reykan Posted January 29, 2025 Report Posted January 29, 2025 I was making a simple bridge between my main house and my mill/crafting rooms and the idea occurred to me to use fences as guard-rails. It turned out pretty nice looking, and it also keeps the path relatively small while not feeling crushed (1x2 feels a bit claustrophobic to me so I try to avoid it at all times unless mining). I know its possible, as the fences can stack properly, but it seems to ignore the roof as something to connect to. In this case a bit of stair to round off the bridge The issue i run into here is that the fences don't meld into the roof properly. I know the blocks can meld because they do for other fences, but as the last image shows, they just kinda...stop at the top. Maybe I'm just missing it, but i can't think of a situation where you wouldn't want the fence post to meld properly. Maybe even make it a form-change with a wrench? If this is anywhere else, I cant find it, both as a mod search and looking through the last few pages of posts. I feel its a general rule that one should at least make an effort to make sure you're not spamming similar posts. 2
LadyWYT Posted January 29, 2025 Report Posted January 29, 2025 The drystone fence model is uneven at the top for aesthetic purpose. For a smoother pillar design, I would recommend chiseling down the block of your choice into the desired shape, in order to ensure that it's flush with the ceiling. 1
Maelstrom Posted January 31, 2025 Report Posted January 31, 2025 I agree with the OP. stone walls should adjust its connection to blocks similar to how they do for other wall blocks. Chiselling shouldn't be the answer for something such a minor asthetic as this. 1
Thorfinn Posted January 31, 2025 Report Posted January 31, 2025 I'm still not sure what I'm seeing. Isn't that what a fencepost looks like? Why would you want it to look differently depending on what it was adjacent to?
idiomcritter Posted January 31, 2025 Report Posted January 31, 2025 wood fences don't have a decorative top (and connect to a top block evenly with no spaces) iron fences that can be purchased from the trader come in 2 varieties, one which has a decorative top, one without that connects evenly, no spaces. so wood doesn't have a choice if a decorative top is wanted, and stone fence doesn't have a non decorative top.... perhaps an altered crafting recipe is needed to gain tops (with what i'm calling decoration) vs bottom/middles? 1 1
