Excellent

Don't forget to update the commit message, this shipment still says "More funny blocks" hehe

No need to worry about stuff already pushed though, that's minor!

Been a while ....... but real life gets in the way ....... of my having fun .......but I got a few mins tonight so here is what I have got to post ...

1. this is Davidite 1-5
   
2. Diorite 1-5 is second in our lineup tonight
   
3. This block we will call Gabbro 1-5
   
4. Here is a colorful one for you .... it is Diatomite 1-5
   
5. Last but not least ..... DarkClay 1-5

• 
  
• I know it is coming so here is the answer ....... No DarkClay should not be the color of clay but only darker ...... here the meaning is ......
• ................ darkness, blackness, gloom, murkiness shadow, shade, dusk, twilight, gloaming.

 

[Cervator]

Very nice, and cool colorful ones

On DarkClay having actual "ominous" variants of minerals that's fine, although in that case we might want to make a separate "SpecialMinerals" module or so, for fictional types. That would be a good home for something like Mithril too

We can sort that out later tho

 

[metouto]

I went ahead and committed and pushed the last group 25

I also agree with you about "SpecialMinerals" and yes about sorting it out later

Now here are my next few offerings .......

1. Cryolite 1-5
2. Dacite 1-5
3. CorundumYellow 1-5
4. CorundumRed 1-5

....... That would be a good home for something like Mithril ........ ????

 

[Cervator]

All looking good

Yeah Mithril like in Lord of the Rings and various other settings. Lots of fictional but interesting minerals/metals like that we might want to add eventually.

 

[metouto]

Sent the above 20 tiles ...... now only 35 groups of 5 yet to go to complete the list ...... then on to ...... what's next for me to do Cervator ...... create an atom blaster out of toothpicks ?????

 

[Cervator]

I would say we should look into adding more attributes to minerals through some sort of module-based system. I talked about it some over at http://forum.terasology.org/threads/physical-units.1234/ where I hope fairly new contributor @Palaxin hasn't already disappeared again, he had some good ideas and eagerness

We'd need a bit of code there, so I'm hoping we can get around to it sometime soon, before you run out of work! With a system in place to add more attributes we could start going full time geologist on some of these minerals!

With tons of minerals and unique features attached to them we could start taking advantages in various other systems. For instance @Josharias has started applying some limited characteristics in his JoshariasSurvival series, like wood and iron working differently for tools

 

[metouto]

OK .......... I guess I ask you for that ...... but it is going to take me a lifetime to even begin to understand most of what you have just said ....... but then on Dec 24, 2011 when I came on to help I knew even less than I know now so ........ this is just another baby step forward thing I would guess ......

But nothing I have to know till I get those next 35 sets done then we can baby step through this .... "adding more attributes to minerals through some sort of module-based system" ..... thingy ...... and by then I will be ready ...... maybe

 

[metouto]

We are digging away at these block tiles and here is a batch that begin with the Letter "C" (why did that just remind me a Sesame Street ) .......

• CorundumPink 1-5
  
• CorundumGreen 1-5
  
• CorundumBlue 1-5
  
• CorundumBlack 1-5
  
• Conglomerate 1-5
  
• Cobaltite 1-5
• ClayStone 1-5
  
• Cinnabar 1-5

 

[Cervator]

Thumbs up

Fav: CorundumBlack - the tiny splotches of green look really cool!

 

[metouto]

Sent ...... now 24 groups of 5 yet to go to complete the list it has been a long tunnel but I see the light at the end .....and it looks like that light is moving fast in my direction ....... I sure hope it's not one of those express trains coming at me >>>>>

 

[Skaldarnar]

I can't follow up anymore And most important - I would need the "Worldly Tooltip" to show me what kind of ore/mineral I've got in front of me in-game Great work, @metouto !

 

[metouto]

Thanks Cervator and Skaldarnar

Now it was not a a train coming through that tunnel ............. it was a turtle with a flashlight tied to it's back ....... so I had a good amount of time to step aside as he pasted by

And I was able to make some more block tiles for you to look at .......

• Chromite 1-5
  
• Chert 1-5
  
• Chalk 1-5
  
• Cassiterite 1-5
• Calcite 1-5
  
• Cesium 1-5 ...........

 

[Skaldarnar]

They all look good to me, no hard transitions or such

[metouto]

• Brimstone 1-5

Well, it has been a while ...... you may have forgotten I was still here ...... but here I have placed all the "B" block tiles for you viewing pleasure

 

[Skaldarnar]

Bituminous and Beryllium look great! Maybe Babingtonite could get some more attention on the top edges, looks a bit sharp at the moment ...
