Quarry Foundation
alaindustrial:quarry_foundation
All variants










Summary
The blocks the quarry will be built from. Until the quarry arrives they are solid industrial decor: build whatever you like with them. When the quarry comes out, the same blocks become its parts, and what you have built from them will not break. The models and textures are by the mod's designer, rainbowboii.
The set has three quarry foundations (tempered iron, invar, netherite alloy), tempered iron scaffolding, two rail beams (concrete and plate), a reinforced plate block with a slab and stairs and a hazard stripe block in yellow and black stripes. Almost everything is made from Industrial Concrete and tempered iron. The designer's "steel plate block" is the familiar Tempered Iron Plating, which got a new texture with this set.
Behavior
Quarry foundations
The three foundations differ in colour and strength: the netherite alloy one is as hard as a block of netherite alloy and needs a diamond pickaxe. In the quarry the foundation tier will decide the size of the dig; until then they are three colours of one block.
Tempered iron scaffolding
It behaves like vanilla scaffolding, but it never falls:
| What | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Entering | you walk into the block from the side |
| Climbing | inside you climb up and down, like a ladder |
| Standing | you can stand on top of the block |
| Going down | sneaking drops you through the top; inside, sneaking holds you in place, like on a ladder |
| Support | none needed: metal scaffolding stays where it was placed and does not fall |
| Placing | like an ordinary block; it does not build out in a chain by clicking |
It is a lattice of posts, rails and diagonal braces, and you can see neighbouring blocks through it. The outline when you look at it is the whole block.
Rail beams
The concrete beam and the plate beam behave the same. They lie only horizontally, along the direction the player faces when placing them; they cannot be set upright. The rails run along the beam: on top and on the bottom of the concrete one, on top of the plate one. A structure block turns the beam together with the build when it rotates it. In the quarry this will be the bridge track; for now it is decor with full collision.
Block Properties
| Block | Hardness / blast resistance | Sound |
|---|---|---|
| Quarry Foundation | 5 / 6 | metal |
| Invar Quarry Foundation | 5 / 6 | metal |
| Netherite Alloy Quarry Foundation | 50 / 1200, needs a diamond pickaxe | netherite |
| Tempered Iron Scaffolding | 3 / 6 | metal |
| Concrete Rail Beam | 3 / 9 | stone |
| Plate Rail Beam | 5 / 6 | metal |
| Reinforced Plate Block, its slab and stairs | 5 / 6 | metal |
| Hazard Stripe Block | 3 / 9 | stone |
All of them are broken with a pickaxe and drop nothing without one; they drop themselves. The netherite alloy foundation does not burn in lava, like a block of netherite alloy. The foundations, the beams, the reinforced plate block and the hazard stripe block are full cubes; the slab and the stairs have the vanilla shape.

Progression
- Tier: none, the blocks use no energy.
- Requires: Industrial Concrete, tempered iron plates and blocks, and invar and netherite alloy for the higher foundations.
- Unlocks: building the quarry in a future release; for now, industrial decor.
