Just the topic I need.
I"ve not made a chopped pentagram floor until now. I understand (and tested) that you do the following: place a 3x3 square of goza mats first, then raise 3 times, then target central mat with penta deed. Finally lower 2 times the goza mats under the sections you want "broken", then chop.
So far this seems to work, but beyond this I have a couple of questions.
What happens when I get to tiles I want to fill with penta centers in cases where these spots are next to walls and beside stairs?
Must I leave the goza mat underneath the central penta tile?
Directions (hope these still work):
Result (in my music room):
I used the rug edges to cover those spots, when I did pentagram floors.
Things to note:
1. It takes forever to do even a small floor. FOREVER.
2. Sometimes the pentagrams "sink" and vanish under the stone tiles of my castle, I have quite a few holes now *siiigh* I think it might be caused by stuff trying to spawn inside the house (orc camps etc), they'll pop up for a second then get shoved outside but the damage is done.
3. If you end up breaking a multi tile add on but haven't chopped it yet with an axe you can still save it - just lower all the pieces untill it is whole again. With most you can tell if you try to raise the pieces, once it has merged into being whole again you can no longer move the individual pieces. Once you chop a part of something, it will be lost.
4. If you don't want to do a whole floor, you can do a border and fill in the middle with borderless goza mats or carpet tile or whatever. Or just do runners, they weren't so bad.
