Ridiculously Radical Block Re-Skin Competition

"'Alright, in a time where our coders are wrapped up in all kinds of awesome stuff (multiplayer...etc) -- we're looking into supplying you guys with some cool as heck blocks that don't require any code support.'" Jamie Finch, the Ridiculously Radical Block Re-Skin Competition thread.

The Ridiculously Radical Block Re-Skin Competition was a TerraTech Forum community event that ran from 1/12/2017 until 6/12/2017. Its goal was to generate ideas for new block designs that required minimal to no new code development, since the coders were busy working on features at the time. Community members were encouraged to submit ideas for blocks that copied or combined existing functions with unique designs and/or statistics (a re-skin of an existing block.) Block suggestions that were deemed feasible and satisfactory were then introduced into the game, most of them in Stable Update 0.8 (although these had also been previously available later the same month in Team Death Match and Co-Op Creative during their preliminary introductions to the unstable branch.) Several other suggestions have since been introduced in later updates.
