox. Added diagonal and rounded bars fitting the Iron Bars Mod (with not matching icons for now)

Update 2019-09-15:
- 1x2 and 2x2 rope ending variants have been added both to vanilla ones and Wolf's Shipcrafting ones.

Update 2019-09-12:
- Due to a request i added one missing variant to the iron bar blocks, the 5-way cross by using the model and icon of the already existing turning cross in Stori's mod. It's added to the bar group and works like any other variant.

Update 2019-08-30:
- Due to complaints about arched timbers and sloped arched timbers still not wanting to work in some cases, now they have mounting points almost everywhere (like they should, really)

Update 2019-08-29:
- Thanks to Onca77 there is now an independent research for just the wheels. No more researching of black powder if you want to play with trains.
- All files have been merged into one and proper inheritance from parent mods was ensured (thank you, Onca, for the patience :D )
Onca would like to thank Equinox for his help with understanding the modding interface and a lot of patience.
- Fixed Timber Arches' hitboxes and mounting points so they will fit now where they should.

Update 2019-08-28:
- Increased the mass of the wheels accordingly to their size and thickness. Increased stability and traction in result.
- Added a tweak to Wolf's rope hooks making them not break due to game bug.

Or even better example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3pHRBBUSWo&list=PLhoXNQqrCmEfAaTf0AfQ1Ztxmz2DoZiCk&index=54

Commet was too long, so I need to separate it in two:

I wold like to recreate various mechanisms, like those examples: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhoXNQqrCmEfAaTf0AfQ1Ztxmz2DoZiCk

More than once, I was having a need to create some form of "slider" like in this example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUGOtdwxvYI&list=PLhoXNQqrCmEfAaTf0AfQ1Ztxmz2DoZiCk&index=52

Trying those with regular 1x diametar size and necessary wider hollow gap in 2x2 size become too impractical for using in game. 0.5 diametar timber placed between gap made just 1x block size should do a trick.

Centered weight model mostly to be able to attach on downmost part of keel made by centered version of rudder. In some cases attaching 2 pieces side by side is too much and it looks odd. I would like to have that one for both, aesthetic and practical usage.

In some ship designs I need to add weight balance to make ship stable, sailboats for not tiping over and steamboats need even more to fight with countertorque generated by engine and propeller. If you put weight on bottomest part of ship it is much more effective and you need to use less weight for same result. Less balance weight - better performace and less energy loss.

As for 0.5 timbers, I need those for various parts of mechanisms, mostly to be used with 1x1 catch blocks. So far, I have used 0.5 pulleys, but you need a lot of dem, and over longer axes, you can't properly attach them on both catch blocks. Being smaller in diameter helps a lot to prevent creating closed loop by accident and causing crashing game to desktop.

The centered model is possible to be done only by sbc editing. A .5 timber on the other hand is not. That would require a separate model (not a big deal though). Why do you need it? It's quite specific parts i cannot see much use for...

Would be possible to have "centered offset" version of weight cube ? Does it require mesh model change, or it is possible just to create new part by editing *.SMB file, if does not require mesh change and texture is same.

Also, to create 0.5 round timber model, would it be possible just by editing *.SMB file ?
