A ring for a circle of columns, stacked rings for a tower wall, and a narrowing stack for a conical roof. The points carry which way is outward, so anything placed on them faces the right way with no extra work.
Stagger offsets alternate rows for a running bond. Spacing mode works out the count from the radius instead of you doing it, which means widening the tower adds bricks rather than stretching them.
Inputs
| Socket | Type | Wiring |
|---|
These settings are also output sockets, so another part can read the number instead of repeating it: count, radius, radiusTop, rows, height.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Available when | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mode | count | spacing | count | always | |
| Count | number | 12 | Mode is count | |
