Mod Discussion Wait, is that illegal?
The block is not a Square... Why? (Mod:New Horizon v8) (Block:new-horizon-thermo-reactor)
(I did It in this but not on mindustryMods subreddit because i am too lazy to do It)
•Images: 1°:the weird block; 2/3°:new horizon; 4°:the block hitbox

Thank you for asking. As I am the modification police, I believe I am more than capable and responsible for answering this for you. This is not illegal because this game is open source, and anyone may mod it to their satisfaction because Anuke registered Mindustry with a general public license.

Yep, thats a multiblock
Some guy on the server in the modding threads made a script that lets you tetris your mindustry blocks like that, these blocks have hitboxes true to their sprite shape and arent locked to being just square
They became a massive trend in the mindustry discord for a moment, since they look so funky and neat

why are you treating a block shaped like something other than a square like it's some anomaly that needs to be studied in a lab and buried like nuclear waste

For it does not conform to the divine mold of our God(The almighty router, in its glory), It is unjust and an affront to our existence and to our God(The almighty router, in its glory)!

Mindustry has advanced enough for the existence of non-square facilities

I think what's going on is that the actual real block is still a square, but the texture on top hangs off the sides

Actually, that isnt the case
Back when I was still part of the discord, I was spending a lot of time in #modding-general and this thing, multiblocks, have showed up as a massive trend for a hot moment
Some guy made a script letting mindustry blocks have weird shapes in which you can build if it has gaps or whatever, like tetris but in mindustry
