Materials with an expiration for building Scaffold

[Hela]

I propose for a new type of material (block) which would expire after maybe 8 or 24 hours being placed to be used as a scaffold to build tall buildings

The materials required to craft the scaffold are timber and foliage. The materials would dissapear/dissolve as they wither/decay

awesome idea building will be much easier

i think we were asking for ladders for years

[Hela]

Yes, that’s be nice to have a ladder as well. Right now I’m using Ovis’ invention to create the “ladder”

I can only assume the expering materials would be easier to implement because the game already have a mechanism to make building materials dissapear from expiring beacons and reclaim

Disclaimer: This doesn’t work with the Jump Epic! I am gonna share a “unique” way I make ladders in Boundless. Some people have used them and have been incredibly confused and I like that. But I wanna post it on the forums. I’ve been using this in my builds since last year (2018). If you wanna test out my current ladder, its in my base on Antar VI (1031N, 1969E, Alt 71) Nearest Portal Hub is Pyrrhocoris’s Estate, which is the really awful eyesore on Antar VI What is the "Ju…

There you go

Scaffolding could be an interesting block…

They’d have to tweak it a fair bit for a hard timer, the reclaim is xblocks per sec, and the expiration mechanic uses a similar “ticking clock” to how farming crops grow, meaning it’s semi random when they disappear, and not in any order.

Not that they couldn’t do it, although as soon as you add a completely temporary block to the game players will want a not so temporary one with the same look… Then it will be hard to tell the difference like trap doors and reg doors… Although if they just change the icon to be a little different you could fix both of those ok, talked back into it, just give a non temporary version of the design, maybe that adds glue to the materials needed and I’m completely on board

that would be nice
