if you change it a bit and add some pieces you get nice spiral stairs ^^

Have you tried replacing the twisted timber behind the water (the white) with Glass (also white).

I think that might work. If you chisel the glas the same as the timber.

As the strong viridian will than be able to bleed trough the glass and might make it “deeper” looking.

That said try it at one segment :wink:. As I am not sure it will work.

An other suggestion means making the walls fatter adding an extra layer or two.:wink:

can confirm, your windows work very well @Ovis

and another thing I’d like to add:
ice as a metal alternative ( in this case copper (hot sepia))
and marble border (properly rotated) for pipes (doesn’t work as bevelled lattice though)

Okay, I have a request for this thread.

I keep seeing people with a single little gleam crystal that appears for be floating in the middle of the cube space. It looks like they are dividing the block 3X3X3, but everything I can find says it’s only chiselable 2X2X2, so what am I missing?

I can get a screenshot if I’m not describing well.

It’s the lattice chisel.
I can get some screenshots to explain it in a couple of minutes

you can find some at my shop on Antar VI (TNT megahub, Antar planet gate, then follow the path out of the portal hub to the main building) I make them out of stone, so they’re cheap and color coded (it won’t chisel titanium and gems, but it is good enough for every day use :slight_smile:

Thank you, @PrincessMaude. Between that and the dev video from the release of it, I think I understand. You’re awesome!

@Apt, I’ll probably come grab some some time today, thank you for the directions to your shop!

It’s pretty awesome for getting the codes.

I place petrolim behind water and that gives back the old water effect. Works perfectly for secret passages
