VSMineralMasonry: Grout and Tile Textures

<p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">VSMineralMasonry: Grout and Tile Textures is part of the split VSMineralMasonry collection, a set of modular stone-building mods for Vintage Story. Each module can be installed separately, depending on which kinds of stone detail you want in your world.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">This module adds placeable grout decor, colored grout, rock-texture grout, tile-pattern grout, and tools for shaping or removing grout overlays. It is meant for players who want more control over surface details such as borders, seams, corners, tile lines, decorative inlays, and stone accents.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>New features:</strong></p> <ul class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mt-0 mb-4 list-disc pl-4"> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Placeable grout decor</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Colored grout variants</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Rock-texture grout variants</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Tile-pattern grout variants</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Thick grout variants</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Triangle overlay details</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Crushed stone and stone slurry crafting support</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Grout shaping with the grout trowel</li> <li class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal mb-1.5">Grout cleanup with the grout sponge</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>Supported grout colors:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Black, White, Orange, Purple, Pink, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Grey</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>Supported rock-texture grout types:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Andesite, Basalt, Chalk, Chert, Granite, Limestone, Phyllite, Shale, Slate, White Marble</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>Tile texture sets:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">This mod includes 16 tile sets for colored grout and rock-texture grout. These can be used to create patterned surface details rather than plain solid grout.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">The supported colors, rock textures, and tile sets were limited intentionally for the first release to avoid unnecessary mod bloat. Additional colors, rock textures, or tile patterns may be added later if there is interest or if specific types are requested.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>How grout works:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Grout is decor placed on top of blocks. It does not replace the block underneath.&nbsp;</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Place grout first by right-clicking with grout in your main hand. Then use the grout trowel to shape the placed grout. Press F while holding the trowel to select a shape, then right-click placed grout to apply or cycle that shape.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">The trowel can be used for borders, edges, corners, frames, tile patterns, and other surface accents.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Use the grout sponge to remove placed grout decor.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>Important notes:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Reapplying the same grout color, type, or rock texture to the same face should not consume extra grout. Grout should only be consumed when placing new grout or changing the existing grout to a different type.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">Chiseling a block that has grout on it will currently destroy the grout. Stone-texture grout can also be used to cover mural slab block surfaces using the first tileset, which is useful for adding extra detail to mural slab builds.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">This module focuses on grout overlays, tile textures, and grout tools. It does not include arches, pillars, cobblestones, stone paths, or mural slab blocks.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">You can place it on chiseled surfaces but it will not follow the chiseled surface shape and just lay flat over the block.&nbsp;</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>Texture note:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">This mod uses custom 64x64 pixel textures to allow for a higher level of detail in grout overlays, tile patterns, and rock-textured surface accents. Vanilla Vintage Story commonly uses 32x32 textures, so these overlays may look more detailed than some vanilla stone textures.</p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2"><strong>Testing note:</strong></p> <p class="text-size-chat leading-relaxed extension:leading-normal my-2">This mod has been tested in Vintage Story 1.21.7 and 1.22 in single-player mode only. There may still be bugs. If you run into any problems, please post a message and I will resolve the issue
