or make it a broken stranded ship - plant trees into it and make it a large piece of the town without the need for high masts and sails
This will be my base, if I can build it with whatever is made available.
and i will build a large pirate cape in the EA as soon as i have a new rig to handle it
I just wanna build an obscenely tall tower
But I doubt that will be possible.
you most likely will be able to - with enough time and skale even with the stones ingame in the demo
I'll get as close to that as I can.
with those you can shape allmost anything
the more detail - the larger you have to go
i just tested creating a mountain at the outside of my large cave
Yes. If I treat them as pixels and build them large enough, I think I can get a good result.
yep
you can go round .. like here - get things sticking out or missing like beeing shot at or very old ..
You can do absolutely silly things with the dock in this game. Like two or three stories of height per dock silly.
Me with valheim using a tree as a anchor point to build a stupidly tall structure.
reached max too fast as i could not use docks above the top deck of the ship .. allready used the flagpole up there
so i will put a good part into water (or make it look like it is) next time
You'll lose some of that height you're trying to gain due to the ground on which you're building going lower. But might work nontheless. Looking forward to your next attempt, that first one was already mostly impressive 🙂
I been looking everywhere and cant find anything about a level cap. Is there a max level or can you level up as high as u want ?
only just started the demo a few days ago and ready for launch. But already rebuilding my town, looking to do similar in early access.
man.. wish i was that creative
alot of practice in alot of different building games. but also im no where near what some people do. my main thing for when I get into early access will be a town that feels real. after that ill try and go nuts. I want functional and what would look real first.
Only God Can Grant Eternal Life, Not This Pagan Water
Humble little home
So you want your roof to stick out a little from the building, here\s what I do. Put a 1x1 floor at the corner 1 block down, turn off snapping and put a stick in the middle. This will help things line up nicely.
My hut was just three blueprint houses in a row, with the walls broke out between them. Since there were no invasions, and nothing burst out of the treeline to eat me, there wasn't even a fence or wall.
Oh there will be things bursting out of the treeline... Mark my words...
Maybe one day we could get a 60 gun galleon in a update. 60 gun galleon please! Thank you please!
I believe I saw earlier discussion of the top tier ship in EA being 90-100 guns
Oh I hope so!👀
theres even double rainbows :D
throwing it in here before the demo is gone. had a blast with it
Small demo build
wish I had gotten more time with the demo only found it this weekend. some of your builds are fantastic. cant wait to build more in ea
Messing a bit with 3d printing, bored while waiting for release.
Those are dope! ❤️
Do you take requests? Dope print work XD
tnx 🙂 The ground will not be lower under the middle of the ship - i will just dig arround the ship to make it look like it is in the water for a good part (or hopefully will get it look like it does). And in the middle the pier will go up just under the upper deck to support the masts from there
Just a sample of what I created.
The entire series of screenshots can be found in the Media Sharing channel under Mayan Ruins: Temple of the Great Dodo.
Enjoy, me heartys!
Early Access is upon the horizon!
no, i am just messing around in different cad modeling software, testing things, bought printer few months ago, still a noob.
wouldnt have a heart to sell something like this because it looks cute but finishing and design is bad and basic.
i will however upload files to relevant 3d printing communities (printables, makerworld) for others.
good thing it doesnt carry over into Early Access
ohhh
now I need to build these again in early access
I was just building a tavern
It'll be better in EA
I would straight up need one in my kitchen and another in the living room...
Do we know if the game will have much much more construction pieces and decorations? Is it planned to be a main focus?
So many base building games where you can only build shoe boxes. Demo was so promising for this matter, do we know how the devs see the future of the game on this particular aspect of the game?
The EA has a lot more construction pieces than the demo
I hope so and hope they cover us if any part get missing. Seeing the amazing stuff community built in demo!
I don't want to be inpolite, but are you aware of the building contest that happened here earlier? You can see a few not exactly shoebox even from the currently available parts...
Check some of the latest trailers to see some of the new pieces
I exactly said that THIS game was so promising compared to others about base building....
Of course i seen the many great creations of people here and i was just hoping base building and decorations remain a prior feature for the devs. 🙂
And that they keep expanding possibilities over the years because man, we can create bases that look like real cities hand crafted by devs. It's the dream!
Sorry for the misreading. There will be more styles and decoration, but what I meant to say even with these parts the possibilities are far from depleted I think. 🙂
Yes, and I expect more DLC-style new questlines as soon as the dev realizes we finish the main story in a week. 😅
Oh yeah i agree with you. Honestly, i cannot wait to see what others will build and it's one of the first game where i feel like "hey I'm going to spend hours to create base a little everywhere just because it will look cool" ahahah
Don't scare them before game is even out 
Since I'm waiting for EA to release, I'm putting paint on my 6th Rate Frigate for a pirate miniatures game.
You know what would be a great idea, is re-occuring quests for the players.
These can be like defending a ship on your side, or doing cargo runs yourself.
Treat it like AC Black Flag where you could send a ship on a mission, and have those "legendary ships" to battle like AC Black Flag had.
And since they have the artifact as the main story questline, I don't think they're too busy grounding this in realism. So we could introduce more sea boss threats like the Megalodon, Kraken with their own spin to it. We only have the drowned, but I'm sure they'd implement skeleton enemies, or skeleton crews as well. Just a lot of possibility to this game when you don't have to worry about grounding yourself in actual realistic pirate stuff.
All I care about, creatively speaking, is creative mode(unlimited resources) and freecam mode for building. Regardless I think it will be fun but those are high on the wish list 🙂
The current cam mode is actually great for building. But I agree with a free cam mode. Also creative mode should have unlimited resource spending because the mod doesn't do that
agreed the extended camera view IS handy and better than other games do it, but I have found close up work gets finicky. I want to do detail work but my big ol' head literally gets in the way. Detached camera is pro stylz 😛
I'm glad these devs know that gamers hate going back and forth to chests.
Thank you for letting us craft from chests
Oh totally agree! 100% a pleasant feature!
Laaaazzzyyyy! 😂 😂 😂
true story 😛
Posting this here for future reference: when ship customization comes in, anyone here who wants either pixel art of their ship (and also optionally wants to spice up their ship) can request art from time to time! I've mostly just created this art for myself, but it looks like this server is the perfect place for others to spice up their ship as well. These are the examples I have on my desktop, but I have a good personal portfolio saved up over the years (Schooners, Barques, Brigs, Galleons, etc.).
(Those are indeed both a Fire Nation ship and a United Republic warship)
i love these so much
my final building for my demo town. The brothel. The small port town has a pier and wharf a tavern on the pier, 2 houses, a kitchen house, a space off the town square for crafting all in one space and the town square aka the Bon fire. Was alot of fun can't wait to really build a major port town in ea.
Yah, I suppose it's now or never for this. I would have loved to have finished fleshing out a beachside bazaar and a lumbermill as well as finish decorating the interior of the the Tavern....alas time has run out. So excited for tomorrow!
You guys did amazing builds - hat off to you all
You can already build whatever you want for 90 percent. If you can imagine it you can build it.
Yeah i mean, as long as they make sure we have beams and stuff in all materials that make sense, it's true that we already have a good amount of choice thanks to that sweet 15° rotation tool. That is pure Badassery. 🙂 I'm so thankful the devs gave us that freedom
From what I’ve seen in the demo a lot of building mechanics are the same as SoulMask, and I made some insane designs there
So it’s gonna be great building wise. I just hope bases have a lot of function too and you get followers there that really have a purpose.
I don't know if it's me that was not advanced enough in the game but I really have the feeling i had more freedom in Windrose.
Or maybe it's the pirate theme that is more inspiring who knows 
Maybe a bit of both or the mechanics are more intuitive for you in WindRose compared to SoulMask.
Anyways both do the building right at least
Little authentic 18th century caribbean windmill... unfortunately not 100% finished, because tomorrow EA release... oh my 😅
I hope I can get good at building good looking stuff like I see on here when the game drops because I love games where I can build cool good looking stuff.. but the probably is I suck at building cool good looking stuff hahaha
Same ahah but we can take inspiration from all those people sharing incredible buildings to help create our owns 🙂
Yep I did that with minecraft for years and that is how I got to a point of finally being ok haha not great but just good enough that I was happy lol
Day 54
The calm afore the storm.The fleet be assembled - all the captains have struck hands on the plan, bold and brimming with confidence. But I knows better, I do - too much confidence makes a fool careless, and we can't be losin' this one… else we'll all hang from the gallows. If we even live through the trial, that be. I don't reckon the Spaniards'll yield, and the battle'll be fierce as a tempest.
Come the morrow, we'll be rich as kings… or dead as driftwood. There be no other fate - may Lady Luck favor us. Fer now, let's make merry through the night… it may well be our last.
-T.
Dude I can't believe you made a SPIRAL STAIRCASE out of the beams??? You're expanding my brain
Can even do that in very small, like in the smallest round structure possible, 12x 15° half walls:
I love that, looks so much better than what I did with a spiral and the actual stairs
Yeah, the actual stairs, at least in the demo build, need way too much space to be viable in very small structures
When PVP is coming ?
rotating the roof in a specific way can make a perfectly round roof. wonder if they will add official ones later.
its not
A lust for treasure xD
whats a pirate game without him, obligatory mighty pirate
Reminder that ai or ai assisted content is not aloud in #🎨│creative
height limit?
couldnt have asked for a better starting location for my first town I love it !!!
BENJAMIN HORNYGOLD!!!
Hi Team, looking to make my village with a rock at the back and a building (lighthouse?) ontop, is there different map seeds? All my starter island all look very similar

How you turn off the HUD?
Use your / key
You have english keyboard, yes?
I wish we can change that key bind I dont have english keyboard
How you can change...? i can't see the toggle HUD or somthing like this in keys..
I didnt thats why I said "I wish"
Direcly at right Shift?
Maybe something that will be added in the future being able to remap the keybinds
It's the / key that's on the right side
on the numpad? not working for me
I think the button directly left from right shift.. i see now the english key
I think the one of 2 red marked key....
Try this 2 (and try with Shift or Alt or Ctrl) or Shift+7
nope still not working
The one at Numpad?
nope
Is ship customization a thing in the EA? im at work and ive not been able to check yet
Can anyone show me what it looks like? Or is it rather just the prefab type ships from ||the demo that was leaked?||
looks like this
I posted my question in General but it's super busy, perhaps here is the place to ask - I like taking screenshots - is there a way to turn off the HUD for that?
says "standard sail colors"
its the "/" key
Thank you!
you're welcome
Thank you, is there any new building sets that are different from the demo/unlocked items? Or is it still alot of the same?
actually I couldnt find the wooden set
||then I bought from tortuga||
||it cost like 10 guinea||
is anyone know where is the second treasure in these camps?
Hello everyone ^_^
Whos willing to screenshot for me the Islands (map)
It's randomly generated.
The POI will probably be the same for everyone but each island shape and POI locations will be different for everyone
read the note nearby... says it's buried under a nearby tree with red flags
so bring a shovel 🙂
Spent all my money on gas, now I can’t be a pirate. 😭 thanks government.
Anyone know where this island is
We set out to build the biggest pirate fortress in all of Windrose— and we actually did it. From scouting the perfect island to building towering walls, watch as we turn a quiet mountain into a pirate stronghold unlike anything the seas have seen. This is Tortuga reborn.
#piratesurvival #crosswind #windrose
----------------------------------...
Islands are randomly generated, each island is unique to your save
so how big is the map now?.. like how many islands in EA?
The shiny
its hard to tell right now
thanks a lot
I believe the devs have stated there are 30 islands currently.
That's already a good amount from what I'm seeing.
I think I saw like 14-15
map is huge
Has anyone managed to find any large scale islands yet similar to the kill zone islands from the demo?
This game probably has the best survival game building mechanics I've ever seen lol
If you think you can mess around and do something you probably can
Phasing stone walls through fences for a unique palisade wall aesthetic
theres a building comfort area thats linked to the bon fire but you can build outside of that. bug you can also place bonfires anywhere so
Is there a limit on pieces you can place or lights?
free reign
but be prepared to farm materials for hours to place anything and everything. I had a small town port in the demo and that took me 20 something hours. ive seen people with massive cities and buildings that must have taken a long time.
I play pax dei over 2k hours, farming no issue lol
Most hardcore farming thats out rn
I love farming and cutting trees 🙂
tbh I did alot of building in valheim and ended up doing dev commands for materials. but in windrose I feel like I dont need to even tho it can get daunting.
Ya towards the end i did to, looking forward to playing later c ya thanks for answers
Tbh I find that after the first 6 hours or so (basically the tutorial you cover in the demo) farming really isn't that hard
You get a lot of stone from mining ores so you never really need to go out of your way for it
And once you start taking ships and sailing the seas you'll pick up hundreds of flotsom wood every like 10 mins
its the damn wood for me i hate deforesting near my builds unless im intentionally clearing lol
Yeah I haven't farmed for wood since I hit the sea
There are barrels everywhere that contain like 20 to 50 wood in every one and going from point a to b you can hit like 10 barrels
I havent left the starting island tbh but had to go to work so only got like 3 hours in earlier. but have like 400 wood stockpiled for later
Between that and clearing shipwrecks every now and then unless you have a major building project you shouldn't need much more
lmao oh you farmed farmed
lol
Based
I picked the beaches clean this morning lol
They never stood a chance
trying to rebuild my port town from the demo as quick as I can. the generated island i got in ea is soooo perfect lots of beach front area to build on. way more rhen my demo build haha. and tbh im a builder I like building if a game allows me to.
Yeah I didn't mess around with farming or building in the demo too much because I knew it wouldn't last
It's made playing around with building more fun now lmao
it gave me ideas atleast for what I could do in the release. but I completed all the stuff in the demo so I just built on the last day lol. thats where I ran into the wood issue. kept having to go and hack the jungle down lol
Chain shot works for that
sorry.
a request: please can somone post some nice pictures from the game so i can attempt to draw them 😄
Check out their media kit (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1IZoe3dtVPeESBlDjc_502xGJpyDSUalM), there are screeshots and art work there 🙂
when they are too strong or to many cage em.
good ole 6x4 starter base
i realized only after i placed foundations that the games 1x1 is 1/4 their size. i couldn't be bothered placing 4 times the amount of walls to cover them up at the time lol.
amazing island for a base i think
im already seeing a tower on it
and a bridge between the rocks
inb4 4000 stones farmed
I am too used to Deathsquitos to have open windows and gaps in my walls. WAY too used to enemies crashing my party when I'm trying to craft stuff. >.>
i farmed about 10k stone for the demo, this time I'll just cheat myself that many because i feel like i already did the work lol
man of culture
I'm very creative.
question for the builders: question: when i place items, sometimes it's green or yellow, what's the difference? I placed a smelter outside and it can be both, but can be used no matter what.
So is it better when it's green or yellow?
Also i placed an armor workbench and it was not under a roof but green, could not be used, while yellow under a roof and could be used, so yellow is related to something different?
i believe its the strength basicly, like in valheim stuff will go yellow if the structure is getting close to breaking point, red = it will fall apart
Starting village!
it's perfect 
it shows yellow/green at the moment of placing it tho
You must have found an unstable ground then maby. I didnt have those problems
This is a beautiful little starter village, amazingly done
Its already my Game of the Year. I Love it so much ❤️
If I create a new world I’ve gotta do all the quests again right?
Or are they character bound
U can create a new World with ur current Pirate so u have all the quests done iirc
Well then, Time to eat huh?! 
finally finished my blacksmith
I made a bed!
5,4 hours in dont even have a ship yet got alittle sidetracked
when unstable it's red so i can't put it
evening mood 🙂
ontop of one of the ruins?
yeah \closes to the water as well
little beach dock in progress
I was thinking of doing that as well just wasnt sure if the spawns would mess it up
didnt have any dodos spawn in since
good to know. looks good
since my demo build i havent done much in ea lol. I have my pier my tavern connected but no walls or anything sitting on 600 wood but don't have the wall pieces I need yet for the build to really begin.
captain is back
The risk I took was calculated but man, am I bad at math
God DAM IT... lol sorry windrose.. im still hook on crimson desert... please keep up the hard work team. Ive played the demo and i love it! I will see yall after ive beaten crimson desert. 😅😅😅
Im the captain now
I'm going to make this my swimming pool 🤣
Yeah, explore = more patterns/plans
question anyone know if theres a VERY small island i with a ruin on it or a small isolated island in general
basicly base size or smaller
The boars when they see me ^
It's possible to build a medieval house that everyone likes
I just started an hour ago, I'll get there one day lmao
Built this poor dastardly a grave. Requiescat in pace.
wow youre quick at progressing
and so it begins....
easier to use light attacks and point up.
something is prowling outside my base
Anybody got any bases they wanna show off? my friend likes base building but doesn't know what it looks like in game yet and I wanna show him
thats SoT
you can prob make a building similar to that
Thank you for the inspiration. Cause I'm giving this a try right now.
absolutely love it. giving off almost viking building vibe
🌅 🏴☠️
Anyone else build on top of the mine?
Work in progress lol
Annoying how long it takes to reset
tuff bro
Like in the demo the ore is too high.
When you build your first tiny base you want to make It somewhat pretty.
i just go to another island
1/3 have a copper mine
feels like it
How should I close off these corners of my roof
Roof corner
If you don’t have it yet go explore some ruins
Starter island base. I like to keep a small base here so I can come back and forage in peace.
Nah you've got some more building in you
finally got 40/40 challenges on path of exile .. and the ketch 🙂
win makeup or nah
mid
Haters will say its mid
You asked 😅
🤣🤣🤣
And if you make them from stone, you already have it in your inventory since the "poor copper" has stone mixed with it 😁
My own little window dressing on my lil starter hut
Yep! I just realized that! haha.
Bro ran them to extinction again
I’m very good at that in games
for an Alaskan, these beach views are amazing and comfort my frozen soul.
side question, is there a way to turn the hud off?
Yes, press forward slash /
I'm playing with controller. So I hope they give us a key option for that in the future. 🙂
good name for a ship
My ship is "The Plumber's Kraken" 😛
same here
Alaska is a amazing place to live, i lived in Fairbanks 15 years ago
blackbeard is having a bad day loool
Where is everyone building there main bases near the boat quest or some where after that ??
Im building on starter island
but now after I saw these huge islands on second area Im going to move here but this area is very diffucult
like there is level 7 ||wolfs ||everywhere
Yeah it’s a hard one to pick ahahah I just didn’t think starter island was a good idea as when you build the ship you need everything over near that really
still searching for the right land, the building trailer really inspire me much dunno i can do liek that tho
they are scary lol
I only built a functional shack for now, looking for a cool place where to start my base 😊
hello , my name is captain smith, and this is the story of my life...🤣
Just wait till you get to the foothills
Those musketeers are on some Wanted ball knowledge
I was shot MID DODGE yesterday
same here
I just fought with two lvl 10 sergents at the same time, it was brutal
Walking into an enemy camp in the foothills gives me more fear of gun violence than downtown Detroit
dude same
thats how I do it xd
have you foundout how to unlock foothils discovery?
yeah taht
I beat that boss at lvl7 too just progress through the main quest
its very hard though
o that quest i tried going in it said not yet or something
there is both side and main mission on that boss
easy thank you lol
just upgrade your all armor and weapons to max make yourself good food and drink and dont forget potion
its really hard
if you parry his attacks its much more easier
this game is beatifull
It is beautiful, I keep stopping to take photos
I got extremely lucky with the perfect starter island. has so much beach front. it sticks out off rhe island haha strip of grass and trees and beach on both sides of it. and just a few feet away theres a massive beach front that goes from the water line that comes inland. had to place 2 or 3 bonfires for comfort level. but its perfect for having a lighthouse. port and the town all in one strip without bunching it
Anyone know if there is a way to rollback the server
No. And if It's a hosted server, you'll have to contact the owner.
So the owner can rollback the server?
Asking cuz we got griefed and it killed my motivation ngl
If he has backups, yes.
finally built the Brig lets goooooooo
So the big fella is no longer with us🫣🫣😭😓😓 back to building haha 😂👍
can you screenshot inside the cabin broooo
has a pretty huge underdeck
it is beatifull the ship model is very well made
Can you put decor on your ship?
This small platform and little teeny weeny house had me mine and look for stone for 4hours
nice
Not a showcase of a build but more of an appreciation post to the devs. Been following this game since it was first announced, played the playtest and demo a whole lot...man, Thank you for making an absolute banger!!! hats off to the entire dev team!
I've been working on this piece for the past few days while waiting for game to release.
Timelapse link for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEsBPb3wCDs
cheers!
Ahoy! video has no audio, so no need to turn the shanties off. enjoy!

Might need to harvest a little more stone to continue this tower...
roughly the size of the bonfire's secondary construction guide circle
Where you found blueprint for wooden bean?
Buy it in tortuga
yeah tortuga
there is a lot of recipies there you can buy but you need reputation
Need buy plans timber pillars. Beams and Frences?
you have to buy plans for everything
some missions give you some decorations but others you have to buy
It's correct, but now I want build bridges and need beam for craft
My fail, need timber, if I buy decor plan with him I unlock craft timber?
1b5a0524
You can only unlock timber by beating the coastal jungle boss and then getting hardwood from the foothills trees
first base 
wooo 😮
everyone always come up with great things. and there are good inspiration but I hate copying other people's builds. keep up the good work guys
Made a bit more progress on the tower...
should acquire more recipes before I build too far on it...
my building so far, work in progress 😄
Thoughts on the bridge? Making a covered crossway to a lighthouse I plan on putting on the outer rock. I feel like the stone might be the wrong choice for the walls.
dang, that bridge is nice! good work
holy crap, that's impressive!!
Kind of like logs more... but... Still feels off.
I think it looks better with the stone
Yeah. My issue I think was the center part between windows in the first version. Adding the pattern makes me like it more.
Windows and wood beam pattern pop out with this one more
Not sure if that's a good thing or not lol
I say it as a good thing
Where can I find more blueprints? The ruins of the early 3 islands didnt give me what I ended the demo with
My humble little dock
oooo, that's a good change. I love the contrast between the wood and stone
Who is the jungle boss?
Im trying to get the hardwood timber stuff but cant figure it out..
I killed a big boy in a cave, dunno if thats him
In our latest music video, we use our new favorite game to tell the story of John and his encounter with cannonballs. (Traditional Irish Folk Music)
As always, special thanks to the devs and this lovely community! https://youtu.be/o7BC62cE56c
"My Son John", (also known as "Mrs. McGrath", "My Son Ted", and "The Sergeant and Mrs. McGrath") is an old Irish Folk Song from the early nineteenth century. We usually perform original songs, but this one is such a classic for the seas that it seemed appropriate. In this video we are telling the story of John, and his father. The video was m...
Nicceeee!! GG
Did they ever make it where people can man the cannons not just ai?
its early access 🙂 ask harder ^^
Thats gonna ruin friendships lol
The one you have to beat as you go along the main story, if you killed a big guy in a cave and then reported back to dr galen then you've killed the right one, now you need to sail to islands until you find the next biome, it will look like a bunch of steep cliffs on the outside with visible grassland valleys in the middle, occaisonally there will also be big avatar looking trees in it you can see from far away, once you get to that biome find the biomes trees (not the big avatar one) and cut them down to get hardwood
Okay i killed said guy and spoke to doc, also found foothills island
But no wood lol
Maybe wrong trees?
Using the iron axe, is that correct?
Were the arches from a specific blueprint pack?
Where you get the windows from
i can tell you what they're called. but i have no idea where i got them. sry
Ok what they called
Thanks
no problem 🙂
does anyone have any good techs or suggestions for building a curved stone staircase with minimal clipping?
Curved no.
Just have a flat square portion with 180 degree bend
Or, build flat part then have stairs at a slight angle, then another flat with another slight angle turn, etc
thanks mate
🤔 question: what made you decide where to build?
Just the aesthetic of the location or the fact it was close to a mine or camp?
I have found a very pretty island but there's nothing on it 😔
combo of both
theres like 30+ islands
but with fast travel
It was the starting island hahahhahaa
u can fast travel to resources
crazy that we’re getting a first rate, it would have been impossible for pirates to use such behemoths; but for my comfort pirate fantasy game, she’s perfect
Still haven't rescued my crew yet but I think I'm starting to feel satisfied with my workshop
might be ready to go out and get a ship
Did anyone else use the shovel to flatten land to build on ? Or did you just stack up foundations?
I'm finding this shovel extremely slow
i did, in the demo as in EA the shovel was a bit...odd
I mean ... yes its flat. But this was like... 30 minutes of work.
flattening seems to take the height as it feels like sometimes and raising ground to flatten that gets blocked in a bit too large of a radius from structures. any structures.
its a lotof guesswork if it fits or not xD
how did you get those staircases? also, have not found a way to curve stairs yet either
One thing I noticed, which might be the issue. It is trying to make a square even though the tool is a circle.
When I got to an edge and was raising, it makes a perfectly straight slope in the circle as it rasies.
i got the recipes at tortuga from one of the faction reputations there
sweet okay! ty!
My lil village so far! obsessed with this game
it was a lot harder to dig the underwater trench for the ketch than you would expect
1 Part It's going to be a long process xD
build a pier? nah dig the water
I hope they update the digging so that we can dig dipper.
I have te same sort of idea.
Well you can make a pyramid with no problem. Lol
that is sick haha
You used stairs? Noooo....
Dude make it with the sloped walls
Mine looks so much better than that
well have 1300 wood stockpiled and like 900 plus stones but dont have the parts I want to use from the demo still. I feel so unacomplished so far with my port town
It was the first of 3 and that is going to be the smallest ill try the sloped walls on the next one
Good, its waay better looking trust me
I'm so happy I did this, inspired by someone else here. Now maybe I should go play to not be lvl 1 LOL
Yeah, focus on people of tortugas blueprints. those slap
Im yet to find their island
Its a shame I have so much stuff for them too
i need a large ammount of stone anybody know a place?
Lil starter base with all the essentials
How difficult is it to find hardwood and flax over on the foothills, just nipping there quickly to get my needs and bug out XD
nice casa
flax is kinda rare I think
I just found a few and started growing at my base
It's coming together
Dang you got all them building plans already
when you have ocd and are slightly autistic about building, let me tell you, I've slept 4 hours last night.
SEND REINFORCEMENTS!
hoi lad looks like mine a bit
roofs are a mess still lol
I made a Waffle House
Need an opinion. Which looks better for the foundation, the wood or the stone?
Feel like as much as I want to use the stone, it just looks bad with plaster walls
Redid so much, was trying to avoid redoing the floor too. But I feel like its needed to get the look right.
Building is so fun!!!!
Was unreasonably happy when I was able to replace the starter bandana with this hat. Took a screenshot and tried to edit it to kinda look like an old-timey painted portrait 
Now to find an even bigger hat 
Looks like the tree met its match ... meaning my head. lol
i hope building on point of interests wont get removed, i love building on top of them
found an amazing island to build my port city onto
whats the best way to get new stuff to build with?
Yar, get yerself a Corona
This brief snipit looks amazing, I have a couple questions tho and hope they are allowed here. 1. How long did it take you to unlock all those building pieces? 2. Are you playing solo or with a group? 3. How long did it take to build all that?
im solo, takes a good while tbh cause u need to buy the blueprints with piastre or gold coins which are kinda quite expensive tbh
thanks, dont be shy to ask questions man.
I took my sweet old time today, did the base
I would love a full base tour video, as what I saw looked awesome.
want me to stream it for ya here on discord ?
its not 100% done tho in the back
sure, that'd be awesome let me grab my headphones. oh and did you have to grind rep along with the coins before you could buy the parts?
sound from game?
Finally got to a point where I can start building
just started a warehouse on the side of the pier
im in the bottom channel
Good evening friends, where can I sell these goods?
brt
it's not letting me join the voice channel for some reason
had to open the app instead of web browser
You seeing it ?
whats the fastest way to unlock better building stuff
WORK IN PROGRESS
Movin' right along

Fastest way I've done it is getting rep with everyone through ship battles
first extention on my first house, cant wait to explore more with the building in this game
hope this counts as creative 😄
im stealing this fireplace idea. lol. i like that. good job
need to unlock those building pieces tho 😄
nothing like yalls but i just started and im quite proud of it lol
That's actually hilarious! But also... I had no idea you could dig little streams like that... I knew you could dig but I didn't know you could have like water in where you dug... that's flipping awesome!
I have not checked if there is also water if you dig deep enough into soil, but in the beach areas you hit water quickly. Game is a ton of fun.
I used the shovel to level my beach for my place
Got around to making a real pier for once so I can stop the 10 second swim of shame every time I summon the thing.
as close to goth pirate as I could get
CAPTAIN SLACK BARROW ON HIS WARSHIP
got some screenies from inside the frigates cabin?
niceeee
Got a better ss
I wish traders doesnt need roof
Great stuff guys! And im loving this game 😅
Magnificent indeed 👍
🐗
spot next to the pub in Tortuga needed an upgrade (inside not done yet)
yo what outfit is that??
edit: tracker fit for anyone wondering
I hope they let the decorative awnings count as a roof in the future.
Well it's something...
actualy I found something and its work like a roof now it works
I think its called pier decoration plans? idk
this one
every time i come across a small isle with some rocks i think wow, that would be great for a base, and then suddenly i come across this massive thing
feels like i could build a whole Anno city on there lol
oh it's foothills, was confused because the coast is still coastal jungle
how dod you edit fov when sailing 😭
press f and it'll zoom you out
unfinished work, i like the height but its not pirate enough...
Beginning of something bigger. Need more building recipes and I'll keep you updated on this project
those banana trees? they look really good there
Ficus trees
i gotta get some of those to place around my set up
I need to figure it out how to plant more trees on the stone yard. They need to be placed on the sand directly. I need to test what happen if I plant them under and then build over
i've been able to build through trees just above the stump and they stay so maybe something like that could work
Yes, but it still “very close”
Need to be tested trees and planted trees are different object and they behave might to be different
tiny bit of reshade done now doesnt look oversaturated with colours
love the look you're going for very different. also those roof pieces I need them lol.
what set is that pier
?
Now that's a nice location for a build
I found a place kinda similar. I'm really considering it, as it would challenge me to build something different than what I usually do.
🤔 I also found a few interesting places. I may take some screenshots and ask your opinion on where to start building.
😂 I played almost 15 hours and I'm still living in a shack, I need to fix that lol
has anybody else found an island with the resources and biome of the foothills in the first map?
Sail out far enough and you can find it without fighting the boss
I did, that's why I was asking. I wondered if it happened on every map or if I just got lucky.
Im pretty sure thats just how the world is generated. in a circle with stages
my buddy went out exploring while I was questing and found the swamp biome
and immediately proceeded to get his level 4 character get dumpstered by a level 13 mob
that is exactly what happened
he was smart enough to drop a tent for respawn, so he spent the next half hour dying to the mob over and over and over until he won
what building set is this??? nice looking
The grind mindset is real.
Nothing like a little dredging to increase mobility...
the way we went about it?
Pier foundation submerged so that character stands roughly chest-high in water.
That way, digging deep enough is possible while not starting to swim (too often)
add and remove foundations / floor pieces to get access to all the submerged dirt.
Some screens, imma make a post in media sharing cuz this game looks STUNNING and im spending more time screenshotting things than plyaing 😭 🙏🏻
Base pier and stone foundation you can buy for reputation on one of Tortuga merchants
Omg I forgot we have a shovels 🤯
heh
Thanks to this trick we can rise the sand just above stone foundation and plant trees 😍 @quartz atlas
@keen agate can't wait to have time to find a location cool like that. Very nice island
This game is amazingggggg
Awesome pics! Is it possible to pause time in-game? Or how did u do this? 😱
Tower is taller now.
Does anyone know a place that has the structure types shown so we can know what we are paying for with our hard earned gold? Just a picture of the walls would be great. I asked in General but it scrolled by faster than you can say YARRRR! lol
Me and my buddy have a port going on
yall build so much better than me lol
@shrewd magnet Scam above
Amazing picture.
.<
Me?
Yeah, check DMs. (But let's not have a convo here)
little starting house I made
I wish I had friends to play this with
Oh.. I see ;P
What’s the max amount of boats you can have docked ?
I have 4 rn and I’m scared to add any more incase there’s a cap to it
Rn we have 6
Ah ok perfect thank you
I noticed some aspects of building don’t require the bonfire. Do player structures built outside the fire radius decay? Pre planning my construction project. For anyone else searching discord the answer is no. It’ll just limit access to build storage / deco.
Oh thanks for letting me know. I was curious too @wary vapor
hi, im trying to figure out where to get better roofs for my base, I bought some roof blueprints for reputation but none of them are usable the way I want, I need a 1x1 45degree roof wooden or tiled but cant seem to figure out where to get it
You get new blueprints as you progress the game
im tryna start my build and whats the deal with the double doors? they dont even line up properly with prebuilt structures nevermind playermade
how am i meant 2 use these
first pass at a little base with a port, already planning on moving things around
unlink the object (press P) or enlarge your house
That's the issue with this game. Once you're done building, you already have a new idea and start to dismantle things to change where they are and how they look ahah
Looks fire. What set is that?
well got my mansion in my little pirate cove. WIP to decorate the whole shabang
Where is that?? Can u dm me a map location pls or post it as a spoiler
Location is amazing 🤯
what blueprint are those brick tiles? I have the tilted roof tiles but dont have the rest
Anyone think the game is missing some core elements to being a pirate on an island?? Like fishing, water collection and thirst? That and some more locate animals, fruits and vegetables to forage and farm?
you buy them in tortuga from factions once you get enough insignias. you need to fight a lot of ships to get them. you need a lot
the game has lots of food to farm, animals to kill. Fishing ect
there is fishing once you reach Foothils biome
I keep running out of room to store all the food i find
More would be useless if u ask me
Oh its people of tortuga? Time to farm gold 
Would be a neat spot for a base, completely hidden away in an area with a cliff overhang. rocks in front and right/left side to obscure location.
the map is different for each world. that island is usually a first biome (coastal jungle) map. should be near/around your starting island:
I discovered most of the islands so gonna have a look when i get home then, thank u!
mine was to the west of the starter, but yea all the maps are different
Oh nice
So i might have to start a few new maps 🤪
mine was west of the starter also
You have such a neat little island arrangement 😭
starter island seems the same and the other shapes are randomly used around it.
Oh my starter island was most north
all my islands are in incovenient places
i think this is working well, the clipping of the wood flooring (on the parts ive filled in already) isnt obvious so thats really nice...
this is really well done and a good idea for say like a beach boardwalk
WIP base, need to get all the blueprints to finish it
The plaster walls yeah, I do wish I could dye them or color the walls
still early days for me while i wait for the crew to have time to play, so i'm just testing the waters.
I do genuinely miss having flat roofs..
is called "floor" 😄
Same but like u said, just doesnt look pretty
Also are there only straight pieces to the spanish roof? Or do i need to unlock corners etc?
its i think 10 or 20 gold for 4 of the tile roofs, and then an extra 20 gold for "tile extras" which grants you all the rest
boss tree nearby
The big one on the left?
its a big boss tree with a boar or sum at it hard to miss
hmm
look for tree with red ribbon
ill re explore it
you have to read some of the notes. they explain stuff to you
READ???????
yes and ther WILL be more like it
Be me: Level 6
"Encounter Levels: 1-5"
sees this approaching
Send them to the bottom!
welp, coming from Valheim, the construction feels good but lacks the snapping point cycling valheim added after some time that is a top tier QoL feature
i have to get more things unlocked before doing more constructions tho lmao
a section of my bay's boardwalk
daaaaaaang
Home sweet home?
i think my next project will be kattegat
Should be easy. It's a body of water! 🤣
Yeah I find the snapping kind of wonky sometimes and miss the snap cycle feature so many of these games have added.
Definitely a bit wonky here and there yeah !
we need bigger trees 🙂
Only one thing to say to that instruction...
also remember peeps, this is the creative channel :D
if we hadn't exited the game, we'd have posted another image of our tower... Replaced two (well, 1.75ish) of the floors with nicer materials.
Ran out of stone again.
Day 2 UPDATE. I did not expect I going run out of STONE !... xD
thanks
ta muchly
hanging around with the Doctor.
Absolutely genius what youve done with the trees
Good game
what's your armor set?
also, someone has all armor sets or is there a place where we can see how they look?
It's a crit chance and crit damage set.
2 piece's I bought in Tortuga from rep merchant lvl 2 rep.
Other 2 piece's got from chests and ruins and camps o. The starter location/ first 3 islands
wip 😄
hey thats the island with the body of an among us character i was gonna build there too
Is the map the exact same for everyone?
im not sure honestly, but that island they posted a pic of is the exact same on my map, not sure if the location is the same, but the island itself is
Ahh gotcha
🤔 I don't think this island had anything on it, at least not in my world.
mine either, just a LOT of dodos
It is totally possible that the islands aren't completely randomly generate 🤔 this one definitely looks handcrafted.
i think the only thing thats random is where the islands spawn, dont think the islands themselves are generated
island spawn location and poi location on these islands as far as ive noticed
i know no one asked, but yes, yes you can make a creek lmao
Bless. If I dig far enough inland I wonder if I can make a lake
most likely not since islands have a max depth for digging :)
Darn. Oh well
ok so it's full privateer, thank you!
Amazing home
Where you find this?
Just finished the front end to the estate im building
One day i will figure "natural" lighting out 😅 😅
Yoo thats tough
Also if anyone has an idea for a staircase that doesnt look like this, lemme know lol
Yeah legit made me scrap 4 full builds already lol
Excuse the framerate
I present; Fort Phuck Off
Built on the edge of a swamp island as a bulwark against the nasties inhabiting it
edit: its not done yet, still need to build things in the inner courtyard (DEVS PLEASE GIVE US A GALLOWS DECORATION)
i do think game's lighting still has ways to go... torches just cake everything in yellow 😄
Tell me i suck at the game without telling me i suck at the game 😂😂👍
it's a tough nut to crack because humans are extremely adaptable to weird lighting situations and it's difficult to simulate that adaptability when you design rendering for your game...
I could never get the lights right in settlement builders
maybe something like this?
That would feel too "square" imo
i'm trying to make a spiral staircase for like 30 minutes now :')
that's a lot of rocks... hot damn...
my ADHD took over multiple times
i was doing the towers as beams to hold them up, then did one with the angled walls and was like "oh thats cool" then did half the outer angle on the lower bit before remembering i was doing the towers, then stopped doing both to do the parapets and cannons
over 5k stone i think
ive been sending the merchants and putting a timer on my phone for the last like 15 hours of play time
Hahhaha yeh im all over the place too
5k stone.. the grind.. i could never
the fort looks epic as hell
It does indeed!
how bout this idea
its not that bad
get the merchant from the faction shop and you can send him for 500 stone every 70 minutes for like 250 piestres
you can get spiral stairs later on
Yeh so im like reeaalllyy bad at ship battles so the coins are tough for me
Skill issue i know
Doctor who?
you can lower their hp and damage numbers in the world settings to make it easier for now until you get used to it :)
Its on its lowest already 😂👍
just get as many of these as you can and sell them to the brethren faction
And i get those how?
either craft them with those resources, or find them in the blue light ocean loot
How do you hide hud ? 😁
Pressing / key, next to shift
🧑🌾
Shovel + flatten fiber meta?
Wdym that looks dope af imo
Trench across Island
"We have the grand Canyon at home"
I got the brig!
It never occured to me to use that concept defensively but I haven't really had a problem with any respawning enemies enough to bother.
defense? nah that was just to see if i could "cut" the island in half
oh, lol
Absolutely will be using this lmfao
USA ☠️ Drops (SUB/GIFT = BADGE) ☠️WINDROSE Early access ☠️ DAY 3 ☠️
Let's sail to Tortuga!
https://www.twitch.tv/tomasthebard
I've begun making a real beach estate
I only have the basic stuff that look super ugly and i'm so bad a designing stuff anyway xD
But i guess it's a start 😅
Looks insane man!
Yours looks better then mine
Gonna steal this design
I'm sure yours look good too haha. We can't all be some Picasso builders 
Does anyone know EXACTLY how the flattening tool works because I cannot get consistent results
I'm pretty sure there is no way to be consistent lol. You just need to do it little bit by little bit. That's the only way i can somewhat achieve what i want and it's never exactly what i want 
The fact it's a fix radius doesn't help. And somehow the game allows us to dig absolutely everywhere but the 2 other options cannot which stinks
Yeah i just have no idea how to manipulate the tool to get it to do what i want
it feels RNG
My base looks like a minefield now and I have no idea how ot fix it
lmao
Yeah unfortunately it's not more precise than this. I spent quite some time messing around with the shovel in demo and yeah, it's a great tool on paper but it could use some love from the devs maybe:P
Smoothing tools for terrain manipulation in games I feel works better
Keep your enemies close but your friends closer
have to find flax to unlock it
How did you grow the trees in that stone?
if you hit the slash next to shift you can disable hud and it would look better
ooh, thanks. I was looking for a "no ui" feature and could not find it
hmm, must be a different key on a German keyboard 🤔
I will just roll my face over the keyboard til I find it 😂 . Thanks for confirming that the feature exists, I will figure it out.
Let us know how your face feels after the rolling. 
Pretty solid start I'd say!
and it works, looks like the key is hard-coded in the game, meaning it does not recognize the German input. So I had to install the US language pack and when I wanna hide it switch languages with Shift+Alt. Then it works. I guess that might be worth a support ticket with a plea to let us rebind the key (doing that now).
Nice lookin good now
right on
erosion
First Big Ship! 
Hallo my friend 🤪🤓
Any tutorials for building workshops?
wait you can tame pigs?
which faction has the best fits?
There is an item that allows you to call a tame pig
I agree. Gallows would be nice
Gather 'round, ye lazy bilge-rats! Scupper the ale and shake the sand from your boots!
Our stay in this port has grown long, and the smell of dry land is beginning to rot my very soul. The tide is turning, the wind is screaming for our sails, and the Great Blue is calling our names! We’ve spent enough gold to sink a galleon and told enough tall tales to last a lifetime, but no pirate was ever born to die in a tavern chair.
The Anchor's Aweigh at dawn! If ye aren't on deck by the time the sun kisses the mast, you’ll be left for the crabs and the tax collectors. We’re heading for open water, where the air tastes of salt and the horizon holds the promise of heavy chests and glorious plunder.
Stow your gear, sharpen your steel, and prepare the riggin’. It’s time we reminded the seven seas who truly owns 'em!
To the ships, ye scurvy dogs! Wealth and wreckage await! https://www.twitch.tv/RiikenTenkashie
The start of a TALLL tower xD
I have all this stone from copper mining. May as well use it
First try of a signaling beacon for my harbor (i wish there was a vertical snap on thos foundation block)
But at least the building mecanic are really cool and intuitive and the down to 15° of angle and ability to merge block make it so cool
took forever but I did it
Navy and EIC ship varients,,,,,,,,
Plant them before you put a stone foundation and if its to low just use shovel to rise ground 🤟
Does it have any function or is it just aesthetic?
aesthetic, since it's only function is to look good and being seen from far away (but the map, ability to put marker and even bell teleportation make that pretty useless ^^)
Damn that look good
Might make a neat upside down hull idea. Like your base is a flipped ship
Maybe add some more doors?😐
Little House...just for an NPC Trader to have a Beautifull Home 😄
Finally finished my starter house on the first island.
Now it's decoration time!
I know its not as crazy as some of these other builds but me and my budies made our own little island and its cozy and i enjoy it
Looks nice so far. Also keep in mind that others may have a tone more blueprints and wall-styles etc. to select from. ) I have still not started a propper town ... have not seen a location that looked like i want to build there. So i keep adding and testing new blueprints on my "dynamic" base that has no theme or plan how it will look before i switch to where ever my home will be.
we got lucky but also non of us have the biggest creative bugs we are all like combat junkies xD but i appreciate the words of encouragment ill keep trying to find more bp's and fine tune our little home in the virtual.
will be interesting to see what ppl will come up using this fountains stacked rotated and burried
Finally unlocked the full Spanish colonial building set
Now all that’s left is getting the decorations
Just a couple us in our dedicated server
Curious to see what you'll build if you decided to settle there!
Thank you! I'll try it when I get a shovel
Did you use that vid on YouTube as a guide lol this looks familiar. I love the design
Best pirate names awards goes to
Wait did you draw that?! Those planning skills 😭 I'm jealous
Yup 😂 on my tablet, with the sketchbook app.
Cool planning ! Now to the (un?)fun part 😛
Anybody got tips for unlocking walls and defenses. I have stone walls and roofs but want some gates and such. Any help is appreciated
My house so far,just started it and can’t wait until I unlock more materials
while everyone going for starter base Im still going for starter village
I love this ship
is that the frigate?
word
BUUM!! HeadShoots
id happily have a pint of grog at that tavern
fresh
how do yall build in the water? i tried and it keeps showing as stuff is unstable. any tips?
still a work in progress with just a wharf, warehouse, and lighthouse made but what do you guys think?
i like it has lots of space to grow, but also lol i couldnt build anything half as good as what you have now xD
back side of the tower has a way up
i chose this spot because its a nice little u shaped island with enough space to have a port inside the u and plenty of space to grow
I found this crazy island
nice, close to the same as mine but even better with that little island to build a fort on or something
fck yeah!
love the vibe even more now 🙂 we just need proper storms now 😄
damn you can feel the valheim grind to death influence
it is
What a great idea. I did my project to. Using your planning techniques
I finished it xD
How do you get that view from your ship
my fov while sailing is bad frigate takes the whole screen and i cant find a fix
thats adorable
Press f button
wait is there a photo mode howd you get this?
ty ill try it
Probably reshade
No photo mode
What programme you use for planning?
Gemini and nano banana 🍌 😅
Thx)
Whats your Shipname?
Carrying on the traditional name from my old Ark ships 😁
i have my new goal in life
i saw this island
and i dont like it
sadly i have to go to work but tomorrow the work will continue
am i just missing it but are there no triangle foundations anywhere in any building sets???
The first true creative post thanks
Flat like my ex
did some buildng for a few hours...
Where do you buy plank floors?
Man working is such a pain. I'm already bored and if only been 30 min at work. Day will be super long until tonight xD
All you can find in tortuga. Bring gold coins and buy from the merchants
My house on the starter island
Nice and compact 💪
Yeah ive looked at those, but thats the log floors
nwm i found it, couldnt find the last trader


and now we gather the materials...
