Symbolic Basalt and Calcite blocks, originally by Bee

[crazymachinefan]

Basalt and Calcite blocks with colorful symbols on them, hence the name. Shapes were originally created by Bee, background texture and most detailing was done by me. (Background texture is modified from Polished Basalt/Calcite) Detailing for White Symbolic blocks was done by jonnyloaf. Block registration was also done by me.

Blocks are currently tagged as both bases and chiseled meaning they can be used as generic balcite blocks or non-gemstone chiseled balcite in structures, feel free to change. Blocks emit light at level 7.

There are no recipes yet. This is because I forgot

Also I fixed a very minor visual lighting issue with the top texture of balcite crests. Yes this required making two more block models, no I will not elaborate

Fancy!

1. How about targeting the deco branch with the PR? That way we can add a whole variety of new deco blocks in one themed update once it is merged into master
2. IMHO the calcite / basalt parts could use a bit more depth for some of these. Blue, for example uses depth/shadows extensively, while red does not.
3. Still missing: recipes, guidebook entry, unlocks
4. They serve the same use as the <color>_chiseled_preservation_stone blocks. For the sake of being easier to read, especially with color blindness, these could go with the same treatment, adding the shapes to the otherwise current recolored textures.
5. Name is still up for discussion: <color>_chiseled_*, <color>_symbolic_* or something else entirely?

1. I do not see a deco branch, either its hidden or I am blind. Or do you mean moving it to the Deco addon?
2. 👍
3. 👍
4. Agreed, but I will probably make new blocks for it. There are small versions of the shapes that would fit in the current chiseled preservation blocks though.
5. I went with the name I did because the symbol is more on top of the block rather than in the side of it, so chiseled didn't feel right. I kinda want to make more blocks though so I might just make chiseled ones separately.

Closing to make the new one since I don't think I can just move this to the new branch.
