Three Steps to a Better Test Tile

  1. Choose your base. Pull a cone 6 base from the encyclopedia or build one from scratch.
  2. Balance the oxides. Watch the unity bars as you nudge feldspar, silica, and whiting.
  3. Generate a grid. Pick line or triaxial, set your step count, and print exact weights.
