[mint onyx]

damn, need an outside view

[tawdry phoenix]

old english castles tended to have long steps rather than high steps. 6-8 " high but 12-24+" deep especially on external stairs

ok so seesm 55-60 then i start getting stability problems. thats a whole 12+ more blocks than my original tower

my doctor is safe at the top hah

[viral shadow]

Well this is my first build! Many more to come! It took me about 4-5 hrs to fully build and furnish.

[tawdry phoenix]

looks so cool ive got stuck in a routine of just seeing how high i can go XD

[bronze oak]

Not the point. The point of building creativity is being able to utilize pieces from another design to add immersion.

For example. Using the quarter wood floor and wooden posts to make an animal trap or fishing trap in the water.

Using floor and posts to make a lift platform for cargo.

Using wooden posts to make a makeshift cannon.

[tawdry phoenix]

"not the point" i spent my youth going to english castles XD humans were alot smaller back then

i do admit we need a rotation on that axis though

i do building in fallout 4 and the fact it has a rotationon that axis makes creativity so much easier

you can turn rotation down to 15 degrees

can also turn off snapping which allows you to place things at varying heights .

[calm sparrow]

actualy more creative like this will win

i just realise i have even no 1 building its whole city with fort ahah, really its no way to get win point but i enjoying of this process

[wispy tartan]

I'm sorry but this is not true, back in the Old English and Norman times, castle staircases were usually tall, narrow, and a bit uneven. Not long and easy to walk up. They weren’t really meant for everyday comfort. Instead, these stairs were built to be defensive and sometimes even tricky or dangerous,to slow down any invading soldiers. It's the same as with the spiral stairs being built like they are. To make it more difficult for the invading soldiers to fight on.

Still looks good though

[pastel stream]

no you can with / and if you want to get rid of toon build wall w/roof and stand under roof

[tawdry phoenix]

hence i said external i best go tell hever /dover and other local castles their stairs are all wrong XD

[tawdry phoenix]

ive ran up and down most castle stairs in south england

[wispy tartan]

About it being on external stairs I wouldn't know for sure, could be right on that

[tawdry phoenix]

internal sprial stairs weere definately steep .

[tawdry phoenix]

ive fallen down internal staircases .stone stairs hurt a ton . hah

[wispy tartan]

I can imagine it does 😛

[pastel stream]

I don't think we have very many good examples of outside steps as they were usually wood and have been remodeled over time.

you can see where they used to go though from the knotch holes carved in the stone

[calm sparrow]

who drop sand bag in my doors ?

[pastel stream]

looks like you live at the beach 🙂

[calm sparrow]

right

privilege to live at the beach to have this expensive decorations

[tawdry phoenix]

lift and trap . definitely need another rotaion axis though

[merry pollen]

St. Augustine inspired fort build. Stone is such a grind ;-;

[tawdry phoenix]

which mines are you using to farm the stone ?

[merry pollen]

I've been just farming boulders cuz for some reason afer having completed demo i get more copper than stone. But do you have a rec?

[tawdry phoenix]

i find the starter mine gives me about 200-240 each clear .but yeah i noticed the higher copper drop since doing quests to

[merry pollen]

Noted ill check out ty

Other Side of wall and Inside wall

[tawdry phoenix]

with my tower i can extend the floors out about 2 blocks each way . might make a wonky wizard extension too for the doctor .am loving the lighting and asthetic of the game

makes me wanna fire up the fire pit and crackout an ale

[rigid pilot]

wizards live in a normal house but their magic stretches everything out. their hats, robes... wands... thats right a wizards staff is just their first wand

[tawdry phoenix]

there also the theory wizard towers are like man made beehives to in hope entice a wizard to stop wandering lol

[calm sparrow]

Damn Pirat ship attack my base and damage my tower, crazy

[rigid pilot]

bro where you livin

[calm sparrow]

Bro i just wanna build but they put me in the well, drop sand at my house, throw my boat, and now this, whyyy

actualy will be cool if devs add this ) able pirate to damage your buildings

[bronze oak]

Mines are good for stone farming.

Shipwrecks are good for wood/nail farming.

[calm sparrow]

i found their camp

[rigid pilot]

still workin on decorations

[bronze oak]

Does someone mind posting the fishing pole thing again? I'm interested and I can't seem to remember what chat it was posted in.

[bronze oak]

I ended up finding the link. And I must say. After seeing the abundance of things to be added beyond the demo. I'm even more excited and anticipating EA and final release.

[frozen marsh]

Small work, small progress

[calm sparrow]

what im doing...

[broken summit]

Man this game looks so good at night!

[nimble bay]

need to make a video i think, these small basement spaces dont really come through on a single frame

[pale sequoia]

Has anyone figured out how to make arches when building bridges etc?

[broken summit]

You might be able to use the sticks to get something closeish to it? I haven't tried that out but it might kinda work.

[nimble bay]

yea wooden arches work

[pale sequoia]

How did you do that? Lol

I need a tutorial stat

[nimble bay]

just put the pieces of the respective angles together

you can also mask the steps in the stone with more smooth rattan walls

[pale sequoia]

This is the style I need

[noble kiln]

is this where i submit my build for the contest?

[nimble bay]

see the announcements for how to submit, you need to send a DM

[noble kiln]

i saw that but how do i submit a dm?

[broken summit]

In the announcement right click on Hisaki's name and you'll have the option to DM them.

[nimble bay]

@pale sequoia

[keen yoke]

Ketchfall Haven is booming nicely, think im about at the point where i just detail as much as i can and then figure out my screenshots, though im nowhere near where i want it to be lol..... this is gonna be hard to narrow down

[nimble bay]

oh wow thats a whole city

yea idk how i can get it down to 5 pics, might just make the 30s video a slideshow of 15 pics or so, lol

My fort has four corners, each has a structure on the inside and a unique interior under the bastion. On top of those eight locations, there are two more nooks on the inside with their own thing, the casemates, the harbor, the kilns, the entrance, the top of a bastion, and a grand overview of the whole fort...

[broken summit]

I can't wait till this game comes out in early access! You can build so much stuff!

[keen yoke]

I instantly wanted to build an entire port town, something close to port royal or nassau mixed with something youd see in PotC. I really wanted to put a who other level and maybe go for a Booty Bay from world of warcraft or Lost Boys village from Hook but theres no way ill have the time. Once the game launches and we have more stuff ill def do a whole island for sure. I didnt even really get much into verticality, or like hidden passages, or underground stuff. This is def gonna be my dream sandbox game

i have ramparts with cannons at the mouth of the bay but im not overtly happy with em so i didnt ss them, if i have time ill redo them lol

[keen yoke]

this is a great idea tbh

i was thinking i just edit the video down to 3-4 second clips walking through the town

[distant folio]

good stuff! how do you hide the UI?

[nimble bay]

Fort Chevalier at night

[keen yoke]

and stitch those together to kinda give a quick 30 second tour of the whole town

press /

[distant folio]

also what do you think about this skull? OK or just lame?

[keen yoke]

and if you build a wall behind you itll remove your character

[distant folio]

thank you man! this is awesome

[keen yoke]

line up your shot, build a wall piece behind you and then reline up the shot

[nimble bay]

it does, however, put the camera a bit closer because it basically goes into 1st person mode

[keen yoke]

like this, build it right behind then just rotate the camera back around

[nimble bay]

same shot without walls

[keen yoke]

love the candles on the posts, prob gonna steal that lol. didnt think of that

[keen yoke]

i think it needs candles in the eyes and some clutter around it

[distant folio]

managed to get the shot

[nimble bay]

you can also place some bowls in between as i did with my garden lamps

[rocky bolt]

The stone stair corners? Or the special wall corners?

[keen yoke]

looks awesome!

[calm sparrow]

small pantry in my dungeon

[shrewd oriole]

Nah, it has been debunked. No one built staircases with enemy soldiers in mind, that's crazy. They were just sloppy.

[pale sequoia]

I can't figure out how you did that

You all are so creative!

[shrewd oriole]

In another dimension...

[nimble bay]

use the angled wall pieces and pillars

the pirates finally have a tavern

[pale sequoia]

I will try this

[pale sequoia]

When I try to do something like this for a floor design I can't seem to get the angles to sbap

[rigid pilot]

[rigid pilot]

whats that? jimmy fell down the well?

[mint onyx]

I'll let this one speak for itself

[rigid pilot]

???? how even did you get the crab on that?

[mint onyx]

Its a decoration

[nimble bay]

I think I finally know what to do with the basement room behind my chapel lol

[mint onyx]

Oh no 😂 I spark the wrong ideas

[rigid pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/pope-religious-point-you-can-doit-pope-john-paul-ii-gif-15573613

[rigid pilot]

i dont have that option

[mint onyx]

Collect red crabs on the beach until you get their shell, it will unlock the decoration 🙂

Took me a little too

[nimble bay]

I can finally see the end of my build coming

only one bastion interior left to construct and since I still have to build some extra fortifications around the outside, this wont be the last trip to a quarry world but one of the last, i think

interior decorations all done except for the residential part / commander's manor

[mint onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/yeeclaw-gif-21242385

[rigid pilot]

i literally dont even have those... i have a boars head and nada

[nimble bay]

dodos drop a head, too

just need to kill more dodos and collect more crabs and eventually you'll get them, the drop rate is very low

[mint onyx]

Ye, Dodo heads and Crabs available for trophies too 😄

[rigid pilot]

did i miss a chest orrrrrr

[hybrid canopy]

just kill enough. drop rates are low and there's purely random algorithm, so technically you can kill anything from 1 to infinite dodos before getting one....

[rigid pilot]

no i have the trophies just no option to do anything with them

[mint onyx]

Huh, then you maybe missed a recipe somewhere?

[shrewd portal]

anyone know how to have more rock (i already loot all the cave)? and how to make a good roof for my two tower

[rigid pilot]

make another world and transfer your character betwixt the two

[shrewd portal]

[rocky bolt]

honestly I am most impressed with how fast you build! I have spent all my time building my fort and there is absolutely no way I will be able to fit in any haven buildings. I have consigned myself to a super fort build in defeat. How do you make creative decisions so fast?

[calm sparrow]

Drink ritual room

[wispy tartan]

Debunked by who? All historians I know never mentioned anything about this not being true.
All castles have the staircases built like this, are you saying they were all sloppy?
There's enough evidence to safely say that it was for the reason I mentioned

[rigid pilot]

actually the spiral was to the right to give defenders the advantage and force attackers to use their off hand while un even steps made it hard to navigate and slow those unfamiliar with the stairs.

https://castellscatalans.cat/documents/The_spiral_stair_origins_and_role.pdf

[pastel stream]

the crabs are so cute they deserve an alter

[fleet mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-people-south-park-gif-25989008

[pastel stream]

I have a little area that they crawl all over the lumber mill and I love it when I see them every time

[rigid pilot]

while not initially the reason , most stairs went to the right due to the theology regarding right and left due to early Cristian beliefs. hence when ascending to a lords chamber or a private chapel the stairs were ascending to the right (ascending correctly towards heaven) you enter on the sin side and exit on the holy (this is also why the phrase right hand man exists) this comes from monastic traditions. this was initially the standard in early religious building of the early medieval era. in defensive castles of the mid to late era the clockwise direction (early castles were mostly towers surrounded by earth works and palisades) engineers and designers kept the tradition due to the defensive advantage and purposefully staggered steps in choke points

TDLR it started as happenstance but was later an informed decision

[timid ermine]

did i get the dingy port wherhouse vibes right?

If attackers are ascending your stairs, it is already too late. Fighting on stairs looks good on tv, but it's a myth.

Guys... It seems like you cant build a canal through island to go through. Game wont let me dig deeper and I assume the water end here. 🚱

The canal now goes through the island, but I think the max distance you can dig from ground -Z-plane is limited 😁

[edgy matrix]

no canal and no slave tunel under the ocean

[primal storm]

Anyone know how to get rid of grass that randomly spawns like this once you have removed it... pretty annoying

[wispy tartan]

No its not a myth. There is plenty of evidence this being true. And so far every historian says the same.

Come with something to back up your claim.

Fighting on stairs was a last resort. All castles built them likes this for a reason. You're funny bro

[shrewd oriole]

No historians back this up. It was made up in 1903 in a single book with no sources. I mean, I also like this drawing I saw as a kid. But it's bs. Find better historians.

it's going to come back but you can use pier pieces to get rid of it until relog. just place them where the grass is and delete them again

[strong granite]

Unfortunately they despawn when you log out, but you can capture anything in ankle high walls. It also seems that animals can´t climb stairs, so you need to block the exit behind them, without getting killed in the process

[lost lotus]

whoa, that's really impressive. If that's being entered in the contest i better set up my game and actually finish it lol

[void fable]

There's a Contest!? 😱 😉

Hallo zusammen, Windrose hat mich als Spiel so begeistert, dass ich einen Song dazu gemacht hab. Gebt mir gerne ein Feedback und natürlich dürft ihr den Song auch gerne verwenden. Danke für die Inspiration.

[lost lotus]

a teaser and unfortunately massively underfinished

i didn't understand but i liked it

basically everything is built on the fly and half destroyed and built different. rince, repeat

[warped pumice]

I feel you my goose lol

we need cannons

We did have cannon decorations on the alpha so those will very likely make a return

I know they're still in the files, it's a question of if they'll be kept or break the game so bad they get removed lol, I know it's not likely just a hope for the best assume the worst seneario

[true rivet]

Well its just a decoration right? so don't actually fire? - or could you fire them in the alpha? 😮

[paper dune]

No they don't fire, again 99% sure they will return, just adding the * onto anything dug up from the files because there's always that 1% chance

[true rivet]

Sure, there's plenty of new/changed stuff already (past the demo) that i've seen

[paper dune]

I can't tell you the amount of times I tried making a formula calculator for some model paths only for them to completely change the next time I got to play XD

[true rivet]

Formula calculator for what? Ye i see the devs were midway through a refactor of certain bits when they dropped the demo, i expect ill have some frantic catching up when the next version drops 😅

I'll DM

[bronze oak]

My brother and I have a list of things we'd like to see that we are putting together. (Not with the expectation of that list being acknowledged and heeded) but simply for the fact of things we'd like to see in the future of Windrose.

And on the list I did put decorative/and-or/functional artillery for those who wish to build forts and such of that era and add the right esthetic. (I.e. cannons, cannon ball crates/bundles, swivel guns, crates/baskets of grenades, etc.)

[crisp dome]

Alfred, the swollen's friend on the other side of the ship wreck is a nice guy. Try to catch him next! 😄

[tawdry phoenix]

on the starter island i put a floor over the hole with them in

[crisp dome]

Plus one trick: these are the 2 guys who can walk around at daytime. Those who show up only at night they despawn at the morning.

And you can capture the pirates too.

[tawdry phoenix]

see how they like it XD

[tawdry phoenix]

ohno:O

i wonder if it clipped on the pier ?

[jade lava]

yea
she was hitting the pier before I logged off earlier

been trying to line a couple ships up for pics along the pier

[timid ermine]

when you're ready, make sure to post it in #1298615271686279208 🙂

[bronze oak]

Oh, we're still putting it together.

It's difficult sometimes because we'll be playing and have an idea, and I'll be too invested in what I'm doing to write it down, and then I end up going back to him later asking what we talked about and he can't remember either. XD.

But the list is slowly growing. Just minor things here and there. Compatible with gameplay, immersion, etc. No major changes.

I may just start recording when we play so I can go back and watch it through. Just use the same program I use to make my YT videos. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hybrid canopy]

In a forest 🎵 under a treee... 🎶 where green leaves don't grow 🎹 but red marks the spot of dreeeeaaammm cough cough*!!!!!

[hybrid canopy]

depends on the temperature, obviously. but they're not so cold as to not create anything but yellow 🙂

even simple candle produces some blues and greens, but most of the light comes out in the red part of the spectrum

[void fable]

I Disliked how the pillars hit the ground - So I am fixing it!

[tawdry phoenix]

tallow and beeswax burn yellow

[hybrid canopy]

there's a simple explanation: https://homeweb.unifr.ch/allanm/pub/ma/candle.html

[tawdry phoenix]

ive done medieval reenactment for decades seen many old ways of making candles. unless super pure like church beeswax they still burn yellow. the flames just appear whiter

a whiter flame is from a cleaner more processed fuel /wax .which they didnt really have back then .

[pastel stream]

in caribbean many were made from myrtle/bayberry wax (cleaner burning)

[tawdry phoenix]

tallow though like the lamps

thats not clean burning

[hybrid canopy]

and remember, CRI is the actual measurement of how well something actually shows colors. Human eye is amazing at disthinguishing colors in even yellow light as long as that yellow is high CRI. Candle light has very high CRI 🙂

[tawdry phoenix]

cool but in pirate days where were they getting super clean/refined candles from ?lol

everything in game thats being burnt is wood/tallow

just a wird thing to be bugged about. "the flames arent blue enough" XD

[pastel stream]

there is white light in the game btw... the death bag and the lanterns conected to some of the items

[hybrid canopy]

@tawdry phoenix but honestly, true realism isn't always the best choice for lighting in games etc... sometimes what "feels correct" is the best choice.

[tawdry phoenix]

the atmosphere would have been puirer back then too. and the more carbon i.e wood and fat burning .

[hybrid canopy]

rarely in movies the ligting is accurate to what it would actually look like, but it "feels correct"

[tawdry phoenix]

blue would look to noir

its a carebean pirate game .

not black and white mafia detective

also just turn your tv to cold mode

sorts your issue out

[pastel stream]

lighting is never period correct you would never see anything on screen lol

[tawdry phoenix]

i dunno been watching documentaries on film makers that literally use only candle light

they build walls of candles for brighter natural light

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si9blhOs0So candles work you just need lots of them to see more .

analogue "sky panel"

[pastel stream]

yes but is a wall of candles "period correct" either?

[tawdry phoenix]

never been to medieval churches or castle no ?

they had racks of candles

[hybrid canopy]

ultimately, you're liek to see something else than yellows regardless if that's realistic or not

I mean, you make all the effort to decorate your pirate cove and put all kinds of materials and shapes and intricate stuff in there... and then it's just yellow most of the time ;D

but anyway, i'll stop this topic now... it's too off topic

[tawdry phoenix]

big tallow/lard burns deep yellow. palm burns orangey yellow

there is now candles

[rocky bolt]

Need a new discord chat channel. “Historical debates concerning candle lighting and staircase building in medieval/colonial ages.”

[rocky bolt]

Let’s focus on helping each other build stuff 🤓

[tawdry phoenix]

i am. hed enjoy his builds alot more apparently if he switches his monitors colour palette XD

ive got mine on warm. i live in england. i prefer yellow/red light illusion of heat

[pastel stream]

used both light colors here

[hybrid canopy]

nope. My monitor is calibrated (work related) so not going to touch that. Things need to look as they are on my screen.

[tawdry phoenix]

thats a you problem then isnt it

[hybrid canopy]

@ashen citrus I'd say it's a game issue. I see things as they are 🙂

[tawdry phoenix]

most monitors there is a colour temp setting. doesnt alter any other settings. hell even my cheap motorola phone has it

you literally have a piece of technology that could fix your issue. but you wont. thats not a game issue.

ive got mine on super warm now. still looks lovely and cozy

nah., i hold the graphic designers and lighting designers of the dev team responsible to give us a good picture on calibrated monitors

that's like their job in a dev team 🙂

[tawdry phoenix]

not really

people see colour quite different . there is a spectrum standard

you dislike it.i love it

what colour settings need to be exact for audio editing ?

[hybrid canopy]

you can take this picture, run it through few basic analysis of what colors are there and it would show you liek 80% yellow and brown... so....

[tawdry phoenix]

wood and tallow lamps/palm wood

like i even have beeswax candles made the old way infront of me right here. they burn yellow too

[hybrid canopy]

@tawdry phoenix I'm an AV-technician. that includes audio, light, sound. my main bread is sound.

[tawdry phoenix]

good job not everyong is a av editor then

or they would have more people complainign about it not being blue enough

❤️ i would say enjoy . but you are clearly struggling on that part. i also hope in your future you never have to suffer at garden parties using tiki or oil lamps

off to play super warm cozy priate cove

[pastel stream]

this is an argument that would be over in one attempt of making a 30 second build video in editing btw

[ashen citrus]

Think you're replying to the wrong person.

[hybrid canopy]

yes I certainly did... my apologies

[bronze oak]

No, no. It's a game issue. Didn't you know?

[crisp dome]

Finally! I submitted my build.... 😊
So it's time to do something funny. I wonder if I can transport a boar through the sea....? Do they get seasick? 🤔

Apparently my crew doesn't like the life stock... 😒

[calm sparrow]

So collecting wood is fine ?)

[lost lotus]

i made a new world and started deforestation on ALL islands.

[undone burrow]

Cannons do break trees

[long bloom]

Now that’s a efficient way to harvest timber

[ashen citrus]

And no stam drain!

[undone burrow]

Oh the joys of detail building

[calm sparrow]

Spiral stairs nightmare for me)

[warped pumice]

Try these. Plus I can give you step by steps for spirals inside cylinder towers.

[calm sparrow]

all my crew live here

[calm sparrow]

i know someone can win with that idea but more time spended on house on it )

[undone burrow]

Finally built a base that isnt a box

[proven spear]

there is more wood and it is all around, I have to jump around the world for shells 🤣

[calm sparrow]

but time to collect wood and kill all trees on island more tought task )

i did big work on it but there are still wood on island )

[proven spear]

That's why I create another world and just make a run collecting seashells and wood

[calm sparrow]

i have shells only in ritual room

[rocky bolt]

I fear I may not finish in time...

[static rock]

A part of my building. I like 🙂

[undone burrow]

Please stop body shaming my little sea fort mate.

Jokes aside, amazing build

[calm sparrow]

cool it have aztec vibe, like u colonized some aztec ruins and build fort here

For me same, i feel some part of my build will be miss becouse no time

finaly ship perfectly spawned )

for this little guy things never changes

[rocky bolt]

Hey its how you use the size that matters.

[soft raptor]

How do you make it spawn so neatly?

[calm sparrow]

i do nothing )) its randomly, i guess when time to make screenshot it will spawn weird ))

[calm sparrow]

[carmine matrix]

Not saying everyone ... But I know some of you been using Mods for your build, But that is fine with me ... I use mods in other Games ... Just Don't say you didn't ... Because some of these Build are just to GORGEOUS with the Limited amount of material in game with the grind ........ Now with THAT Off My Chest ...... You ALL Have a Great WEEKEND ...... STILL LOVE Many of Your designs and
the Time you put into them. 🤗

[dreamy forge]

Windrose is so nice because it has a cozy atmosphere even indoors

[minor cipher]

Most (like myself) just have a couple of farm worlds. Takes 30 minutes to gather enough wood + stone for a days worth of building

[lunar quartz]

just made this...now I just gotta fill it up with decorations

[keen yoke]

Just stumbled across this gem as i was running around detailing. Thought it was pretty awesome so figured id share it

[dreamy forge]

Make a separate world save file with boxes full of construction materials and back it up
And if you've used it up, you can pop up the backup file and paste it back in, and the box will be full as it was.
Don't worry, it's a clear law

[minor cipher]

Damn. Here's me deforesting entire islands on a daily basis

can't wait for launch...this is in way better condition than valheim and it's just the demo if I made this base in valheim the waves would raise through my base constantly

Come listen to the new album!

[frosty canopy]

how do you do the wooden roof?

[calm sparrow]

a bit boxy but its fine, try to add beam pillars to house wall corners , also add windows, roof need to go off wall a bit, for example on tower its to much

[pastel stream]

it's the wooden ramp

[deft knoll]

Nickle above me is right it's the wooden ramp and the wood wall/wood angles for the sides

[verbal horizon]

After around 110 hours my build is done 🙂 here are a few photos. I will be making a video so you will be able to see more

[mint onyx]

What have I done with this...it started as a small cute base, then they introduced the contest. Now i'm slaving away chopping trees. I couldnt keep it as a small base no, I had to try making a small town. Why 😭

[verbal horizon]

So happy and sad that I dont need to chop wood or farm stone anymore 😂

Going to work on a video base tour now

[mint onyx]

Then I look in this channel and see all the insane builds and wonder if I even stand a chance lmao

Also the inspiration is both a blessing and a curse

[verbal horizon]

I had the same problem at first, but soon as you start building you get ideas

[crisp dome]

I built something that needs less wood chopping. 😏

[verbal horizon]

The hard part is trying to work out how many times you can place the same few items without it looking bad 😂

[uneven vigil]

My @55 was tryin to build the money pit from oak island

[verbal horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/holy-shamoley-gif-14008108

[uneven vigil]

lmao

[verbal horizon]

Did he find any wood? 😂

[uneven vigil]

its all over

[verbal horizon]

I have watched every single episode of Oak Island since day 1 🙈

[uneven vigil]

here hear

[verbal horizon]

One day they will find it haha

[uneven vigil]

Top pocket for sure

[mint onyx]

Nah ideas are endless, time is limited 😂

[verbal horizon]

Yeah only 3 days left

[mint onyx]

Only today for me unfortunately

[verbal horizon]

I must have spent just over a week on mine

10+ hours a day 😂

[mint onyx]

Yeah its super fun, but also very time consuming

[verbal horizon]

I hear NPCs will be able to farm in EA

[mint onyx]

Sure hope so 😂 no way i can do this again

[void fable]

The Renovation of ~The Salty Crab~ Is almost done!

If you Read the note, it may give a hint

[raw wasp]

I'm in the process of building a lighthouse. I'm currently working on the 4th floor and I'm wondering; is there fall damage in this game? 😅

[void fable]

I have not seen any damage

And uhh - I fell from ours so...

[ashen citrus]

Is that why I heard 'Leeeerooooooy Jenkins!' from over that way? I was wondering what was going on... 🤔

[void fable]

@jade lava and I test 'fall damage' the same way we test 'Friendly Fire'
Normally it ends with him reviving me!

[bronze ridge]

Anyone know if there is a way to disable rotation angle snapping? I found how to change the degree at which it roates but cant seem to turn it off.

[void fable]

Like "P" to disable all snapping or something different?

[bronze ridge]

I tried that. Unfortunatly it only affects snapping to other objects.

When I rotate a wall or foundation, the minimum I can rotate is 15 degrees

[void fable]

Correct - 15 degrees

[bronze ridge]

unfortunately, where I am building, the 15 degrees doesn't line up with what I am trying to build.

[void fable]

We agree

[crisp dome]

For me it only works after I push B to get out from building mode and push it again. Then it won't snap anymore.

[void fable]

I use walls and such to get the foundation to the angle I want, and then build back the walls on floors and such.
Doesn't work in all areas - but for some of the minuet angels... have to Jerryrigg it

[bronze ridge]

Yeah thats what I have figured out. Maybe they can add a free rotate option later on or something

[regal fog]

I need more stone 😅

[void fable]

Our bartender has SEEN SOME THINGS!

[proper crow]

I've also managed to get one for meself. Too bad they despawn.

[void fable]

Citizen #1

And we had to terminate him - due to destruction of Company Property.
I let @jade lava Fire him... He Broke my bar!

[crisp dome]

Those you get at night despawn in the morning but the ones you find next to the shipwreck can stand daylight. They are only despawn on logout.

My dilemma is not being able to transport live stock on my ship because my crew straight away goes and slices them up.
I wonder if I would catch a savage boar and take away the crew's upgrades who would win?
And would that teach a lesson to my crew about not touching my trading goods?! 🤔

[proper crow]

I think they generally stay there if you keep them in sight, but once out of sight they despawn except for the stronger ones (captains?) which will despawn on logout. I've also tried keeping boars in a pen but they'll also despawn eventually.

Would be nice to get some mechanics to keep them in

[crisp dome]

Catch some pirates too, they are fun to have in a cage. 😁

[mint onyx]

Guys how do I blend out the UI for photos?

[crisp dome]

I built a maze and filled it up with all the animals that would attack you...
... but you also can loot chests for rare stuff. 😊

[crisp dome]

You can toggle it on/off with the button "/"

[mint onyx]

Thanks 🙂

[frozen marsh]

more progress about build base:

[mint onyx]

Wait is that not on a Qwertz Keyboard?

[proper crow]

I've got a similar space under my fort where I'd keep a couple of those buggers to guard my hoard... They actually spawn there if I remove the bonfire 💀

[crisp dome]

U should try to switch to a US keyboard layout. Everything else just didn't work for me.

[mint onyx]

Thanks for the tip ^^

works now

[timid ermine]

I guess this is what I'm doing until EA releases xD

you build the main island for the npcs think bro damn 😄 massive work but its looks stuning

[verbal horizon]

Hahaha 117.6 hours, My life is so gone when EA comes out 😂

[frozen marsh]

when i seen that i am ashaime about what i build, fraaack maaan for you noo limit ... crazy /bow

[verbal horizon]

Thanks mate. I had no clue what to build at first, but as soon as I started, more and more ideas came to me. Then I’d rip it down and start again whenever I came up with a better idea. It’s really just a case of starting and learning as you go.

[swift oriole]

i am still building after 120 hours... only 3 days left submit builds

[pseudo ivy]

The devs must send you a message toe make use this as trait and markpoint

[verbal horizon]

Hahaha I wanted to add more but yeah time is running out.

[old valley]

At least you did a lot of the interiors, I just made sure everything in the screenshots looks good 🤣 No time for interiors

[frozen marsh]

well i say you make a fantastic work already, adding more it will just cluter thing and better to have it clean and nice, atention for detail is ... !!! basicaly you can work very well in a eny game dev making enviroment 👍

[pastel stream]

same!

[verbal horizon]

Oh the pirate house down the right side are all empty, but the rest I did what I could

[pastel stream]

nope, can confirm many times over

[old valley]

Only one way to find out if there's fall damage lol

[verbal horizon]

Hahaha, does my OCD show? 😂 In the video you’ll see that I miss clicked and punched. I was going to redo the whole video just because of that, and now it’s driving me crazy.🙈

~The Armory~

[pastel stream]

@obtuse urchin had to change his keyboard to english standard before his would work @mint onyx

[nimble bay]

On a quertz keyboard, / is done with shifting a number key, it's not its own key

Gotta make space for the Umlaute somehow

[pastel stream]

I think shift 7 or F7?

[nimble bay]

Shift 7, yes

Umlaute can be capitalized, so putting them as shift options wasnt in the cards, they needed their own keys

So some things that arent a shift option on qwerty became one on qwertz

I hope we'll eventually be able to remap all keys. B is my usual inventory key but that doesnt really work here until the build menu key can be remapped

[sacred elbow]

WIP - Eastern European Social Housing. Foundation done

[calm sparrow]

Huge

[wispy tartan]

To make something like this, I've seen multiple examples. Do you start from the bottom and work your way up?
Because it doesn't let you start from the hook and work your way down

A little bit tricky if you ask me

[warped pumice]

Hey thats my pic lol. I did show how I did it a few posts down from that

[wispy tartan]

Few posts down from where? 😛

I saved this pic a long time ago

[warped pumice]

On the back corner is a post holding the floor flat that I rotated a few 15's to make it look mobile

[wispy tartan]

Hmm

[wispy tartan]

Okay right so you do build from the bottom upwards then

[verbal horizon]

Thanks mate 🍻

[warped pumice]

But then Captain gave me a better idea.

[wispy tartan]

This did not end up right, the structure was too high up

[wispy tartan]

This one doesn't really seem attached hence why I went with yours originally

I'm quite picky on that 😛

[warped pumice]

I did start with the box first then if you see the bottom of the winch on the first go I had to lift it a few inches with triangle floor peices

[wispy tartan]

This might help me because now I know kinda a height referance

[warped pumice]

Yessur glad to help , me harty

[wispy tartan]

Basically then the wooden pole alligned with the bottom side of the crane

Thanks 🙂

[pastel stream]

but I have a 45 angle hidden in this barrel

When is the building comp deadline?

[warped pumice]

the 11th is the last turn in day I believe

[icy thistle]

Depends on region, they have the local time in announcement as its the 12th for me, I live in the future

Im basically fry

[ashen citrus]

Don't suppose you have the winning numbers handy by chance do you? 😁

[icy thistle]

6 7 😬

[warped pumice]

Hope to have my brain explode from seeing some of these builds in the Comp

[bronze oak]

Oh dude. I can guarantee, this will likely be the only game I play for a while (aside from those for videos). My brother and I have a goal to make a great location. I've got a name for a tavern planned already, I've got the name for the inn, all of it. XD ✨️I'm prepping✨️

[pale sequoia]

I'm definitely not going to be ready in time for that lol

[tribal moss]

somehow i managed to have a completely free swinging barrel. but i can't reproduce it. did i somehow do some magic there?

[tacit sail]

what yall think?

[proven spear]

I love it

[tacit sail]

ty!

here is the view

[warped pumice]

Does the sun ever shine lol

[tacit sail]

it does

its just night in my world xD

[upper narwhal]

work in progress... learning the editor and tiles is so much fun

[tacit sail]

I like the ramp as the roof

I was thinking of using that

looks nice

[upper narwhal]

you need double of them .. 1 a little moved in or outside and to the side to close all gaps

[warped pumice]

OMG with one chat suggestion today the build has gone off the rails lol. Can't wait to send to dude and then post here. INSANE!

[tacit sail]

got it

ty!

I cleared my whole

island

there are no trees

[upper narwhal]

np .. else you will get lights shining out of the area inside

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-3Lhwt4YRA ??

right now i should be playing Path of Exile or design hideouts there ... but this demo got me a bit derailed from my plans

[tacit sail]

I built my base with a huge tower

then a castle

and now this house on a big rock

[upper narwhal]

most likely will move the house to a different location ... learned so much since i put down the foundation for it

[tough carbon]

Mine is a square block, with no windows just a door and flooring as a roof 😭

[upper narwhal]

thats amazing 😉

[tacit sail]

every base is beautiful in its own way

amazing

since you have a block

now add another block connected

and then add another tall one

add the roof

and there you go

[tawdry phoenix]

use piers if you need to refresh stability of floors .it seems to allow green level fro floors of the piers ifthey are suppported

[tough carbon]

Y'all hella creative, I will do that!

[void fable]

Damn good work - Should have an award for this!

[tawdry phoenix]

i got carried away finding roug h"max " height . now im trying to find uses for each floor

not entering into comp just been having fun with limit testing

[warped pumice]

Assign a diferent language to each floor, BOOM, Tower of Babel

[tawdry phoenix]

haha 🙂

i have a kitchen ,dining floor , come crew quarters . apothcaries shack on the off shoot

[ashen citrus]

Don't walk under it!

[tacit sail]

Make a tavern floor

[tawdry phoenix]

tavern floors* you mean surely

like an actual pub at bottom then a private one for the crew

[warped pumice]

I ended up amking a whole spanish fort and governors house with adjacent root cellar and mine attached to back of governors house. man what a ride

[ashen citrus]

Is there a dance floor, so you can romance the governor's daughter?

[warped pumice]

Got a special I won't mention that will thrill for sure. Have seen nothing like it so far this whole chat roll

Yea it is in the library

that's where I sweep her off her feet

[void fable]

We tried this a while back - but gave up to move to other attractions

[warped pumice]

Keep my library clean and neat and alphabatized.

[tawdry phoenix]

jebus. what did you use for books?

just 1x 1?

love seeing everyones creativity

[ashen citrus]

Bound with the skin of his enemies?

[warped pumice]

Small wall sections unlocked and turned sideways. hide arched ones between square ones for diffrent looking bindings some needed a stick to look more book like on the end but results are good

Plus ink bowl and pen lol

[upper narwhal]

or a block with just windows and no doors 😉

[pastel stream]

just gonna leave us hanging huh?

[warped pumice]

Oh yea it is that epic

Enjoy these tidbits while I cook, magn!!

[upper narwhal]

thats my cannon 😉

[proven spear]

oh! next ideas - well and cemetery

[warped pumice]

It's actually parts of many different cannon styles.

[river portal]

How?

[visual jetty]

Not seeing enough drydocks

[upper narwhal]

yep - not many different options to design a cannon if you dont want to micromanage with little pieces

[upper narwhal]

now put a ship under construction in there 🙂

[old valley]

I tried

[visual jetty]

I actually tried to get the ketch up in there

[upper narwhal]

me 2 and failed 😉

[visual jetty]

They don't seem to want to go on land much and I didnt want to break it all

[ashen citrus]

Would be nice if we could dig deeper in the water. Carve out a channel for the ship to dock in.

[visual jetty]

You can press "/" to turn off ui at least

[ashen citrus]

Mace FTW

[tacit sail]

the small house earlier

[calm sparrow]

i cant finish my build, but i made this, i died here 3 times btw

[upper narwhal]

nice one - wanted to do a spring too

and as i could not build far enough into the water, i tried to get the water to me to build something like venice completely in the water - but got problems with not beeing able to build at some point and demolished it again

[tribal moss]

You have to switch to US keyboard layout to use the "/" apparenty, german one has no effect. That helps a lot to turn of the UI, thanks Mace!

[warped pumice]

Heckin yea I did something similer lol that's pretty nice though has a 100 year old look to it

[calm sparrow]

nice house

[warped pumice]

Love the pig pen

My pigs despawned so I will have to trap again for the photo later lol

[calm sparrow]

i cant get here )

[rigid pilot]

Didn't they say taming was on the way?

👀

[warped pumice]

Not sure, did not hear that one.

[rigid pilot]

Lord I want tamed pigs and dodo

[warped pumice]

Heck yea that's pretty nice right there

[upper narwhal]

thats the area where i did make water out of the strand ... too bad foundation problems and the ships still knew it was land and dont want to go there stopped me for now

[pastel stream]

it's on the clay so looks like mud 🙂

[upper narwhal]

but you can place lights down there

in the water - looing interessting

but it gives me time to think of stuff while I'm farming

[merry pollen]

Castillo de San Marcos inspired fort outpost is coming along. slowly ;-;. Added gated side dock, and new empty area will become barracks.

had to move bonfire to center of courtyard for build space lol

[ashen citrus]

Can you move the bonfire without having to destroy it? I never thought to look at that.

[merry pollen]

I broke it

[warped pumice]

No you have to destroy it

[ashen citrus]

Ah! Ok. Good to know.

Does that wreck your buildings in the process?

[warped pumice]

but you lose nothing, just can't build lots of items without it. So you can move it arounf to make your base bigger and to build in outskirts areas

[ashen citrus]

Nice

[warped pumice]

Once something is built though it stays so you can go ahead and move it

[ashen citrus]

That's actually super helpful

[warped pumice]

You bet, my dood

[merry pollen]

front of base is looking better too

[warped pumice]

Respectable base right there

[merry pollen]

Thank you o7

Crossection. Any tips or tricks for muting torch light? or making less harsh?

Ive been trying to use candles where I can cuz in small spaces the torches are intense. It may be settings on my end, just curious.

[pastel stream]

build first and then fix your lighting is my suggestion, I just place down the standing torch where ever I'm working so I can see every detail then fix with candles/wall lights after

[merry pollen]

makes sense. Preesh 👊

NOW THAT IS A BED!
Great detail!

Ours is almost done! 😛 @jade lava

[spark valve]

almost finish the Pirate Tavern !!😮‍💨

[spark valve]

1st floor Pirate Tavern near to finish .. what U think guys !!!

[fervent mist]

What i want to know is how do yall get such a large radius to build? 😯

And i would like to borrow some creativity.. i mean i seen some made a chandelier out of nothing! Thats insane!

[ashen citrus]

You can move the bonfire, without it destroying anything you've placed already. The bonfire only has to be in range to build specific items, after that you can move it around as needed.

[icy thistle]

Don't need a bonfire to build except maybe one bench, its more for building and crafting from storage, rested bonus etc... can build the whole island without a bonfire if wanted

[warped pumice]

Yea need a bonfire to build a LOT of the items

[icy thistle]

Like? Genuinely curious thought was just the ship stuff

[primal storm]

All decorations etc has to be bonfire radius

building blocks can be anywhere

[fallow trellis]

Port base finally done. My attempt to get the vibe of Tortuga from Pirates of the Caribbean for I love it's "organized" chaos. But can only do much.
Every house is accessible by stairs. But no interior.

Hope you guys like it!

[primal storm]

Looking good man.

[icy thistle]

Ah that explains it i dont decorate except at first base for rested makes sense since they actually interact with bonfirre unlike anything else apart from ship benches?

[calm sparrow]

cool, it was in my mind to build ) but only small Fort

[primal storm]

I went with too big and detailed to finish the way i want lol

[fallow trellis]

If only the deadline is longer and i had more day offs

I'll still continue building on this, but my entry for the contest is what I built up to now

Building here is fun and relaxing

[primal storm]

This.. and if we could have done 1minute video instead of 30seconds.

This is just the canal entrance to my city for smaller boats etc.

[icy thistle]

just dupe or use the engine thingy like most big builds

[primal storm]

I farmed all the materials for mine and Tara traded me hes extra resources which helped a ton.

[fervent mist]

Weird, mine kees saying that i cant build outside the circle

Maybe ive only been selecting bonfire dependend stuff

[primal storm]

Crafting stations, decorations etc has to be inside bonfire radius. Building blocks can be anywhere

[fervent mist]

Aah i see

Will try later, this game's settlement building is amazing, probably will play it for the coming 10 years haha i still play fallout 4 purely for the building

[primal storm]

Yeah building and use of creativity and imagination is so fun. I mostly play competitive FPS games but building and designing in games is the best.

[fervent mist]

I agree

Question tho, do trees respawn? Because ive been deforesting an island lol

[fervent mist]

Very impressive! 🤯👍✅

[calm sparrow]

i like how u make destructed tower part, i also use this but like it was damaged a bit

[icy thistle]

It will tell you, like workbench and cooking fire dont need bonfire just checking myself as not fully scienced it before

[icy thistle]

They do not

[old valley]

Nice! I feel like we have a lot of similarities 🤣

[solid slate]

The client’s profile picture is currently in progress. I’m working on it and making sure everything turns out just right

[fallow trellis]

We can only do much on the available materials. Also that idea of in-progress ship is so nice

[old valley]

Yeah I can't wait for the materials shown in the latest trailer!

[fervent mist]

Splendid! That means i have a new mission, clear every tree off the small island 😁💪

[fervent mist]

The ship being constructed is a very nice touch! 😯😯

[old valley]

I'll do some finishing touches today and then submit it

[calm sparrow]

who also will submit building on 11 ?)

[crisp dome]

You will overwhelm Hikari. 😁

[old valley]

I gotta do it today sadly, no time anymore

[upper narwhal]

a restaurant in germany 😉

[verbal horizon]

How many people get sea sick? 😂

[upper narwhal]

a lot i guess .. from the prices alone

[crisp dome]

From the seafood or the perspective? 😂

[verbal horizon]

Seafood 😂

[crisp dome]

I wonder how many people who built a tavern or a pub will host drinking nights after the competition? 🙂

[verbal horizon]

Drinks on me, but no seafood 😂

[old valley]

Enough room for everyone

[verbal horizon]

Might be a little laggy 😂

[old valley]

Yeah I have the same issue, my base is a solid 30 fps 🤣

[verbal horizon]

Someone said try turning down the lighting setting, not tried it myself as I get around 70-100

[crisp dome]

Because of @proven spear I know collecting shells on the beach will keep me in the trading business for sure...
"She sells seashells on the sea shore..."
But I might start shipping rum too... 😏

[verbal horizon]

Today I need to work on the 30 second video, God knows how that's going to work

[verbal horizon]

You trading items with people lol?

[crisp dome]

Badly, I can tell... from my own experience. 30 sec is not enough for anything. 😭

[crisp dome]

I'm even advertising it. Just not often enough. 😅

[old valley]

I had this a few days ago lol

[verbal horizon]

I know right haha, but come on who came up with the 30 seconds 🙈 😂

[verbal horizon]

Bahaha they should make a channel for you

[crisp dome]

In the hype I was specialized on stone and wood, but some evil anti-traders dropped the infinite resources trick and that didn't do me good. So now I'm more focused on rare and quality (epic or lvl8) goods.

[old valley]

I'm still not sure if I'm making a video

[verbal horizon]

infinite resources?

[crisp dome]

I could sell you the secret, but I won't. No fun in it. 😏

[verbal horizon]

It's not needed but my problem is only a video can showcase my build

[old valley]

Ah, screenshots do well enough for me

[verbal horizon]

Well I did see someone building in creative mode so yeah 🤷‍♂️

[old valley]

That's a little unfair to the rest of us 😅

[crisp dome]

I would love if the moderators would open a dedicated RP channel. But I'm not a frontline character. I'm actually pretty shy in the limelight. 😅

[verbal horizon]

Tell me about it, I built my base solo with 117 hours in

https://klipy.com/gifs/mine-finding-nemo-2

I was like... yes, pearls, gunpowder, there are so many important things to find and collect... AND NOW I'M RUNNING through beaches collecting SEASHELLS xD xD xD

[verbal horizon]

I will do the talking and you do the magic tricks 😂

[verbal horizon]

Love the Bio - He who sees too much, ends up not fitting in anywhere.

[crisp dome]

I didn't know the creative mode is available in the demo. There's another trick. But let me say this as an open world player: if you develop in-game faster than intended (and balanced) and become a power player that's only brings you to boredom if your do faster than dev making content for you. 🤷
So not all shiny is gold.

[old valley]

That is true, normally I really don't care if people do it lol. But for a contest it can be unfair

[crisp dome]

Remind me to sell stamina consumables for your marathons.
I'm all for supporting noble causes! ❤️

[verbal horizon]

It’s not available yet. Someone was using it and made a YouTube video showing it. Yeah, I agree, it’s kind of like playing on a modded server with higher rates, it spoils the fun of the game.

[proven spear]

there is nothing left to do, but wait for offers on the Internet - 200 seashells for 10 bucks 🤣

[verbal horizon]

You know people would probably buy them as well 😂

[crisp dome]

On release we are definitely planning to start a multiplayer RP server. Until I try to get out as much as I can from the demo with creativity. Chaining together few 4ppl servers in a story is a good start I think. So guys, please think about filing up your taps, prepare for guests... if not all the same time but in small groups that's not an issue.

[proven spear]

psssst, hey kid, wanna buy some... SEASHELLS

🤣

Just popping the shop for a redbull then I will take a look

The (live) version, without the instruments and the rapping.

[verbal horizon]

Oh Ren, Yeah I like his music

Also a fan of NF

Strange name for a rapper tho 🤷‍♂️

[proven spear]

the song is 🔥

[visual zinc]

Greetings fellow Scallywags! First time posting.👋 While on the topics of songs, I thought I'd contribute. I sing with a quintet and part of our repertoire is a sea shanty called One More Pull. It's based on the performance of a group called the Longest Johns and the Wellermen. In order to sing it we needed to break down the parts and I made our own learning tracks. To be clear, they do it WAY better but I thought I'd share anyway. Enjoy! I hope you are all enjoying Windrose as much as I am.

[nimble bay]

the final bastion has been built, i think I've finally placed the last block costing stone...

[crisp dome]

It's beautiful! ❤️
Welcome here!
(My associates might going to capture you to be the bard in our tavern. I thought I give you a fair warning.)

[calm sparrow]

i dont like my build anymore ) its cool and detailed but just now when contest end i have better idea and no time

[crisp dome]

Still make it happen!

[old valley]

Haha always thinking of improvements after you 'finish' it

[calm sparrow]

its my final build ahah

[crisp dome]

I posted mine one day before @primal storm helped me remapping the HUD button. But it was fun to build and nobody can take that away.

[mental spruce]

just waiting for better weather to take the overview shot for my submission now

[crisp dome]

Whenever I had time to sit down to make pictures it was raining or night time fog. 😒

[verbal horizon]

Would love to build something like that, But on a larger scale. Would need more than just me farming stone tho 😂

[calm sparrow]

only one room thati can add in screenshots, all other need rebuild and no time

[crisp dome]

An actual airplane brings up the question of a crowd... That's begging for if you don't kill all the pirates on an island, only capture them far away from the spawn point.... do new ones respawn at the camp or only if the original ones die?

I need a full pen of evil pirates...
I want to build a Colosseum!

[verbal horizon]

Something like this?

[verbal horizon]

The lighting is so good in this game

[calm sparrow]

yea

i just statisfied of this one - its simple but with lights looks cool

[verbal horizon]

Sometimes simple is best

[verbal horizon]

What this game needs is a photo mode. You would press ESC and select Photo Mode, which would take you back into the game and allow you to move around freely like a camera.

[verbal horizon]

Now you’ve given me an idea lol. My wall is 3 wide, I could make it wider and open it up inside. 😆

[calm sparrow]

oh u make wood roofing

[verbal horizon]

Yeah, You not seen my base build?

[calm sparrow]

i dont like that rotation its to much

[calm sparrow]

i thing i do, i checked lots entries

[verbal horizon]

That's the front

Here is the Video #🎨│creative message

[calm sparrow]

for me it more like living port area, church cool, and looks clean, people living here care about city )

[verbal horizon]

Yep, If they make a mess they walk the plank 😂

[calm sparrow]

mine people dont care much, they even dont repair tower after attack

[verbal horizon]

Take some hostages and make them fix it 😂

[calm sparrow]

so i can submit only 5 screenshots ?

[keen yoke]

Sent in my submissions and video, this is what i ended up going with for screenshots, and my absolutely horribly 30 second video lol. but i tried. best of luck to everyone https://youtu.be/CJ5Rt88owVQ?si=SdhLlVGB7ot60uYZ

[lost lotus]

i'm so far from finished but here's a view so far

was thinking of shortening the pier and most definitely getting rid of the far right, was a test limit thing anyway

[keen yoke]

depends if youre going for more realism or you just have a creative vision

[lost lotus]

kinda in the middle, the main part of the building is made of logs you can sit on then i started making art in various places lol

[visual zinc]

That looks like a complete blast!

the unfortunate mantra of every builder playing every building game ever lol....I hear you.

[random swallow]

I think you need a bigger dock

[lime oxide]

I built a similar harbor XD The problem is, since you can't nautize, the ships just drift away after a while XD Totally annoying XD

[verbal horizon]

Oh the music video, Yeah been there many times, but never to that pub

[visual zinc]

HAHA sorry....text order can be so unfortunate sometimes 😛

yes I meant the video

good times

[verbal horizon]

I'm half asleep today still haha But yeah looks like a great time right

[lime oxide]

I also hope there will be upgrades for larger ships so that you have cannons on the deck and another level below. And what I'm also missing are the dungeons on the ship. Especially since it's a game about ships like pirate ships or something XD they simply have to be included.

[visual zinc]

So many cool things that could be! - free build cam - creative mode - ability to toggle object collision - scale ability - rotate on different axis ability - Alll the key things any serious game builder tends to ask for. Not an easy task to implement from a UI and coding perspective.
One can always hope though! 😄

Has anyone built anything inside a cave yet?

[random swallow]

can you

[visual zinc]

I was able to in order to reach copper mines on the ceiling.

what I wasn't sure about is when I destroyed the foundations, if the returned resources fell through the floor

[random swallow]

nice

[nimble bay]

found a use for the final bastion: a little bathhouse

[hybrid canopy]

How did you do that?! KEWL!

[calm sparrow]

P - for free move and play with it, there are rocks inside rocks

[primal storm]

Always build in layers. I use free move a lot. Especially when doing decorations and in this case decorations can be done with building blocks. Adjusting pieces one by one. I hope they introduce a real free move where we can modify the angles in custom amounts X Y Z and degrees

[warped pumice]

Free move is the best feature so far imo

the axis control would realy be cool though

[visual zinc]

yup for sure, but there are still SOME collisions that don't quite turn off I find.....unless you have discovered a way! Any advice or suggestions?

P is the snap toggle yes?

[warped pumice]

yes p is snap toggle. I have found that when it gets to be slightly off you can hold "Z" and lower items or raise them to an extent but yes sometimes the parts just don't land.

[calm sparrow]

yea, just play with position and move up down and forward

[upper narwhal]

now make a sauna next to this one filled with smoke 🙂

[warped pumice]

also found that if you have a spot between two things and you can't center your item cause it falls to the floor on free look, just place some sticks between the two items then lock on the stick. Once placed between the items you can remove the stick if visable and the item will be held in place by it's left and right item.

[ashen citrus]

Part of the ship. Part of the crew.

[nimble bay]

neat idea, it's now a steam bath

[visual zinc]

I suspect the ocean surface is a volume that extends the entire world map...so if you dig deep enough you will always eventually hit water. Has anyone tried testing this deeper in one of the islands?

and if this IS the case, I have a question for the devs. Would there be any plan or other volumes that cut into the water one so that building sub-surface is possible?

deeper in land?

[lunar stump]

You can't dig to the water table everywhere. I think its locked in to something like -6 m from surface. Shown here. I was not able to dig deeper than that on the hillside.

[visual zinc]

Ah. Sounds sort of like Valheim. There is the top surface, then something like 30 units down you hit a 'bedrock' surface that prohibits further digging?

that sort of idea?

[lost lotus]

double rainbow with ui off and in inventory

[visual zinc]

haha neat!

that's an odd bug

[lost lotus]

i just wish my building was finished on the outside

ui off out of inventory

it's like trying to go into the map without ui on, just a blank screen, seems like it takes all the skybox and illumination from it away to save resources

also, love how you can place lights underwater

[visual zinc]

that is pretty cool, especially since it takes on the property of the water density and goes all spooky green

[lost lotus]

okay, last one, i'm sorry for semi-spam, no ui, in inventory

[kind cloud]

Love the Game

[bronze oak]

Out of idle curiosity. Does anybody know how the EA/final map is going to look? What countries will be on it, etc?

I see the loading map, it's obviously a map of partial West Indies. But I'm curious as to if anybody knows at this point what the map will for sure look like. Because if Puerto Rico IS in the game, that's where my brother and I are looking to build. If it's not, y'know.

Just getting a base of what will be possible and what won't.

[spice garden]

Taverne du Port 🥰 .

Entrepot du Port 🥰 .

Cour du Port 🥰 > Market + Enclots at Dodo + Bank + house of the guard .

Outside the base + Space of Cultures 🥰 ; More than waiting for the EA ; personally , there are missing > carpets + beautiful furniture + defense stakes ...

[obtuse urchin]

That's my take on the crate 😄

[warped pumice]

yes about 6 shovels down

[dense ruin]

Devs have done a really nice job balancing ambient lighting, sky and illumination from placeables.

[pastel stream]

Yes but there is bedrock

for good reason with the amount of big builds in here and one bloke checking them all lol

[crisp dome]

I told you: you're gonna overwhelm Hikari.

[mellow horizon]

[crisp dome]

You can turn off the HUD with "/".

[mellow horizon]

thank you

[crisp dome]

Quick question: can you build stuff while sitting on a chair?

Also, can you destroy decorations with musket fire? I know you can damage your house with a cannon but I'm planning to make a sharpshooter competition if this one works. 😁

[spark valve]

Pirate Tavern finished !!! 🍻 🍻

[warped pumice]

Everyone seems to be thinking inside the box, but just a note, this game does have mytholgy and mysticism in it. Don't forget to add those elements and not just "EveryTown Pirate Cove" type places. Cannons and working winches are sweet, and so are luvered and latice work, But I want to see some "Holy Sh!te, How did you do that?!" up in here.

Very much a WIP, but can anyone help me name my pirate fortress?

I probably should've waiting til it was daytime, but i've been doing this for over 12 horus and i've forgetten to eat. goddam this game and my ADHD have synced up perfectly

[lilac heron]

Weathered Bones Fortress?

[crisp dome]

Huh...?

Double Huh...?

Please don't demystify Alfred and Phil. It's really not polite. 😐

[warped pumice]

That's the umteenth time I have seen enemies in cages....so, sorry if it does not make me say "Holy Sh!te, how did you do that?!" Close but still inside the box....literally hahaha

LET PHYL GO!! not alfred though he is a jerk

[harsh dock]

Maelstrom Rock

[dense osprey]

We've already got a designated whorehouse, does that count?

[icy thistle]

Big pirate Cove builds get all the reactions so makes sense to go for that, quantity impresses over design ingenuity, I've seen some cool intricate designs noone reacts on 🤷

[warped pumice]

Your talking to a guy that made a brothel Day 1...so ehh

[verbal horizon]

😂

[harsh dock]

First floor is mostly done, now to work on the second... I've clearcut half an island for this...

there's also soo many decorations clustered together that ive had to lower the game quality to save my potato pc from dying...

[crisp dome]

So, a full size maze/dungeon with enemies and treasure chests, with jumping on platforms... Does that any closer to the edge of the box? 😅

[warped pumice]

Now thats what the eff I am talking about, HELL YEA!!

[crisp dome]

I quietly dropped clues almost every day about it. 😂

[harsh dock]

i have a miniature maze under my main base specifically to store my rum and spoils, i get lost everytime...

[proven spear]

omg, I just did that in my game play 🤣 wanted to ask if it looks good xD I saw some people doing the idea here and I love it 😄

If you place a wood frame before you place the winch you can make the illusion of nothing holding the bottom of winch crate. Changes it drasticley

[proven spear]

yeah, it looks better diagonally

[warped pumice]

angle will not metter with frame in thats a before frame in and after frame in pic

[warped pumice]

Creative techniques, very cool.

FYI, for whoever may need it, Torches burn under water.

[crisp dome]

Did I see that people can sit on an underwater chair or was it just a glitch?

[warped pumice]

Confirmed

No drowning either

[crisp dome]

Can you build while sitting?

[warped pumice]

No sorry

[nova cedar]

can you build while under water

[crisp dome]

I wonder if there's any way to lock yourself in a room underwater. Being in a locked room in UE5 sometimes gives you funny things.

[crisp dome]

You can't while swimming and you can't while sitting.

But if you jump from very high I think you can get deeper... If you can place a chair deeper it is even funnier.

[nova cedar]

Tara thats what i was thinking

[proper crow]

You can build while standing in the dinghy though - used that a couple times

Can probably put a chair down there, will try later
