concrete:plates
are pre-formed chunks that can be moved into place.concrete
is poured in-place, and is the correct value for sidewalks. I have never seen any actualconcrete:plates
in use in real life, but SC users are tagging it all the time. They should honestly make the difference more clear in the app.As for
lit
tags, I turned those off because I didn't want to overthink it.Yeah, I think the image for concrete plates in the app is from the wiki, and is kinda unclear because it's some rectangles of concrete. And I'm looking down and what I'm seeing is a series of rectangles made of concrete. I agree, though, with that in mind I feel like the app could benefit from some guidance there to say "concrete, perhaps with joints, such as for sidewalks" or "concrete plates, precast elsewhere and installed. Rarely used" or something. Just a bit of a nudge in the right direction.

I think the key feature of the picture on the wiki is that they have visible lift points near the corners.
In some of the pictures they have been filled, but in others they haven't.
