need moar stairs!

[Liquid Klone]

Extra utilities, and Im sure a handful of other mods really need to have gravel road stairs. im sure that there are a handful of other blocks that need stairs, slabs, panels, covers, facades, etc. every placable solid block needs to have these extra parts. it's a serious setback without it. want a gravel road connectibg your buildings and going down your mineshaft? gotta do something else. want a nice house with wiring in the walls? that cuts down your building block materials in half, because you need panels and facades. i shouldnt have to add carpentry to a modpack to have all the decorative blocks I want. besides, with showing tooltips, carpentry blocks are annoying.

Agreed. While Forge Microblocks has tons of cool and useful mini-blocks to make creative builds, the lack of a variety of stairs in most mod-packs is glaring.

To be fair, it's kind of hard to imagine how stairs made out of gravel would work, how does one take loose pebbles and make stairs from them? Same applies to dirt and sand. Yes yes, punching trees, diamond armour, cooking ores and fish in the same oven, just saiyan.

Ender IO Painter should take care of MOST of your stair block needs

My problem is I'm often running around my base with a wrench of some sort and Ender IO painted stuff is less...effective, appearance-wise, when in wrench-wielding mode.

In Team Fortress 2, my favorite class by far was/is the Engineer. Yes, I like running around whacking things with wrenches ;-)

hey, I never said anything about gravel stairs. i said gravel road. they are compressed gravel reinforced with stone brick slabs.

Ill have to look into this ender IO painter. I never heard about it.

Paint a block with the texture of a different block useful for stone stairs, log stairs, pretty much alot of things. MAY not work with gravel roads.

Ah, see, when I hear gravel road I think of the gravel roads common to villages, not a block called gravel road.

Carpenter's Blocks mod allows for a stair "frame". Place the Carpenter stairs then right click the stair frames with ANY block and the stair will take on that appearance and texture. You can have stairs of any material at that point. I love that mod!

*ps. It's also works for slabs.

Thanks, RedBoss ! I'll have to give that a try tonight. I have some mismatched stairs that need replacing ;-)
