I created a small pack of different blocks, for those who, like me, prefer to build using the built-in Roblox Studio blocks.
This pack will be replenished if it is useful to someone.

Please DO NOT use unions if you dont want for your game to run at 4 fps. Unions have bad topology, tons of polygons and are hard to render. You should use meshes instead, good modeler can make really peak looking low poly meshes that are performant
100 FPS with 81 of these packs in view. I don’t think the FPS impact is that bad, especially when occlusion culling releases.
I use the FFlags to adjust occlusion culling and I can say it has a pretty great impact. Even without it, it isn’t that impactful on my fps for games with alot of unions
due to caching this is simply just 81 as the packs aren’t loading extra assets, but yes for high-tris projects unions should be avoided
in simple scenarios like this you rarely will ever notice a difference since it’s also an extremely simple operation
its still preferably to use meshes over unions
I would suggest using mesh parts instead.
Unions are better for this case; if you are using unions in a massive project (1000+ unions) then yes it is worth doing meshes instead. But if you are using about 20 unions you will be fine.
Its a good practice to use mesh parts and not unions
