Building Machine Hall Details with Pillars, Bridges, and Lamps

Framing Spaces with Decorative Pillars

When tables and seating alone are not enough to detail a tall machine hall, you can frame your builds vertically with decorative pillars. Prepare stacks of either Andesite Casings or Brass Casings, as these two materials are used to craft the mod's small and tall decorative pillars. Place your Andesite or Brass Casings into a Stonecutter and select either the small pillar or tall pillar icon from the center menu. Place and stack these pillars along walls, corners, and elevated platforms to visually support your machinery.

Spanning Gaps and Lighting Workshops

You can also process raw casings in the Stonecutter to make bridge structures and matching lamps. Select bridge structures from the Stonecutter menu to span gaps and build walkways across factory floors where plain stone or wooden planks look out of place. Afterward, cut matching lamps in the Stonecutter and place them around your bridges, tables, and assembly lines. Adding these matching lamps brightens dark corners to stop hostile mobs from spawning in your workshop while keeping lighting fixtures consistent with your steampunk casing palette.
