Gold Swirl painted chocolate
Basic information[]

How to obtain[]
Gold Swirls can be crafted in your Crafting Menu (to be opened by pressing "q" as the default key), but only after the according crafting recipe has been unlocked. Like all other placeable items, you can also obtain Gold Swirls by buying a building kit for a Blueprint that contains Gold Swirls.

How to craft[]
To craft 3 Gold Swirls, you'll need:
- 2 Iron Bars made in the Forge from Iron Ore
- 1 Yellow Pigment made in the Processor from Yellow Flower or found in Obsidian Treasure Chests
- 1 Obsidian Rod made in the Processor from Obsidian
How to use[]
Gold Swirls can be placed into the game world for building purposes by putting (a stack of) them into your quickbar, selecting the according quickslot and clicking the right mouse button while pointing at a spot in the game world with your cursor.
Like all other building blocks, blocks of Gold Swirl can be rotated into all directions by pressing and holding R and then pointing the mouse cursor at the block and moving the mouse while holding the left mouse button.
The chosen rotation angle can be "locked" too by simply typing "r" while looking at an already rotated object or block; then all items of the same stack in the selected quickslot will automatically be facing the same direction when being placed.
Like most other placeable blocks, Gold Swirls can be painted, with the primary color influencing the color of the whole block. They are not affected by the secondary color. They can also be put into displays, where they will be shown at a reduced size.
You won't need any Power Cells (Mining Cell) to pick up Gold Swirls that have been placed into the game world. Of course you won't be able to pick up such objects on game worlds, on player claims or in Adventures where your Permission rank is not sufficient (mainly when you are merely a visitor), which can only be changed by the owner of the game world, claim owner or Adventure creator.
