I took a quick peek in materials.ini and concrete shot out of a concrete sprayer indeed does have IsScrap = 1.
Take a look:



SettleMaterial = 177 means it will become another material as it settles and that material is....



Look at that, it also settles into something with SettleMaterial = 51. I'm guessing wet concrete doesnt settle entirely until it hits the final settling material in which case that is...



...Earth rubble. And earth rubble has IsScrap = 1.


Summary:

If you guys want a quick fix for the concrete IsScrap issue, open Materials.ini, go to line 710 and remove it (delete this: "SettleMaterial = 177").
This (in theory) will fix this issue. I'm going to try it out now. brb.

EDIT: Nope, you were right. It is indeed broken, I'll go put a note about it for Data.

EDIT2: Ok done. Apperantly TLB had a put up a ticket for that long ago, but he was not sure of the cause at that time, so I clarified his report a bit.

hey numgun, I just honestly want to say that kudos for looking into that issue enough to realize it actually was broken

Also materials don't climb down some settle ladder. What would be the point of that?

You fire your concrete gun, launching particles with the "Wet Concrete" material.
Those particles settle, and their materials turn into "Concrete".
If/when the "concrete" terrain is dug up and re-settle, it becomes "Earth Rubble".

Exactly.
But what (I think) he said was that settling Wet Concrete skips Concrete and heads straight to Earth Rubble.

And I said that was incorrect.

I haven't seen this in any topic but it is concept art and it is prom's work...and it's a Coalition Heavy so it's awesomeness must be seen! (found on the minecraft fourms posted as a ref for a player skin request... said skin )

he posted the fluff page here and that's the first coa related piece of art..

ARNE! Why don't you post?!

He does, just haphazardly on many forums. More CC stuff is coming, I'll link it here if he (or someone else) doesn't.

So, just read this topic again.
Good stuff.

Looking forwards to B24

ZONK!

Sorry about disappointingly disappearing. I can not control my
urges. When MML3 was announced I got too excited about that.
After that I nearly programmed a game on my own. But now:



I still have to paint it though. Eventually all of the slides with figures
will have CC-scale figures.

A few comments on this slide: I wanted it to be more effective narratively,
with more fun stuff to look at. I made maybe 5-6 attempts at illustrating
the VR concept, but ultimately I went for this space angle instead.

It suggests that the frontier is moving. Old bodies are left behind (hence beard).
The rocket lifting off might provide a transition to the exploration ship slide.

I used the dummy robot design, which might have been state of the art at
the time of this slide. Apparently Alchiral exists in some form too.

The devices behind the "dwarf" as someone called him, shares some vague
similarities with the famous Da Vinci anatomy drawing (square and circle).

And that corner is obviously not 90 degrees. I just didn't want to draw ellipses.
I hate ellipses. The moon orbit and Earth shadow might be incorrect.

Also, Star Control reference, but where?

I might have to read up...

O hey prom
Just one question, why no stars?

O hey Prom, what build do you think will have all the awesome concepts you've published here?

Even though I know you propably won't know but still.

Totally the robot that is pushing around dirt on the moon

O hey Prom.

So, who's content is going to end up the victor, yours or numgun's? Maybe an amalgamation of the two? I figured you would know more than numgun, since he quit.
