Should be reported to Quark, as they are the one adding compatibility, not us.

yeah, I've encountered this bug where Chisel doesn't work with the base or polished blocks, but will work with the bricks blocks.

So there is a workaround, it just involves two extra steps: base > polished > bricks > Chisel
