Planning a mars base, need good block selection.

[rungok]

My GF and I are working together on building a base on mars (We currently have a pretty decent base on the moon.)
and we are trying to plan out what materials to bring with us before we take off. (I'm making the Tier 2 rocket today)

After looking at the color of the martian terrain, my GF insists we pick a color scheme that will look nice for the base. (My current base design for the moon is made of glowstone bricks and glowstone glass, and layout/wall designs are not something I was focusing on at the time) She gets to design the base this time, so I was hoping to see what suggestions others had for nice looking blocks for a martial base.

Just suggest the block you recommend, regardless of which mod it comes from. I'll check if we have the mod when I get home from work. Thanks again for the help!

As always, chisel to the rescue! Seriously try finding an orange block and using chisel with it, it should turn out pretty good.

I think a black base would look really nice with the red-orange Marian terrain.

Thanks for the suggestions. Ah, Chisel... where would we be without you?

I appreciate the suggestions. My GF wanted to do blue... but I don't think that would work quite right. I think the orangey-ness of mars would clash.

I agree with you, but wish you luck arguing with your girl.

I've learned long ago not to 'argue' with them about stuff... that can only end in tears.

There are far more effective means of getting what I want...

smooth blackstone floors, quartz walls, chisel lab blocks sprinkled in.

Burnt quartz, graphite blocks, quarried stone blocks and chisel future blocks. Maybe some stained glass.
