Talk:Blocks

Merging a few pages into this one (or to Block)
There are quite a few candidates for merging together:


 * Soils
 * Ores and Special Blocks

I do not know the protocol for merging, so I'm making a Talk for it.--Ragen 00:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Are bars blocks?
Bars are listed here as blocks, but they are not placeable and function as items and not blocks. Should they be removed?
 * I think, they should. Gamecreator 21:05, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Should be removed. iLiaWneK'''|talk|contributions]] 22:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Same here. A block is placeable. Ores are, bars aren't. 01:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * All in favour? iLiaWneK'''|talk|contributions]] 22:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Ore and wood images
Am I the only one who is bothered that the images for the ores and wood are for the items themselves and not the blocks? It would be convenient to have a preview of that on this page, but as far as I know of those images haven't been uploaded to the wiki. Is there anyone knowledgeable enough to rip those sprites from the game or will I have to take a screenshot and crop it? I'm not very good with wikis and I'm not sure how to do this.

If the sprites already ARE uploaded and I'm not looking hard enough, then point me in the right direction :P --206.125.70.210 23:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, item icons are easy. Tile sprites are&hellip; sprites. Wood blocks have a modest 60 different appearances, depending on adjacent blocks and a random number generator, while Gold Ore has 201. I guess you could consistently extract one of the "single block, no adjacent tiles" variants, but you won't usually find grass or Hellstone tiles floating on their own in the game. --Lunboks 00:18, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, I managed to get some of the images to look a little more consistent with some screenshots and work in GIMP. I'd do them all but I don't have all the materials in my game yet so I'll have to do that later :<


 * Also, sorry for the changelog spam, I had to reupload the images. -Anabunbun 01:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You could use the actual game sprites, still. Null has a sort of guide for extracting them (and a download link) on his user page. --Lunboks 01:21, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Gems
While not placeable in their block form after they've been collected, gems are naturally found as blocks and in my opinion should be listed on here. --Tiwuno 02:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
