It's worth mentioning you don't get access to all the parts that are probably available in the main game in wood/stone

But if you wanna send a screenshot of what you have access to

[eager mirage]

I will when I log back on tomorrow

I’m thinking my game is bugged

[rapid sparrow]

Hopefully not!

That would be sad

[eager mirage]

Cause even looking up at robs photo I don’t have the wooden stairs or his windows either

[rapid sparrow]

The fiber windows or the wood windows or both?

[carmine barn]

100% believe this is buildable in game what do you think?

[eager mirage]

Wood windows

[rapid sparrow]

Hmm 🤔

[rapid sparrow]

I think so, minus colorful, but i sure hope paint is an option

[carmine barn]

thatd be cool, id love to try and almost re create Havana Cuba from Assassins creed black flag and id need lots of colors

yo what should i do about the roof on this house?

think this would work

[solid slate]

I just finished this character design!
What would you rate it from 1/10? 🙌🏻

[carmine barn]

20/10

thats actually really cool

[solid slate]

Thanks ❤️

[strong thorn]

Thank you!

Do you (or anyone here) know if we have a free building mode/creative mode? A free resource mode/setting?

[carmine barn]

ive actually been wondering that myself, im unsure if we do. i hope so, i havent looked yet, but if we do then thatd help with pre building stuff to get an idea of what i want my houses to look like

[raw kettle]

I made this meme today

[sonic carbon]

used the ship

[fallow vigil]

I don't need anymore, Wilson!

[nimble bay]

tested various stairs, turns out you can make a 2x2 stairwell with the outside stone corners

you cannot put a full block underneath, only a flat floor, or there wont be enough clearance

no jumping needed to ascend

[minor cipher]

You can also craft a backpack at the workstation, giving you more carry space!

[minor cipher]

100% doable. I'm currently using this as a reference point:

[minor cipher]

And done 😄

[echo skiff]

ahaha you are a better builder as yours is totaly straight and this old building looks a bit crooked XD

[minor cipher]

Haha, I do hope they add angled assets so we can make old, crooked houses

[echo skiff]

maybe digging the ground underneath will sack the house and make it crooked XD ahahaha

i mean 100-200 years of soil underneath a house moving makes them crooked right XD

the whole appartment building i live in is crooked with cracked walls and these buildings are like only 40 years old XD

[minor cipher]

Ah that explains it then... I've only just built this 😉

[echo skiff]

looks great rly

nice to see people rebuilding houses out of that time 17xx

[flint osprey]

great wall for my land is rising nicely. Port can alredy accept any shipment.

[echo skiff]

im currently collecting Stone and Wood... world hopping

[carmine barn]

yo what should the name of my startup town be? im making it for the build contest

[nimble bay]

star fort under construction

[rocky bolt]

Still not finished but its getting there. Trying to make sure its structurally sound!

[sweet nova]

9 second ! I am working in the control room of a large ship.

[tall beacon]

Love my under-the-stairs bed nook 😄

[nimble bay]

gotta celebrate the new name

[static locust]

this just gave me an offensive idea

[nimble bay]

bruh

[minor cipher]

80 hours in and I've just got my first Dodo head

Absolutely magical

[real bridge]

Took me forever to get that stupid dodo noggin

[wicked ginkgo]

We shot one of our music videos in the Windrose (Crosswind) playtest last year, and we're thinking of shooting another one of our songs in the demo because the character models are so cool...or should we wait for the full game for even more cool stuff to show off, before we shoot*** The Pirate Queen ***?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU5UXhSDmwE

[wooden sandal]

definitely interested to see how it would look at least in the early access!

[echo skiff]

sick dude

[shrewd oriole]

@wicked ginkgo reminds me of Albion from 1996

[torpid ermine]

A star fort! Please post more shots when finished.

[nimble bay]

will do, just one corner left

[coral monolith]

I Love this Demo♥️ 🇩🇪

[molten narwhal]

I see someone else is experiencing the pain of fort building

Mine is less Star shaped and more land-shaped,

[tall beacon]

Progress 😄

[forest locust]

usually not great at building (usually a bit nomadic when it comes to survival games) but I think I did alright.

[fallow trellis]

Bonfire

[dreamy forge]

a small warehouse and an outdoor kitchen

[rapid sparrow]

Awesome

[smoky mural]

Sweet Pirate Jeebuz...my little hovel is shameful compared to this stuff!

Laaaaaame. 🤣

[lost ocean]

Still fancier than the smattering a things on a beach I have...

[smoky mural]

Gimme some time to cook. I was in survival mode but now it's on

🤪

[fair swan]

sweet home tortuga 😛

[nimble bay]

If stone were free, I'd think about filling my fort walls properly so i can siege it with my ship. The layered construction is actually great at absorbing canons as their shots dont penetrate but destroy whatever segment they hit. Well, I guess if we ever get pvp, that's gonna be the way

[lethal ore]

my little town👋

[west cosmos]

I finally finished the Demo! And I wanted to share my overtaken Ruins Base with yall.
What a game, can't wait to get my fingers on the released game.

[robust cosmos]

This is the end of the story (demo)

[smoky mural]

All so much more aesthetic than my pirate igloo 😄

[midnight saddle]

The base is ready 😎 🤘

[stiff sail]

could yo try some reggaee style insted?

[smoky mural]

Huzzah and other pirate words!

[stiff sail]

Who said I cannot build my home over some ancient ruins?

[old valley]

That's actually very nice

[nimble bay]

full star fort

[static delta]

Build on a pier:

[old valley]

Building in progress

[wooden sandal]

nice use of the shipwreak

[exotic osprey]

What do orange coloured items mean in the build menu (as opposed to just the usual red & green)?

[old valley]

Thanks! Was sad it was gone after completing the quest so had to make a new world lol

[wooden sandal]

placeholder buildings. gotta collect a lot of resources so i can redo them

[wooden sandal]

for me, when i did the one to repair, one of the other shipwreaks was still available. cause it had a chest in it for me

[old valley]

Oh yeah that one also exists lol

[stark storm]

little rock base:

[tired vapor]

Anyone an idea how i could fix that hole in the head of the skull ? it's basically the highes point, and the stability-system wont let me use anything here. tried using pillars, but didn't make a difference here.

[red depot]

I MADE A CASTLE!! Complete with watch towers, stores, courtyard with fire, and of course a DUNGEON!!

[wicked ginkgo]

Interesting. Reggae would be really fun, I’ve never tried that style, not sure I could pull it off, but I like the suggestion.

[exotic osprey]

Anyone?

[red depot]

its structual integrety indication, just telling you where your limits are. Not sure if in the future it will have any other action or effect.

[exotic osprey]

Thanks, appreciate you replying. I was aware of the structural integrity mechanic but it shows if just trying to place a canopy on the dock. Was near to a friends bonfire (playing coop) so thought it might be something to do with that? Can still build the item, just highlighted in orange before placing as opposed to the usual red or green.

[red depot]

I think the idea is you can eventually mesh the two bases together

[civic tangle]

how’d you make this?

[nimble bay]

my first guess is AI

[civic tangle]

Yeah I’m wondering that

But I want to make sure

Accusing someone who actually made something, even it’s just a drawover of using ai

Don’t wanna do that

On closer look does look ai though

[smoky mural]

What does yellow blueprints indicate? Almost unstable?

[red depot]

Pretty much setting your limits yeah

[minor cipher]

Hah, what a great idea

[minor cipher]

I feel this. Think my main fortification has been through 16 iterations, this is it's current state (I've gone ham today after seeing the build content announcements)

[red depot]

I can dig it, check mine just above, I like a nice Castle

[minor cipher]

Hot damn, love that it's on top of a hill too

Also love the inside firepit/chimney. Cool asf

[minor cipher]

It'd be nice if the devs gave us a creator mode for the build comp to spawn in resources because goddamn, I'm cutting down trees in my sleep at this point

[red depot]

Yeah in the full game you can hire people to do that for you. So that will help with creatives like us who really enjoy building.

[barren pulsar]

Also in full game you can replant trees and such anywhere

[lusty python]

on my lighthouse roof lightning..

[red depot]

oooo nice, prob stealing this design haha

[gleaming bane]

My little Pirate Harbor:

[brittle geode]

Good evening, here is my first build on the game; the interior is not furnished because I haven't progressed in the game, I'm still on the "tutorial quest" to go mine copper ^^.

[icy thistle]

noone?

[icy thistle]

mybe internally use roofs to get to the top as might be aa shorter path then the top might allow a floor

[old valley]

Nice, but you should go get some copper tools!

[barren pulsar]

Not sure who, but I did say that you can’t terraform where ancient ruins are.

[brittle geode]

Yes, I know; but I felt like building myself a house right away and got a little carried away xD

[old valley]

Know the feeling lol

[stark harness]

the cool thing about the base building means you can build anything…. how ever…. you can build anything …. >:3 german music starts to play in the background

[minor cipher]

I've been running with the idea of a 16th century port town, time to build the town hall and gallows

Still very much a WIP

[wooden sandal]

[wooden sandal]

😮

[wicked galleon]

@minor cipher how are you able to build glass windows?

[minor cipher]

The only window with visible glass is the small window

[wicked galleon]

Ah. For some reason I tried that one and didnt notice the glass, just seemed empty. I’ll take another look

[red depot]

Just realized that my castle is so big and up so high I can see it from the first Island and my first base 😅

[void oracle]

What I'd give for a proper photomode rn

[hybrid valley]

Wow, looking at all these crazy builds in here is really depressing lol, I was thinking about uploading my dinky little shack, but lord what chance would I stand lmao

[red depot]

I was thinking the same hting

[hybrid valley]

yea even just a first person mode with also a hud off mode would be 👌🏻

[barren pulsar]

Currently covering this up. Trying to build a fort on this site.

[red depot]

haha the teriforming is fatastic for this

[barren pulsar]

Pretty much trying to do a large fort on a hill like the Port Royal one, with a dock/town leading off to the west

Did get a nice cover for this though

[minor cipher]

I can't wait for NPC's to collect resources for me, the amount of time I've spent cutting down trees is soul destroying

[crisp dome]

Did you try to toggle off the HUD with "/"?

[torpid ermine]

Oh thank you for the info on how to turn off the UI.

[high gazelle]

build it getting larger. tower at five stories now. Pain playing solo and collect, but fun

[hybrid valley]

no I didnt know this was a thing

[junior sand]

Hey guys, I wonder... I see this chest on the map, as if there was something to loot, but I looked all around and even dug, but found nothing... Is it a bug, or do I just need to start a quest or something? (I haven't started any quest since I arrived on the island, so I wonder...)

Oops, maybe I should've posted this in General-

[carmine barn]

im having the same issue

[idle sable]

If it hasnt been answered yet, its a buried treasure. read the note at the camp for its location.

[minor cipher]

Look for a tree/stump with a red cloth tied around it. I dug about 80% of the way around the tree and gave up, thinking it was a bug. Came back to it a second time on another play, continued digging and there it was.

[echo crown]

man i love this games building

[random egret]

so are we unlocking this stuff i dont have some of these building pieces

[icy thistle]

Yeah follow the questline as building unlocks are lootable

[rapid sparrow]

So it's kinda wild that you can see the giant bridge from another island

[fleet spear]

Yall are over here making these massive castles and beautiful creations for bases but can we take a moment to appreciate the base we all used while collecting those resources? (At least mine.)

[minor cipher]

Ahh the OG ❤️

I've spent most the day putting x3 new buildings up, extending the canal, rebuilding the castle walls and rebuilding a tower. Obsession is not even the word. Plan to extend up the hill next

[carmine barn]

i bet the amount of stone you had to grind is astronomical, most my place is nothing but wood and 1 house takes 200-400+ wood

[fleet mantle]

Just out of curiosity, would you guys consider duping building mats to be cheating or unfair to others?

[carmine barn]

no i wouldnt consider it cheating or unfair. its a solo co-op

i dont use dupes but i dont think its unfair

[fleet mantle]

Ok well, it's very very easy to dupe your inventory in this game.

[carmine barn]

i wish i knew that sooner cause i deforested one of my islands lol its baren grass now

[fleet mantle]

You can also create new worlds and farm them and transfer the wood / stone over in your ship's hull and your inventory

People are doing that quite a bit from what I understand

[carmine barn]

yeah i just been fast travelling back and forth most my houses are wood and ive cut down probably a 3rd of the trees on this island

[fleet mantle]

@minor cipher is your name related to a certain text editor?

[carmine barn]

the name Vim reminds me of Vim cola from fallout

[spring pivot]

my addition to this channel

[pearl copper]

Coastal castle

[limber fog]

Nice

[fleet mantle]

LOL did you trap the doctor in a cage?

[pearl copper]

asked him to sit down then close the last wall

[torpid ermine]

awsome

[shy pelican]

my addition to this channel

[quaint wharf]

I’m constantly shock by the builds some of yall can do. Like where are you getting the materials and how much of the jungle is gone

[spring pivot]

I think thats why they take picture facing the sea

[quaint wharf]

Ha true!

[lapis berry]

Good attempt... To make me feel sorry! )))

[surreal rock]

For those building on water, how do you go about reclaiming your wood/fiber if you mess up and want to destroy the project. It be at the bottom of the ocean, yar

amazing builds.

[outer kite]

[modern tartan]

2 mnts to get there up to see other islands

[outer kite]

Tell me how not to dupe so I don’t accidentally do it …

[surreal rock]

Well, guess I'll be forever in the blind as to how

[fleet mantle]

I'm not gonna say in this channel but if you want to know how just DM me

[molten narwhal]

idk how I feel about the Cathuluey influence

[fair swan]

hi

join to me who wish 🙂

[minor cipher]

To be honest, the stone wasn't too bad - I'd just hit all of the mines once and and it'd give me enough rock to build for a couple of days. I find no matter how much wood I have, I'm going backwards and forwards multiple times in a session to get more

[daring plank]

A new begining...

[echo skiff]

the Bay is starting to take shape super stoked about the building in this game

[minor cipher]

Haha no unfortunately not. Just a name that's been with me for years

[rocky bolt]

I just can't stop building!!! The more I build the more ideas I have and the more I want to build. This game has taken over my life and I love it. (Interior photos soon)

[proven plaza]

i'm lightyears behind all of you , but well , trying my best . making a few buildings alongside the pier plus a structure more inland , far from finished.

sidenote: leaving torches underwater creates beautiful effects at nigiht

[deft hearth]

Made a lighthouse, Bonfire + a ton of candles, going up there makes the GPU go BRRR 😄

[hot path]

you can farm in one map and build in the other

[hot path]

how do you do that, i notice that fires stop lighting up after they are some distance away from you

[proven plaza]

that distance is still safe

check your options perhaps ?

[deft hearth]

this is about as far as I can see the lights, if I go further away they no longer light up

[river portal]

How do you make a circular building if there are no round shape building stuctures?

[proven plaza]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJWGpxwXhsI

[proven plaza]

there you go 😉

[deft hearth]

Small square walls*, set at 30° per 2 walls

[river portal]

thank you ill check it

[barren sundial]

watch a few satisfactory building tutorials to get A LOT of building tricks that work with this game.

[river portal]

indoor cooking furnace 😜

[nimble bay]

built a little chapel in my fort

[river portal]

sweet

[dreamy arch]

My Port Royal 🙂

[peak bane]

Just a lil cinematic shot i got

[balmy garnet]

so all these building will be gone in release ?

this is so disapointing

i dont see any reason to engage myself

[dreamy arch]

Then you must not be a builder. 🙂

You take pictures of your work and start all over again and again and again lol

[balmy garnet]

its just waste of time right now if you data not save, im a builder and if i start something it would engage myself into week of work, waiting release, but i dont understand why people keep building for nothing

[weary merlin]

I built a dive pad higher up to get mine, I was not able to get all of it but recovered most

[peak bane]

to test the limits, get ideas for what to build in full release, or even just have fun

like me and a friend have started on a massive port using the big bay on the one island

[dreamy arch]

Made my build into a little video lol

[proven plaza]

Then maybe you’re not building for fun usually . We’re months away from release, and I personally don’t see where the drama is about it .

In most building games — even ones like Conan Exiles — when servers had to be wiped, people didn’t usually make a huge issue out of it. It’s normal for that to happen from time to time. So if it happens once, I really don’t see it as something major.
Currently, the game is there to test things, so to me it’s quite logical that things don’t stay.
Dunno i'm shocked by the " waste of time " i think you are missing the point .

[balmy garnet]

nah bro, i know how it work, and its the best way to get demotivated

[near lake]

The process is the fun part for a lot.

And, well, we have a demo available, morning more. It's literally free content right now

Like, I don't judge you for your way of building, but you have to see that at the same time, others build and enjoy things differently

[balmy garnet]

im waiting release, ther is no reason to build for now, i just dont understand peoples that start massive project for nothing sorry

[near lake]

A part of why I love a lot of it, is because it won't last.

I got the memory that I did it with my friends and in the end, it's okay if you think for yourself that there's no reason for it.

Just, you know.. let the others have their fun ;)

[balmy garnet]

that just heart breaking fun

we should have a way to keep build

[near lake]

The amount of Minecraft, Starbound and other survival game worlds I've deleted over the years really do not matter, as long as if you had fun during its palytime

its the same with art really

besides that though, it does have a reason to do it now. You get aquainted with the building mechanics, what works and what doesn't.
People have already built increadible builds despite it being a very early Demo and having an otherwise very limited selection of build materials

That, paired with Feedback to the Devs is a huge help for the development process as well

[proven plaza]

I truly disagree, but we’re all entitled to our opinions. I guess you get discouraged easily.

I’m in my forties, and I’ve played games in Early Access, alpha, and beta stages. There’s nothing unusual about progress being wiped afterward (we did not even get upset when first testing building in star wars galaxies).
At least you learn the mechanics and can jump straight into having fun when the full release comes.

What’s the point of starting the finished game with a huge castle already built, fully stocked, and nothing left to discover? That, to me, wouldn’t make any sense at all.

[near lake]

hells I've played DayZ servers with weekly wipes

[proven plaza]

yeah correct

[flint osprey]

Just to make all clear, all cool looking builds will be demolished with only 1 shot from your cannons. In future pvp to your base block only takes 1 hit and it's gone. and range to attack from ship is about 160m.

[hardy ermine]

Whenever I start a new game, I invariably make mistakes, so playing the demo is a testing ground for me. Not only does it gives a me feel for the game, learning the mechanics and so forth; but building a pirate village has been a pleasant distraction. Furthermore, it gives me a mental blueprint for what I will want to build after launch and how to do it, so I don't mind it's temporary. Saves me from having to wipe my mistakes.

[old valley]

What pvp 🤣

[proven plaza]

minus we don't have pvp .

[near lake]

Isn't it marketed as PvE with Co-op?

[near lake]

yeah exactly

[inland harbor]

What pvp aint gonna come in demo

[proven plaza]

it is . the pvp thing is just a wishful thinking for some.

[inland harbor]

and saves don`t transfer

[flint osprey]

you sure ? I am not informed thats why I posted about pvp situation.

[near lake]

so far haven't heard anything about PvP

and even if, we're early in the demo, enough time to fix stuff

[proven plaza]

currently no plans for pvp (luckily) sea of thieves was much more fun as a coop pve game actually .

[near lake]

true

[flint osprey]

alright but this is how it works now. Hope balance will be there when PVP might come in game.

[near lake]

Only time will tell really

[inland harbor]

if pvp comes it would probably only be ship to ship at a dedicated section like at the playtests as that was a pvp sea world with no islands

[near lake]

I hope they don't pull a Dune 👀

[proven plaza]

I sincerely hope that’s not the case. Most people anticipating this game were attracted to it specifically for its co-op and PvE focus.
Also, a PvP environment doesn’t require the same resources, nor does it have the same constraints.

[near lake]

I miss a good PvE/Co-op game

and especially miss a good pirate game :D

[inland harbor]

the pvp everyone is asking for would just ruin the game as a (optional) dedicated server could work but only if it doesn`t add pvp only items

[verbal horizon]

Not true as at first the game was originally intended to have PvP also

[inland harbor]

"optional pvp btw"

[flint osprey]

What about a large map zone where waters are dangerous and there is pvp active land with high loot or just waters to make people challenge and test there ship power in this game.

[verbal horizon]

Still PVP

[proven plaza]

and then it became windrose and focused solely on coop and pve , not incorrect . this aint crosswinds anymore.

[proven plaza]

you're describing sea of thieves there almost ..

[inland harbor]

yea outside the main game with no gains exept being able to sink someone else

[flint osprey]

I see never played it

[tall beacon]

building a little square at the back of the harbor storage. Water well, tavern and in the first picture my character is standing on top of what's going to become the barracks 😄

[near lake]

Sick!

[tall beacon]

🤔 will probably dismantle the tower on the right and build it into a proper lighthouse.

[near lake]

how're yall getting the amount of resources? Not yet tried building anything major and I've not seen trees respawn so far?

[old valley]

Deforestation

[verbal horizon]

The only reason they moved away from PvP is due to the technical challenges of running an MMO with such a small team, not because people asked for PvE only. I’m sure at some point, when the game grows, the team will grow and PVP will be added.

[tall beacon]

I built my base right next to a mine and I'm chopping wood on a different area so my surroundings stay green XD

[old valley]

You can make a new world and get resources there, your inventory carries over

[near lake]

ohhh

that's good to know

the ships too?

[proven plaza]

deforestation , inter-dimensional travel also

[old valley]

Yep

[inland harbor]

yea so still it was optional

[near lake]

damn, I can't positively swear

my bad mods

[proven plaza]

could someone be kind enough to show me where your WORKING " / " key is to hide the HUD ? not working for me , at all .

[near lake]

might be different keybinds on diffferent keyboards

[inland harbor]

what settings is your kb on pc?

[proven plaza]

exactly , that's why i'd like to see where it's on theirs

qwerty , spanish layout , but japanese as country XD

for the the / is right net to the block num. but that's not working

[inland harbor]

try -

[proven plaza]

nope

[inland harbor]

try the one left of right shift

[proven plaza]

same

i ahvne't tried the baseball bat technique yet

[inland harbor]

try pressing everything that isn`t a number or letter

[proven plaza]

did ...

me pissed now..

[inland harbor]

they are already reworking the keybinds to include changing everything to your preffered liking

prob gonna take a while

[proven plaza]

I’ll wait. It’s not like I was going to stop playing just because I have to restart everything.

[timid ermine]

hope everyone's builds are going well! I ran out of resource so I'm back to raiding worlds again haha

[timid ermine]

Building now helps you learn the system, the camera angles, and helps you become a faster more effective builder later. Then again, I play alot of ARK so I'm used to having to rebuild EVERYTHING lol

[nimble bay]

finally moved in, probably done for the moment

[meager timber]

how did you hide HUD

[proven plaza]

apparently "/"

for me it doesn't work though

[crisp dome]

Is there anyone willing to trade? I will give ye wood for stone. DM me to discuss details.

[proven plaza]

mmmmh difficult bargain , stone gets depleted very fast

[crisp dome]

But stones grow back in caves...

And if ye offer quantity ye can negotiate about exchange rate. 😏

[rapid sparrow]

Toit like a toiger

[molten narwhal]

I think we built our fort in the same place

[misty timber]

Still working on mine. Here is my inspiration, being from Florida.

[verbal horizon]

I will be waiting until we get more building items before I go crazy with builds

[rapid sparrow]

Yeah, im mostly just testing the limits so I can create a master plan on EA release

[rapid sparrow]

Fellow floridian! The progress looks awesome so far

[verbal horizon]

Could be a problem if we have bigger ships with bigger masts

[autumn venture]

https://tenor.com/view/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-black-flag-gif-3863983

[limber garnet]

Startings are always messy

[rapid sparrow]

Thats what someone else was saying too. I can go higher still, but it's not necessary for the ketch's current height and i'm hoping that adding the exterior walls will lend itself to better stability continue building upwards.

Though this isn't able to account for if they offer alternative foundation options too

[verbal horizon]

Hahaha, I'm sure there will plenty of other options, after seeing some older videos

[rapid sparrow]

Yeah, I'm super excited for the stucco/clay roofing

[verbal horizon]

Reminds me of building in ATLAS, when we blocked in our ships

[rapid sparrow]

lol

I barely played Atlas due to being unable to find habitable land and I played really early on when the giant crocs were basically speed boats in the water and you couldn't outrun them

but I did sink a few hundred hours into ARK

my atoms are vibrating waiting for the EA date to be released

[sand sleet]

Game is great!

[rapid sparrow]

We had some great fun hunting down this clan, they had a fully master craft gally, We broke in and sank it with fire arrows 🙈 😂

[rapid sparrow]

Couldn't craft a fire-proof vessel

[verbal horizon]

They abused everything, So they had it coming hahaha

[short willow]

I just finished my crooked lighthouse, and it's so tall that I can have a bonfire at the top, and at the bottom of the house I didn't even know that they had limits on the height

[rigid totem]

this is probably the final version of my town

[old valley]

Looking at everyone's builds gives me so many new ideas to add to my own world. I will never be finished 😆

[rigid totem]

my funder/helper with it (I payed him with the 2nd ship)

[tidal vapor]

Im just going to leave this here, without explanation.

[quaint wharf]

I love star forts!

[crisp dome]

Let me know when someone opens a tavern. We will have soooo many forts and lighthouses... but none of them serves good food and ale. 😂

[tall beacon]

more progress 😚 love the demo

[mellow parrot]

I just found out about the build competition 10 minutes ago. Figured i'd share this. I built this 5 or so days ago. there's also a long form on the channel. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TuoAYHLotV0

[hardy ermine]

I built a windmill for a farm, but can't get the dome lined up right. Reverse triangles wont snap...any ideas?

[fringe wedge]

love the light tower

[frail fern]

not done yet.. but guess it's easy to see were i'm going with this lol xD

[frail fern]

holy fuuu thats nice!

[slender crown]

Completed the Boars Head, anyone fancy a drink 🤣

[frail fern]

i steal the idea with the outside tables. :o

[autumn venture]

Tavern WIP

I stalled on quest progression, so I'll likely redo it all with the new building mats.

[timid ermine]

lol we are going to have a stone based economy

stone is more precious than gold atm

[autumn venture]

I mean, the stone regenerates in the mines. Had so much, I got to build a stone cellar and half of the 1st floor walls with it.

• copper

[old valley]

WIP

[leaden sleet]

Am I just dumb or is there no way to cover these holes properly?

[crisp dome]

Stick the angled wall pieces to the roof and fill up the holes in the wall with square parts.

[leaden sleet]

and now I feel dumb for not realizing that myself

thanks

[crisp dome]

I'm sorry! 😂

[violet temple]

Life's hard as a pirate, sometimes you just got a sit and chill for a minute LOL

[modern tartan]

my building is the best i will share when i finish it the thing needs stones as hell

[misty timber]

My toon has thrown his back out and I have developed carpal tunnel mouse clicking with all this digging and flattening.

[acoustic shoal]

Turn off snapping in building option "P" on keyboard. thats what did it for me, very finicky but it works. Combo of triangles and lots of overlapping squares.

[acoustic shoal]

every copper mine has abundance of stone, it respawns over time. Theres three isles. Easy to clear the first two then the last is respawned. do a roundtrip fill up your ship and own inventory.

Or make a new world same character harvest the strone at the starting spot. Its about 300 rince and repeat

Forgive the bad picture, but as a true dutch man we gotta build the waterworks. Bottomleft. Dug a Canal, hours of digging. Dug a moat, more hours of digging. Built a traditional Sluice-gate to actually fill said moat!

Welcome to Jaeger Town.

https://tenor.com/view/gekoloniseerd-voc-nederland-kolonisatie-verenigde-oostindische-compagnie-gif-13241235

[acoustic shoal]

Working on redefining coastlines. I was sad the minimap coastline didnt change haha.

The fact that when I actually dug the canal from the beach after a late night idea, and the water actually flowed in had me so excited!

And have to add the Sloped StarFortress walls facing the coast, to fend of those Naval Cannon bombardments.

Only thing I was missing was decorative/functional cannons.

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-des-caraibes-pirates-of-the-caribbean-canon-preparation-drapeau-gif-19449536

[old valley]

Pretty cool that works, might try something later

[acoustic shoal]

Its ALOT of digging though.... tedious work....

[hardy sparrow]

how did i miss creative mode, where to find / how to activate?
..dont say, you farmed the mats, and took the patience to align what didn't want to snap, for all of that...

[acoustic shoal]

Yes I did. hahaha.

Cost me a few nights of proper sleep...

[acoustic shoal]

@hardy sparrow here is how I farmed it.

Also no creative mode, just built in the normal demo mode.

[hardy sparrow]

wow...quite...some...time...investment 😉
i mean, i also like that game....but extreme experiments like that...for free...
well, guess thats the main reason why ealy access was invented... ^^

[acoustic shoal]

And deforesting half an Island

When I was done, the competition was anounced. So was WELP okay send in!

Secretly hoping to be able to load my save into the actual game when its out hahaha.

[hardy sparrow]

i know what you mean....even did experiments, if trees respawn, if stump stay...Valheim infected and such ^^

but,, learned my lesson...wont invest that much time again for demo...
yet, respect...nice results for your experiment!

[acoustic shoal]

yeah Hyperfixation of a really promising game. Had the same thought.. MHMm thats alot of time for a demo... But then HUZZAH Contest!

[crisp dome]

Omg, how many hours was that? 😳

[acoustic shoal]

Yeah gotta respect the digging...

[hardy sparrow]

i am up for any build competition, once the snap options are less bugged..
we have options for 90°, 45°, 30°, and 15°...but only 90° snaps halfway properly...
i can build 90° nice stuff, but well...really cool, afoords more flexibility, and currently...too much of a time effort

hope EA, fixes a lot...anticipating it !!!

[acoustic shoal]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/3041230?snr=2_9_100000_

then join!

The howto is in there, and youre already in the discord!

I cant wait to see what other participants cook up!

[hardy sparrow]

not during demo phase... i am a builder, like it most in survials...
but not when feeling like a boxer, with 1 hand tied behind the back...
demo showed a lot potential, but also a lot logical lacks/bugs...
likle i said, if only 90° snaps properly, and i have to align 45°/30°/15° manually in height and angle, then screw it...
i like building, but i hat wasting time...compensating inapropriate alignment algorithm 😉
know the game foundation? they have a similar issue, every monument parts height, being calculated from actualy terrain coords?...

[acoustic shoal]

Even if we dont win anything, just showing off my builds is fun! Something I always missed with fallout builds etc. The option to show it off.

Never heard of that game.

[hardy sparrow]

just was an example, there are many more like that...farm materials for building...
its about proper programmed snapping to aligned parts, align their height and...nvm...
this game has potential, but i am not getting paid for testing, so...yea..have fun with the demo contest, but i'm out 😉
might post some screens here, when real creative mode comes out...i want my own Tortuga...
I'm back after EA, when maybe one day that contest rises ^^

[acoustic shoal]

yeah cant wait to see what you cook up.

And between the building we go plunderrrrr with friends and falsely sing shanties!

[dim adder]

Strange assortment of things they give us. No more than a stone axe or thatch roof. But they give us 2 types of wood wall and stone wall etc lol. No farming bit at all but give us seeds. tokens to collect but nobody to hand them to 😛 Trolling us with wanting more haha. The game already speaks for itself. Can't wait for release.

[acoustic shoal]

Time I go kolonize more sstuff the dutch way!

[acoustic shoal]

No finish the demo, you can get new olans on the other two islands.

[hardy sparrow]

well, i cooked copies of the X-Men Mansion in other games like ARK:SE or Conan Exiles...
i am not without talent....but, not wasting time to compensate engines/coding fails 😉

[acoustic shoal]

There is more stone walls, and foundations even furniture.

[dim adder]

I did, all things ticked off... Did I miss something?

[acoustic shoal]

I have multiple types of wooden and stone walls.

[dim adder]

I'll go have another wander around 🙂

[acoustic shoal]

Check the blackbeard camps

and the ruins.

[dim adder]

but no more than thatch roof or stone axe right? I hae stone walls etc.

[acoustic shoal]

yeah only thatch roof. and Copper tools actually.

[dim adder]

I spent too much time building and not explored thoroughly enough then haha. Back to it I go!

[acoustic shoal]

I can make blue weapons which you can upgrade to purp with said copper and special rare ingots you can find.

[dim adder]

they give lots of weapons yes

I like the bleed rapier. You can cheese the hogs with overturned trees too then just jab em

[acoustic shoal]

yeah that spread dot is insane.

[dim adder]

probs nerfed for release though, its a bit silly haha. but with the spec tree i bet a good crit bleed build wil be possible

[acoustic shoal]

@dim adder

[dim adder]

I have all those bits yes. I meant that they only give you a thatch roof. But give you all the types of wall. Give you seeds but farming is empty etc.

[dim adder]

annoying to not have the same roof type as the wall type 🙂

[acoustic shoal]

true. I use floors for roofing 🙂

in many places.

[dim adder]

yes as i said, interesting assortment of bits. I'd just like to have stone roof and wood roof to go with wood and stone wall lol 🙂

[acoustic shoal]

Still stops the rain 🙂

[dim adder]

🙂

[acoustic shoal]

floors as roof.

Somewhere else I use the planks too.

And you can use the ramps, as sloped wooden roofing.

Sluice-Gate, canal and moat. And an entire man-made/dugout bay! complete with sandbank to break the waves. #Dutchwaterworks.

Next project is one big enough to fit the ship.

Lets keep out that Ocean.

the water physics are awesome.

[hardy sparrow]

that indeed...UE5...also like the light effects...UE4 always had lights shine through walls

[rare hemlock]

Only a buildingconcept idea - a pirate harbor tavern
1st floor the tavern
2nd and 3rd floor bedrooms (I haven't furnished the bedrooms yet)

[analog parcel]

Hopefully good tavern with every room filled it took a while 😅

[hardy sparrow]

nice idea, how to re-use that wreck 😄

[timid ermine]

It finally stopped after I was able to pick up a few stacks xD

[acoustic shoal]

To me its a frozen frame with audio lol

[timid ermine]

lol

[hardy sparrow]

wtf? ^^

[old valley]

Any tips to prevent 'structure is unstable'?

[acoustic shoal]

Nice reusing that wreck. I used the starting spot cellar/hidden room in my build 🙂

[timid ermine]

place more foundations or use beams ❤️

[acoustic shoal]

More pillars. and foundations.

[old valley]

Uff

[acoustic shoal]

Maybe it has to do with the diagonal stonewalls.

[timid ermine]

needs more structure at the base of the build. Remove floor tile and start slapping pillars down

[acoustic shoal]

Also that.

[timid ermine]

if you angle the wood beams and adhere them to your structure that will also work 😄

also makes your towers look super cool

[acoustic shoal]

Mostly have to build pillars from the bottom-up. Not downwards.

[old valley]

I'll extend the pillars up more hopefully that'll do it

[acoustic shoal]

You can hide them inside the walls too

[timid ermine]

like dis

[acoustic shoal]

proper battlements love it.

Now we need some murder holes.

[timid ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/yess-yes-gif-25420589

[acoustic shoal]

Maybe you can make/leave some gaps inbetween the wall and the floor of that overlapping part. To simulate em...

Now you give me ideas, but im done building for today/tnight.

Tomorrow... MEGA Sluice/afsluitdijk.
And murderholes....

But thts gonna have me farm anotehr 3k stone...

[old valley]

I hope I can finish my build for the contest, I don't think I have time for interior 😅

[fleet mantle]

Download the video and play it with VLC

[timid ermine]

Yeah....not looking forward to the next resource trip

[acoustic shoal]

you have till the 11th of march.

Submission phase: Feb 26 – Mar 11

Voting phase: Mar 12 – Mar 14

Winners announced: Mar 16

[timid ermine]

You got this! Hardest part is collecting the resource

[old valley]

Big plans

[fleet mantle]

Would you guys consider duping building mats cheating?

Because I found a way to do that

[acoustic shoal]

Proper wharf.

[acoustic shoal]

hey if you do it for your own build who cares. But if you do it for contest not sure if devs will allow.

[fleet mantle]

Yeah that's why I was asking, do you think it would be a competitive advantage for the contest

An unfair one

[acoustic shoal]

Ask one of the devs.

[fleet mantle]

I'm personally not going to enter the contest because I lack the drive and OCD 😛

But I'm loving the work I'm seeing you guys do, it's amazing

I just figured I might be able to save you some grinding time, might help you be able to create, but I don't want to step on any toes

[timid ermine]

appreciate the thought @fleet mantle ❤️

[acoustic shoal]

I figured how to build where it says you should not be able to due to point of interest :D. Only thing tht doesnt work is a bed.

[fleet mantle]

I know not everybody has the free time to spend hours chopping down trees lol

[lapis tiger]

maybe enter a bug report, because if it makes it in the final version of the game it could be experience breaking...

[fleet mantle]

Oh there's no way my method will make it into early access

And I'm sure the devs are 100% aware that it's possible

[lapis tiger]

just to be sure

[acoustic shoal]

is it the put it in storage, destroy the container one?

[fleet mantle]

Nope, it's not a bug or exploit of any kind

It's literally copying and pasting files.

[acoustic shoal]

ohhhh

yeah das naughty.

aka savescummin

[fleet mantle]

Which is how I know it's not gonna make it into early access

Exactly

[acoustic shoal]

Creative tho.

[hardy sparrow]

basically, thats what 'creative' is about...
sad there is no legit way yet, it seems ^^

[tall beacon]

square almost done!

[quick marlin]

Looks like a lot of work

[timid ermine]

gorgeous

[wicked ginkgo]

The Winking Crow Tavern - complete with stage for the resident bard 🎸

[timid ermine]

the 45 degree stick is my emotional support building piece

[limber pewter]

Me and my bud just started yesterday but today finally messing around with the building. So far this has been REALLY fun! I am not a very creative person but im trying to expand on that! Hopefully more to come in the future!

[timid ermine]

my favorite thing is being able to make my own building pieces. Really love designing railings for my staircases

man I love making happy shapes xD

[trail solar]

sO.....is there only one roof type?

[timid ermine]

yes, but you can get cheeky and use wooden flooring as roof pieces, perhaps ramps for angled wooden roofs

[trail solar]

That stage is EVERYTHING

[trail solar]

https://tenor.com/view/genius-excited-beard-bear-gif-4242197970653209363

[timid ermine]

and don't over look ye humble stick, you can get real crazy with geometric patterns with those lil guys

there are stone blocks too, but be aware they are little cubes so they will take up more space than a flat piece. Also there is angled roof pieces you might be able to tease into something

[wicked ginkgo]

What ever game we go into we always build a Tavern to perform in, and I do like a cosy stage to sing from. I really enjoyed the build in this demo, it's a joy.

[modern tartan]

secret room in the cave

just some rocks and copper

[proven plaza]

it's what i had been done since the beginning , bad habit from conan exiles xD

[timid ermine]

saaaame!!

[harsh dock]

It's not nearly as good as everyone else's on here, but it's a start.

[proven plaza]

and same results really , floors are quite decent ceilings . plus i sk at making rooftops.

[strong thorn]

Ok, I'm just gonna ask... Anyone want to donate stone to my build? I would gladly trade, as well!

lol

[gritty kraken]

As musicians (The Winking Crow), I think we kind of have this dream of VOIP somehow in the game and busking at Tortuga where anyone can visit.

[timid ermine]

that looks great! Love your lighthouse 😄

we NEED hurdy gurdys

[harsh dock]

Also, this happens every time i login, and it's both hilarious and frightening at the same time.

[timid ermine]

one of the few things I miss from SoT was jamming out with different instruments

[proven plaza]

yes

[past musk]

Omg the stage was such a brilliant idea

[timid ermine]

@wicked ginkgo you should suggest adding instruments in feedback 😄

[proven plaza]

although , not the same , i know , but whjile streaming i use the background music of the curse of monkey island . fits it perfectly

[timid ermine]

my partner has gone crazy with the shovel, he is now grading the whole island we're working on

he's already started building infrastructure xD

[proven plaza]

there's no way i show my shthole of place i'm making seeing what you guys are makin g...

[proven plaza]

i though the bottom was a bit frustraing , across areas .

[timid ermine]

To be fair, I'm impressed at how long it took him before he started building roads xD

oh he is raising everything rather than flattening, I should not have left him unsupervised

[wicked ginkgo]

I'd love that. I always play live in game, just me and the guitar in a tavern, and I really love it if the game has a guitar or similar emote, so that it matches what I'm singing and playing. Conan, FiveM and Atlas (darkside modded server) have the best ones I've used yet

[proven plaza]

gradd underneath , not flat , and depends also if inland or seabed

[gritty kraken]

We also did a lot in Valheim❤️

@proven plaza What you are doing there with terraforming looks really interesting.

[harsh dock]

@proven plaza how did you get purple weapons?

[proven plaza]

upgrade

[proven plaza]

i was experiencing with how terrain reacts , limations of terrain and such . the oen thing i can recomend though , do use torches in the water , the light effects are beautiful

where i was in the first picture is underneath the small bridge you can see on the top of the picture.

[timid ermine]

man I love building in this game, you always find something new

[proven plaza]

i’m light-years behind what you guys can create. Right now, I’m mostly experimenting with lighting and building small diorama-style areas. My pier is starting to look like a small Greek or Spanish fishing village. I’m just getting lazy when it comes to gathering resources.

[pastel stream]

I think moving my bonfire and then recalling the boat fixed this but mine was doing the same

[proven plaza]

Very true. My inspiration comes slowly, but that’s exactly what happens — one thing leads to another. I just go with the flow, find a better idea along the way, and decide to build a roofed bridge instead of something else. It makes the place feel more organic rather than overly planned or urbanistic. I’m not sure if that makes sense.

[proven plaza]

it seems to do the trick people say . so far hasn' thappened to me.

[pastel stream]

mine was going right where I'm standing under the pier

[timid ermine]

I get you, its like sculpting, where you let the piece be what it wants to be

but man @proven plaza that lighting suggestion is amazing. You can have stunning architechture but it means crap if it isn't lit well

[proven plaza]

beautiful !

[pastel stream]

ty!

[proven plaza]

THANK YOU !

also a bonfire in the water can come very handy , just saying.just need a rock foundation

[pastel stream]

I made a sunken fire pit just over the water but didn't actully know it would go into the water, very nice to know for screen shots and other occasions

I move the bonfire so much in the middle of building I should have three or four firepits and just swap them back and forth lol

[proven plaza]

so i'm mostly inactive, just trying stuff up i think of

[runic granite]

A powder horn I have been making for my flintlocks.

[proven plaza]

graphics looks great

[pastel stream]

wow nice

[pastel stream]

all the builders nodding "me too"

[dreamy forge]

I'm almost done with the interior decorations

[proven plaza]

another reason as to why i prefer "wasting" time playing with lights and seeing what can be done and not instead of creating and showing my things.

[halcyon monolith]

makes me feel very basic

[proven plaza]

so does my brain , you get used to it , eventually.

[runic granite]

I love the vibe. It's a place that calls to be explored.

[lyric moth]

This is awesome omg! I wish I had your creativity. Jesus my buildings are so basic compared to yours

[dreamy forge]

Break down the snap points, turn the angles and add more big and small spaces. Even if you fail, you'll learn your own way by demolishing them and trying for hundreds of hours
I started with a simple square box

[timid ermine]

even if I don't place, I'm still excited to show y'all what I've been working on for the contest 😄

[haughty lava]

Is there a build height limit?

[proven plaza]

your skills are quite better than mine . enough for you to even enter the contest .

[proven plaza]

from the screenshots i've seen it seem that if any it's quite tall.

[haughty lava]

Games with large creations platforms, it's only a matter of time until we get a Barad-dûr built by a Captain or two on an island somewhere haha.

[proven plaza]

time to think of a good pirate Lechuck , who else for that role in a pirateworld

[lyric moth]

Do monsters and critters attack base?

[modern tartan]

12 build hours in today, think its time to call it a night lol

[mint onyx]

Okay this is hilarious and so creative

[tall beacon]

So many beautiful builds and fun ideas! Can't wait for early access ❤️‍🔥

One thing I'd definitely do differently when we have access to EA is spend more time looking for a unique place where to build my base 🤔

[mint onyx]

Damn, this is so good.

[sharp perch]

Mi first construction !!

[icy thistle]

looking good mate

[misty ivy]

Yoo thats epic 😍 now we need just some native south american tribe statues and stuff 🤩
20k stone is mental tho 😅 hail baltozo, king!

[vapid dust]

This is absolutely incredible!

[ruby ore]

I built my lighthouse so high the lights doesn't render when i go back far enough to physically see them 🤣

[proven plaza]

how about leaving a small base at the base of where you put the light? you know , like the space of the small wood planks tile, all around it

[ruby ore]

I put a bonfire up there since it was high enough to be out of the radius of the first one, and some wall lights. The bonfire renders from far but the wall lights i can only see lit when standing near it.

[swift oriole]

spent about 40 hours for building Sunrise Port, and much more to build...
hoping to finish before deadline of Building Contest

[swift oriole]

spent about 40 hours for building

[keen yoke]

progress of my Port town, stone is kinda rediculous to farm. lots more work to hopefully finish my whole vision before contest deadline

[weak ocean]

The miners' settlement. I've only completed 1/3 of what was planned. I'm only building buildings. I'll do the decoration later

[mint onyx]

Thats another amazing one, well done

[shrewd magnet]

picasso

[hardy ermine]

Very well done!

[faint geode]

That look dope.

I really hope we'll get to fill these creations with NPCs and traders. Imagine creating your own little Nassau and having to endure pirate/military raids. Setting up trade lines between settlements you've created to share resources between them. Basically what ASKA has done, but for the carribean.

[unreal basin]

Well it says in some of the tables "worker" so think we can put npc in there to craft in the full game.

[faint geode]

Yeah, it seems likely 😄

[shrewd oriole]

is it from a random transport ship?

[spring pivot]

No

Interceptor

[shrewd oriole]

Do they spawn in those numbered waters, or maybe on higher difficulties?

Or are they just shy
(alright! I found one!)

[warped burrow]

mu buddy wanted a cozy little fort as a home base.. well..... 40 hours later.

Hey there "Marin d'eau douce", take a sit!
I 've got everything you need! Get some rest before heading back out to sea! 🌊

||I wanted to share you what i've done before the game was no longer be available||

[rapid sparrow]

The cove is taking shape! Back to the mines for me though.

[rapid sparrow]

This tower looks so cool! I love the organic lean to it. There are also ways to get around the height limitations, but it requires layering piers on top of each other with large foundations + small block foundations

[wraith cedar]

Nothing helps better against scurvy than a good meal and a strong drink with your fellow sailors. And even the captains can rest for a moment.

[meager timber]

it looks amazing, loved your work. can you tell me how to hide hud?

[mint onyx]

Lookin Cozy

my town on night

yaaaaaaaaaa i need and want more item for build pls

[lime ingot]

how to start creative?

[sharp stirrup]

I know there are more items to build with... I played the playtest, I know what to expect... I can't wait any longer...

[short willow]

Thank you 😎, and that's why it's so high, because if you look closely, you can see that there are two piers, one a little lower and the other higher, to give the illusion of huge logs supporting it

[sinful socket]

anyone elses game taking 100 years to get to the main menu?

[sharp stirrup]

no problem for me

we register for the build competition??

[rapid sparrow]

Yeah, I'm just saying you can go even higher

[short willow]

I will build a higher version but that will be when EA comes out and there are more blocks available to improve it even further

[old valley]

Yep it's all in #│announcements

[polar hare]

Primitive lighthouse I made at my base w a dock and fire

[timid ermine]

chimneys excite me today lol

[timid ermine]

we are really stress testing the HECK out of their build system xD

[echo crown]

wood... but at a cost

entire bottom left part of the island deforested

[rocky bolt]

I crammed a cooking fire inside the top of my chimney so you can’t see it but there’s a nice plume of smoke. Made me so happy to figure that one out

[slender crown]

I MAKE it STABLE XD

[haughty vessel]

Decided to share the interior of my little shack

aaand I just noticed my char is blocking the cooking fire from view...

The outside

[shrewd oriole]

behold

darn, the tide took my castle before I was able to take the screenshot

you'll just have to trust me it was glorious

[timid ermine]

lol

[slender crown]

Dammit, I hate it when that happens, the tide in this game is just out of control 😉

[crisp dome]

I need a screen (video) capture app for taking a video of my build. Those I tried so far made terribly laggy useless videos. What do you use?

[subtle vault]

You can use built in win11 snipping tool app

[crisp dome]

I'm afraid it's not available under Zorin Linux. I tried the built in one but that only captures black screen.

[proven spear]

I've built a small jacuzzi for my lads 😂

[timid ermine]

I will weep tears of joy when we finally get curved building pieces

[round rivet]

Awesome demo, really enjoyed it. I just wish the mats returned to your inventory instead of falling in the water. had to do alot of free diving.

[forest locust]

built a desk

[acoustic shoal]

@yanson you just need a dutchman to build you a dike to control that damn tide. 🙂

Sluice is an option.

[lilac rover]

I’ve encountered the Cult of the Dodo

[timid ermine]

now that is some succulent support brackets

[limpid radish]

you can do a 30 degree angle trick. perhaps, you're already aware of it. it's not the same as a curved structures but still looks cool.

[timid ermine]

its a PAIN though, I'm constantly in a boxing match with the camera to not shoot my piece into the center of the earth xD

"you wanted to turn off snapping to gently tease that piece 2 mm downward? What if I tried to build it in space?"

[tiny juniper]

Nice Moon. And started building a tavern on top of a shipwreck. 😆

[rocky grotto]

nah, I just wanted 2 boats in the harbor 😄

[tropic fjord]

dam, my base look like a toddler made it next to yours, good job 😉

[warped pumice]

How about a dirty brothel? Thats from last week. New build is hush hush

[stark hamlet]

okay, maybe theres some competition for the contest.... haha

[hollow canyon]

Vim, This is amazing! You should make this into a player trading hub for the Demo

[fervent moat]

Has anyone experimented with leading water to grass land building areas, like a pseudo river? is that possible with dig?

[warped pumice]

Digging only goes so far down from start point like valhiem

So all coast can be sunk but higher areas only yield less high areas

[fervent moat]

😕 k thanks

[warped pumice]

tried to split my island in half

got a long dry river bed and two decent starting streams lol

If you find a low peninsula you could probably run a shallow river and pond to the center

or sink the starting point and just make a little "fourth island"

[wooden quest]

first build of the game, cant wait to get more stuff unlocked

[surreal rock]

i wonder if you can make a hobbit hole. but the shovel mechanics are treacherous

plus, no carve feature

yet

[warped pumice]

Yea, also like Valheim it has a drop land dig. Maybe dig into a mountian as far as possible then build the home in the hole then use shovel to raise dirt back up around it? Got me thinking now lol

[narrow peak]

Note to future builders: when building on a high slope / mountain, make guardrails before breaking stuff so your materials don't slide away...

[fleet mantle]

Considering there are no slopes like that on any of the 3 islands in the demo, only the few that build on the island they glitch themselves onto need to worry about it

[narrow peak]

perhaps in the future when we got more islands, i was certainly not expecting them to just slide down like that lol

[fleet condor]

wip of my base

[outer remnant]

Screenshots from a coop game with a friend.

[covert mirage]

just a tiny lil trading post but backwards parking be a bish 😂

This is the little base i built after beating the demo. Still have more i need to do.

[thorny sail]

Park the ship in a bit distance outside of the window and make a new photo pls

[waxen verge]

A Monolith has started to appeared in Tortuga. Costing the locals thousands of stone to generate.

[rare hemlock]

How far will I get before the demo ends? We will see...
From simply a pirate tavern to a tavern with a harbor and other buildings...

[rain veldt]

em silly question - you can actually have greater camera distance on ship? how 🙂

[analog parcel]

Press F and it should do the trick ( if you played ac4 i bet you tried spamming W haha )

[rain veldt]

thanks mate 🙂

[naive trench]

Someone build millenium falcon ?

[rocky bolt]

That was painful to watch, yet also hilarious. Thanks for the tip

[void fable]

There isn't a "creative mode" right? Or server like enshrouded that has Materials to grab?
Other people farming their materials for build?

[timid ermine]

You can create another server and collect resources, then go back to your build server. Can delete resource server after done 🙂

[pastel hemlock]

Does your base get attacked?

[timid ermine]

If your buddies really want to mess with your build, yeah. My partner accidentally destroyed the dock I was working on when he was screwing around with his cannons 🤣. Dont think you can damage eachothers ships tho

[oblique gulch]

I'm hoping bases get attacked by NPCs

[spare raven]

This is a feature I'd like but also be wary of... Largely cause you don't want to be interrupted a lot to go have to defend your base (Fallout 4 Style ~ another settlement needs your help!), but also that kind of action can be enjoyable. Maybe something with an option to toggle it on or off. Conan Exiles had a content update like this at one point where you could basically enable or disable random NPC raids on your base, they added this largely for PvE players/servers to get some new challenges and action, but it wasn't permanently on unless you wanted it to be. Then they had a way for you to trigger it on your own by amassing treasures which would attract raiders who wanted it which I could see working here, too

Remember all suggestions, bug reports, and feedback are helpful in shaping the game!

[shrewd magnet]

There is no creative mode, maybe in the future. Only creative mode you got is using CE in your own world.

[timid ermine]

Even something fun like if you get up to too many pirate shennanigans you have to fend off the navy or something. Tbh I just really want to put functioning cannons on my fortifications :3

[outer remnant]

xD Sadly, we just have little rafts atm, but glad you like the image.

[sharp mirage]

pve raid event mechanic would be cool.
should be default in all survival games.

[oblique gulch]

I just want an excuse to build on top of mines or dig trenches around my base lol

[thick spear]

I don't have much unlocked yet, but wanted to show the little workstation area I made at the side of my house and a cozy rest area at the back of it.

[winter drift]

People are so creative with their stuff here

[rustic berry]

Not Windrose related as such, but I spent my weekend making a Mudkip plushie, just gotta make some eyes for him now

[weary tinsel]

here i upload the pic for bulding contest !, if is not the proper tab pls guide me !

[echo shard]

Auto-Run would be a very nice QoL improvement.

[prisma rock]

work in progress

[winter drift]

I envy the creativity

[wicked galleon]

Wait. Is that a reference to Howl’s moving castle?

[icy thistle]

Wrong place

Check #│announcements @weary tinsel

[shrewd magnet]

What the.

That's crazy!

[fervent mist]

yeah.. u win, 100%! ❤️

[unreal basin]

@shrewd magnet are gonna take it over and make it his home for when he is not out on the seas plundering 😄

[shrewd magnet]

👀

[prisma rock]

we can talk this out...

[icy thistle]

3rd or 4th from what ive seen so far, be interesting how the voting goes

[old valley]

Excited to see everyone's builds, I got so much more to do this week lol

[verbal horizon]

Bro I'm so done with farming stone, Must be on 5000 by now easy 😂

[old valley]

Tell me about it, in the mines rn 🫡

If anyone needs copper ore let me know XD

[verbal horizon]

Oh I dont mine there, I make a new server, then run around farming the pure stone nodes

I get way more stone that way

[old valley]

That's pretty smart maybe

[verbal horizon]

Try it out and let me know if it's better

[icy thistle]

still faster than wood, over 10k now but at least my axe still has full durability lol

[verbal horizon]

Wood is a nightmare to farm, But I think when the EA comes out we will have NPCs so maybe they can go farm for us 🤷‍♂️

[icy thistle]

we will, well we did in playtest so youd think

[verbal horizon]

That will save so much time. I must have spent maybe 50 hours building this base so far, And most of that's farming mats 😂

Having a right problem doing the roofs tho

Will be better when we have more choice of building items.

https://tenor.com/view/accident-fall-dumb-roof-stairs-gif-9062161941246368660

[icy thistle]

yeah just leaf roof is annoying too but better than nothing

[old valley]

I just can't get a roof on my lighthouse, all I get is unstable structure, so I decided on an open air design 🤣

[verbal horizon]

Yep, and it takes so much away from the look of your build

[verbal horizon]

Did you miss something out?

Not had that problem

[tough hull]

What’s the flooring look like in those round sections? Are they just 15degree placements? Been having trouble making smaller circles with the pieces we have available lol

[verbal horizon]

Yep, round flooring ends up looking like patch work

But kind of looks okay tbf

[tough hull]

Working on a lighthouse now, I’ll see if I can get some pics up tonight if I get it done. I need to start using those corbels for support, they really make the structure look complete

[tough hull]

That’s not bad at all though I thought it would look worse lol

[verbal horizon]

Some places look worse lol, but I didn't care to spend much more time on it

If you play around with it then I'm sure you could get it all looking like that

The building is good, But I think it needs a little polishing, as sometimes things dont fit right

Or there are like little gaps

And the gaps

[fleet mantle]

@spare raven am I the only one who sees the "no-access" link that goes nowhere?

[harsh dock]

The beginning of a costal defense fort...

I questioned how far off the coast we were allowed to build, turns out its pretty far...

[granite moss]

the start of something great

[crisp dome]

I wish you could actually raise an island. 😁

[rocky bolt]

If you use the 26 degree leaf roof pieces you can place the 26 degree wooden stairs directly under them, basically attached inside them. Gives the interior a nice wooden beamed look. Also you can use the 45 degree wooden ramp pieces as a roof for a different look

[rocky bolt]

If you delete those foundation blocks under the rock wall pieces, you can make a second row of rock walls under the first row, then re add the foundation blocks to get rid of those gaps 🙂

@verbal horizon The game usually allows you to squeeze foundation blocks in most places where there is a wall, in places where you can’t attach a wall to a foundation, if that makes sense

[verbal horizon]

Thanks, Will have a mess around when I get chance

[pastel stream]

I used 5k wood yesterday and I'm at 145hrs now lol I hate to think how much wood I have actually farmed I'm kinda glad I wasn't paying attention.

[rare hemlock]

Some time later....
I have made progress. The pirate haven is thriving. 🙂

[frail mango]

our Pirates hostel

[hybrid canopy]

Watching all these creations, I truly hope we can make pretty large complexes when the game's released in full...

And you guys are just nuts...

[past musk]

I'm so impressed with how you got it to curve so neatly, because I struggled for a hot minute doing a similar project.

Porta-potty outside the tavern, because why not?

[spare raven]

Oop sorry, might've tagged the wrong thing. Maybe #1298615271686279208

[fleet mantle]

Ah ok yeah, I can see that. Maybe you tagged a mods only channel

[astral wadi]

that's absolutely insane and I praise you for such an amazing build. does the game chug when you look at it?

[torpid ermine]

They bother me too

[grim crescent]

your mason did not fill thge gaps with enough mortar

[icy thistle]

Yeah tried the 45° but you have to double up otherwise it just looks terrible from the interior and the exterior on large roofs the pattern repeats too much looking "fake" or something and the stair trick does nothing for the exterior so I chose to just use leaf roofs

[icy thistle]

Yup, thats just for my current build as I farm 2k each run i didnt bother keeping track with earlier builds as it wasn't focused farming for those, ill be glad when ea drops and we have npc lumberjacks

[rocky bolt]

It’s not ideal I agree with you. I’ve been using leaf roofs pretty much exclusively cause yeah other options aren’t great

[icy thistle]

ive come round to them, no other option and repetition helps lol

[granite moss]

I used the 15° angle and connected only one beam withe ach other so it snapped together, the holes I filled out with wooden floors

[rose sky]

My little abode

[indigo cairn]

gettin that fort / shipyard life goin

Concept on building a pier

[indigo cairn]

pier lookin good so far DooZ

[rose sky]

Thank you. I added a long ramp for disembarking after sailing so you don’t have to get the ship too close the the shore line on the bank

[keen yoke]

My wife and i were playing earlier and she kept going on about how cute the crabs are and how they should put them in as pets, or make it so we can have pets. I said its been suggested to some degree. Then ofc as im building her a new house on the island this lil guy walks up, so i was curious and boarded him in. He still hasn't de spawned or left after 30 mins or so lol. Hopefully he stays after i log off.

[indigo cairn]

Pretty nice view at night so far. Is there a hide hud option or hotkey? i dont see one

[narrow peak]

Try /

[keen yoke]

yep... there it is lol thank you

now i gotta wait for another moon cycle and retake the shot

[rare hemlock]

Thank you. It will probably be even better in EA, as I made a few mistakes here and there during construction, or I had even better ideas afterwards. And no, the game runs smoothly for the most part. So far, it has only closed three times just like that (but not always in my harbor, but also while farming).

[rose sky]

The game really is beautiful. It’s gonna be great once it’s on EA.

[grand briar]

The only thing aside from some more polishing for sailing/combat itself that I'd hope for is an expanded character creator (more face sliders/nose types, scars, more body shaping tools, more hair and skin types), but that's just me. I've got a small little build, but it fits the character I'm playing - can't wait to remake him in the full game 🍻

[keen yoke]

Im really hoping the farming and workers make resource gathering easier, particularly stone mining and logging... trying to build a whole cove is taking forever. Idk what the plans are. I assume itll get easier/faster when more of the game opens up.

[frigid yoke]

My mini Fortres house.

where did you get the flag pole?

You can rebuild the campfire to put it on foundation

little work, i really hope we can have one creation mode on the final game

[crisp dome]

I definitely have to upvote Porta-potty! Such a customer friendly idea!!! ❤️

[crisp dome]

I didn't intend to put this up yet, because it's part of my little building project, but you can have some more unique pets. 😏
But unfortunately they all despawn on logout... all you have left is just the sod empty cages and the bruises you got while putting them in. 😭

[keen yoke]

@crisp dome I just logged out and back in before heading to work to see if the crab was still there. Sadly he wasnt and my is gonna be sad when I tell her lol.

My wife*

[crisp dome]

Yeah, and imagine if you want a pair or more... 😮‍💨

But you can build a trap on the part of the beach where they can only go one way (into your cage) and eventually you will get some without chasing them.

I mean the crabs. 😅

Hmm... I was planning to build traps for humans but if you try to break the part that holds the trapdoor it will show the whole trapping mechanism RED so the burglar would see straight away the trap. 😑

[rustic berry]

by asking ChatGPT: "can You turn me into Norman Rockwell painting" we can bring our Captain to such an awesome art like this I love it

[crisp dome]

Yeah. I made this earlier from the login screen... But some people are so repellent by the ai pictures I thought I shouldn't push it hard. Respect tastes. ❤️

[proven spear]

looks awesome 😄

Progress on my ultimate defensive six bastion starfort. Castillo Quinn de Mali(in honor of my partner). Everywhere you see stone is built on a solid rock foundation. Nothing is hollow unless it has proper stone and wood support. Going for realism. So much left to finish before March 11th! I will upload part two, had to break it up for the 100mb upload limit.

Mine has been dubbed “The Tax Seavasion”

I played smart and my "resource island" is actually a world with the easiest settings. It's somewhat even funny when you see the agro arc on you while cutting trees and try to turn to the angle so with the next chop you can kill a boar too. 😁

[wispy tartan]

Hey! why can we not make changes to our ship? equip hull and cannons?

it says that we need to be close to a warf in order to do this

But I'm pretty sure I'm as close as I can get

[crisp dome]

Maybe try to log out and back in?

[pseudo zinc]

press q near the helm it will open the ship inventory

[wispy tartan]

So it is working for other people?

[crisp dome]

It works for me.

[pseudo zinc]

you are to close xD

you cant be too close, in range is in range xD

Oh big brain

[pseudo zinc]

did u build a wharf or just the shipwrights workshop?

[wispy tartan]

Good question, If I'm in range of the bonfire, does that mean the warf is as well?

[spring pivot]

Should show you

[crisp dome]

Some tables only work if it is in range or if there's a roof above... 🤷

[wispy tartan]

Lol

I think, my friend build the shipwrights workshop

and i deleted it, and now build a warf
