I think the walls look a bit boring.. I am not really a builder ^^ (Pipes are temporary)

Nice! And it looks like you will have train pick up deliveries. You mentioned you felt your walls felt a bit boring. I see you texturies and you endeavored to give your windows shape. What I might reccomend is accenting. Perhaps some slabs at the base of the windows to act as sills. And you can use some fence or wall pieces in the corners. The sills and wall/fences I would probably do in an accenting color instead of the granite. This will draw the eye to the shapes you are trying to create. You could also changed out the bottom block or two of the build to be a foundational material. It seems you have spruce up in your bay. So you could try some spruce windows sills. As a builder one thing I do is a ton of experimenting. Trying different blocks and see how the colors feel together. Don't be afraid to try something out. Focus on one window/wall section. Small section sampling is less daunting that trying to do the whole building just to find out you don't like it. Its looking great so far, thanks for sharing your project. Its always great to see others creativity at work. 🙂

Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

I actually just applied for the server, so maybe i can get some inspiration there soon ^^

The server has a live blue map so you actually can look around the server:

Im a function over form guy though, so as long as stuff works, im fine with it

[unreal plank]

i already checked that out, but the 3d renderings do take some time to load...

and the fun part of a server is showing others what you built, right? 😄

[modest mango]

indeed. And its important to lean into the aspects that you enjoy. You're building has some lovely detail and you should be quite proud of it.

[unreal plank]

does the application process take a long time?

[modest mango]

usually you hear back either way in one to two days. The adminstration team is in central european timezone. So its currently like midnight there. So it may not be looked at till tomorrow.

[unreal plank]

oh, its midnight for me too 😄

i hoped you guys were americans

figured i could play a bit like in an hour or so

I am located in north america, but I am just a discord member that tries to help answer questions I am not a moderator or administrator. My difference in time helps cover their inactive hours.

I live in the pacific northwest. Honestly, I am worse with asthetics. My main factory looks like a spruce shell.
