Compressed Rock Hull

[Gamel]

the way to use those unwanted rocks from mining,
the amount of rock i get for building a 100m long ship can build 5-10 minecraft style castle on planets.
And why would I need those rocks and castle, all i need is the ores......

So how about instead of throwing those rocks into space as rubbish.
Lets have compress rock hull, as weak as glass but with a larger mass.
To craft it, maybe 100rock to 1 rock hull?

Interesting!

Would be nice to use them as projectiles too :P

This should be very useful for building on planets, or a heavy tank ship

I think it should be a little more resistant, maybe like the first tier of armor? Their mass prevent them to be used instead for any speed-reliant ship

I'm disagreeing with compressed rock, thinking it will use up too many block IDs, and nobody will agree on how useful the new blocks will be and what they should do. I'm on-board with recycling factories that change a bunch of unwanted block types into a wanted one.
