Building with it

Light Blue Concrete is the sky colour of the set, used for pool floors, glass-heavy facades and anything meant to look cold. Its dye comes from a blue orchid, which only grows in swamps, or from mixing blue with white, and that second route is usually the faster one once you already keep both dyes around.

In practice

Hardened concrete does not fall like the powder does, so a light blue concrete wall can be built out over empty space while the powder cannot. That difference decides the build order: pour the powder where water reaches, then move the hardened blocks wherever they are needed.
