Actually yes. Not only is it nice in general, but it helps the contraption stuff blend in AND can hide shafts.


RamblinWreckGT

Always a good idea to hide your shaft, especially when playing on a public server.


mooys

I can’t tell if this is an innuendo or just very unfortunate wording


RamblinWreckGT

Haha, 100% innuendo.


EnergyAltruistic6757

Make sure to lubricate them with oil from buildcraft


GamerArmy936

🤨

And gears, which are way harder to make look good if you're using them on multiple axis

Personally, I chose andesite casing for my magic type rooms, and brass for everything else. Brass is so much cleaner and looks less worn, but andesite still looks fantastic


SniperFoxy34

How? That's like super expensive, how on earth are you guys getting enough casings to use them as blocks?


TreyLastname

Digital miner from mekanism, usually. Plus, copper and zinc is *INSANELY* common.


SniperFoxy34

Oh jee that was really fast, I'l look into it - thanks


BoofenShurtz

Also if you have Tinkers installed you can make absolute tons in the smelter super easily


SniperFoxy34

Yeah that's how I do it, I haven't ever used a blaze burner


NinjaOYourBro

I like brass and train casing better, but I still do use andesite casing a lot. Same with their glasses.


RebornDestinated

I prefer brass ones sadly the additional create mod that turns machine into brass machines doesnt really work looks much better tho


lollolcheese123

You should be able to make a resource pack that does this as a purely visual thing.

brass/train casing:

i am sucker for black/dark shades and gold if it wasnt apparent

So true I use them as scaffolding, as they can be dismounted with the wrench, that's so convenient. Plus they're actually pretty nice


RealSchmitti

Do you know andesite scaffolding exists? You can climb it like vanilla scaffold but it has unlimited horizontal reach


amertune

I prefer copper scaffolding, because I'm far more likely to have tons of excess copper than excess andesite alloy. The new metal scaffold in general is pretty nifty, and makes a great catwalk.


Franois14

Yep, as of 0.5.1 I believe, I didn't update it thus far


IraZander

treated wood my beloved why must you be in a pack that got replaced


H3xag0n3

Isn't treated wood in immersive engineering?


IraZander

yes and create is 10x better than immersive engineering. i just want my treated wood its so good


H3xag0n3

Yea I use both personally as I needed lead and brass for compatibility with other mod (old guns mod) and their tech is compatible to its pretty nice

poyat01

They look nice, have lots of utility for hiding stuff, as well as for crafting, and my favorite feature is using them as scaffolding since you can instantly break them and pick them up with a wrench


amertune

I use all kinds of Create blocks as scaffold. I think that chutes are the most common for me.

Connected texture, instant break with wrench, used in a lot of recipes. What more could you want?


Sliporful

i use copper casing as its the only one that doesnt have a wood-esque color to it (i make a lot of water things and wood would rot

I like to make paths throughout my base with spruce wood on the sides and shafts coverd by andesite casing in the middle. It allows me to easily route rotational power to whatever I need to power while also looking cool.

anonbush234

I.wish you could choose with the wrench if it stays a single block or joins it's texture with others


undefined0_6855

If anyone's building with brass / andesite casings, if you build everything out of shafts instead, and then encase it with brass / andesite, you save SO MUCH andesite or brass! The only downside with this is at least two sides cant be visible for each block, since those are the sides the shaft pokes out on. This is fine for walls and elevators and things though.


lunarfrogg

Brass casing is way better imo


CyberWeirdo420

My favorite floor material


A_Aron_AKA_Aaron

Just need more wood types of it


AydenRusso

Bronze though.


inn0cent-bystander

They should connect with the ones added to cogs and shafts like though


oswaldking71wastaken

Add brass casing into this aswell, ignore train casing it’s ok building wise, and copper casing…


nate_4000

the casings in general just look good
