That gradient thing never showed up that smooth for me.
IIRC, the more baseplates you have, the smoother the gradient

Neat trick, thanks

If you have a duplicator and a high brick count thing on the side of a build and you need it on other sides. AKA:A wall that is detailed.

Just duplicate it and rotate it to the correct spot.

how many of these are there?
I think theres one for stairs too
buildStairs();
maze(); builds a 10x10 grid of bricks
maze2(); slightly bigger 10x10 grid
stress(); builds a large cube like buildConfetti but without the colors
two(); builds a vertical tower of bricks
buildfloor();
buildfloor2();
buildwall();
buildConfetti(); builds a large, multicolored cube

if you hold walk key with jets you stay close to the ground and you go faster(?)
gamefandan made a series of videos on these iirc

if you hold Ctrl and the spray paint button (default is E) then you can make the selection go to the left column

if you hold ctrl whilst scrolling you'll scroll the opposite way
(on some menus it seems)

if you go into the brick menu and press TAB then you can scroll through the brick tabs. this is useful when you have a dozen brick add-ons each with their own tabs and not enough space for them to fit all in

this screenshot is from an old installation that still has it

doing this in a GuiScrollCtrl (such as the join server gui) it scrolls faster than usual

I am finding some of these tricks do not work. So please make sure they work in the latest version without mods everybody. It will save me some time. Thank you. :)
