Etching: Scribe a Message on Your Pretty Stone Wall!

[kaemonawa 4]

Haven't you ever wanted to carve the history of your world into the walls of your castle?

As a minor addition for some fun playability, why not add a setting to the chisel that allows a would-be mason to carve a message ( using the same interface as with a sign) on any chisel-able block? Text color could be white on darker stones, and black on paler stones.

While this does essentially do the same thing as a sign, it allows for a more aesthetic method of conveying your message. I personally would love to see this added just because it would make my Romanesque map more believable

I thought this was going to be added with cubit carving.

I think it is. I think it was discussed in that thread as well.

EDIT: For clarity, my understanding is that, by being able to carve a block one little square at a time, you could conceivably accomplish etching.

i think he means instead of carving out little bits of blocks, stone could act like a sign that you could type on if you have a chisel

Indeed. I had checked the cubit thread, but it seemed like it would be painstaking to carve a message etch by etch. Specifically, I would like to stone, stone bricks, and smooth stone to act like signs when right-clicked with the etch mode enabled on a chisel. The font color would be white, grey, or black, depending on the stone's color.

At first, I didn't like this idea much. It seemed too easy. But, now I can see how the possible level of detail for the etching would be much greater and open up the possibility of ornate woodcarving as well.

Endorsed.

I see a large lack of Diamond spam buttons in this menu so I'll just add 2 cents here:

Ascetically, its genius to have such things. can we agree adding metal/stone plaques to this as well would be nice? something that works almost like a sign? Difference would be when placed on ground it lays there.

No. The cubit thing is already confirmed and this would seriously fuck with it. You don't even know.

Not enough like buttons >.<

How the hell do you like something more than once I need to like this five hundred times.

Would be painstaking to carve a message etch by etch, hmm now this makes me think of something, you know, Actual etching comes to mind... but seriously, there is a reason not many books are imprinted in stone/wood. it takes mass amounts of precision, and paitence, i would be happy to see someone carve out a design on a temple/palace etch by etch... "Yes, little dwarves.... yesss....."

It could work something like carving from inficraft or the hammer and chisel feature from the runic dust mod.

If I may ask, when will this cubit thing be added? It would seriously improve my Roman world lol
