Concrete Block
Concrete Block
It is created with gravel, or cement mix (gravel + ice... idk you decide). It only comes as a cube (no more triangle shape, slope etc.), used only for floor and walls (imagine a concrete ship lol). You already have the concrete skin available from armor skins (Concrete Armor) or you can make a new one.
Idk how hard or not it might be to implement this, but make the concrete block only for stations/static grids, or just make it really heavy. Actual RL concrete weight is 2406.53 kg/m3, that makes the entire in-game large block (2.5m x 2.5m x 2.5m) weight 37.6 tons/block (making concrete ships very impractical). I don't think there is any need for Small Concrete Block (300 kg/m3), since you can't turn small ships into stations (I think so).
Also... idk about the difficulty of implementing this one either, but make the block gains its weight only after it is fully built (imagine you're just flying your ship and a random dude just comes and spams concrete block scaffolding on it, making it drop faster than the US economy in 2008 -_- ), or the block weight is proportional to its build state (0%-0, 50%-18.8 tons, 100%-37.6 tons).
I like this feedback
this is pointless...
what is the benefit of having this? we already have the concrete skin as you said. so it would be pointless to add.

This suggestion totally didn't already exist, no, siree.

Concrete blocks are not a good idea. First of all, the use case is extremely niche compared to the regular armor blocks. Second, if they exist, players will make ships out of them, and then get confused why they don't fly, and then bombard the Keen support forms (and any other forums) with complaints about "I made a ship and it doesn't fly, thrusters are BROKEN!" and then we'll get endless suggestions for more powerful thrusters because "the ones they have aren't strong enough." It's just endless power-creep and it will not benefit the game.
