[upper narwhal]

not a good job to work like this - but its ok... most problems is the player not beein transparent 90% of the time as i try to put floortiles in front of me

tried to do the escape-tunnel from my 1st "city" into and found out that the whole city would have been at least 1 tile or better 2 tiles up from the streetlevel i had

and i just saw that i hit the pier-pole that did hold the 😉 its now gone - so no delorean dmc 12 for a while or until i reload an old save ^^

[upper narwhal]

try done for now - made it from the house in the back up to where i stand .. hopefully rest does work also

[crisp dome]

Rumor said there is nothing on those islands... but I see... RESOURCES!!!!! 😝 😝 😝

[outer remnant]

at long last!

[silk oracle]

Some of you have decided to dig into the files to view or mod. Refrain from posting content not playable in the current demo. Content from last Alpha in Summer of 2025 is fine.

[sick shadow]

Still a W.I.P.

[visual jetty]

A small simple french Lugger I modeled to practice texturing

Also a dutch galliot wip (roblox dude for scale)

[inner saddle]

Where are you getting Aal That Ammo

[crisp dome]

The copper bullets you can make yourself. The iron ones came from I think the Captain of the island pirates(?).. or the final Blackbeard quest. one of them.

[inner saddle]

Oh sorry I meant blackpowder

[crisp dome]

I thought my weapon merchant will be more impressive than the bullets. 😅

[crisp dome]

Every pirate in the camps drops them.

[inner saddle]

I've spent all mine and the guys dont response anymore at the camps

[silk oracle]

Can load other servers up and farm them but can just keep farming the cloth n rope bales at those camps - gunpowder respawns in those. Also just find that underground cavity at the start on each server gives gunpowder up to 10ish per as a work around.

[crisp dome]

They are still here for me...

I finished all quests.

[crisp dome]

Or he can just buy (trade) from me. 😊

I'm working so hard to run a business here! The pirate's life is hard...

I have the stock, the ship, the support personnel for loading... only need the kind customers with special requests. 🥰

on pvp #💬│windrose-chat message

[hybrid canopy]

It doesn't NEED one. There's no PVP in Valheim, and its loved by tons of players...

[icy thistle]

I personally like pvp i just feel this game isn't built with that in mind and changing it to try and accommodate pvprs hurts more than benefits the game (yes even toggle on off and pvp servers) there's existing pvp pirate games anyway

[hybrid canopy]

Even Elden Ring has cheaters and all that toxicity that comes with PVP... not every game needs that :/

[upper narwhal]

as long as i am in no way forced to play with the "pvp orientated audience" i am fine ... for each its own.

[tough bluff]

Fellas. This channel is NOT the channel to have the age old endless discussion about PvP

Glad to see a PvP discussion that ISNT hurling abuse at each other however still not the place

[slow pivot]

I'll let you know when mine breaks. LOL

@silk oracle what do you think about a separate role play channel?

[crisp dome]

I can replace them, buy I can't accept repair job. My merchandise were made by ancient masters who's work the humble me can never be able to reproduce. These great master crafts were.. donated without repair instructions. But if you are emotionally attached to yer trusted battle gear we will see what can we do...

[slow pivot]

I think they ripped you off and now you are selling fakes. LOL

[crisp dome]

In that case I will visit them again... with my cannons. I'm very good with negotiating for full refunds... people say.... 🤔

[upper narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sWiK4CDg38 works for now ... but entrance needs to get down into the cellar of the building next to the starting-point (into the cellar that does not exist atm) and the old floor i used to not drown should change also

For context I was trying to get my friend to install the demo, but he doesn't have the storage for it.

[sacred relic]

added some detail to the stairs

[steady yacht]

They can't uninstall that other game they never play because the database of their favorite server keeps crashing every 2 months?

[autumn wharf]

I just discovered your name is not from a game a played but a real pirate name ahah

[slow pivot]

Indeed!

[steady yacht]

I always thought of her less as a pirate and more of a real boss lady that knows how to get (REDACTED) done and take care of her business!

[proven spear]

the reloading part is kinda done here 😄

also started the crew's chilling house xD still gotta do the bar part downstairs

[obtuse urchin]

Thank you all for your votes! ❤️ 🥳

[crisp dome]

Gratz Ray! 😊 👍

[warped pumice]

Lol they gave crews choice to a dude with 25 stars. Way too take away the win i really worked my butt off for Windrose. Strange way to do it. But grats to the 25 star guy I guess and grats to all the winners. Glad they picked skull rock for devs though. That was a cool build.

[marsh sorrel]

yet there were 91 stars or 88 stars and yet dont think they were chosen

[warped pumice]

91 stars?! Where?! Shout out to whoever beat my 67 stars. Guess I never saw those builds. Or the stars were somehow hidden behind low heart counts. Any way. Grats big winners!! Build masters baby!

[calm linden]

dude you didnt get it, or? you won with 140 hearts. you didnt wan in the categorie Crews choise because you already won in another categorie. so the guy with the next highest star count win crew choice. or do you wann win two categories with the sam price

[calm linden]

yes your 67 stars are the highest score

congratulation to ALL those builders. awesome stuff. Amazing

Sorry, but I don't understand your criticism here. it looks like everybody submitted five pictures and some submitted a video up to 30 secs. Thats what they have to send in. In addition, everyone had the opportunity to advertise their submission in any way on this channel.
Take our submission. We posted some screenshots here because we didn't finish, and the amazing community encouraged us to submit anyway.
So did we have an advantage just because we posted different pictures here?

[silk oracle]

All the Builders did a great job. Just putting the effort in alone to submit something was greatly appreciated.

[silver pollen]

All I've been looking forward to was just seeing other's ideas. might as well throw mine in there too.

[icy thistle]

You complain about not winning twice? Lol

[warped pumice]

No no not two categories but my team was hoping for the star win, and we got a heart win. It's all good. Win is a win.

And if you look at the numbers, we did win twice, we're just not allowed to lol

[icy thistle]

The dev pick would be the 👌ill have to check that build sometime

[swift oriole]

All I can say in response to this is that next time it's worth differentiating between solo and team builds) also mine now have 143 but gg

[icy thistle]

They did didnt they?

Maybe dont have popular votes next time, just have judges

[swift oriole]

There were a lot of really good works, so I think a lot of people will go to the next competition

[swift oriole]

only 5 places and all for total number of hearts otherwise there would be two lists for solo and for teams

[icy thistle]

So 10 winners? In the popular vote?

[swift oriole]

I think it would be more enjoyable, considering the large number of works and participants, everyone benefits

[icy thistle]

They did differentiate the builds through just im guessing team builds got more votes? Big builds always get the popular vote which is why id prefer judges as people just like size

[icy thistle]

5 is too much imo so 10 would dilute the prestige even more but just 1 persons opinion (mine) 🤷

[swift oriole]

You're right about the prestige among a small number of owners, but that's not as valuable to me as just votes and connections with the developers. I'd like to work on buildings and locations that could be included in the game for everyone.

[icy thistle]

Winners get to connect with the devs about the game?

[proper crow]

Well done to ye all! I'll be posting me picks for builds of Most Excellent Piracy later

[swift oriole]

No, but I think the chances will be higher this way)

[obtuse urchin]

I would also liked to see more of certain builds. Some were too big to be represented with only five pics and 30sec of video.

[icy thistle]

Big builds should have its own one winner category, they just dominate over solos through amount, 1 group, 1 solo, 1 dev choice

[obtuse urchin]

More categories would be nice in future. That way it diversifies the builds. Have realistic, free form or fantasy and other categories.

[crisp dome]

I want a price for the best trader... Dev, please! 😁

[icy thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-patrick-star-broke-poor-gif-14729256

Some people are just super active in the discord, not sure its intentional advertising but does shine the light more, why I think judges might be a better bet than a popular vote 🤷 or just not have competition at all and just enjoy people posting

[old valley]

I think judges would be better as well because most people probably don't even scroll down all the way to look at all builds and rather just see the first one or two and give them an upvote. At the bottom there were some crazy good builds but the difference in upvotes was way too high.

We'll see what the future brings, I'll keep building anyway

I posted my build on reddit, got 200+ upvotes but only 40 here. Didn't really help 🤣 🤷‍♂️

[icy thistle]

Im just waiting for ea to build, done all the sciencing i can and now i just want to build where it means a bit more normal a place holder, oh and all the new pieces lol 😍

[calm linden]

But turn it around. It didn't say anywhere that it wasn't allowed. And you're active in this forum, too. You even posted something here yourself on February 22nd. Yes, it was something different, but you were following what others were doing.

You built something fantastic and unfortunately lost by a few votes.

But to immediately criticize the devs/mods because their own rules were supposedly broken isn't very nice.

I'm curious to see what you build next, because your castle and the story behind it are fascinating. Even though I preferred the other pirate-themed projects and they got my vote.

[icy thistle]

Should've just talked in creative every 5 mins lol

[old valley]

Yeah I'm going to wait for EA too, the new pieces look amazing

[old valley]

Haha I guess

[icy thistle]

My problem is I remember how much fun I had building in the playtest and keep wanting for the old pieces but I racked up 150hrs so played out the demo for me anyway

[calm linden]

Wouldn't it be a good idea for the winners of this competition to be the judges in the next one? And then there could also be a community winner.

[old valley]

Could work, but we need a theme. This one was all over the place

Had people building modern battleships and trains, krakens and some forts/villages lol

[obtuse urchin]

What? You are suggesting that I have won work? 😱

That wasn't in the contract Sir!

[calm linden]

Excuse me, Captain, but you've caught and penned a few boars, run a ship aground on a rock, cleared an entire island, founded a church, and so on. I think your time as a pirate is over.

[obtuse urchin]

Aww...shit. I haven't even found the One Piece yet

[calm linden]

Well, old man, that's how it is. Now the younger generation is taking over.

[obtuse urchin]

First you want to give me work and now you want to retire me? Make up your mind!

[icy thistle]

feel there might be subconcious bias to friends maybe, let devs decide or people that arent chatting all day in discord like me lol, theres a ton of entries ive never seen comment or interact in here so maybe them.

[obtuse urchin]

Nah, I would be up for it. But being neutral with my friends would be very hard indeed.

[calm linden]

I hope you'll feel differently about it in a few days and that your passion will be rekindled. You've built something really amazing and shouldn't give up.
And yes, I'm 100% with you on the deadline issue.

[exotic osprey]

Our team didnt come close to winning but we had a lot of fun and learnt a lot in the process. The competition motivated us to have a go and without it we probably wouldnt have got so much enjoyment from the demo. Thank you to those who did vote for our entry, at least some folk liked it! For us it was always about the journey and we enjoyed the challenge. Congrats to the overall winners, many inspiring builds highlighting true talent and creativity. I salute you all

[faint quartz]

Scottish Viking had most hears & stars :P, but only got the hearts award 😛

[old valley]

Can only win once 👌

[faint quartz]

A movie can win best picture, best actor, etc...should be able to win both

[old valley]

The reward was the same though

[crisp dome]

Comes with the fame! 😂

[exotic torrent]

A Participation Trophy is still a Trophy

[crisp dome]

Then give me the "best trader" award! I deserve it (probably 😅 ).

[visual zinc]

I have a question for anyone who knows. If you destroy a bonfire after building around it, do the structures degrade or disappear over time? Does the terrain return to it's original state? I suppose another way to ask the question is are all changes/additions made to a world server permanent?

[rain sequoia]

decided to upgrade the pier crane

Drawbridge and portcullis 🙂

pirate king!

[candid heath]

Thank you all for supporting my build! I wasn't going to submit until I was talked into by the VC. @rigid void @tight vault @warped pumice @old valley and everyone else!

[crisp dome]

As long as I spent my time in game nothing "regenerated", except the stones and copper in the mines and few bits of collectable resources on the shore. The bonfire is basically only a tool for you to use your resources to build in a range without having everything in your pocket. Not a place holder. You also need it for some tables to work. If you destroy it those tables won't work until you build another in reach.

Oh, yeah... The animals and the pirates are respawning too.. with their lovely farmable gunpowder sack in the middle of their camps. (But traders don't give out their secrets... so I didn't say that part out loud.)

[old valley]

Very much deserved!

[crisp dome]

So Mr Master Builder... You were talked into it, right?!
May I talk you into some RP building when the EA comes and we can have proper multiplayer servers too?? 😏

[candid heath]

Sure, I'm always down to help building, not sure about my RP skills but if I can make an outhouse out of a gate and alchemy pot then I for sure can give it a go

[crisp dome]

I'm trying to find out who is looking for RP (even casual) and who is here just for solo pirating. I'm a curious little creature. 😁

[rose rock]

One week of building. This game is the GOAT!!!!

#🎨│creative message

Please DM these next time. 🙏

[subtle arch]

Oh sorry

[proven moth]

ok question. i want to build out here but the floor starts clipping through the ground. I want to make a hallway and a room but the area i want as floor. any suggesting's on how to raise the floor without it looking awkward (I'm still learning how to build creatively so any suggestions would be appreciated)

[jade swan]

You can use the no snap setting. Put it at the height you want. Then put snap back on. You can now build at this height. Also if you build foundation, floor, stairs, etc. underground. You can then stand on them and use the shovel (dig) option to unearth them.

[proven moth]

Oh right I forgot the shovel was a thing, funny because I have it on my hotbar. Thanks for suggestion

[jade swan]

I’ll post pics later of an in ground stone firepit i dug out. I use the shovel quite a bit when building. Good to dig out the shoreline as well to move it inland.

[candid plank]

its pretty HARD to use the shovel. I think they should rework its function. I mean its A REAL NIGHTMARE TO RAISE AND FLATTEN the terrain. Not to mention that u CANT DO THAT if u are near ur buildings.

In Valheim u can do that easily with or without buildings.

I hope they devs can fix that

im trying some new things with improvisations to make it more beatiful

New advancements in my log

[versed cosmos]

Now that the competition is over... My entry. (I realized it got missed after the cut off lol Score, life getting busy and getting in my way. xD)

Also the skyline.

[upper narwhal]

tornado 🙂

[crisp stirrup]

I think I might have discovered some bugs.

[slow pivot]

What bug?

Looks like you tested the height build mechanics. same. https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1482554395454341120

[crisp stirrup]

The tents and ground torches build and stack beyond the structural integrity limits.

[upper narwhal]

yep

or sometimes at least

[slow pivot]

oh it's not beyond though, I don't think. But those piers don't have structural integrity and act like ground so you can't place blocks on them but you can place ground placeable items. But if you had stretched 2 piers to max, you can place blocks on the second pier and reach the same height is my guess. In summary, the second pier has structural integrity and no other pier you stack on top of the second one does. But you get 24 blocks on top of the second. 27 + 27 + 24. Build limit seems to be at 78. Are any of your tents or torches higher than 78 (small blocks) ?

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1482554395454341120

Now, whether they intended for a second pier to HAVE integrity the question lol. But right now, it does.

They might decide it shouldn't and we'll lose some build height. 27 blocks worth.

[upper narwhal]

that 27 would be a cathedral for me or not 😉

[slow pivot]

I know. I hope they leave it the way it is

[crisp stirrup]

I haven't checked in block height.

[slow pivot]

nice test though!!

[crisp stirrup]

Thanks

[slow pivot]

I see you put that in bug reports. Me thinks you might want to rethink that lest we lose those 27 blocks 😂😂😂

[upper narwhal]

had problems with this ... went into triangles and did look extremely ugly

remove everything arround - even my buildings pier etc

nothing changed

[slow pivot]

Not sure what we're looking at

[upper narwhal]

tried to use tidebreaker with the shovel

waves gone wrong 🙂

[slow pivot]

Tried to raise dirt?

Limit is 4 blocks on raising dirt

So as the ocean slopes down, so too will your raise dirt

[upper narwhal]

i removed the complete strand and water that lead to that spot

with raise

[slow pivot]

but the ocean floor itself isn't flat. And what do you mean removed water?

[upper narwhal]

thats the rest raised land

[slow pivot]

yeah you can see the slope there

[upper narwhal]

the blocks now cover the ugly part

[slow pivot]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1481126730914594961

dig test

it's kind of a bummer it works that way. people seem to want to raise dirt more, such as yourself

[upper narwhal]

this was all water

removed every structure .. flattend the sea .. still that wave did not go away

[slow pivot]

if you dig back down, my bet is the water is still there.

[upper narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvxlPDzUM_Q everything that you see arround it, i removed (backup before) .. piers gone in range of maybe 10+ blocks

[slow pivot]

But yeah effectively removed

[upper narwhal]

yep if i dig again it is there again 🙂

[slow pivot]

water is persistent

[upper narwhal]

as i read here that tidebreakers may work - i did try that with raising more and more area in front of it .. did not give a sh.. so i had to burrow it.

[slow pivot]

Well. my giant ocean castle gets waves right through the walls.

[upper narwhal]

the good thing is i did not put back in all the pierstones but made a 2nd tunnel - natural on the right side

will place the entrance in the building that covers the waves

looks nice so far

and finally spent some time with those stones i hate

but nice effects like slightly damaged are easy doable (sometimes even if you dont want them to show up that way) ^^

[crisp dome]

This is literally the only reason why I keep saving my favourite world. So if I screw up I don't have to work 3 hours to fix it. 😅

[upper narwhal]

yep the "undo" button to a point where you did the backup at saved tons of time

[pastel stream]

now make it in game

[crisp dome]

A creative channel that allows AI pictures is already brought to consideration for the admin team. Please support the cause by not breaking the rules here.
I hope we will get a green light on the second channel. I have a lot of Windrose artwork to show too.
If we don't dump pictures like crappy memes I think that would make a good precedent.

Also, tell your ai to "take the HUD off from the picture". 😂

[royal roost]

Removing the HUD would diminish the game's realism.

[crisp dome]

Oh, I thought these were more of artwork than screenshots. Sorry. 😅

[proud cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-sparrow-i-like-that-captain-jack-sparrow-little-jack-gif-15559683640369424147

[crisp dome]

Do you guys all create background stories for your builds or is there anyone who just wants to build without any context?

[royal roost]

I know AI-generated content is controversial, so I'm avoiding uploading it to architecture competitions. I've chosen to share it on this channel instead. I'll be more careful. I apologize if this has offended anyone.

[signal holly]

Very nice. Now lets see Paul Allens prompt.

[crisp dome]

So... Here is my dilemma:
I still don't know if my pc could handle hosting a world with a full pirate town on it. But I want to build a fort on the top of my maze (which was built to let people try it.. not just for screenshots).
I have two options: I either redesign the maze to be a bigger challenge and ditch the wild beast rooms (who has some proper pet farm can guess how difficult trapping and bringing a savage boar into the middle of a maze), or I redesign the way how I bring through the drowned and boars the fort without letting them get lost in the inner market.
🤔
Because life is not difficult enough by itself...

[versed cosmos]

Depends on the build, honestly. My attempt for the competition had a plot to it, and the whole world gave me an excuse to run an old pirate OC of mine through the whole thing (which, frankly, I've had a blast with since the limited playtest, and plan to carry into the full game).

Question becomes: "Does plot enhance this build, or just limit me?"

If it's an enhancement, we're gonna have a page or two. If it's a limit, and it's not a constructive limit, it might not get one.

[crisp dome]

I'm always thinking in projects. I can hardly build anything if I don't make up a story for myself why is it there, how would the people feel while building it themselves. 😅

[lost lotus]

the resources needs are 2x so if bigger pieces can be used to reduce consumption that would be great

i'm not one to want to make everything an even number, seems limiting atm

[jovial notch]

Im guessing I need to build some sort of floor beneath this to be able to close it up ?

[versed cosmos]

Pillars will work. You can temporarily put one on the edge until you close the top, then drop one from the middle straight down and it will support when you remove the temp on the side.

[lost lotus]

hand you tried beams where it meets the flat parts?

[jovial notch]

Right ill give that a go, thanks

[rain sequoia]

built a sea gate for "security"

[visual jetty]

Read pins

Ai generated content will not be permited in creative spaces on this server

[lost lotus]

so I know the devs won't like it here but if only they allowed a specific channel for ai and modded content would be nice

[icy thistle]

I wanted one so I could ignore that channel but people had a place to discuss their findings as they are want to do. Glad they made a decision though as people were just spamming spoilers in general

[versed cosmos]

The disallowance on mod content presently is because they do not want people assuming something will be in release.

Mods, data mining, and generated content mis-represent what this game may be, and such will likely not be allowed period until post release, if then.

It's protection of their work at this phase.

[visual jetty]

Also don't want people asking about how to dig through files, could easily mess up stuff with your game that way

[proper crow]

Was surprised by how much is unlocked by the mods, but to be honest - a lot of it was already revealed in the previous playtest and in the two released trailers, so I don't know - not exactly groundbreaking news imho.

[lost lotus]

still fun to play around with. like my kitchen looks a tad nicer with the cooking upgrades 2 and 3

[lost ocean]

I'd be tempted to try other ships, but wouldn't want to get attached to the performance of them as it may well change.

[versed cosmos]

While not wrong, those pieces may still not make it to release.
Don't spread it, don't hack it to find out. And if you do, keep it to yourself so you don't get someone's hopes up for something that then doesn't exist.

That's what happened with the playtest and pissed off so many people. (PvP, which was revoked as they decided to focus on the RPG aspect.)

Don't do it. xD

[proper crow]

That's why it's EA - kinda comes with the tag. I wouldn't expect the game to be the same after a full year of development, any case.

[long arrow]

I share you my solo creation (35h) a little late about the building's contest :
I had seen some lovely decorations that had been shared in this channel so I took the liberty of using some of them to incorporate into my creation, such as in the kitchen or the bunk beds.

[versed cosmos]

Amazing. ❤️

That kitchen honestly has me jealous. >.>

[long arrow]

They are a little trap above furnace for evacuate smoke onton the roof (on the bottom left, 3rd picture) ^^

;w; but they're both so good-- simple and sweet is fine!

This is why i like these channels-- use the pieces in ways I do not think of. xD

[versed cosmos]

I'm honestly just really glad the smoke apparently listens to physics-- so I can force it out of my house and away from my kitchen, which is the entire reason I moved my cooking outside xD

[long arrow]

The wind does affect the smoke, but it still passes through the walls xD

[versed cosmos]

Bah xD I hope that becomes a thing in release, because I would love to just-- shove the smoke elsewhere. It's one of my favorite realism mechanics from Valheim

[long arrow]

Creating public baths enveloped in smoke lol

[versed cosmos]

Ooh... if they give us a water tub, actually might jump on that. That or i have to dig.

I'm still desperately hoping for the ability to put a dirt slab over things, I want my buried smugglers den, because I can't dig under earth yet.

[icy thistle]

Seems only games with voxel can do that

Maybe if the made a dirt textured roof piece

[versed cosmos]

This is fine, give me a rug that looks like a pile of dirt and I will make it work.

I know you can kinda do that in Valheim, but you gotta be real careful about how you dig under that rock and put supports as you go or it will explode.

(hi it me, i tried it, it's not worth it for a base but it DOES give some interesting aesthetic overhangs.)

[icy thistle]

Cave base best base in valheim til you accidentally swing just once more then you just have an ugly hole on a mountainside 🤦😆

[versed cosmos]

xD He understands me! lol

[lost lotus]

i was thinking about making a basement at the very least but i don't think we can dig far enough down for an actual livable area

[proper crow]

I have a functional basement, but I've made my build very high with 2x solid stone blocks - basement at ground level, house entrance at first floor, first floor level with the terrain

[icy thistle]

could raise the roof of basement with stone walls and roof?

[proper crow]

Here's the foundations so you get an idea of what that looks like - on top of each stone block there I put another stone block, then floors were built on top of columns, and the house on top of floor pieces, then once things were stable I was able to delete some of the columns in the "2nd layer" to make room for the basement and added stairs to it

[versed cosmos]

ngl, that's impressive.

[lost lotus]

wow

[lost lotus]

Here's a creative question. Has anyone been able to make those Eastern Asian roofing where it slopes down but each corner is pointing upward?

[noble kiln]

should i keep this house or no keep?

Day 28
We captured a sloop this day, captained by an odd fellow named Mo Danner. In his hold we found a trove of rare and costly goods - the clear fruit of some clever smuggling, that be certain.

Rather than deal harshly with the man, we struck a bargain. We spared the rascal's life and took him into our crew, along with all his smuggler's contacts and shadowy dealings. Such ties should serve us well in these waters whilst we lie in wait for the Encarnación de Andalucía.

With the matter settled, we now make merry upon the deck, raising cups of a fine vintage to seal the agreement.
-T.

[pastel stream]

it doesn't actually

[rain sequoia]

cargo elevator

[upper narwhal]

what are all those foundations for? how high is this or will this be? and why not raise everything and dig a natural cellar?

[proper crow]

That's for the fort I built - I call it Fort St. Isidore (see pic)

There's the Commander's Quarters inside it - and that's where I built the basement

[upper narwhal]

went the other way as a test and build the cellar after the zone was raised . but was just a test for the caves i build

[proper crow]

There's also a secret passage from outside the fort to the Commander's Quarters basement, but don't be spreading that around 😁

Does it let you dig after building? I have trouble with that 🤔

[upper narwhal]

nope - turns red if it would hit any

even it there is a ship and something of its stucture is above the zone where you want to dig/raise

so you have to know the size and raise and dig first

if i would have raised that one i would have had to dig out what i later need also .. but a cave needs water - so i stayed low on level and at the strand

but without a new pc - i will have to stop large-scale for now

[proper crow]

Yeah that's what I figured - if you try this near the beach you'll run into water, which can be useful for some builds or not be wanted for others

Interesting in any case

[upper narwhal]

yep

pirate cave needs water 🙂

and your screenshot remembered me that i still did not to a lighthous on a small island next to the shorleine

[proper crow]

Very fun project - and you can actually see it from far away when sailing, so it becomes a reference... (Not the light, the tower)

[upper narwhal]

yep lights have not that much of a range and get switched off

[proper crow]

But tricky to reach extreme heights - mine has actually a pier inside it for structural integrity

Little hobo camp I was able to fit under the foundations of a watch tower I'm working on.

[sick shadow]

The before

[slow pivot]

Dear Captain Grace,

It is with regret I write to inform you of the shenanigans of the crew. They decided to light a bonfire on the beach and Davey Peg Legs took pot shots at a barrel of pure spirit. Like a bunch of barnacle heads, they placed the barrel too close to the fire and the whole thing went up like a cannon striking Grey Gold’s ship in the battle of Belcher’s Narrows. Now the whole place is ablaze.

When Davey was confronted he said Buck Smith did it so the two of them started dueling. I went to intercede and Davey named me a Scurvy Dog and told me to eat cow dung. I warned him thrice but he would show me no respect. I gave the scurvy dog a choice between the plank and the gallows. He chose the gallows. The deed was done this eventide and thus we are down one crew mate. I hear Bob the Blade may be up for a stretch on the seas.

Quartermaster Jones

[crisp dome]

I mean... Just like that you might have a constant issue with hiring people to fill up the positions. 😅

[slow pivot]

I'll have them lining up at the pier to board this legendary ship.

[slow pivot]

Thank Davey has been a yellow bellied scallwag since he joined my crew. My quartermaster did right. Everyone knows that. Argh!

[crisp dome]

Well, the officers must have to keep the order. Make sure the crew doesn't misbehave. 🫡

[slow pivot]

Davey drew his blade and charged Jones in a drunken stuper. Drunk against his very oath he signed to join my ship. No drinking on duty. The rest of them are scrubbing the decks as we speak.

Meanwhile the Queen's Island burns to the ground. She may never turn a blind eye to my adventures again! I could be ruined!

LOL I had to at least TRY to make it look like a forest fire cleared the island as I systematically harvest every resource possible leaving a barren wasteland.

[tall beacon]

I uninstalled the demo after 30+ hours but seeing all your creations really makes me want to reinstall lol.

Must. Resist.
And wait for EA

[slow pivot]

I am clearly finding ways to keep myself entertained 🤣

Oh look. He was a scurvy dog after all. Here is the rainbow bridge.

Too morbid? LOLOL

[soft pond]

Nah, Davey was a pirate after all. I see no problem here.

[river portal]

rainbow? never seen one in the game

[slow pivot]

@severe dew Thanks for helping me re-find the skeleton LOL. Poor guy. He must have accidentally drank himself to death while sitting with his back against his buddies grave stone. RIP dude!

Chillin in the pool

[upper narwhal]

can do that too 🙂

looks nice

[upper narwhal]

mine is only military grade comfort and a test from 3 or 4 days ago

as the water is 2 deep in the cellar of my castle, i stopped as i did not want to remove the piers above to make more space and dig a larger area. most likely one of the larger houses near the strand is better suited for a luxury one

my 3 timewasters from today were the castle-maingate, a crafting area and a 2 house combination at the piers- all needs finish but at least the most things are done

[lapis berry]

Adding a lifting gate for castle would be very nice. Moreover, the lifting mechanism is already in the game. In a mission with a button in the wall and a rising wall.

And the folding mechanism would also be a nice bonus.

[upper narwhal]

got a little bigger than planned 🙂

[soft pond]

Dats not tiny... 😉

[upper narwhal]

What is tiny allways depends on what the engine or my pc does support 🙂 But i can see height may be allready a problem here. but at it is in a dock it does not need to be ready to set sails

Or maybe i want to collect 2 of each sort of animals i find if it starts raining ^^

[tranquil flax]

Where are you guys getting all the stone? Is it just the waste rock from mining Copper?

[lean moon]

Using dev menu no doubt

[rain sequoia]

I farmed the mining locations a few days in a row. Left the copper and just took stone.

[tranquil flax]

Ok, thx. I'll just continue hitting the mining locations then. If there is a dev menu I don't really want to use it, I'd rather get a feel for how the resource farming will be.

[spare kestrel]

im no dev. just farm a lot . i have two mines where i em so i just rotate from one to the other. thats all

[crisp dome]

There was a building competition days back. For that a lot of people made new world(s) for cutting wood and farming rocks. There are a good few rocks in the jungle and they give a decent amount of stones too.

There's a "cheat" option to get more fast, but that's also not an in-game thing so you might not want to use it.

I'm roleplaying a trader and while the competition was running I did ship around a good few cargoful of stones and wood, but in the next 3 days I'm sailing on faraway waters (busy AF IRL) so I can only take orders if they are not urgent.

[icy thistle]

youll have workers in ea so you wont be grinding like now

[tranquil flax]

That trading stuff is really cool. I don't think I'm in desperate need of it, I'm trying to make a Stone pier and Lighthouse off shore but I'm struggling to get the stability so far out.

[tranquil flax]

Yeah true, might be worth suggesting a quarry like mining location though for people with large builds in mind

[icy thistle]

honestly doesnt take long to mine stone anyway, i got 10k in 2 days wood however lol

[tranquil flax]

I've deforested half the starting island so far, I'm not hurting for wood for a while lol. Speaking of, the large pier cost is a little weird to me, it's 1 wood for a quarter size pier and 16 for a large one lol

[soft pond]

The wooden piers help a lot for stability 🙂
If you want a stone pier, you can always hide the wooden pier under water or inside the stone pier.

[tranquil flax]

That's exactly what I'm doing yeah lol. But even so, after you get so far out even the wooden piers lose stability, unless you can luck out on stacking them underwater but it's hard to do when you can't see where you're placing them lol

I'm actually having to build from my ship because there is no stability for platforms around the outside

[soft pond]

Yeah, you can't go out infinitely. Depends on the seafloor, some islands go steep very fast, others are more flat and you can build our further

[spare kestrel]

Building a second tower. dont like the supports so i will switch with stone me thinks!!

[rustic berry]

Finally finished my Pikachu plushie today, I've been working on it off and on for a while as other projects came up and my available crochet time decresed, so glad to have it finished now 😛

Day 30
We waylaid a fluyt sailing up from the southern seas, flying WIC colors. Her cargo be naught worth boasting of, much to our chagrin - but the captain spun a tale most interesting in exchange for keeping his life.

He told me he'd been at Curaçao but a week past, where he overheard Dutch officers whispering that the Spaniards be gathering their strength, readying for a grand venture out of Havana in three weeks' time.

It must be her… the Encarnación. And by fire and thunder, we'll have her!

Holy shit! Thats amazing, pardon my french 😅

Its awesome to see what people accomplish with auch limited options, can you imagine what they can doo with all the stuff unlocked 🤯🤯

[upper narwhal]

tnx! but look at the entries for the building contest for much better work and details. You can allready build everything that you can imagine (like a kraken ) - more decorations only make it look better or easier to create.

[spare kestrel]

Remember you will need two of every Animal Eh?

[upper narwhal]

a large number of noble dressed pigs tell me they are more valuable and that some animals are more equal ... .. do i need to get them all in?

[upper narwhal]

others call themself influencers ... they want to spread the word about the amazing ship and demand tax exemption and better quarters while onboard

so i think i will sink the ship if the flood comes 😉

[upper narwhal]

A crewmate just came to me that overheard the conversation and demanded them all kept away from the ship. They have killed his whole family and many more hetold me. Only later i found out he meant influenza A. Maybe i should get a pair of teachers first.

[obtuse geyser]

I gave it a roof! (I don't super like it, there's just not a lot of options for roofs in the demo.)

god I need the EA for this game so bad 😭

[proud cedar]

yea, we are kinda limited with what we can build with on the demo 🙁 i tried to build a lighthouse, but it ended up too square and blocky looking, so i tore it down. I really like your design 🙂

[obtuse geyser]

Slightly rotating the walls as you place them helps with the rounded shape

[proud cedar]

what did you do foundation wise so you could build up so high with stone?

[obtuse geyser]

First I put the stone foundation down on the beach. The bottom walls are those really tall ones. I mainly used the stone walls that have wood in it. I could tell it was getting pretty precarious once I started having issues placing the roof at the top, so I added the slanted stone roof to support the wooden platform at the top, with bundles of sticks in between the gaps it made up.

[proud cedar]

thanks for the tip, i'm really enjoying the building so far on the demo, ive been building random bases on valheim creative mode for ages now, so it's nice to kinda take a break from that but also have something really similar too. also the pirating part of the game has me really hooked!

[obtuse geyser]

Valheim's building was far too unforgiving for me, I like this game's a lot more

[proud cedar]

on valheim i just played on creative with admin commands on. i really just enjoyed building bases and such.

[upper narwhal]

creating hideouts for path of exile, i really enjoy the freedom the engine+devs give

creating scaffolding with beams ... even up to large size .. amazing

[silent marlin]

iam still playing the game, already using the big ship, and a like the game, i think the combate need more in deph mechanics, the animations are good but becomes easy and boring vary fast

[upper narwhal]

grew up with lego ... dont need monsters - just bricks 🙂

[zealous stag]

Yeah, building in Valheim can be rough. But with just corewood logs you can have a four story building with a roof. Super gargantuan buildings eat up the fps like noone's buisness though. 🙁

[upper narwhal]

have more than halfed my frames allready here in in windrose 🙂

and the lights start to flicker if i am in a central area where too many are in the range of my viewdistance

[zealous stag]

I've gotten away from super-massive builds after Valheim. Enshrouded? 5x5 cube house. Windrose? Two prefab grass huts and a dock. Especially Windrose because I won't be able to take my gear or my island with me to the main game.

Being able to modify, store, or share blueprints would be nice though. Only having two blueprints available is very teasing. Still, slapping two grass huts together and busting the walls down between them is enough space for the demo.

[upper narwhal]

need to know whats possible and how the frames are 🙂

[zealous stag]

Yeah. I had started to have fun with the pier or dock piece, but it's a whole lot of fiddly manual aiming when you can't see anything.

If you trim the hedges, it makes the dock look bigger.

[upper narwhal]

atm testing what options for beds are there 🙂

not removed a single tree on this island

if they are in the way - i build arround or just cover them with a building

[zealous stag]

I somehow made my dock the absolute perfect location. So when people spawned into my game, they spawned half inside of it. Stuck. Had to remove a tile and put stairs around the spawn point.

[obtuse geyser]

Oh my god its him

[upper narwhal]

the large piers are a pain to set ... camera / char would need to be much further away from the object - bad camera-clipping .. just awful

[zealous stag]

Yeah. I can not, for the life of me, get the large pier to snap to its buddy. I have to use the small ones.

[upper narwhal]

will replace much of the drydock the ship is in with beams

much better view to spot where to go and change stuff compared to the pier blocking 90% if the ship

[upper narwhal]

looks like an interresting static calculation

[obtuse geyser]

oh my god the lattice floor

[zealous stag]

Australia has a few of them as tourist attractions.

[obtuse geyser]

is the lattice floor for scaffolding or style points

[zealous stag]

for the "much better view" it seems.
Because the piers were blocking the bottom half of the ship.

[exotic torrent]

australia mentioned

[obtuse geyser]

oh I see, they did type that but i wasn't sure what they meant

yep - if you run arround up there and cant see how you did it on the other side of the ship because its blocked ...

Blue one hates you with a passion, tho - I see it in their eyes

Brown dodos are docile

[edgy canopy]

How did you do that? LOL

[wide falcon]

if i remember my bird science the blue ones are males and the grayish ones are females

[proper crow]

1. Find a dodo
2. Aggro them - blue ones will aggro on you automatically, brown one will need you to hit it first (use a basic non-upgraded weapon) or for a blue one to attack you first
3. Lead them to your pen/coop - needs to have a way in and a way out or have a way for you to get out (ladder, etc)
4. Once you lure the dodos there, build a wall/remove the way in to trap them there

[icy thistle]

so after you enclose them remove the half wall and they dont register it aand dont walk out?

[proper crow]

Yup, they will be trapped there - but will disappear when you logout, unfortunately

[icy thistle]

good thing to remember for dedicateds though, dumb dodos lol

[proper crow]

Oh if you mean the opening on my screenshot that's a 1-block space, I think they have issues navigating it...

I led them through the back - built the external wall after

[icy thistle]

ah yes was what i was effering to

but the logout thing is still a thing so think ill wait til ea and dedicateds

[proper crow]

Brown ones will lose aggro after you put some distance and leave them alone (and no blue dodos near them) - blue ones will always aggro once you are near

[upper narwhal]

a brown one is walking in the streets in my city for the last 2 days (not logged since)

and i am allmost back again to the point where i was before the large part collapsed 😉

still not deceided what windows each floor will get

[proper crow]

They tend to spawn at the same general area. I'm not sure how that works tbh - I guess the map generates some kind of spawn point at those coordinates? And I think these are "disabled" if you build a bonfire that covers that point. Meaning if you build a pen in that area without a bonfire theoretically you could cause them to spawn in it.

[edgy canopy]

Thank you 😄

@paper dune I wonder how big is the no spawn radius around our builds? For example could I build an underground dungeon out of the cellar? If I won't build in it but only on the surface on the top? 🤔

[tough bluff]

You can. And the no spawn radius is inside your bonfire range so you got a lot of space to use

I build a storage barn out of the cellar in my own world at first.

[crisp dome]

So it's not any building but only the bonfire....
You made my day. THANK YOOOOUUU!! 🥰

Day 35
I've dispatched our first mate and two swabbies ahead as scouts to Havana. They be sailing the captured sloop, masked as humble merchants, to sniff out what they can of the Encarnación and her schemes.

Meanwhile, the work of mending the fort presses on. We've shored up the walls and brought in more guns through our smuggling mates. Should the Spaniards give chase, we'll be ready for them - but mark me, we can't be lingering here overly long.

A cursed shame, that - seeing as we've spun ourselves a tidy bit of trade with the Brethren, and our little stronghold be growing into a proper pirate haven. Tell me, how does the title of Governor sit with ye?

Bah, no matter - once we seize our prize, we'll be swimming in riches enough to shame any governor. Dare I say it... King?
-T.

Decent view of my actual build from the top. Fortress/mansion with attached tavern (for a bit of legitimate business.)

My friend took this screenshot of our characters. I love the framing in the window.

[ruby tree]

I built a whole little town

[obtuse geyser]

oh wow those tables are so much better, nice construction

[sick shadow]

Thanks, I wasn't sure how I'd like the design but it turn out nice.

[sinful socket]

id reccomend adding some pillars into the room to give it some support as well as to help fill the empty space some

[sick shadow]

I like that idea, i'll have to do that.

[left estuary]

Idk, have not tried putting wood in them yet

[molten narwhal]

I REALLY need to finish my fort

😭 Windrose been on my backburner

[exotic torrent]

better get it finished before EA

[wild prairie]

i cant get down now but at least its a good view

[quaint wharf]

Woah! How did you get the ability to use stone arches?

[gleaming whale]

I don't know, I just have them.

[crisp dome]

Did you by any chance visit someone's server where you saw them? 🤔

[gleaming whale]

no

[narrow peak]

Most likely a mod, there's a possible spawn window on bottom right & the inventory includes swamp pick & axe.

[crisp dome]

He even has tomatoes... 😝

[hardy ridge]

Where do you get those doors and archway designs?

[exotic torrent]

They look like the doors one of the mods showed off a while back

[hardy ridge]

In fact all those design elements, roof, walls

There are mods for the demo?

[exotic torrent]

Possibly modded

[hardy ridge]

Right, ok, that would explain it

[proud cedar]

if it's what I've seen then it's a mod to unlock the dev console and it's commands to unlock and spawn in locked items & ships currently in the demo.

the devs / admins have said anything seen that is locked or unplayable currently in the demo doesn't necessarily mean it will be in the EA or full game.

[proper crow]

Aye, that be modded. And we're not supposed to talk about it, unfortunately.

These are screenshots from the last trailer, however, and should give you an idea of what else is there

[proper crow]

Given that a good chunk of it has already been shown in the trailers (see screenshots I've posted above) I'd argue that's not the actual reason - the reason is that most of these locked parts require plans and materials that are not accessible in the demo, like iron and planks.

[proud cedar]

true, I just know its a topic that the dev's don't really want us talking about, I just didn't want to get into trouble mentioning the mod in question too 😋 EA can't come soon enough 😉

[hardy ridge]

uu looks nice - where can i see tha traier?

[proper crow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmXZ4Ae5SqQ

[upper narwhal]

while all of us would badly want those decorations, others had to stop posting their creations with the mod/cheat .. check the pinned "rules"

[hardy ridge]

Ok thanks

[proper crow]

If that strikes yer fancy, I'm building a new community where we can post modded builds - welcome to help or just snoop around.

May or may not have a dedicated server, depending on where this goes with MP. We'll see on EA.

[civic tangle]

Imma wait until ea when the devs are ready for us to be using all this

[hollow basin]

my castle

[visual zinc]

beside that, I love watching how creative folks get with a limited palette 🙂

[civic tangle]

Agreed

Yall are so creative

It makes em excited for what will be made when we do get our hands on early access

[visual zinc]

EGG-Zactly

[civic tangle]

Hope we get even more building sets eventually

[supple lodge]

What started as a bar has mutated into a Resort Hotel! I call it "The Misty" after the flowers that are hiding near the foundation.

[weak pebble]

ah man... this game is so amazing. My buddy and I have spent countless hours just gather resources and building with the assets we have. I cannot wait until we get more building objects and scatter to play with. The are is just wonderful too. I am loving all of the creativity being shared here!

[vapid gorge]

Did you build the well using demo available parts?

[upper narwhal]

because of the garden?

[vapid gorge]

Actually, the chain...

[hardy ridge]

I’d like to know also, those straight square beams i don’t think are in the game?

[narrow peak]

I'd say more than half of that well is not demo available stuff.
Chain is one, Roof is another, i believe the thick grassy log are too.

[hardy ridge]

First Port office building finished

[hardy ridge]

Thick horizontal logs around well are the seat logs

[narrow peak]

It looks like those but are most likely not.
Especially the top & left side with a little bit of grass on them, it's a next-tier wood building pieces. (i've used em)

I'll check real quick

Here ya go: left is seat log, center is weathered log beam, right is half log wall

[ornate viper]

is there a way to enable a creative mode? I want to build some cool stuff.

[hardy ridge]

How do you enable it?

[narrow peak]

Probably the same as everyone else, use the spawn mod, spawn the schematics, learn it.

[hardy ridge]

Is it on nexus

Where can i find that mod

[narrow peak]

It is indeed on Nexus, the oldest one there is. ||sml and solo cheats||

[crisp dome]

When did the creative channel become an advertisement channel? 🤔

[queen talon]

Cause it’s a creative advertisement duh 🙄 /s

[crisp dome]

Mea Culpa! 😅

Day 38
Arrr, we were set upon by another of Blackbeard's Interceptors, and this time we near went to the depths! I swear by salt and steel, I'll hunt down that bilge rat meself and knock every last tooth from his rotten maw!

The Jewel be taking a fair bit of damage, and she's under repairs as we speak. Given the dire straits, I be parleying with our smuggler mates to lay hands on some fine 36-pounders - and, if the bargain holds, that scurvy dog won't know what blasted him to splinters!

Still, our eyes must stay on the prize. She be sailing straight into our grasp, heavy-laden and ripe for the taking. Our plans shan't fail. Blackbeard can bide his time.

That black-hearted bastard!

<@&1354821664998817822> MODS GET EM!

[shrewd magnet]

Yup

[willow willow]

hey guys i got a question, so a friend of mine created a world and we played on it for a lot of time, he is going to be away for a while and i wanted to know if there was a way to play that world without him being online as he is the host. really hope theres a way

[tough bluff]

I'm pretty sure if he sends you his world file itll work but Since I dont have the demo intalled anymore I'm not sure where the file/foldeer is located

[willow willow]

@tough bluff sei italiano?

[tough bluff]

No. Sto solo imparando un po' di italiano.

[willow willow]

oh okay mb i tought you was italian cause you had the italian tag.. thx a lot btw.

[willow willow]

if anybody else knows how please let me know. We put a lot of work in it and dont want it to be lost. thxxxx

[tough bluff]

The italian tag is just because I'm the only mod assigned to watch over the italian channel since I can read/type a bit (I'm still learning so im not great)

[willow willow]

haha dont worry, if you need any help just lmk

[proper crow]

It's a bit hacky, and does require some tweaking. Have your friend check the folder below:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Windrose Demo\R5\Saved\RocksDB\0.7.0\Worlds
There should be a folder with some kind of id, like CA990740671F4DD6D1A0EA1370B8D4DD. Every world should have a different id, so make sure you know which folder is the correct one. Have your friend zip that folder and send it to you. Then unzip it in the exact same location in your own PC. You should be able to load that afterwards.

Still, make sure you backup everything, and know what you're doing - can easily lose everything if you're not careful

[willow willow]

thx a lot really, i'll try tomorrow and let you know. So happy to know there's a good community in this discord and behind this beautiful game, been here for just 5 mins and already feeling home😍. Have a great day/night. Thx again!!!

[hardy ridge]

Wait a second, if this works it means you can create a bank world?

So, instead of creating new world and farming it to bring mats to your main world it seems one should simply create a bank world, recreate that to dip into, saves you on farming just need the initial setup farm?

[proper crow]

I suppose so 🤔 But wouldn't be very efficient as you can only bring what fits in your character inventory, I guess. Might as well use the mods if you wanna do that.

[hardy ridge]

Well not really, you use the ship for cargo transfer, same as you do now with new world farming

[proper crow]

So your "bank" now needs a port 😁 I guess you can do that, aye, but kinda don't see the point anyway

[crisp dome]

People were very hyped about it when the building contest was on. I tried to RP trading resources at the same time so I got a good few raised eyebrows if I'm a loonatic or what?!
But meeting people was more fun than logging out from the game.... for playing with it. 🤷

By the way... I'm still trading! DM me if you need something (preferably rare, like trophy heads - all the 3 kinds -, gunpowder, salt, coffee, rum or sulphur... and more) 😁

[proud cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/disney-movies-pirates-of-the-caribbean-potc-quotes-gif-14851121

[crisp dome]

I'm stacking it high. 😏

[hardy ridge]

A don’t need a port even at bank/farm world, literally go collect mats, spawn ketch put things into cargo hold till it’s full and then go back to your real world use warf to unload

[proud cedar]

Cheat Engine gotta love it 👀 🤫

[crisp dome]

Eventually for sure! 😊
But first I'm tinkering how I can cheat with mechanics and when satisfied I will look into the extras.
I used to play with ARK. I did LOVE how people invented stuff like pve burglar traps.
Soon enough no Rum stack will be in danger at my port! 😉

[delicate sleet]

my pirate outpost/base 😄

[fervent mist]

I just got the building stuff u got there, and this is hiving me great ideas hahaha

Indoor pool is in the works 😅👍

Need to get creative with the arches tho 😯

[hardy ridge]

Just heads up trees are finite in demo

[fervent mist]

Free building ftw 🤪

[shy relic]

I'd like to see your permit for teasing us like this! Bloody pirates...

[hardy ridge]

did someone delete my picture? IT was from their media kit.... from devs

[tough bluff]

My bad!

[hardy ridge]

bro...

[tough bluff]

I mean to reply to it but crappy internet deleted by accident!

Feel free to repost it (It shows some awesome stuff)

[hardy ridge]

Here - one extra - for those who want to get them, just to to general chat and check pinned message one of them contains link to it

[tough bluff]

Heres the link to the Press kit, Has a lot of screenshots from the early access build and a good showcase of more stuff https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IZoe3dtVPeESBlDjc_502xGJpyDSUalM

[golden orbit]

got my own lil outpost

[lofty wedge]

when you get bored! 😛

[hardy ridge]

Looked into this - to add, to verify which one is your world, just look inot 'WordDescription.json with text editor and the name of the world will be there.

[hardy ridge]

Tested the above - spent few hours setting it up - and yeah - I have now 4k stone and 4k wood world, i just copy paste into folder go in and transfer mats across to my main world

so basically instant infinite mats, without massive work of farming - just few minutes of copy pasting and then moving things around

[crisp dome]

So my trading business sailed away (again)...
It's time to go back to my original job: piracy. Let's see where can I find yer cargo ships?!

[oak oracle]

how yall have better roofs than me and how you gardening xD i havent been able to

[hardy ridge]

mods most likely

[hardy ridge]

modded beams?

[silver pollen]

its not lol

[hardy ridge]

those beams are not in demo...?

or is it part of the pier?

[silver pollen]

yes its the pier :)

just clever use of the parts we have available haha

[hardy ridge]

didn't realise you can put it on land 🙂 pretty clever indeed

[oak oracle]

ok but the roofs all i see is the leafy roofs, unless theres another creative way do do that lol. neat tho

[hardy ridge]

technically speakinging - you could place the small wooden triangles next to each other to create a roof i guess

[oak oracle]

the first pic i am wondering about xD

[hardy ridge]

oh thats from the press kit - its not in the demo, it was last years alpha

[oak oracle]

oh i see

so this demo we are stuck with the leafy roofs xD

[hardy ridge]

Yep 🙂

[hardy ridge]

check this out - you'll see what will be possible in EA

I am hoping we will hear some good news on 9th

[oak oracle]

darn. how long has this even been In Demo? xD cant waif for this game to release

EA?

oh Early Access xD

[hardy ridge]

Early Access

Yeah 🙂

[oak oracle]

man i cant wait xD

[tough bluff]

Looks like the outside edge of a pier aye. Some people are super creative with the limited building pieces you have

[lofty wedge]

Yep, these are just piers used as foundations!

[visual zinc]

Use the wood ramp piece in the stairs section.

[ruby tree]

You can use tightly packed rows of the slanted beams to make a roof if the Ramp or Leaves aren't to your liking.

Its a bit more work to assemble, but looks alright.

[soft pond]

Can also use the wooden stair, can even do neat looking round roofs with that one

[lean dagger]

how does one get this kickass jacket?

[paper dune]

You can't without mods / cheats

[proper crow]

I am selling these fine leather jackets...

[lean dagger]

yarrrrrg?

[supple lodge]

I've found another great use for cooking foods, decoration! It was pretty cool to log back in and see that the food placement didn't change.

[hardy ridge]

i tried that but it kept falling off the table when i tried to place it - hw did you manage to get it right on the table?

[proper crow]

I've done it but it was through trial and error - drop it, see if it lands where you want - if not, pick it up again, rinse and repeat

There's probably a better way 😁

[supple lodge]

It was a bit of luck mixed with figuring out the distance. For my situation I was trying to get food to land on a countertop, and found that standing about 1.25 large floor planks away would sometimes get the food to land where I wanted. The drops are physics based and not always a straight line from your character, but every once in a while it worked out.

[hardy ridge]

Ahaa! Nice find

[supple lodge]

I'm still testing out all the mechanics while I froth at the mouth waiting for the game to release 😅

[proper crow]

See - food, pistol

Very annoying to get it right

But will stay there once set

[supple lodge]

Nice! I also have a theory that indoors could be interfering with the drops physics. I was also chucking food around while underneath a roof canopy.

Haven't tested in an open area yet.

[proper crow]

I think they just get chucked in random directions in front of your character - couldn't really find a pattern 😁

[supple lodge]

Also very cool layout for the room decorations, I dig the rug! I need to step up my interior game

[crisp dome]

Can you place a storage above the location you need to place your food? If yes then put the food in the box, delete the box and the items inside will drop to the table.

[hybrid rivet]

The Island of the Repentant with Abbey

[hardy ridge]

Wow, nice, how did you do that big window inner wiring?

[hybrid rivet]

thanks, I used Beam stick

[warped pumice]

Beam/stick is king in this game. Used tons of them for the Kraken

[upper narwhal]

very nice church! Never got the arcs and ceiling like i wanted ... if we had stonepieces like the leafes for the roof, i would try to do a vault as they at least have 2 different angles. would have used beams if we could rotate by 1 degree and not only by steps of 15

[upper narwhal]

and path of exile happened while i was working on more options - so atm windrose is on pause 🙂

[hybrid rivet]

I used large beam for the arches , if we had the 3 type of stairs up side down , I think we ' ll do great things

[upper narwhal]

yep

could work with those i used for the lower part - but they are a pain to work with if you want to do a ceiling

at least for a cave they are fine

or to build a mountain

[hardy ridge]

How would you fill this gap to maintain roundness?

[paper dune]

Is there a triange piece you can mess with?

[hardy ridge]

i tried - doesn't fit

[paper dune]

Dang

Maybe multiple overtop of it to create the illusion?

[rough bison]

You may need to take it out of snap lock and free hand them in...thats what i did to get bend in something

[hardy ridge]

yeah i guess i could try something like that - but then it won't be even - i guess thats the trade off

yeah

like this :

15 degree natural circle, but anything beyond that is finicky

same issue with rocks:

i'll tinker with it

[rain sequoia]

Second fortress, "the citadel" under construction still. One neighboring island clear cut for wood.

[minor panther]

If you alternate squares with triangles you can create a rounder shape, like instead of the square on one side or the other, fill it all up with triangles. I was doing this toward the end of my stream earlier today.

Kind of like this:

It isn't strictly round but you can make a 12-sided "circle".

Kind of along these lines

[rough bison]

Have a building question....I see pics of large builds that go outside or look to be larger then the bonfire circle..are you able to continue building outside the radius as long as its connected to something inside of it? I see we cant overlap bonfire rings so jkust tring to wrap my head around how it can work for a large group build

[silver pollen]

Bonfire is basically just the range in what you can grab stuff out of chests and get the rested buff. You can build outside of it as much as you want, you’ll just have to have the materials in your inventory if your character goes out of the radius. And decorations can only be placed inside the bonfire. For those you can simply destroy the fire and move it a bit, built structures don’t decay. Keep in mind if you destroy the bonfire, after u place it again, you need to interact with it to settle Galen (the npc) once more since he’s tied to it.

[rain sequoia]

Fence/gate is also restricted to be built in bonfire range.

[rough bison]

Perfect...that you for answering....I havnt built anything huge yet but i know I will so wanted to ask before i get to that point

[silver pollen]

no problem, never hesitate to ask anything, we're here to help!

[lost ocean]

Somebody got a promotion.

[rough bison]

I was thinking that also was trying to remember if Tiddles was blue and fancy before lol

[tough bluff]

No? Tiddles has always been blue

[tough bluff]

Gaslighting isnt real but if it were it'd be pronounced 'Jaslight'

[warped pumice]

A sight after me own heart, laddy!

[last bolt]

I am not very creative, but I just built onto the ruins. This is a landlord special.

[rain sequoia]

I think I'm done building structure and need to swap to decorating. Apparently you can go high enough to stack bonfires one above the other.

A different perspective.

[swift oriole]

monumental job! any tips for hight level? iv got stuck on a building level below yours I think and the structure was unstable...

[rain sequoia]

I will take some pics of the interior today. Used piers on the interior to give it stability. If you can align piers on top of each other that stability can go pretty far. The central tower is also built over one of the rock formations on the island although I don’t know if that really impacted height or stability.

[silver pollen]

as far as I know that stability comes mostly from the distance to the ground. so if you raise it you can build higher. at least from what i have experimented with.

Taking that into account makes sense as to why you could go that high. the rock is seen as the ground level when building on it

[mellow chasm]

Reminds me of The Crescent Moon by Montague Dawson. I painted a study of it in Rust for an event.

If I could paint in Windrose like I can in Rust, I would probably never leave!

[red monolith]

never played rust, didnt know you could paint in it

[mellow chasm]

There's a whole modded pve community for it, check out Monstera on youtube or twitch if you want to check it out. We play on a server called Art of Rust.

[hardy ridge]

so if you create a circle building with 15% angles - how would one create large circle around it doesn't seem like its possible

[foggy apex]

how can I create maps or something like that?

[paper dune]

What do you mean by maps?

[foggy apex]

I'm referring to what I've seen you are building in the photos above.

[hardy ridge]

you can build in the demo

you just need to unlock things (explore for blueprints - well - just visit all the camps you can find)

[hardy ridge]

I wonderhow much stone that was

[foggy apex]

But what do I have to do to create things?

[rain sequoia]

Guessing 15-20k ish.

[versed scaffold]

is there a way i can upload more than 10 pics here maby.. ?

[silver pollen]

I think that's sadly just the limit from discord itself

[versed scaffold]

iss

rip

attatch zip maby ? duno if its possible

[zealous stag]

Post ten pics in a message, then respond to your own message with ten more pics.
Because sending totallynotavirus.mp3.zip through discord sounds like a terrible idea.

[silver pollen]

^^^^ Yes, no zip files or anything we need to open first, since it's safer and easier for us to moderate it like that.

[rain sequoia]

When I destroyed this build I think I got 8-9k out of it.

[versed scaffold]

think im about 45% done with what all i have in plan rip.. send wood i die xD more pics on media sharing tab

[sour estuary]

Bro build Tortuga at home

[upbeat belfry]

Damn amazing I gotta show ya my port Saint Louise tavern I’m working on

[visual jetty]

Great work!

[zealous stag]

All this good work, and all I've got for a place to call home is Port-a-Potty. 🙁

[upper sable]

Taken a lot of stone for this big abandoned fortress! Got to finish decorating then I start on the town around the bay on the other side and docks that fill the entire bay area c:

[rich grove]

This looks amazing

[upper sable]

Thinking of breaking up the color pallet by replacing some walls with wood fence bits to make it look like sections have been borded over for some more of a "battle damaged" abandoned vibe. Also solid grey just tooo solid. At least the building layout is set c:

[zealous stag]

Yeah, the demo's lack of variation can get rough on large builds. I've had the same problem in a lot of base building games.

[upper sable]

Shame we dont have cannon decorations either They would be perfect for the roof battlement

[devout token]

this is goddamn impressive and awesome. you hit the visuals of piraty

[hardy ridge]

This is one of the best I’ve seen, really amazing work

How do you even come up with that, how do people do this, like do you plan it out first or just start one and build from there?

[hardy ridge]

Also, create bank world for mats

[river portal]

Morning

[versed scaffold]

Well its a creative proces.. you have plan in your head what you want and i started sculpting houses first to make it tight and cramped spaces so the place ooz with vibe and then you focus on details to make it beliveable.. dont want to build megalomanic shoping centars etc.. insted i focused on what coud rly pass as real places/structures.. then you add stuff, remove stuff that you dont like or dont fit and slowly expanding street by street.. i had plan to make this 3times bigger but then i rememberd its a demo so i stayed focused on small first island and no interior building for it.. but when main game comes out i will go harder than this but later in game when i unlock most of building blueprints.. you have more pics on media shareing section on discord.. a lot of pics didnt make it here

[hardy ridge]

I’ll have a look

I did bit of online research for architecture and port styles of the era, did you use anything for inspiration?

I did stop all p building after doing first two houses, i want to keep it for ea so i dont burn out. Hopefully by 9th we’ll get some good news

[prime bobcat]

I should snap a photo of the interior the GF made in one building its amazing I had no idea could decorate like that in this game, then again after seeing your street view now I just feel inadequate as a pirate engineer

[versed scaffold]

1700-1800 archi.. but just looking at buildings at your home town can do the work if you live in europe for sure.. but i workd with what i have been given from blueprints.. think it coud all be much better if i had more blueprints to choose and play with so you cant relay much on what you see inworld if you dont have tools to sculpt stuff like that

[hardy ridge]

Mhmh

As far as I’m aware you don’t ever get building blueprints, just parts

[prime bobcat]

I wish this was the case but in my hometown town the oldest houses are littery still built from old flipped ships. Most are designed 1870's and up.

[versed scaffold]

It dosent matter, im sure you watched movies or something where you coud see the atmosphere im sure you coud all make old houses if you try ahah 🙂 i dont live by the sea but after 35years of liveing on this planet im pretty sure i coud sculpt some of my own head creations by now that look cool and realistic hahah 😄 but there is a lot of work with sculpting streets and houses and decorating it all im not gona lie

Harvest in diff worlds

[visual zinc]

Agreed creating resource worlds has been helpful, especially for getting stone quickly. Stone as a resource feels ridiculously low, the nodes don't spawn quickly, if at all, and mining produces mostly copper and very little stone.

Im trying to recreate the spanish style house from the trailer but im having difficulty receeating the sides and back

Has anyone tried this? And succeeded?

Also the inside aint really visible, any of you creative beasts got ideas?

[zealous stag]

From the first trailer on Steam?
Nope.
We just don't have many of the full game's tiles to reproduce it.
We've got the small subset of Gilligan's Isle crafting.

[proper crow]

The inside is also shown in the trailer

I've done similar style, aye, not sure what you've been having issues with?

[fervent mist]

Mostly the staircase

Im using the same measurements but stairs are floating lol

And i totally missed that, thx for the pic

[fervent mist]

||Nexus has a unlock mod that gives u the stuff needed to recreate it||

[prime bobcat]

is this demo?

[fervent mist]

Not in the demo originally but creative people found a way 😉

[prime bobcat]

Erm wrong question have you built this?

[fervent mist]

It's as he stated a screenshot from the trailer

[wispy egret]

Any builders need supplies delivered?

[proper crow]

Check your foundation height, perhaps - 1 block tall won't cause it to float. Stairs are 4 pieces + corners and I believe there's a 1x1 block section behind them - the 1x1 blocks might give you trouble with alignment with the 2x2 foundation; I've fixed it with free placement. That did cause the stairs to be a bit higher but still not floating - still, with the added height I was able to place a 1x1 rock wall under it, which appears to be what was done in the trailer build if you pay attention.

[proper crow]

That's not mine, that's from the trailer, but aye

damn .... my pirate is living like a freaking cave man i see

[maiden snow]

Ah dang i did more to finish it off but forgot to post it. I'll have to do that in the morning, it was hard to put the forges in the workshop cause they have to be placed outside 😛

[proper crow]

Pillage and plunder, matey, 'til ye be livin' like a king!

[hardy ridge]

I hope devs will do some additional music to the game in lines to something like this https://youtu.be/gwIRzgbe2jo?si=HEnGxcLTVGtZVE6C

[hybrid canopy]

naah... just a bit of Running Wild and we're good... 😄

[hardy ridge]

Why not both 🙂

[hybrid canopy]

What's amazing is that running Wild has been around for 49 years... the guys are in their 70's

[visual zinc]

Love Bear McCreary but, mind you, anything with the Hurdy Gurdy sounds very pirate-y 🙂

[tall stag]

His "Nassau Shores" is one of my favorite pieces of music

[warped pumice]

Used this for our Contest Build Video. Love this song and have been watching the show again for inspiration lol

[hardy ridge]

oh yeah - ost is full of amazing tracks

[maiden snow]

Few more screenshots, of a workshop with forges, and a bar above it
can't place forges inside a building but you can have an open roof if you place things right
probably well known, but I did notice the more clutter a lot of the time makes rooms look more realistic

[visual zinc]

you can build a forge inside, it just doesn't work in that condition. Also you may need to place the forge then build around it as opposed to build the structure first. It's really strange how the forge works in this sense. I have built around the forge but haven't quite figured out the EXACT criteria in which it stops working.
This is my 'blacksmith' station.

Unfortunate the smoke obscures so much, but the forge still works in this example and you hopefully can see how the stone walls were built around it.

[hybrid niche]

finished tavern / inn ???, i got inspiration from my local pub (i live in the uk)

[molten narwhal]

Its a shame all this will be worthless next Tuesday

Rock Base, Can't wait for full release of this Game, Building is going to be fun!

[zealous swift]

Like the helmet!

[tough bluff]

Ah wrong! On the 14th we’ll start seeing people doing great and amazing things with all the new build sets that are available

[molten narwhal]

True but I like to see the grinders sweating over their lost creations...

[tough bluff]

Also funny

[subtle arch]

Me remembering spending hours building that stone wall around an entire island

[atomic cosmos]

i told u that today we will get at last the date

im high iq sob

[solid nexus]

I got excited when I saw something other than leaf roofs haha

[proper crow]

Day 51
She be comin' to us!

The Encarnación de Andalucía be sighted on the horizon!

Our first mate's returned from Havana with news hotter than a cayenne's sprout. Them Spaniards have weighed anchor and set course from Havana to Seville, and she be laden with riches beyond any scallywag's wildest dreams - treasure no soul's ever laid eyes upon!

She'll be passin' near our waters in five days' time. But mark me - she sails under heavy guard, more than we reckoned, and this won't be a soft plunder. We'll need to call upon fellow captains of the sea. Our scheme must be tight as a drum.

By fire and thunder, we'll claim that prize… or me name ain't Tooth!
-T.

[proven spear]

BUILDERS! are we ready!?

[drifting current]

Now the only reason im sad about the so close EA release is that i won't finish my harbour on time, so i thought to share even if its uncompleted, because it will never be xD Can't wait to start again on EA 😄

[warped pumice]

The fresh start is going to be a blast with all the new pieces though. Make sure your boot straps are bootstraped, me hearties!

[silver pollen]

reminder to take plenty of pictures of your stuff!

[drowsy oak]

I'm sorry is that a god damn canal you built right over the water!?

I am... In awe of some of the stuff I've seen from the builders in here

[drifting current]

It is, it’s incredible what this game let you do

[rough bison]

Did you have to use a mod to dig in the water? Or how did you get the depth so close to shore?

[drifting current]

No I didn’t, the depth was just right for the big ship but in a really tight spot, so I built the harbor around the available “parking space”

The only area which I used the shovel on was on the little canal, which I managed to dig from the sides of it

[remote vector]

<@&1354821664998817822> here too.

[quartz atlas]

finished the port for my ships, pretty happy with it so i may remake it in EA

[sinful socket]

I honestly do hope that we will be able to have some major role-playing opportunities with building things such as massive port cities, could even customize it in such a way as to let other players set up shops in it

[feral pasture]

Way to much for a flipping demo I will say that 😄

[primal hare]

mods is comming at some point

[drifting current]

Yo which ship is the one in the middle? is it available in the demo?

[lost ocean]

Looks like a frigate, which is available in EA, but not in the demo.

[hybrid niche]

yeah

[hybrid niche]

only ships in the demo are the ketch and the boat i think

excluding the blackbeard ships

[drifting current]

So how can he have them in the demo? xD

[hybrid niche]

maybe mods ??? idk

or they have the playtest key (idk if playtest is still open)

[feral pasture]

mods.. With the mods you can crank open a lot more content.

[torpid ermine]

That is a great room.

[silver pollen]

#│modding-general please for any mod related stuff :)

(just a general heads up for future things as we now finally have a modding channel 🥳 )

[torpid ermine]

got it.

[solid nexus]

All a captain needs is a nice drink and an herb rack to get her through the day

[upper narwhal]

just spent 20 minutes to record everything i did build to remember how much fun a demo can be and how bad my 2070 super at 3440x1440 handled the town in the end 🙂

[molten narwhal]

I can unironically say 'nice rack' and its a good day....

[upper narwhal]

Demo was a blast 🙂

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGXKrctptVY tnx for the demo and see you in EA

[alpine bear]

@solid nexus what video card do you have?

[solid nexus]

Errr I’ve got no idea

I took the pictures on my phone of the computer that’s probably it why it looks weird haha

Because it’s easier to send

[alpine bear]

oh cause i was gunna say the video card screenshots look terrible

I felt sorry for you

🙂

[solid nexus]

Pretty sure it’s decently old though

[tepid prism]

trying out the building system a little bit to see what works... 😅

[solid nexus]

Yeah sorry it’s just easier to take it on my phone lol

[rare forge]

Reading this channel from time to time, it's honestly insane what you guys do!

Let's see what will be possible with 4 full sets of buildpieces instead of like 1 and a half in demo!

[old valley]

Excited to try it all out!

[compact fog]

Holy skull and cross bones! I only hope to ever achieve this level of greatness☠️

[crisp dome]

I made a quick video about the Fort I'm building... I was building. Since the DEMO gets a "sunset" on Tuesday I won't have time to finish it. Too bad, because I barely finished the external walls.. the market place, the chapel, and the other little houses that would bring life to the fort are not even outlined yet. At the end it would resemble a stronghold that became a trading hub overtime.... with a secret dungeon, prison and an even more hidden treasury included. Basically it's the maze I made for the building competition with roof. I was told I should share it. 🙂
https://youtu.be/TrsHWQvBGeE

Btw, the 3 lighted rooms normally includes (in order) a bunch of angry dodos, a smaller but still scary amount of boars and for last a single savage boar in the circular room before you have a chance to open the chest.

[ionic sparrow]

Our 2 bases we built with a friend were not much bigger and still it was super satisfying and amazing. For some reasons, the base building in this game looks so cool even when you build small.

[rocky raven]

it is ^w^ its feels like a beach hom you wanna visit ^w^! its very lovely!

[cloud iron]

Question, on those really big builds they are sharing with everyone and the contest people. How many hours (including gathering materials) does it take to make something like that? Just an Idea from people who really know and not guessing LOL

[proper crow]

Can only say for myself, but I probably spent 10 hours grinding for mats + 40 hours building = 50 hours. Others have spent much more time than that and I've also spent 3x more since then with additional improvements, new buildings and mods.

[silk oracle]

The build the Dev's shared was 2 people and 100 hours, and that was with building materials you'll have access to in Early Access. What people did with the demo materials was crazy cool for limited building access.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghgpD91rAc0

[upper narwhal]

400 hours for me

plus 100+ hours looking at others creations, learning the engine-limits and how to combine stuff in free mode without snapping .. watching old blueprints about fortresses and ships like the mayflower and havanna, cartagena etc.

[cloud iron]

Wow thanks everyone, I hope to get more into base building on EA but I am not very good even in other games but will learn in time. Now I know to expect say 100 hours which is way ok as I hope this is like a few of my games of over 700 hours 🙂

Salamat po

[upper narwhal]

it will be easy >700 hours for me 🙂 But i also have games >25k hours ... so i guess i just have too much time in general ^^

[cursive walrus]

The curved wall construction shown in the trailer blew my mind. I've never played a game where you could do something like that. 😯

[upper narwhal]

still i would like to see finer rotation steps. 15 30 45 90 degree rotation is nice, but i hope we can get down to 5% rotations at one point. But i dont know how the snapping is coded and how much work would have to go into that.

[upper narwhal]

yep - comming from hideout-creations in path of exile/ path of exile 2, this engine has so much more options compared to the iso/3d fixed decorations we have there.

[cursive walrus]

Have you seen the new construction trailer? The curved wall is insane!

[upper narwhal]

yep 🙂

[cursive walrus]

Circular walls and builing forts. It seems much freer than the rotation provided in the demo.

But I could be wrong.

[upper narwhal]

we will see soon 🙂

[cursive walrus]

2 more days. It goes by fast.

[upper narwhal]

have to get some more achivements in the poe-league - so i may start a day or 2 late ^^

[cursive walrus]

I was more used to Ark/Conan Exiles. Basically, only squares and triangles were available; you had to be very creative to explore them.

[upper narwhal]

did play ark on release and got 200$ for one of the early Arkitect

but the engine was badly optimized and took a heavy toll on my pc

Went on to other games before it got good mods

[cursive walrus]

Yeah, I played it a few years ago, after Conan it's the game I have the most hours on Steam. But yes, it's incredibly demanding.

[upper narwhal]

played conan for a while with friends ... stopped as they took away instances that i had bought with an expansion as they changed the monetarisation

the engine was amazing for things like how far you could see mobs in the distance .. or the rays from sun etc.

[cursive walrus]

I usually play these survival games solo. Conan with friends is fun, but my time is also quite limited, and I always ended up falling behind eventually.

[upper narwhal]

did the gathering with 5 ppl for our base

for me its the opposite - too much time 🙂 so i do a 2nd base if they are offline ^^

[cursive walrus]

One of the reasons Windrose appealed to me was that it's a single-player game. If it were exclusively multiplayer, I probably would have passed on it.

[upper narwhal]

yep solo and my own speed is one of the selling-point for me too

[cursive walrus]

But it's cool to be able to take your character to other instances. Normally you create a character exclusively for multiplayer and have separate progression. I found that quite interesting.

[upper narwhal]

yep. Only problem i have is my PC ... still waiting (for a year now) for the case to come out to build a new one. 5080 and 1200w power supply and m2 and ssds are allready here and waiting for the rest.

[cursive walrus]

You can see the sparkle in the fish's eyes with a setup like that. 🤣

[silver pollen]

guys remember this is the creative channel :)

[cursive walrus]

Oh, right. Sorry about that, just got carried away

[upper narwhal]

ok ^^

will go for something like that again in EA - but get the lower part of it into the water and build the dock from there

shrink it a bit and hopefully the masts will be ok this time
