Stoneblock node 2 spawn and how it was made I was unable to access my computer until now after Stoneblock node 2 was released. My apologies for delaying this post because of that. This spawn was special, we knew that it had to bring out the essence of this pack and show off the stone. Node one was kept more basic so we did not want to fully copy that one either, no matter how good of an idea it would have been. After running through a few ideas and discarding them, we picked making a mineshaft as the goal which then transformed into an amazing railroad. The build process Special thanks to @Punane, @Snackumzs and @chaseB2 for making it. Let us know in the comments how you liked this spawn. What would you have built if you had the chance to help us? I will also leave this sneaky link to those who would like to join the brave builders.

Nice! Love the shape! My only critique i think (and its a minor one at that) is that the uniform colors, tend to wash out most of the detail of the shape of the build. A possible solution is to introduce a few new textures or block types to break up the huge hemispheres of barren (well shaped) stone. Furthermore, it seems that the aesthetic was to stay as "stone-blockey" as possible, which is great, but as spawn is an established place if not the oldest place in the world, it makes sense that there would be more than just drab stone and some (well done) chisels and bits in the same texture. The overall shape it great and reminds me of the build that SystemCollapse did for his LetsPlay StoneBlock series which is awesome! He is one of my fav channels due to all of his builds start with form and let function adapt and follow. (He makes pretty layouts/bases and then populates them with functional systems... which has got to be one of the most challenging aspects to playing modded minecraft: making it look good and function correctly.) (SystemCollapse's base near the middle of his progression through the pack - hyperlink) Anyways, i digress, spawn looks awesome if not a just little bland, I would be happy to go in a spice stuff up with a mod if anyone is interested in this. If not, that's ok too! Cheers! -Som [doublepost=1546002224,1546001676][/doublepost]PS... i love the railroads and lava... it really ties the room together
Due to an accident at the spawn all Chisel and Bits job was lost but it is all redone now. I added a few more different textures for variety as you suggested, Som. Thank you for the feedback. What do you think of these minor improvements? Spoiler: Fixed chisel and bits
The mini-water/obsidian is a great detail but I am mad that I have never thought to do that up until this point. *hrmph* Overall its a great improvement! now we just need to get lots more wood/mining industry textures up near the rails to make this spawn look more lived in! I really should play around with chisels n bits more often...
