Constructing Flesh and Bone Architecture in Macabre

guide

Flesh and bone construction blocks allow builders to design grotesque fortresses, catacombs, and organic sanctuaries in Macabre. The mod provides a complete architectural palette encompassing structural masonry, specialized timber, and biological building components.

Extracting Cracked Bone from Planks

Rather than relying purely on standard skeletal drops, builders can process various species of dimension wood into structural bone material. Placing two wooden planks together on a crafting table yields four Cracked Bone items:

Two Drenched Planks yield four Cracked Bone.
Two Dried Planks yield four Cracked Bone.
Two Soaked Planks yield four Cracked Bone.
Two Teething Planks yield four Cracked Bone.
Two Wasted Planks yield four Cracked Bone.

Cracked Bone serves as a durable structural crossbeam and provides the required handles for organic tools and decorative bone fixtures.

Hard Stone and Masonry Bricks

Subterranean construction begins with Brittlestone, a naturally occurring rock that can be refined into refined building materials through two distinct methods:

Smelting Brittlestone inside any standard furnace yields one Hard Stone.
Combining one Brittlestone with one Scorching Acid inside a crafting grid dissolves impurities to produce one Hard Stone.

Once Hard Stone is acquired, players can shape it into multiple decorative brick profiles:

Four Hard Stone blocks arranged in a square craft four Hard Brick blocks.
Four Hard Stone blocks can alternately be shaped into four Long Brick blocks.
Four Hard Stone blocks also craft four Soft Brick blocks.
Combining six Hard Stone blocks with three Brittlestone blocks crafts six Hard Brick Pillar columns for load-bearing grand halls.

Slabs, Stairs, and Walls

Every masonry style in the mod includes a full suite of architectural adaptations for complex roofs, balustrades, and staircases. The conversion ratios strictly match architectural standards:

Three brick blocks in a horizontal row produce six slabs, such as Hard Brick Slab, Long Brick Slab, Soft Brick Slab, and Brittlestone Slab.
Six brick blocks arranged in a staircase pattern yield four stairs, producing Hard Brick Stairs, Long Brick Stairs, Soft Brick Stairs, and Brittlestone Stairs.
Six brick blocks arranged in two horizontal rows craft six protective walls, yielding Hard Brick Wall, Long Brick Wall, Soft Brick Wall, and Brittlestone Wall.
Dimension timbers offer matching woodwork, producing Drenched Slabs, Dried Slab, Soaked Slab, Teething Slab, and Wasted Slab.

Biological Doors and Embryonic Masses

For sinister fortresses requiring fleshy thresholds, organic building blocks provide unique entranceways and living decor:

Flesh Door: Placing six Soaked Planks in two vertical columns crafts three fleshy doorways that blend seamlessly with living walls.
Flesh Mass Embryo: A living focal block synthesized from four Raw Blood Clot, one Brain, one Lungs, one Mortis Essence, one Heart, and one Stomach.
