Quartz vs certus

Nether quartz vs certus. Only mentioning for now

**Gimpansor: ** I'd second that the border on the chiseled and pillar variations should probably be less pronounced to make them look better when stacked. The block version matches the Quartz Block. What's being compared in the image is Vanilla's "Smooth Quartz Block", while our block matches Vanilla's "Block of Quartz".

Quartz bricks

Certus quartz bricks?

**Gimpansor: ** Would be nice ofcourse, but it's extra ;-) As an addendum to the remarks above. Extra blocks would be: "Smooth Certus Quartz Block" to match Vanilla's "Smooth Quartz Block", and "Certus Quartz Bricks" to match Vanilla's "Quartz Bricks".

storage channel colours

Might imo a bit too saturated. Maybe going for a certus + light green approach (cactus block)? Similar to planes or cels, but can certainly be a bit more saturated

**Gimpansor: ** I have no remarks here. We haven't figured out how to do indicator lights for interfaces yet however. Any ideas which area of the interface could serve as an indicator light? (Similar to the tiny indicators on parts). I'd also like your opinion on whether we should make the large blue surface area glow in the dark.

buses frame/border1 buses frame/border2

Import buses have a 1px border on their front. Storage bus and export bus does not. Looks a bit harsh from an angle in my opinion. Export bus could certainly also see an updated model with only 2 layers like the import/storage bus and not 3 increases the size of the front face by 1 px in each direction.

**Gimpansor: ** No particular thoughts on this other than it'd be cool to animate the blue surface area, but that's a bit much :-)

inscriber inside

Intentional or a flat texture missing (or am I overlooking it?)

**Gimpansor: ** I think the fluix part is supposed to be so substantial that it reaches all the way from the outer surface area into the inside, and I kinda like it, so no remarks from me.

drive inside

Appears to be rotated by 90 degrees?

**Gimpansor: ** why?

inscriber vs. charger

**Gimpansor: ** I really like the charger's futuristic, metallic look. So what would your thought be on making the inscriber's metallic surface more like the charger? At the same time, I really like the Fluix ring on the inscriber, so what are your thoughts on having the little "fluix charge knob" on the charger be maybe slightly larger (ring with 6px diameter), and be throgh-and-through like on the inscriber?
