I was wondering what the real-world scale of Blockland is.

[BluetoothBoy]

Why not just calculate the sphere's size based on volume?

serious math going on here

[Taboo]

Why not just calculate the sphere's size based on volume?

this is probably what i'll have to do, which will be a little more approximate than i'd like it to be since the data is already super rounded, but oh well

 I would say one stud is one foot.

the door to my room is roughly 2 1/2 feet wide
the default blockland doors are 4 studs wide

[Brickitect]

Considering the size of blockheads compared to the bedroom and kitchen maps from v20, I'd say blockheads are about the size of legos. However, now that we don't have maps to compare to, it looks like they are normal sized.

That... seems HIGHLY improbable. Unless your shoulders are scraping against the edges of the door, it is not 2.5 feet wide. A yard is smaller than you might think.

C'mon blf

[Abstath]

To-scale with real LEGOs seems pretty logical

who was that one person who said the jeep's top speed is 60mph
no shame in coming forward

each blue mark is 1 foot

like i said, about 2 and a half feet

...huh, maybe it's my scale of distances that's off. I could have sworn that a door was exactly four feet across.

Oh wait, I'm thinking of Blockland studs.

we're huge, unless Planet Blockland is made of some ultra dense bullstuff it'd need to be roughly the same size as earth to have the equivalent gravitational pull
wait, i'm bored so i'm going to do some work and figure out the numbers regarding a planet made from plastic

I wonder how much gravity an infinite flat plain possesses. Probably not much, so I'm assuming we are wandering from realism when it comes to that.

[Xalos]

Actually, since the plane both infinite and uniform, it would have some unusual properties.

For example, gravity would stay the same no matter how high you go. Oh wait...

[Ipquarx]

For example, gravity would stay the same no matter how high you go. Oh wait...

this is not how physics work, this is how blockland works

In real life if you had an infinite flat plane then gravity would be the same no matter how far to the sides you go, but if you go up gravity would still diminish

in blockland it is, and since a real life door isnt 4 feet across you cant really use 1 stud = 1 foot as an accurate measurement
