timmodude Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This just looks bad... A simple corner railing would be a fantastic addition to the building blocks set. If there is something in the block set I'm missing, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krougal Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes please! +1 For iron bars and fences and other things where it makes sense but is lacking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCrook1028 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes! This!!!! This!!! More This!!!!!! C'Mon Madmole, you're a builder, give us the blocks we need to build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 for now you can just rotate the normal fences, and pretty much everthing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illidius Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 When I need to do this I use plates to hold the railings up, hopefully this pic helps, it doesn't always work depending on your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbluebeer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 since railing take a full block, corners are problematic. Having a full corner railing would make things look "tidier". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]26008[/ATTACH] Yeah, I think we all know how to work around it, it still looks tacky. That and you did it backwards Post goes inside, rails go actually out a block, which looks better but has less structural integrity. It can also be problematic in some spots if you don't plan well (especially with concrete; measure twice, pour once!) Actually didn't we used to have a corner railing shape at one time or am I thinking of a different game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianua Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 What I have done on the corners is used a ramp (wood or whatever) So I turn the ramp so that the corner is in the corner and It gives me most of a block to walk in while moving along my ledge.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]26008[/ATTACH] That is one solution I had forgotten about. It does look better, though it still looks kinda bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illidius Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I've taken a new pic, ignore the paint it's just to distinguish blocks. Personally I use the pole on the outside like on my first pic just because it fills the corner gap as well as allowing you to place blocks in the corner. It's not the best but works for now I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStar Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 For now you can put Riveted sheet metal on the outside and balance a rail on top of that. Paint the sheet metal to match and no one's the wiser. However, to the OP: Please suggest this again once TFP have tackled the majority of the bugs and balancing issues. In A16 players asked for a few blocks and we got them but it wasn't till A16.3 I think. Things seemed to settle down and the finicky stuff got added. Turns out MM seems to like making these things so.... worth a shot right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianua Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I meant a ramp, in this case a wooden ramp. Laid on the side diagonally looks pretty nice especially if you upgrade it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out MM seems to like making these things so.... worth a shot right? Remind me to suggest adding traffic lights and PC-monitors with keyboards and mice, when the time is right! Seriously. They added so much cool stuff. Even water coolers. Friggin water coolers. The ultimate office scenery item! Yet none of my offices can have a proper computer in them :[ (Yeah, I know there are some tricks with blocks and paint, but it's not the same..)

Zourin Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Add wood plates to the outer layer of the floor, and use wood poles to fill in the tiny gap and provide support. Mount the railings on the plates, and you can claim the real estate normally used up by the rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euzio Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Totally agree for a corner railing to be added. Make it cost more materials or something but just give it to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
