Poured Concrete

Adds concrete mixes for building walls that must dry and cure over time for maximum strength!

Mod Contents

This mini-mod adds three concrete mixes that can be crafted at the Stonecutter's Table:

• 20x Concrete Mix can be produced from any stone chunk.

• 20x Reinforced Concrete Mix can be produced from any stone chunk plus 4 Steel.

• 20x Plascrete Mix can be produced from any stone chunk plus 4 Plasteel.

Concrete mixes can be used to build walls or poured concrete floors:

• As a wall material, concrete starts very weak and increases in strength over time. It takes approximately 1 day to dry, and 1 quadrum (15 days) more to cure.

• As a floor material, poured concrete is effectively equivalent to paved tile, with 0 beauty, slightly improved cleaning speed, and medium construction time.

But...

Yes, there are a lot of concrete mods out there, but I've found that most of them are more powerful than I'd prefer, are tedious or require new workbenches to produce, or use non-standard Wall buildings which can cause compatibility issues. I wanted to make my own take on concrete construction and hope that others find it useful as well!

Compatibility

Concrete is configured to only work for Barricades, Walls, and buildings that inherit from Walls (which should include most modded embrasures). The drying system should, however, work for any spawnable Thing so if you really want to use it for doors and furniture, patching the "PC_Concrete" stuffCategory onto those ThingDefs should allow them to work out of the box!
