Before Light Blocks

Description
A pack of building blocks, providing some usefull additions to construction, like non-intersecting panels and inbuilt lightstrips. Now all craftable from wooden workbench (where you make furniture and other blocks), since people asked.

Total of 10 blocks, material ID 11400-11410

Lightstrip [bl-lightstrip] - pipe-like solid block that emmits light, perfect for inbuilt lighting systems
Light Platform [bl-lightplatform] - same graphics as lightstrip, but platform collisions
Psionic Platform [bl-invisiplatform] - doesn't look nice all by itself, but becomes invisible when painted over, perfect for secret walkways or for making climbable background trees
Lightglass [bl-lightglass] - glowing glass with smooth surface
Frameless Lightglass [bl-lightglassframeless] - more glass, less borders
Anti-light Hull Panel [bl-hullblack] - solid-black sloped block inspired by the monolith
Color-ready Hull [bl-hullcolor \ bl-hullcolor2 \ bl-hullcolor3] - another sloped block that exists in 3 versions, all sharing the same graphics, for building overlaping hull elements
Phantasmal Visteria [bl-visteria] - a neat clump of gently glowing flowers, for when you are in the mood of creating an alien garden

Thanks for making them craftable!

@Lucretia Already said down in the comments, if you want to make a patch - go ahead, be my guest, I'm sure many people will thank you for it.

That's a nice idea but maybe an addon could be made as a separate mod that adds recipes for crafting tables for whoever wants them, what do you think?

@Syovere Not many people use Tabula Rasa, and I'm certainly not the one familiar with inner workings of this thing, so I'd rather stay away from it. If you want to make a patch - be my guest.

As a sort of in-between option, what about setting them up to have recipes in Tabula Rasa? That's specifically made for mod recipes, so it should minimize any risk of conflicts compared to sticking them on the wooden workbench and such.

As someone who both likes building and also plays with ~400 mods installed, I really appreciate the care you put into making this a non-issue for big modpacks - and making everything paintable. Great work here

@Morbid Curiosity What's the problem with them being admin-exclusive? Starbound isn't an MMO or some other game where console would be a prerogative of some group. You can turn on admin, spawn whatever you need, then turn it back off.
These tiles don't have any integration in other mods, you can't extract them in FU machines or smelt them for resourses, so spawning them in affects game balance in no way. Those are just pretty blocks to build.
The reason I don't want to integrate them into existing shops \ workstations is because any level of integration is a potential source of conflict with other mods, that affect the same shop \ workstation in some way. Granted, patch files exist, but these are not perfect, I had conflicts on this side before too.

If you don't like clogging the workbench, why not make them purchasable instead? Maybe from Frogg Furnishing?

BECAUSE THESE ARE FRAKKING GORGEOUS AND SHOULDN'T BE ADMIN-EXCLUSIVE :steamhappy:

This is really nice. Great idea with the overlapping hull panels too!
