    Yes. The new blocks are going to be so helpful for aesthetic designs on smaller entities.

    Keep getting texture errors at 94% loading and null pointer critical errors at 99%. Is this a known issue with this version or should I submit a bug report?

    Would slab buttons be a possibility for the future? Seems like something players have desired, myself for one. I understand one problem is that the sides would be squished which might look funky, kupu would it actually look that bad?

    Yes this patch is exploding for me too, no idea what's going on either, we've got a topic going in the support section.

    Schinefriends, is there any intention to change the mass/hp/armor of a block that is in slab form (or say, a wedge being different from a full block of the same type)? It'd would be nice to know before we all start building cool stuff with slabs then they change stats suddenly someday.

    The hotfix should solve the problems. Please report to the testers if you have any more problems.

    Since slabs have the same protective properties as the full block and don't really give an advantage since you can't stack them in the same space, the mass is probably not going to change (I say that now, but of course this isn't 100%. But atm I see no reason to change it)

    Where you at, Minecraft!? We got slabs now!

    All we need now is ladders and the Starmade revolution can truly begin.

    Nice addition but I'll get excited when other block shapes are also done. Been eagerly awaiting wedges to help make better non-stepped hulls.

    Also any plans to make textures scale correctly along the edges?

    Wait, were these mentioned somewhere?!

    Awesome update! The slabs are going to work wonders on some mech related stuff I'm working on. :)

    From the news post. Check it out
    Slab versions of special blocks like wedges and corners will follow. If necessary the internal size of blocks can be expanded from 3 to 4 bytes, effectively doubling block ids a few times, so don’t worry about block ids running out.

    Love the slabs. Not too sure about the blacker hull though. Feels like I’m looking at a black blob now.
