Description:

Gives softer corners to the endpoints of ‘girder’ type blocks. Also makes them appear vertically oriented, with cleaner visuals, when placed in groups. This category includes Ship Support, Outpost Support Beam, Pressurised Girder, and Girder vanilla blocks at the moment. It will also affect new blocks that use the same file (girdertemplate.config), but will conflict with mods that change said file.

Aside from the vertical alignment, this mod doesn’t affect the block named ‘Girder’ (it uses thinner visuals that don’t overlap with each other in the first place, and there’s no easy way to soften its corners without breaking other, thicker blocks).

This is one of four mods that include the base visual fix (use ONLY one of these):

Girder Tweaks – Fix Only
Girder Tweaks – Soft Corners
Girder Tweaks – Vertical
Girder Tweaks – Vertical & Soft Corners <==== You are here

Will this work with <insert mod name>?
Short answer: Probably.
Long answer: It works with the bazillion mods I’m subscribed to, including Shreddys’ Complex Blocks. It should work with any mod that doesn’t change how vanilla girder type blocks (the four I mentioned above) connect to adjacent tiles, and I couldn’t find a mod that does that. Let me know if you find any.

For modders:
This mod should also work seamlessly with any new blocks of this type added by mods, as long as they use the vanilla textures as a base / reference, and use girdertemplate.config as the renderTemplate; it’s designed to work with both ‘thin’ and ‘thick’ types (girder.png and the other 3, respectively).
