so am i understanding loftar's post correct in that you can't have a tertiary stone unless you have a different primary and secondary stone? i can't have primary and secondary the same, and tertiary different if i used 200 of one and 50 of the other?

I feel like my laurel texture was lightened or something by mixing a tiny amount of other wood. check it out:

I mean you can see in other peoples posts that the bough texture can be a blend of tar/fir. If you compare above to what the inside of log looked like before, as shown in ants post:

I definitely felt screwed over. It was something like 70:10, 40:10 laurel:other

planewood defo seems best but rare, should have gone with larch.

It was effort getting at least 6 laurel logs for it, just to get a washed out pink :oops:

I use the bare minimum for tar sticks necessary houses and the color has never blended with any boughs. The tar texture itself just naturally has a green sheen to it at certain levels of lighting.

It didn't come out terrible, but wasn't how I wanted (mainly due to lack of resources and patience) I tried to use cinnabar as a tertiary but only had 24 stones and the nearest known source is an hour away. I also didn't have enough patience to make the rest of the tarsticks I needed and was hoping there would be some kind of blending, but I guess not. I was also hoping the sandstone would look more like it's paved texture.

24 cinnabar
126 schist
100 sandstone
100 Maplewood blocks
35 Sweetgum boards
25 Planewood boards
14 tarsticks
36 elm boughs

Blocks:
62 Alder
40 Sallow

Planks:
18 Walnut
9 Plum
none of the rest had more than 8

Thatch:
Fir

The timber house seems to be the reverse of the mansion. The planks make up the walls and trim, the blocks the borders. The sallow doesn't seem to show at all.

Another timber house.

Bay willow with more bay willow... and some fir. A work of art.

I tried to get some beech in the mix but I messed up and did it with blocks instead of boards, I think. The second biggest set of blocks doesn't create a secondary color on timber houses. I think that's what happened. Oh well, I like it as is. It's garish.

100% Juniper wood, 51% sandstone 49% porphory (confirmed stonesteads only have 1 stone type), fir boughs, tin handle.

Quite pretty I think.
