    I found a mod: AzuWearAndTearPatches. Does what I want and I don't have to use ironwood, though I still might use some just for the look. I just didn't want to have them inside beams. They always clip through! I still have to massage -- gently. With a weapon. Gently....-- some pieces (like 26 and 45 degrees beams, which don't decay) to 'weather' them. That and the pieces under branches or tilted trees that count as roofing.

    Ok, it did half of what I said it would: The texture of each piece merges into a continuous one, but there are SOME break lines. Here's a pic: https://imgur.com/jmXtEee

    Left is the 2x2 piece and right is the 1x2. It's definitely better than just squares, though.

    I checked out VNEI. It'll make finding and using those pieces much more convenient! Thanks!

    And yeah, merging black marble pieces seems to connect and change the texture image to a unified one, as if it were one piece -- unlike stone pieces which just clip and keep their own texture image. I haven't tried, but you could probably build a whole wall of these and end up with a smooth marble finish, with no breaks in the texture...

    A-ha, smart thinking with that wood skeleton!

    Most of my discoveries, lately, have been just learning how to get the most out of the tools I have to speed up the building process, so I can focus more on ideas. In the last build I posted I pre-made some flooring, walls and roof pieces options, and then just copied them and put them in. Still had some small issues with snapping and gaps, but overall I saved so much time -- and wrist stress!

    I haven't really played with prefabs yet, except maybe the creepy statues and big trees from the swamp (for a horror-themed mansion that was gonna be a mini-dungeon -- which never came to be), but that would be a good direction to go in. Open up new possibilities.

    And I had checked out your Mausoleum before, I actually was wondering if those pieces were vanilla or a mod... I"d never seen them before.

    I'll go check out some videos and that mod you mentioned.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Update: Huh... I added some descriptions of what the images are... apparently it didn't update the first time. Just now, before adding them I got a 'failed to update description' message. Sorry :1
