Now with release it is the best time to update this mod. :)

Hey buddy pink textures :P

Same issue as previous comment, too bad, I would love to have this

I use Nvidia and the mod doesnt crash the game, but the texture only shows up as pink. This is a very usefull mod, sp it would be nice if it could get fixed. :)

lol, this mod would be great for the -LastStandGamers and Video sage- i hear them complain about the gaps in their asteroids, lol...10/10

Well, MOD is fixed for DX11. Looks different from before but it works, at least. If someone wants to polish it, feel free to contact me.

@juboyer Please do a bug fix on this one if possible, I can't run this mod and it cuases the game to crash whenever I launch a world with this mod loaded, and this is an awesome mod.

Yeah this is definitely causing crashes for me. Any chance we can get an update on that? If it helps, I'm running an Nvidia GeForce GT 720M.

Just so you are aware, this mod has been causing nvidia card crashes for me. Not sure if it happens to anyone else and if its exclusive to nvidia users. I spent 2 hours going through my mods to attempt to find the reason and after I removed this mod, my game stopped crashing...

Nice!

Does it use Stone or whatever it's called in survival mode to make?

@dimitri Earth based concrete is not viable in space for one reason only. It has nothing to do with oxygen or carbon. They ran a few experiments on the ISS and on shuttles for universities a while back and the results were promising. The issue is the amount of resources needed is more than what is needed here on earth for s few different reasons. Also to get the resources where they are needed would be a feat in it of itself. Getting them there would take more than it is worth. So they looked into a new method. If you heat basalt (found on planetoids in our own solar system and believed to be on most others) to extreme temperatures. You can get the materials needed for an extraterrestrial concrete. This too was tested with Lunar materials and published in university documents. These findings were then covered in several science based tv shows and a few articles in magazines. If you doubt it you should look it up. It's basic chemistry at its core.

Doesnt matter Dmitri, it looks cool thats what matters.

I hope you know concrete in space is impossible... "Oxygen is an important binder in concrete structures (really, the CO2 is), and without it, the compounds do not hold their rigidity." It would simply turn to dust.

I got that it's a voxel. I love your voxel material better than some of the concrete materials and would love to see your material be survival ready. If you are not planning to do that it's cool too.

@ghostwarrier
It's not a bloc, it's a voxel material like iron ore or stone. You have to use voxel hands and switch the material to concrete with your keyboard. Some other mods give concrete blocs, but this one does not.

its not coming up in my inventory which type of block section is it in

You could probably create a tool similar to the paint gun mod that has concrete charges or material.

Any way you can make this survival ready? Would love to use it in scenarios and SP.

With a voxel hand, use the "previous color" and "next color" keys (the same you use to paint blocs). Check in your game options. I think that on a qwerty keyboard it should be "[" and "]". The concrete is last in the list so press "prev." once and you would find it.

i cant find the concrete where is it?

Actually concrete in space is actually being planned as the building product in various missions, the reason being it costs alot of fuel and resources to get smelting facilities off of eath and onto another planet than it odes to take some microbes which can process waste and other materials found on other planets and turn it into chemicals which can be used in producing conrete like material. Tests have already been carried out using lunar rock to create concrete material without the use of water, its possible and viable, but the walls would need to be thicker than conrete ones for radiation protection since the lack of water also means a lack of radiation protection. So 2.5m thick concrete walls in space, VERY likely actually.

Here is why (hard to compare to IRL, but I'll try):
a) Ease of processing: Metals(iron) are extremely cheap in SE.
IRL they're relatively pure as well(no ores/oxidation!). You can almost cut bricks of metal with plasma torch/laser/whatever and stack these together seamlessly (cold wielding)
b) Iron is stronger than concrete by factor of ~4 in compression, ~40 in tension. Strength/weight ratio influences transportation costs.
c) Metals are more plastic, composites/concrete - brittle. (meteorites! good luck stopping/fixing those cracks)
b) Large fraction of concrete is water (0.4, depending on the purpose). Keeping structure pressurised and warm enough (so water does not escape/freeze, but react) would be quite of a challenge in space. Getting water is also an issue. There are ideas on waterless concretes for the moon, not sure how usable is that for asteroids/space.

Screw this. Of course you can use concrete in space. Depends what is available. Here are my self-dismissed thoughs:

@Foan, agree, I might have been too broad in my statement. Let me be more specific:

I am assuming space/asteroid conditions, not planetary. I.e.:
I) Atmosphere - neglible
II) Chemical activity - neglible
III) Weak gravity IRL, variable in SE.
IV) Massive temperature variability (star light vs 0K via IR radiation to vaccum, depending on orientation)
V) Meteorite impacts. ( 10-ths of km/s)

My statements:
1) Using traditional concrete in space is absurd. (and unachievable) (c,b mostly)
2) Waterless composite mix might be of limited use. (bulk filler/foam, but not surface finish.)
3) Iron/metals are much more preferable, ice is also a great thing to use. Depends where you go.

@OverMindLess "No one would ever use concrete in space." That's a pretty large declaration you're making. Source?

Looks great. The only thing that bugs me - no one would ever use concrete in space.

awesome

ok. TANK you very much :)

@theclucker : Use the "previous color" and "next color" keys (the same you use to paint blocs). Check in your game options. I think that on a qwerty keyboard it should be "[" and "]". The concrete is last in the list so press "prev." once and you would find it.

@juboyer I'm gonna check it in the morning, but thanks and hopefully that helps anyone else who finds their asteroids to be solid concrete chunks. Much appreciated. o7

how do i select diffrent ores when useing voxel hands?

@KHORNE FLAKES : okay I changed a parameter in order to consider concrete as a "rare" ore. It does'nt exclude concrete from procedural generation but it will avoid full concrete asteroids. I cannot do more, procedural generation is still in early alpha.

So using this just replaces most of the asteroids in my world with concrete. Not sure if you've got a bug or if I do. Anywho, I hope there is something that can be done about that, I do like the idea.

mmmm

map download pls?

Mod +1, you have my appreciation and thanks.

I tried differents parameters in the material definition but I didn't notice any difference when I mined it. It seems the game don't use these values, sorry.

Im gonna fill a crater with this stuff and build a beach resort in the stars.

Oh... oh my... this pleases me... concrete.... awesome...

you should put the map in the pics on to steam, i am horrible with voxel hands and i really want that base

@KingdomBragg: Yeah I think I must try something like that, unfortunately even if the concrete texture is 1024 px wide, it still looks blurry in-game. It's not a big issue with concrete but I am not sure how other materials can render. So I guess voxel gives you better shape details but less texture details.

@juboyer: I like your thinking. With that in mind, is there any chance you could do a metallic or plastic looking material so we can do high detail stations with a more high-tech look?

@Crytum : Yes that's right it's hard to use. But in an other other hand, you can add so much details you will never have with the 2.5m blocs. I think that mastering the square brush and its different sizes could give really great results.

it defienately looks nice but its quite hard to get things in symetry with the voxel hands...

Brilliant, thanks :)
