Description
Blue concrete powder is the loose form of concrete that you place and then harden with water to make solid blue concrete. Powder is granular and easy to move which means you can lay out big colourful designs and adjust them before committing to a final hardened surface. The blue powder reads clearly at distance which is perfect for murals and stadium sized colour work and because the recipe uses common materials it is efficient to craft large amounts for big builds. In survival mode you often place the powder in the correct pattern and then flood the area with water to set everything at once which saves time on large projects. Powder can also be used temporarily as a guide on the ground that you wash away if you change your layout plan before hardening. The blue tone is versatile for sea themed builds modern furniture and for strong outlines in pixel art. Overall blue concrete powder is a flexible pre final material that helps builders get placement right before making a permanent surface.
