Liminal & Void Construction Materials

guide

Chitin timber and Moon Stone masonry provide distinct construction palettes for building liminal and void-resistant shelters in The Broken Script. Whether constructing sterile institutional chambers, desolate lunar outposts, or chitinous barricades, these specialized building materials offer unique textures suited for surreal architecture.

Chitin Timber and Carpentry

Chitin serves as a durable, fibrous wood substitute harvested within corrupted dimensions. It can be converted into standard building components using common carpentry methods:

One block of raw Chitin converts into four Chitinous Planks on a crafting table.
Arranging four Chitin blocks in a two-by-two crafting square yields three Compacted Chitin blocks. One block of Compacted Chitin can also be processed into four Chitinous Planks.
Three Chitinous Planks placed horizontally across a row craft six Chitinous Plank Slab blocks.
Six Chitinous Planks arranged in a standard stair pattern produce four Chitinous Plank Stairs.

Chitin carpentry also yields heavy barrier doors and security trapdoors:

Six Chitin logs arranged in two vertical columns craft three heavy Void Log Door units.
Six Chitinous Planks arranged in two vertical columns craft three paneled Void Plank Door units.
Six Chitinous Planks filling two horizontal rows craft two sturdy Void Wood Trapdoor units.

Moon Stone Masonry and Architectural Variants

Moon Stone is an anomalous masonry material recovered from lunar environments. It features a complete progression of stonecutting and brickwork variants:

Four Moon Stone blocks arranged in a two-by-two square craft four Polished Moon Stone blocks. In a stonecutter, one Moon Stone converts directly into one Polished Moon Stone.
Three Polished Moon Stone blocks craft six Polished Moon Stone Slab units. In a stonecutter, one block yields two slabs.
Six Polished Moon Stone blocks craft four Polished Moon Stone Stairs. A stonecutter processes this at a one-to-one ratio.
Six Polished Moon Stone blocks craft six Polished Moon Stone Wall segments.
Four Polished Moon Stone blocks arranged in a two-by-two square produce four Moon Stone Bricks.
Three Moon Stone Bricks craft six Moon Stone Brick Slab units, or two slabs per block in a stonecutter.
Six Moon Stone Bricks craft four Moon Stone Brick Stairs and six Moon Stone Brick Wall units.
Stacking two Moon Stone Brick Slab blocks vertically crafts one Chiseled Moon Stone Bricks. In a stonecutter, one block converts directly into one chiseled brick.
Surrounding one corrupted catalyst relic with eight Moon Stone Bricks crafts eight Corrupted Moon Stone Bricks.

Liminal Barrier Blocks

For securing rooms against void intrusions, players can install Protected Void blocks and illuminate sterile corridors using Void Light fixtures. These clean, boundary-defining blocks create stark architectural divides that safeguard safe zones amidst anomalous corruption.
