Slanted Support Beams

[Deez 47]

For construction/fortification!

These are useful for constructing longhouses, roofs, tents, etc. They can be used to fortify walls or something else maybe?

Wow, has this not been said before(That I know of) +1

What is the advantage of using this versus just a normal support beam? Plus without an addition of a couple extra blocks you can't make a long line of these

Aesthetics. I'm just not sure it'll work as well in practice as it looks in my mind.

A slanted beam would require a slanted block in order to stick without clipping. :U

Wait, so are you also suggesting slanted blocks, too?

Like the Slopes Mod?

in my mind I was seeing a support beam that can support "stair stepped blocks" without having to add more vertical beams at each block up. X=block S = Slanted Support V = Vert Support E = Empty space

X X S X X

In my mind I envisioned that for making arches and peaks on houses, supporting caves and mines that aren't flat roofed.

thats what i was addressing earlier think about it the blocks can only be within their box so the only contact would be in the corners. I don't want to draw a picture so going to try this instead.

e=edge of the block, i=inside of the block, o=other block, u=unused space

Hopefully that made sense if not tell me I'll draw a diagram. Whats wrong with Kaevators slopes or the slope mod?

the problem is that you want something to appear at the Xs (that I've marked) without adding new blocks there as well. It's theoretically possible, but probably difficult.

My point exactly.
