Buildable Islands Updated

Description
An expanded version of one of my favourite mods ever, updated for the latest version as the original by Cataclysm has been taken down. This mod allows you to place terrain tiles and matching armour onto your ships and buildings, so you can produce floating bunkers and disguised defences, take advantage of suspendium to reduce the weight of your landships, or add Laputan-style gardens to your ships. Warning: terrain is heavy, and reduces your speed by a lot, but you must always make sure your ship weighs more than 0!

This mod contains all of the original terrain tiles and armour with fixed sprites (the original mod looks for sprites in locations where they can't be found anymore) along with two new armour types with custom spritework inspired by the other terrain tiles, and 4 new variations for tree trunks I found in the game files. The original pre-made designs are included too, with tweaks to make them function correctly, (some of them had weird issues probably due to age) alongside a few new designs I added which can utilise the new armour. I also did my best to rewrite the text to match Cataclysm's style but without a few issues the original had, and I gave fragment maps to every tile so they look much better when destroyed, previously only some tiles had them.

Originally by Cataclysm!

Notes:
- Mudstone is just the 4 dirty stone textures, originally these were just variants of standard stone, but it made it hard to get a smooth stone surface, so I split the two into stone and mudstone modules.
- Negative weights cause broken behaviour, so try to avoid it. Very low weights for landships can also cause legs to glitch out, so be careful with suspendium.
- Most of the textures are ripped from v8.0, and all of them are still in the old terrain style so it might look a bit out of place today. I may update this to use the new terrain textures eventually, but for now at least the mod is available again.
- If you still have them, your old designs from the original mod should still work with this version!

It adds blocks based on the v8.0 terrain tiles to the airship, landship, and building editors, with functional statistics, so you can make ships inspired by floating islands for instance.

so how does this work? it sounds like it lets you build floating islands somehow but it doesnt actually seem to?

Legs already glitch out when you go too fast. I put a bunch of spider legs together and the thing just starts hovering across the battlefield at ~400kph.

Thank you! it's a really good mod. Cataclysm did some amazing work back in the day, and this is just built upon that. But I do hope you enjoy it as this has always been a favourite of mine.

This looks like a lot of fun, looking forward to trying it out!
