When I want to build something with complex geometric shape, usually I calculate certain blocs. Obviously, I don't do that manually, but through a libreoffice's spreadsheet and console commands IG (size, surfacescale...). This way, the necessary calculations are done only once to create a tool that can be reused in different situations. Only the parameters need to be adapted to each case. For example, the windmill I recently published uses this technique.

However, I am currently stuck on calculating the "surface offset". I know there is an inverse function somewhere and that the only two variables are the block dimension and the surface scale in the axis considered, but I can't find the formula that will allow me to control this. Would it be possible to have a point on the math behind the surface offset?

I tried to find a "setgap" or a "gap" command to set manually the gap value, and surprisingly it doesn't seem to exist. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway, It would be nice to have such a command, especially if we can also set a negative value this way. I would like to use negative values to make tile rows: they need to be imbricated one into the other.

Edit : I don't know how I managed, but the "gap" command does exist and accepts negative values. So a thread for nothing, sorry.

Old Windmill

I completely rebuilt my old windmill to fix some details that no longer suited me. The new version uses about 10% fewer blocks and is more detailed.

I made three variations in limestone, sandstone, and black shale, with exactly the same shape, and others are easily doable in creative mode.

It was built on the grid, if you want to keep that, change the blueprint's pivot to "Selection Area (Legacy)" point in your settings (Miscellaneous -> Blueprints).

There are a few blocks around the mill to make it easier to place back on the grid; you'll need to remove them. It's also designed to be sunk into the ground down to the door level; feel free to add a few steps at the entrance.

Thanks

Sorry to answer in english, but I'm french and I still need some training in german.

I have already asked red51 if this green arrow can be visible in blueprints too some mounth ago. I think we just have to hope he read this and put it on the list for one of the next updates

Thanks

Its just not the first version of this benchs, I waited until I was enough satisfied before publishing. Feel free to dismantle it in creative, but they are no big secret.

Antique furniture

VIII – Chairs

15/06/2025 - Initial release.

Description

Antique furniture is a series of blueprints with the ambition to cover the main types of furniture that can be found in the western world during the pre-industrial era. Currently, 8 sets are ready (bookshelf, bed, table, throne, pottery, cabinets), and few others are in various stage of progress.

The Part VIII - chairs contains 9 different chairs.

Installation

Unzip all the content into your blueprint folder, usually \Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\Blueprints. Of course, you need to use your blueprint table to obtain the set content in game.

If you have installed an older version of the set, you should remove it first.

→ II – Bed

→ III – Table

→ IV – Throne

→ V – Pottery

→ VI – Cabinets

Nice You can try to repaint it too, I have given some color example in the first post and tips if you want an enameled version

Thoses blueprints are public now, you are free to use them like you want

I'm happy you like it

Antique furniture

VI – Stools & Benches

15/06/2025 - Initial release.

Description

Antique furniture is a series of blueprints with the ambition to cover the main types of furniture that can be found in the western world during the pre-industrial era. Currently, 7 sets are ready (bookshelf, bed, table, throne, pottery, cabinets, stools & benches), and few others are in various stage of progress.

Part VII, stools & benches: Its 7 differents variants of stools & 6 variants of benches in 3 sizes.

Each piece of furniture has a coded name who allow to quickly know its type and dimensions. For example :

Bench_T1-W2

T1 → Type 1

W2 → Width 2 blocks

Part VI, cabinet: Its 3 differents type of furnitures (Sideboard, Welch dresser, and Wardrobe) in various size.

Each piece of furniture has a coded name who allow to quickly know its type and dimensions. For example :

Wardrobe_T1-D1h-W3-H3

T1 → Type 1

D1h → Deep 1 & half blocks

W3 → Width 3 blocks

H3 → Height 3 blocks

Possible adjustments

All the blueprints are built in modular snapping mode, but on the grid. The shelves are all at a specific height to facilitate the placement of objects inside using the grid. Each individual shelf is made of a block and a cylinder. You can easily adjust they height or number, by coping the shape (INSER key), and moving it up or down.

P.S. Thanks red51 for fixing the resized doors & blueprints bug few version ago, that allow to publish a clean version of this cabinets.

It will be great if we have an option to change the texture scale and alignment outside creative mode, maybe in the "C" menu of the paint tools

The underlying question is rather what choice to make to preserve performance in large projects without sacrificing too much the details. If we can "substract" objects inside rooms, that can let more freedom to build.

Do we have Occlusion culling (or something similar) in RW ?

The question is for red51 of course, but the answer can be usefull for all.

To put it simply, it's a 3D rendering technique that prevents the calculation of objects hidden by others and therefore invisible. It's a way to have better performance. It's useful, among other things, to avoid calculating every small object in the next room, behind the wall.

Smart way to do books

I agree, at least some type of plaster should be able with the "old" workbench

I noticed something strange about the ambient light for a long time. Now, I think the direction is wrong, bottom to top instead of top to bottom. So, I make an experiment: A close box in creative at 12h (tod 12), with different textures both on floor and on ceiling without any parasite light to have a good base for a comparison. You can see the result on this screenshot :

We can notice that the ceiling is always lighter than the floor, regardless of the texture used, which means that the light comes from the floor towards the ceiling.

I miss something?

red51 Ich hoffe, ihr vergesst den abgerundeten Zylinder nicht, den ich vor ein paar Monaten auch gefragt habe

Quote from CursedXistence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_thunderstorm

Of course, they are dry storm in the real world, even in summer in my own region in southern Europe. But its not what its pointed here. I have clearly mentioned a clear sky. Dry storm occurs only with a cover one (without rain). Here, it's just an unrealistic occurence of lightning and thunder in a perfect sunny blue sky

Edit : two sreenshot for illustration

I have noticed lightning in a clear sky in an arid biome. I'm assuming this is stormy weather in temperate biomes. That can be fixed in a hotfix or than need more work to implement local weather ?
