    Can you see it? Or should I say, can you see them? The tree? The vegetation? It is not a perfectly captured screenshot where it showed through it is in fact an accidental discovery that I thought I would share with the interior/exterior builders out there.

    So, how did I do it? Well, the paths and surrounding areas are part of the station. The grow beds with the plants and the tree are a docked entity!

    Simple as that! Hope this helps?

    Seems the author means the bug when at certain angles you can't see transparent blocks and sprites through other transparent blocks. And seems he found a workaround. Good job, but I wish the bug was completely removed by the game team instead... But I guess that's too much to ask...

    There is a known graphical glitch that would have normally rendered this particular interior invisible.
    iirc thats an openGL issue and it doesnt always happen

    Either way, this is a great find!

    I'm gonna be using this for my hydroponics bays so that I can actually have glass walls around the tanks!

    The other quality of life improvement would be the game not rendering inner surfaces on glass blocks. So that no matter how thick is the glass wall it would render only two faces (well for most blocks).
