How to Create a Themed Factory Section with Encasings

Planning Your Design

Decide on a visual theme for your factory section—industrial, steampunk, nature-inspired, etc. Choose 2–3 complementary casing materials that fit this theme.

Encasing Your Mechanical Components

Apply your chosen casings to all shafts, cogwheels, and pipes in the section. Use the primary casing for main components and a secondary casing for accents or specific systems. This creates visual cohesion and makes the section feel intentional.

Adding Structural Blocks

Surround your encased machinery with matching decorative blocks from Create (casings, frames, and panels). This frames your mechanical systems and reinforces the theme.

Lighting and Details

Add lighting that complements your theme, and use contrasting casings sparingly to highlight important machines or junction points. Encased components naturally draw the eye, so use them strategically to guide players through your factory's workflow.

Result

Your themed section will feel polished and professional while remaining fully functional.
