Concrete Armor Blocks (DX11/PBR)

A mod for using stone. Armor for Stations and heavy large ships.

I also uploaded Concrete Tile Blocks for smaller texture/non-deforming blocks as a replacement mod.

If you suddenly find you're running out of stone: stone crusher block , by Hex, Discontinued. Dragon Industries - Expanded Ore Processing Vas's Ores

Adds: -Concrete Armor Blocks, duplicate shapes to armor blocks and some extras. requires Concrete Slabs.

Features: -DX11 -Zero deformation to thrusters (Need to re-test this).. Careful, thrusters may suddenly explode near these since they don't deform out of the way. -Easier to destroy than heavy armor with gatling. -Current block weight 6600kg. 2450 liters to carry 50 slabs weighing 132 kg each.

TODO: -Finish Build stage models. -I'm looking into getting large blocks slabs to work, like 1x3 1x5 3x3 5x5 sizes. RoundSlope CubeTopology seems to get them to rotate right when building, but texture doesn't tile right. (I kinda want to remove these. They don't look good to me)

Calculations: They are not solid. A slab is 0.2 meters thick, leaving a 2.1 meter wide, 9.261 cubic meter space inside. So 6.364 cubic meters would actually be concrete covering the outside. Slab dimensions are 0.5mx0.5mx0.2m making 50 liters. I decided to use a fraction of what might make sense to use, like light armor blocks use 25: 0.5 x 0.5 meter steel plates to make a 6 sided 2.5 meter cube when 25 is only enough to cover one side. I wanted them to be heavier, so I decided to use about twice what light armor uses of steel plates. The game determines the total mass of a block based on the components that comprise it. I had the slab components set at 150 kg (just changed it to 135 to more closely match the density of stone in the game (which is 1 kg for 0.37 L) and 50 of those weigh 7500kg. Add in the girders (which I also just removed along with iron requirement in slab BP) and you would get the total (which I actually just checked the weight a grid in game to find initially). The new weight should be 6750 kg with 2500 L making 6.25 trips carrying 8 slabs in 400 L player inventory to make one block.
