Do different metals count toward the same prestige category as far as the penalty goes?
Refined copper vs refined iron
Refined copper vs refined gold
Refined copper vs machined gold
Machined gold vs machined titanium
Different prestige values iirc(hence why everyone uses iron for prestige dumps, other than the fact itās more common)The gems might be the same prestige amount tho
But I could be completely wrong. And as @VirtualEclipse said you could easily test that out
You can test this easily by exchanging one of your already placed blocks (best one that is attached to many of the same kind) with a transformation chisel. Look at the pres before after id say.
Well if the amounts are different I would think they count in different categories. Plus they have different block ids. Tho I donāt know how different the block ids are. It could be a slight variation which would make one think they fall in the same category. But if itās far off it would lead me to believe they donāt. Only way to really find out is extensive testing, or dev statements. Tho if a pc user can dig into the block Ids we could make an educated assumption if they count towards the same category or not
I just always went along the lines of if the block is different, then itās different?
Similar block (iron/copper, gold/silver, etc) are not the same, so they are varied?
But I also am very sure it is capped at some point too.
I experimented with chisel changing some of my machined iron to copper and back, and it really made very little difference.
If I change 6 blocks total, sometimes the first 2/3 iron to copper reduced the prestige minutely, then the next 2/3 would increase it more. Sometimes the opposite.
Which made me think that there are other bonus factors coming into play as well.
In the end I stopped thinking about it and just placed the blocks I wanted too!
I placed 125 deco gleam (exo) blocks today and got about 300 prestige somehow. Anyone else having issues with deco gleam? These are my only deco gleam blocks and almost my only gleam blocks, so they shouldnāt be getting penalized. I thought deco gleam were like 15 each or more.
I never really look at prestige so I donno this stuff
It is @fidach, placing huge chunks of blocks especially one type gets penalized heavily.
Same with chiseling, place huge amounts of chiseld blocks in a chunk it gets penalized as well.
Hereās a general tip if you want to max out on pres, build in a way that is pretty lol. (Variety, air, chisel)
The new blocks - gold filigree, iron with holes in it, and apparently deco gleam give absolutely ABYSMAL prestige returns. I donāt want to say too much because I donāt want my ā ā ā ā to get rebalanced Spongebob and Patrick style, but just know that if you are using the new blocks it should be for beauty alone - their only job is to look amazing.
