Concrete barrel casting

[MassiveHobo]

I've done some creative stuff in survival Minecraft with lavacasting using scaffolding and sand to make molds/forms that can be quickly torn down to shape lava before I cast it with water. I can build massive structures like aqueducts, bridges, towers, walls, and cathedrals in survival without mining/beacons using this method. I think this mechanic should be in VS, maybe not with lava but with concrete for sure. 

Instead of lava I would use a barrel of concrete where I can choose the aggregate. The barrel of concrete would be expensive to make compared to an ordinary block (maybe cost 5x) and cannot be picked back up and the fluid blocks would harden from fluid into solid blocks over time. Maybe the fluid could set as stairs or slabs depending on its state too.  It would take up a backpack slot too. It'd require any sort of pulverized rock, water, lime, clay, and perhaps some other additives if other casting properties are desired. I want a knockoff block of minecraft's scaffolding because that stuff is an absolute godsend for building and lavacasting.

Lava and water not working in Vintage Story like in minecraft. They can generate basalt or obsidian, but a bit different way.

Ye, but what if I poured the concrete like it was MC lava, except I just leave it and let it set after it goes from liquid to solid?
