Double layered external walls
A quick building tip guide I figured out.
Since I shared with a person on Discord, I thought my fellow builders my be interested in it.
A way to make double layered walls so that you base's internal wall is different from the external wall.
But it only works for internal vs external walls instead of between rooms, else it can get kind of hard to measure stuff and can only really be used on perfectly flat terrain.
If you place a foundation, then a wall on that foundation, grab a separate foundation and use allignment mode (L Ctrl) and place it aiming on the wall, it will place that foundation perfectly flat against the ground alligned but slightly offset to the first one, which allows you to place a second wall, but it will be misleveled with that first one at this point.
You then destroy the original one and the wall you used and do the same on the other side.
They will then be perfectly levelled and alligned but with a minor offset that allows you to have 2 walls. You have to do this again for every direction wall or they start to miss alligned.
You can see in this image the difference in allignment after a curve in the wall. You can see the inner wall between the gap of the outer wall.
You can see how much the external wall misalligns after a curve.
You can see the inner wall between the gap of the outer wall.
To fix that make one final misalligned foundation with the last outer foundation before the curve, destroy the wall you used for allignment and place a pillar at that new foundation.
That pillar will be perfectly alligned with both outer walls. And surprisingly, even if you delete that foundation, the pillar will stay. You can see in the last picture that the final result for the walls is pretty clean.
The sad part is that the only floors that looks good that perfectly flat to the ground are either wood or glass
BUT, if you are smart about it, you can save one of the original foundation that started everything and hold up the walls with very few lower inner foundations by building the inner walls down from the ceiling..
The issue is that there is a limit of 2 ceilings away from the foundation, so you need at least 1 wooden foundation flat to the ground every 4 higher floor foundations OR use fully wooden flooring for your first floor.
Definitely finicky, limited and a work around to not being able to build double layer walls, but can be useful for somewhat small buildings.

[Headcanon/Space Age] What I believe actually happened on Fulgora.
Important facts:
- An ocean of oil + a ruined civilization.
- Oil is hydrocarbon made of organic materials.
- Organic materials imply organic life which makes sense with the civilization.
- As far as we know, organic life requires water.
- Oil comes after organic life. Because without organic life first, there is no oil.
This means that, at some point, Fulgora had water. Since recycling scrap gets you Ice, that further points that way.
To make oil, organic matter must be kept under pressure for millions of years. Considering the amount of oil in Fulgora's ocean, it is guaranteed that the planet has had a very long organic life history, with an ocean of water, for billions of years.
What could happen then to turn an ocean of water to an ocean of oil that would also result in Fulgora's civilization demise?
Well, water is more dense then oil and they don't really mix. This means that if there is a situation where there suddenly is a MASSIVE amount of oil below, the oil would go to the surface and the water would go to the deep.
One possible explanation is that Fulgora had insane amounts of interconnected underground oil deposits very deep underwater. Somehow, an event happened that breached those deposits, be it a massive earthquake, super-vulcano or created by the Fulgorans by accident trying to extract it, which could have caused it to explode due to built up pressure.
With those massive breaches, the oil would go to the surface while the water would be driven to those underground deposits.
Imagine in a few years, the whole ocean and possible every lake as well as groundwater also probably got swapped in that same way, suddenly turned into oil, and the only water you can get is what is stored, small pockets of lakes and insanely deep deposits.
Thirst kills fast, this drives desperation, which drives insurections and wars. Which collapsed their civilization between some years to a few centuries before our arrival in that planet, considering the circuits in their scrap still work.

I just found out that, when you have the Dwarf joker, the waiting emote's clock does NOT get scaled to your size. And the result is cartoonishly glorious.
Little man. Big time.
