[upper narwhal]

still work in progress - but shape should at least stay that way .. maybe lifting the front-towers a bit higher

[drifting axle]

I think I need to pay someone to build my castle. lol I can't seem to even get it started. HAHA

[drifting axle]

I like the stone walkway!

[open tulip]

now to get more materials to build cause i dont know the dup ability

[thorn karma]

Start of my Outpost

[patent spade]

Does anyone have a good way of blending circular roofs?

I cant figure it out

[leaden ferry]

like this?

[patent spade]

I wanna use the spanish one

Uh

Orange

Clay

[leaden ferry]

they dont have round for thatr one, best you can do is set angle change to 15 and blend

[patent spade]

😭

[silent elbow]

Castle on the rock, wish we had steeper and more rooves

[muted hare]

with clay walls and beams you can create pretty walls, i love it

[misty falcon]

all maps are procedure generated so his island is unique to his map.

[south swan]

This isn't true lol. There are the same island shapes and amount of islands. This is why everyone also shares the really popular island. Which is the circular island with a smaller island inside of it. Islands are randomly placed. But the terrain shapes are the same.

[sterile cloak]

idk if this counts or not but created a sword based off windrose that holds rum so i can sail the seas singing shantys with sword in hand irl

[stiff wolf]

anyone make a cool setup for their smelters and kilns? Mine are just thrown all over the place and look sad 🙁

[light raptor]

honestly i've been meaning to at least make a smithy's for the smelters

[stiff wolf]

ya ive been trying to figure it out

[light raptor]

kilns... i think are best left outside something like a big ol crafthouse a lot like a sawhorse

[sterile python]

lurks and takes notes

[ruby tree]

Cant believe I didnt notice the cat until just now

[light raptor]

cause it's not like you can put em in a shed like you can irl

[stiff wolf]

I was furiously checking reddit and even went to google image search. seems nobodys cracked it

[vocal mortar]

NGL im new to this game i wann know how i get into a server with real players

[wispy tartan]

Damn, which island is this?

[quartz totem]

remind me tomorrow - i am quite proud off my current idea but it is on a friends world so no access to it now

[stiff wolf]

please - I'm still on starter island living in the jungle but im plotting out my actual base and need to figure that out

unless I just assume my island industrialized and build a 19th century factory on the beach

[quartz totem]

which would be interesting as well

[stiff wolf]

im going for something a tad more napoleonic

star fort

[fallen minnow]

I made a little garden 🌸

[sacred jay]

such a pretty game

[misty falcon]

well the devs say the maps are procedural so... I am gonna be leive them.

[south swan]

You do you bro lmfao. Just curious on how there's exactly the same island type on multiple peoples games. Including my own, the placement is procedural. The amount and shape are the same.

But whateva, keep your secrets.

[leaden veldt]

There might be some similarities between maps here and there but if you look at the Islands layouts, coastal designs, and general space available there aren't any 2 islands that are going to be 100% exact.

[slim flume]

The islands are all the same, the placement of them within the map is different for everyone.

[leaden ferry]

super easy to find out.. just post your map....

[buoyant shale]

Each player world is randomly generated.

[woven rivet]

It's a bit of both really.

So the underlying island is the same, but what appears different is the part of it that can be terraformed layered on top.

If you compare maps of the islands people share, they aren't exact 1:1

[fallen minnow]

This will eat alot of time to finish. I am excited

[woven rivet]

"exited"?
Where'd you exit to?

|| 😛 ||

[light raptor]

felt that

[fallen minnow]

haha

[light raptor]

i started a lighthouse project on a small server with my homies and quickly realized how in over my head i am bc of the fact that i wanted to make Two Of Them. in a channel that the computer still tries to aggro you through

[fallen minnow]

If you wanna build it big, you might need a mod tho

[light raptor]

nah. just patience.

there’s infinite stone if you’re willing to wait for nodes to refresh

[fallen minnow]

I used one to get rid of the requirements of buildings. Otherwise at 7500 hight, I wasnt able to build anything anymore, since my structures had no support

[light raptor]

oh that’s what you mean

nah i was goin for a couple of short, stout lil guys

[fallen minnow]

even tho I gave them support with pier from the ground. So I had to get a mod. Now the hight is somewhere above 15k iirc

[woven rivet]

It's more about the placement, as you can get the "structure is unstable" at seemingly weird times. But that has to do with the world geometry and heights.

[leaden ferry]

Super disappointing.. cant place extra weapons in the weapon rack...

[light raptor]

willing to bet that’s a future thing

[leaden ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/andrew-scott-late-late-show-fingers-crossed-hope-hoping-gif-12312595212412134097

[graceful radish]

Figured I would share this here

[woven rivet]

btw, some really useful mods for building stuff:

• Better Structure Support
  • https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/120
• Better Water Building
  • https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/118
• Better Crop Overlap
• https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/180

[leaden ferry]

I wanted to make a weapons shop and use that to display extra stuff

[leaden ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/naw-mike-epps-nah-hell-hellnaw-gif-14587994

[woven rivet]

You do you, but some of the limits are just weird.

[fallen minnow]

I use the first two, will do the last one too. Mods are so cool haha

[woven rivet]

The last one is really nice if you want to make a more natural looking area using seeds.

As you can just plant seeds on the dirt.

[fallen minnow]

Thanks to the stracture support mod, I can now enjoy this view

[leaden ferry]

Just dont be like the last person i saw, and quit the whole game cuz the mod they wanted to work, didnt lol

[woven rivet]

That'd be dumb, lol

[light raptor]

i had thought we were talking like. infinite item supply mods at first lol

[fallen minnow]

If they just would get rid of the hight limit in base game, I would be fine not using mods. But hight limits are stupid

[woven rivet]

Though I have disabled all my mods to see what would happen, and things stay intact.

Though would have been funny (in a "burn the world down" kind of way) if everything suddenly collapsed upon loading.

[leaden ferry]

btw the mod that didnt work was "removal of fog in swamp lands"

and they quit whole game

[woven rivet]

oh wow, lol

[light raptor]

more realistically it probably collapses when you try to attach smth new to the affected structures bc it forces the game to perform those checks again

[woven rivet]

Nah, it actually continues to be fine.

[light raptor]

huh!

that’s neat tbh

[woven rivet]

I do want to see if I can find the value on the degree of fog thickness, it does seem a bit much in the world itself, but removing it completely just looks wrong.

Just a subtle reduction would be good imo

[upper narwhal]

would have to redo all pipes .. i guess the will be woodden ones and maybe at one point i will take some hours to get it right

[knotty folio]

its taking shape ...

[leaden ferry]

i only use mods on games like Fallout 4 or Hogwarts AFTER i beat the game normal or Skyrim VR to add what the devs should have had at launch... I cant imagine using them on an rpg like this while it is still in development. BUT you do you and what ever makes you happy. Im one that doesnt call a game bad just cuz i dont like it, its "just not my cup of tea" and thats how i look at mods🫡

[tribal belfry]

there is a button on main page of the game that takes you to a survey, mention it there!

[leaden ferry]

i may just do that.. there has been a few others i thought of suggesting as well.

[tribal belfry]

i make a suggestion like twice a week hehe

[leaden ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-old-milwaukee-beer-drink-party-gif-13525986444242516233

[fallen minnow]

yeah understandable. i beat the game on hard mode, and once i was done with that, i wanted to just build and have fun, so I go with mods to help me with some qols

[leaden ferry]

Hogwarts Legacy Mods are GOAT lol hahahaha

[fallen minnow]

yeah i can imagine. havent finished it tho, since my file corrupted one day and crashed when i log in. It was pretty far in the game and i didnt want to start all over q.q so i never experienced their mods

[crude rock]

last fight was so underwhelming

[leaden ferry]

I may have got addicted for a bit to hogwarts lol

[leaden ferry]

See.. now i wanna build the Tower of Barad-Dur aka Sauron's tower from lord of the rings lol

https://tenor.com/view/lor-lord-of-the-rings-sauron-lord-sauron-the-great-eye-gif-17124185

[opaque nymph]

the tower in center of town will get moved somewhere else but yes its amazing what you can build in this game

[fallen minnow]

has anyone tried to build big sculptures already?

[leaden ferry]

what about megazords?

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-megazord-mmpr-mighty-morphin-power-rangers-fighting-stance-gif-26458838

at the Weasley's burrow?

[leaden ferry]

i love this WAY too much

where do i sign up

[open tulip]

this was definatly not built to code and could be a fire hazard

[ripe lava]

What's everyone doing to hide or decorate the bonfire?

[opaque nymph]

I made a small tower

[red dove]

I built a little house to go beside my farm, it's high up because it has a basement

[gaunt blade]

At first I elevated mine, but the npcs kept spawning up with it, which got really annoying. Now it's just center stage in my base.

[opaque nymph]

two ideas for bonfires

[silent heron]

vip HANGING BRIDGE :

[leaden ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-no-dont-like-that-nope-gross-gif-1917778115432593297

[gaunt blade]

I replaced the original bonfire with the signal fire.

[silent heron]

placeholder untill we get modular suspension rope bridges

[opaque nymph]

made some flower potters and some spice to the windows so the walls aren't flat and more pop

[leaden ferry]

Can only have 3 signal fires and this is my first one. can be seen over 10mins out at 20 knots

[opaque nymph]

our towns current bonfire

[ripe lava]

The signal fire works the same as the bonfire?

[ripe lava]

That looks really good

[gaunt blade]

No, totally different functions.

[leaden ferry]

NO

i tried lol

[opaque nymph]

i mean signal lmao my bad got mixed up

[gaunt blade]

I wasn't gonna tear down my little elevated tower area with the travel bell under it, though.

So put the signal fire there

[ripe lava]

haha, I am messing around right now with digging and putting in a basement might put it down there somewhere.

[opaque nymph]

i made a lazy river lmao

[ripe lava]

?

Interesting

[gaunt blade]

Better shot of the clifftop, with the travel bell + fires.

[lime tiger]

I need a chaise lounge chair for my poolside!

... and of course there's a diving-platform!

[silent heron]

hanging bridge with a path down to pier:

[upper narwhal]

those are missing at the pool and 2-3 palms 🙂

[small rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQbZX2PK_pE

[lime tiger]

Nice chair! I'll have to try that.

[gaunt blade]

Nice. I'm hoping for more peices, or just a mod that allows x & y rotations, before doing a hanging bridge.

For now, just went with a crosshatched pier looking bridge to get to farmland.

[silent heron]

Im really hoping for actual modual hanging rope bridges

My signal fire looks like it is going to ask me for a magical ring:

[gaunt blade]

"Build me an army worthy of Mordor"

[minor dome]

You have a plague pistol I could learn bud

[autumn pilot]

those rounded walls for the light house were a bishh, foundation laid for the home back to work

[fallow helm]

yall like my pool ?

[upper narwhal]

skull more and more turning into C-3PO 😉 guess i call that the goal and let it stay that way for now

and worked a bit on the cave behind c-3po

i do! i'll post some for you :3

[earnest charm]

Much appreciated! 🙂

[strange python]

You guys are all amazing! I just started yesterday and I'm working on my first pirate Inn. It will definitely have a bar but I'm not there yet!

but this is my base so far i just got super attached to my starter base but im currently building in the swamp too!

[earnest charm]

OMG ITS SO CUTE! You did such a great job! I can't imagine the hours you put into the build so far! It's so pretty and well decorated!

I'd love to get a tour sometime!

[nova nova]

thank youuuu - i have 145 hours in game >.< but i work from home so its always on my second screen - dont tell my boss 😛 and yes ofc anytime you can do a tour!

[strange python]

WOW!!!

[nova nova]

i tried to hide behind the plant bc i hate how they stand there in every picture lol

oh and i forgot this little fishing pier/"where the merchants bring their goods" area

[earnest charm]

Ofc!! I only have 81 hours but i Just 100% the game and have yet to start a good home build so now I can finally start one! LOL I definitely wont say a word (: and could I take you up on that offer now?

You can toss two walls behind you in a V shape, then scoot up against them to make your character dissapear.

Aww that's cute!

I love that idea.

Ow my, this is soo good😦 feel really natural and cozy, amazing job, and yes, bases are forever a WIP until you dont use it anymore.

[nova nova]

thank you so much!

[zealous stag]

The palm tree from 10 to 13 seconds is just... strange. Snaps into position like a rubber band.

[upper narwhal]

had to reload an old save .... that was my failed attempt at tv + speakers

with a bigger window with glas in front i would have kept trying

[still rampart]

That's pretty! Good job

[upper narwhal]

a tiny lightsource between glas and painting would be cool for a tv - but we only have little glaswindows 🙁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB76TwsZ9uc

Huh

[junior plover]

not sure if your asking what i meant so yea if you press the question mark key it hides it. screenshots never looked so good. i love this game even more now haha

[zealous stag]

Well, the / key on US keyboards. French and some other ones that aren't qwerty it doesn't work.

And if you hide the UI and then open the inventory/character menu, you enter the Shadow Realm.

[quaint sedge]

Hands down my favorite farm design I've seen so far!

[nova nova]

omg the gardennnnn is soooooo good! really good work

Building by a cliff isn't easy, I found out last night.

[zealous stag]

There... have been a few times where I had to press k and summon my boat to me on the cliff sides...

[humble iris]

I am more concerned about setting good foundations.

[quaint sedge]

The sheer magnitude of this build is incredible! I can't imagine what being creative enough to visualize the entire layout of this build is like

[uncut gale]

This is insanely good! The size and detail is really epic! How many bonfires did it need to make it work?

[quaint sedge]

Amazing! This is probably the most detailed merchant stall I've seen yet!

[jaunty epoch]

I love how, when you give a game to some people, they come up with such creative ideas, like that organ, the bike, and more 😵 you guys are crazzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy

[jaunty epoch]

Yep, focus on those if you really want to aim high… I didn’t and later I had to go back and reinforce everything (basically undoing a lot of what I’d already done) 💀

[tender zenith]

Thank you i am crazy 😎🤣

im gonna let my pirate friends find out on their own and watch them panic now

[past knot]

Cluttering up of my Dock is coming along nicely.

[lapis lark]

Some work in progress photos of a build I am doing. Trying out new styles and got more pieces too lol

[gusty rover]

Give me a crystal ball, or an ocarina(or conductors baton;>) so I can change the time of day and weather 👀

[whole narwhal]

I am excited for the new building pieces

[dense crypt]

I wouldnt have high expectations for the next big update with new build pieces. it sounds like pieces that should go along with what we have to make things more seamless. but again im basing that off the 1 line we got in the dev notes. still more build pieces that help is nice.

[whole narwhal]

Thats why im excited. We're getting pieces to help expand our current kit. Variety is nice but more pieces in each set means more finer details and designs

The only new pieces id really want are higher peaked roofs and wooden shingled roofs

[dense crypt]

just making sure. some people might assume it means different parts from what we have as in new designs but id assume pieces from the pre-made buildings in tortuga and other places that fit the current sets maybe 15 to 20 per faction set idkm im guess here haha.

[whole narwhal]

40 new pieces so probably 10 per set. Im guessing actual triangle flooring. Filling out roofing (base is 26 degrees but not 45 which is weird) probably more floor pieces and maybe a couple stone ones 🤔

[dense crypt]

I say 15 to 20 because we have 3 main factions with build pieces the 4th is ships so. but roofs make sense and maybe pieces for corners i want to say. granted tou can use beams for corners but

[whole narwhal]

If you check the steam post it says 40. Unless they changed it. Safest bet is a cobblestone floor btw. People have been BEGGING for one...

[dense crypt]

no I didnt say 15 to 20 total I said per faction. I know I read it because im the one that posted it in here right away

[hard oak]

This would solve itself if floors and walls didn’t had restrictions of what they are.. let me turn axis Y 🤷‍♀️

[whole narwhal]

Blame how unreal handles texture mapping...

[hard oak]

I work with SAP 🤷‍♀️

[whole narwhal]

If they were to add a new set. I want shipwrecked theme. Broken hulls, capstans and torn sails. God I'd be in heaven

[whole narwhal]

The game uses some form of stretch mapping It seems. Likely for texture optimization. They'd have to lock textures to allow rotation which would break said mapping.

[hard oak]

Mapping is to allow hanging objects to hang on walls and so that floor decor can stand on floors is that what you are saying?

[hard oak]

Texture optimization and mapping, i don’t follow.

[whole narwhal]

No. Stretch mapping is when you get the total length of a surface and "stretch" a texture to fit over it. Its an optimization thing. Instead of one texture plastered to each building piece on a wall, it maps one bigger version onto the entire wall. Its why textures arent mirrored btw. The textures can only map in 2 directions.

[hard oak]

So to have same texture on floor / walls u have two configure objects with same texture and own mapping

Other than that, we would be building with blocks

[whole narwhal]

Think of it like this. You put a board down and paint it. You put another board down next to it and paint it exactly the same.
Or
you put both boards down and paint them both at once.

Which sounds quicker and easier?

The reason you cant rotate them is because its a 2d texture. It can only be stretched on either the x or y axis

[hard oak]

Got it

It is sure more interesting than SAP

[whole narwhal]

Stretch mapping is a pretty old technique but hasn't really found use until recently. The cool part is its baked directly into unreal 5s engine along with a bunch of other cool optimization features (but you wouldn't know it with how rarely they're used...)

[hard oak]

Does that applies to props too?

[wicked oriole]

I couldn't stop lol, made a whole village

[whole narwhal]

Sometimes? Thats very game and dev based. Stretch mapping is great for walls, floors, ceilings, ect. Anything where only 2 dimensions are required. But most objects are 3d. Theres a thing called fuzzy mapping which is more likely to be used. But again its very dependent on what someone wants to do

[whole narwhal]

Will be great when we get more npcs!

[wicked oriole]

Absolutely!!!

Im really loving building in this game !

This is awesome

Love this

[tribal barn]

Wow

That is beautiful

[simple lagoon]

makes me need to find a suitable place to build one for myself - my main base is more "beach survivor" and a massive lighthouse unfortunately doesnt match the vibe

personally I just use crates and barrels as decor, and then run around like a madman throwing my stuff into the most appropriate containers (i.e. this crate is next to the Forge, it is where I'll store my ingots and coal)

[worn nest]

a cold fog comes rolling in and ships don't come out...

speaking of that, I've heard multiple references about the easter egg of Sea Turtles, it's either Jack Sparrow, or Finding Nemo.

[latent lintel]

Finding Nemo in a pirate game?

[heady rose]

yeah that did put a smile on my face the first time i heard it

[sonic vapor]

one of the NPC's in a town, (Tortuga?) basically mocks you saying "Did you get here on sea turtles?" or something like that

[latent lintel]

Cool

[rotund ferry]

still on work 4 hours on work :>

[muted hare]

im loving this view in my little town

[latent lintel]

I want live there too looks awesome

And reminds me of modded riften

[muted hare]

im literally just looking up buildings online and recreate them while i look at the picture lol

[latent lintel]

Btw if want play I can later dw so we can literally live there lol

[muted hare]

i have a lot of bugs when i do multiplayer

[waxen snow]

Are there any floor rugs in game? Or did I miss them?

[past knot]

WIP Gatehouse I'm building on a buddy's world after he saw pictures of my wall/round tower.

[latent lintel]

It's ok

[muted hare]

ooh i saw the video on how to build that wall but i didnt know how to use it in my build

[past knot]

I can be tricky for sure

Big 'ol thing in a straight line

[latent lintel]

How i get those walls, windows etc?

[rotund ferry]

If you not finished your quest you have to download mods for recipes

[latent lintel]

Ah ty so just need finish the story?

[rotund ferry]

@latent lintel not just story side and Question marks some of them buy with reputations

I feel like the top of my lighthouse still looks a little odd, but it's the best I could do.

[wraith ember]

lil Pirate Resort (not done yet) 😄

[candid grail]

is there anymore to the limestone set, like angled walls to help fill in gaps under the roof?

having a hard time finding something that matches when applying a roof to the limestone walls

same for flooring, id love a limestone flooring. but maybe i havent stumbled upon it yet?

[zealous stag]

Announcement tab says the next patch is giving us 50 more pieces of building material, so... yeah.
Hopefully some of the missing pieces will show up.

[misty wedge]

*over 40

[simple lagoon]

I expect/hope it will be the "missing" roof pieces, and some quarter wall pieces so we can center align some of the double doors better

anything else will just be gravy

[woven rivet]

Stair pieces too, there's a lot of flooring that doesn't have a matching stair/ramp

[lunar merlin]

any idea how to make a decent looking roof here

[storm vault]

my small Pirate Adventure Outpost 😄

[tranquil flax]

We don't really have anything that looks great for flat roofs unfortunately, not yet anyway. The only thing I could think of is the 13 Degree tiles for now

[pallid scaffold]

Any ideas what I could add?

[ornate badge]

More walls to incase the settlement / walking paths or pave the whole thing

[somber oar]

Sooo many talented builders

[proven wren]

[tough lynx]

WIP

[proven wren]

do the masts have collision?

[tough lynx]

No, they do not so it's OK to sail in even when the bridge is on the way.

[proven wren]

I see, I see

[tough lynx]

Buuut if the ship is there it won't let me build the bridge but it's ok to sail through it.

[abstract badger]

you know that frigates has bigger draft than a brigs? And its longer, so its possible that your next grade of ships will not fit in

if you need reference ship i can join for a second and summon mine

[tough lynx]

I have the Frigate already but I don't like using it because it's slower.

SPEEEEDD!!! 😄

[drifting axle]

I am so jealous. I am trying to build something that looks kinda like that on my clifftop. lol. I can't seem to get anything going tho. 🙁

[tough lynx]

That looks so cool!!!

[tough lynx]

Ultra wide, NICE!!

[valid lichen]

@leaden ferry i was running this for a while too bbut ended up switching baack to the bleed rapier lol

[warm root]

first of all not really build discussion here, but later when you get devastating rapier it gives 8 stacks of plague and when u do hard attack it deals bonus dmg for all the stacks and heals you for 40% of that damage dealt

[ebon nymph]

true test to see if there's actually fall damage

[tough lynx]

There isn't.

[leaden ferry]

waaaa!?! the wife runs rapier build, she will love that!

[leaden ferry]

i like having knock back when attacking. the rapier doesnt have any. BUT its perfect for the wife lol. she loves the bleed over time

[abstract badger]

for decoration: sled with logs and log pile

[opal fulcrum]

everything is for sale somewhere. he's the best 😄

[finite falcon]

i need some advice. extended roof or no. (for some reason i'm just not feeling the building i made and am trying to improve it somehow, so any advice is appreciated)

also note: i'd be getting rid of the extended roof on the other side of the roof if i go without)

[opal fulcrum]

slap a corner roof on it an leave the rounded part without?

[bronze ore]

Extended IMO

Also, I really like using pillars at the seams and corners of the walls, it helps give the walls more texture.

I would also recommend taking screenshots during the day so it's easier to see

[finite falcon]

thanks. still not even closed to finished but i was just not feeling that roof at all. i tried a couple of corder pieces and something about it made it feel tacky. (i'm talking specifically about the tip of the cone shape

[pine mortar]

I think the only solution here is to use 13° roofs (for now). Maybe not until the full cover, maybe leaving some flat part in the middle with wood tales at the top to avoid having a roof looking too high ?

[warm root]

ye i also prioritized them and i had the thousand cuts but later i was asking my own decision till i found the devastation one and whe n i stuck up to 8 plague effects and do the double stab hard attack it deals up to 2.6k dmg maybe even more and heals you but it uses the stacks so u have to stack em up again

[stray kiln]

waiter! waiter! more 1800s half timbered house p0rn please!

Getting a start on a new mountain castle base

[tiny knot]

there is a similar ship there, yes

[chrome cypress]

anyone got 45 deg straw and reed roofs yet?

[abstract badger]

devs promised 40 new building pieces in incoming patch.

[chrome cypress]

they wanna think about DLCs to release new ships and new buid pieces

££££

[hard oak]

lmao, game not even released..

[abstract badger]

its not ub____t

[hard oak]

shall not be named

xd

[chrome cypress]

would just like the game to be supported and contiue with new content... like space engineers, ive bought all their very cheap DLCs, all are just cosmetic

[abstract badger]

https://tenor.com/view/ew-brotha-eww-meme-eww-eww-gif-gif-1452572770363109714

for the fans of that studio xDDD

[hard oak]

does that exist?

[abstract badger]

understandable, but some things are essential in release version and some as distant future what will not influence game process.

[stiff night]

except we getting build pieces in the upcoming "fix/qol update" 40 pieces at that 😄
so while they could have put that as a DLC, they dident.
Says alot about the studio imo instead of being greedy for $ they are looking at improving the game instead for free. (as Early acess should be)

Also regarding ships, if you look at current version of game, you can expect a ship with each new biome it feels like.
Ketch (Coastal Jungle)
Brig (Foothills)
Frigate (Swamp)
??? ( Ashlands)

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3041230/view/537759153440949342?l=english
Next update: a pack of fixes incoming
Right now we are internally testing the next game update focused on various important fixes and improvements. We will probably ask some of you to try it in advance as well before we roll it out for everyone. For now it is not 100% clear if we will manage to do it this week – but we will do our best! Here are some of the things that we’re planning to address with it:

Connectivity issues;
CPU usage on idle clients and servers;
Disk usage during gameplay (to reduce the load on SSD specifically);
Performance and stability improvements;
Over 40 new building pieces to fill some gaps and inconsistencies;
Over 50 fixes and QoL changes;

[hard oak]

why ppl blabling about dlc, game not even release wth

game not finished

[chrome cypress]

was just talking... babbling ?? ok whatever

why do npcs not walk some of the paths ive made?

[hard oak]

why even mention DLCs

[chrome cypress]

they dont seem to go up single stairs in buildings

why not?

u always so negative fella?

go play the game instead of sitting in here trying to make me as gloomy as urself

[tired crag]

This is beautiful

[tired crag]

The next ship is reportedly is a Galleon

[tired crag]

Tranquil as fuuuuuk

[heady rose]

i bet it'd be smaller than a frigate but bigger than a brig

at least if i'm remembering my boats right

[tired crag]

A Galleon is larger than a Frigate, if you have ever played ac black flag, the Man-O-War ships are Galleons

[heady rose]

the man o war's are first rate ships of the line technically

THIS is a galleon

[tired crag]

Yes

[hardy sparrow]

like a true workout place for lazy pirates...aweseome, love it ^^

[tired crag]

I was just saying the man o war is literally what they call the Galleons in black flag

[ripe lava]

The Frigate is a tier 4-5 something like that. The victory is a first rate ship which is massive. 3 gun decks on the victory

[tired crag]

So a lot of people don’t actually know that they are in fact Galleons

[tired crag]

Either way, we won’t know what ship they give us until they release it

[heady rose]

this is a first rate ship of the line, or a "Man O' War", this one is spanish (note the flag)

[spice beacon]

This is gonna be a hot take. Giving us 3rd rates are a bit much imo.

[heady rose]

yeah lol

[ripe lava]

If we get a first rate ship later on down the road. It's going to be awesome

[wintry badger]

Our current largest is 5th rate?

[ripe lava]

yes

[heady rose]

bigger number mean smaller boat

[tired crag]

I agree

[spice beacon]

And probably pretty laggy when 4 players roam around with ships carrying 100 guns lol

[ripe lava]

haha maybe

[heady rose]

if we get somthun that big those pesky dodo's won't know what hit em

[ripe lava]

Found that old image

[spice beacon]

I’m more than happy with the frigate being one of the man o war class ships. Anything higher would probably risk power creep between enemy ships and ours.

[tired crag]

We bout to make the dodo reextinct

[spice beacon]

Wtf lmao 😂

[heady rose]

https://klipy.com/gifs/good-business-1--k01KQDEJWZXV42FDSJHKGF8XEH3

[ripe lava]

Found that on google just now haha

[tired crag]

Its….beautiful

[heady rose]

becket getting shwacked ahh ship

[spice beacon]

Imagine a Blackbeard gunboat seeing that ship thinking “Nah, I’d board.”

[tired crag]

They could try

[heady rose]

me and the homies seeing this ship in the ketch (we are going to die)

[wintry badger]

We are going to need a bigger crew...

[tired crag]

I just want a single player game that we can sail one

[heady rose]

you can fir like, 5 mintues in black flag

[tired crag]

Dosnt count

[heady rose]

https://klipy.com/gifs/barney-rubble-the-flintstones-1--k01KQDER7ZJPDYXETC7RCMKNR6F

[wintry badger]

Build a bar over it? Would be an easy way to clean up...

[ripe lava]

little cabins, or line it with pillars and put planters around it?

[abstract badger]

😂 your boat is ready, cptn🫡

[spice beacon]

“It’s a shilling to tie your boat at the dock.”

[heady rose]

jack sparrow without the pearl ahh boat

[plain radish]

anyone agree that being able to make bases in the ocean would be cool?

[tired crag]

Yes

[heady rose]

cool, yes, possible with hear ye hear ye tech? unlikley

[tired crag]

And terrifying

[heady rose]

but there's also walking zombie people and spooky critters so who knows lol

[abstract badger]

sea turtles, aye aye captain

casebo?

[ripe lava]

I want underwater exploration of some sort

[tired crag]

Would b cool

[plain radish]

hear me out 🙌 precursor tech🙌 maybe even some artifacts that keep the tectonic plates together along with two factions going to war and one of them could be a sneaky bunch while the others are involved with the governments

[heady rose]

i think it'd be funny for sharks to appear,

[subtle geyser]

Building a small Coastel defense, place holder for the base defense mode hope we get canons for the base 😂

[ripe lava]

Sharks would be wild

[heady rose]

https://klipy.com/gifs/johnny-depp-movie-12--k01KQDF1T1RM5TK43B9811VYA28

[plain radish]

are those 45 degree brick roofs??

[heady rose]

but without means to defend ourselves i think it'd be real frustrating

[subtle geyser]

Huh ? 😮

[plain radish]

a gif of a man who is envious of my original idea

[tired crag]

Do them cannons work

[ripe lava]

I think that's plaster

[heady rose]

yeah and we should have hidden blades of some kind

[subtle geyser]

No roofs those are the stone walls

[heady rose]

everyone else's base looks really pretty

[plain radish]

right dont be so unrealistic

[plain radish]

smart

[ripe lava]

What's youre base looking like Cap?

[subtle geyser]

Those are the Small ones i got a big one too 😂

[tired crag]

I always pronounced it Gazebo

[heady rose]

absolute dogwater, it's the plant fiber huts with my storage and workshops shoved into them

[tired crag]

But your spelling and way of saying it make much more sense

[subtle geyser]

maybe i will build a Fort

[tired crag]

Brotha build yo bridge

[wintry badger]

Speaking of towers, how are people doing there stairways?

[tired crag]

Stairs? I just float, like a true pirate

[subtle geyser]

😂

[dense crypt]

dance up the walls like Lionel richie

[subtle geyser]

That WAS the plan but than i realised that i need to sail around it... 😂

[tired crag]

It’s 89* pretty walkable

[heady rose]

Big Pirate wants you to use stair

[wintry badger]

My grapling hock, was lost in the sea, at the start of the game...

[ripe lava]

That's what my base looked like too at the start haha.

[tired crag]

Not ah! Big far-pirates can’t get no money outta me! I’m not buyin!

[wintry badger]

So climb with roofs 😛

[ripe lava]

that's pretty cool. What's the inside of that wagon look like?

[tired crag]

What’s this and how u get it

[hard oak]

I made it lol

[lament dome]

She made it

[tired crag]

How tf

[hard oak]

seats, with a chest on the back

[tired crag]

Ima need some blueprints brother

That’s impressive af

[drifting axle]

Very impressive.

[tired crag]

How tf

Are you a wizard

[hard oak]

10k hours on a building game do to you

[abstract badger]

You would def. get the master builder role if it would be builder contest going on!

[tired crag]

Nah, this is sorcery

[hard oak]

or I would loose for an ovni

[tired crag]

You should start a YT channel and do tutorials, if watch it for sure

[hard oak]

I started a building discord

[wintry badger]

I'm suprices the game lets you build that tight, given its not very clipping friendly

[tired crag]

Oh?

Same here like bro how

[hard oak]

Invite link on my profile

[tired crag]

Ahhhh I see, your an Elf, this makes much more sense

[hard oak]

50 plus ppl sharing knowledge and learning together

[tired crag]

Thanks!

oh my god!!! this is incredible

[abstract badger]

have you seen skull build? Other dude dropped today

[hard oak]

yes

[abstract badger]

was waiting for someone to do something like that, lol

I want stone props for that

lol

[tired crag]

Skull build?

#🎨│creative message

location is bad imho, it would be better to be at some mountain, like a cave enterance

[tired crag]

True but this is why I love base building games, you guys make the craziest shiiiiiiii

[wintry badger]

Hopefully, once patch hits tomorrow, we can do more

[tired crag]

How do we know it will hit tomorrow

it won't be much more itll be pieces for pieces that we already have but itll make it more seemless

Tyy

[wintry badger]

While I do love a castle, the distance between the boat, bell and storage, can be a pain

[brazen canyon]

So far already using 3 bonfires

And multiple storages

[wintry badger]

Seems you have more landscaping to do, given you still see green

[copper badger]

Fort Knox

Alcatraz maybe? Also, ahoy!

[cinder heart]

what should i do for this room?

[abstract badger]

library with fireplace, a sofa and a working space: big table, globe

[neat nova]

Oh, makes sense. Just looked it up. Cool.

[cinder heart]

what do you think my rome bath

[abstract badger]

not deep enough?

[cinder heart]

i want it walkable because lots of people drown in here if i go deep

[short lava]

its only valid if the bath is full of rum

[dusky dawn]

this is sick!

so far my little town no mods,

[quaint sorrel]

Why would this happen as DLC when the game is in early access and is still getting tons of content? Besides the soundtrack DLC tends to happen for games that are... Well, well, finished.

[spiral plume]

some pics of my base. a nice wharf, a proper camp, pathway to the house with a balcony. crafting stations and kitchen inside.

[plain radish]

petition for the devs to add photo mode all in favour say aye

[spiral plume]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-of-the-caribbean-aye-gif-25597467

[hard oak]

is not so hard to do them pictures tho

just stand near a beam

[plain radish]

think of how much better it would be to have a dedicated photo mode to get far shots of your base or anything else

[hard oak]

not saying no for it

but you can survive until they have capacity to implement

[plain radish]

not saying anything bad simply putting an idea out there

[hard oak]

more like the standard

than an idea

[pale whale]

https://klipy.com/gifs/cat-meme-salute--k01KQDJPMPNFJQ99A9RHZ341NC7

[abstract badger]

Think of how much better it would be to have a free fly build cam

[whole narwhal]

GUYS! I DID THE THING!

I HAVE CONSUMED AN ENTIRE ISLANDS WORTH OF TREES!

[abstract badger]

Congratulations, wasted a ton of time

[whole narwhal]

It's not a waste if I plan on using the wood AND the island...

[abstract badger]

Sea gives so much wood that i had 6 full boxes of it, even after turned A LOT in coal

And you can order it with coin

[whole narwhal]

Took only 2 days and I have 12 full crates of wood, 4 barrels of fiber, half a crate of hides and a bunch of food and alchemy reagents

I have better things to waste my coin on than wood

Oh but the palm seed meme is real

entire island... 2 palm seeds...

[vague thistle]

These palm seeds are a pain

[whole narwhal]

im not even joking...

[vague thistle]

I believe u haha

[abstract badger]

Why? Find the biggest palm and axe its stump. From 2-3 palms you will get a seed

From hills he didn't get a lot of palms for obvious reasons

[vague thistle]

Bro I was doing that for hours I got like 6 seeds

[vague thistle]

In the other regions more ?

[whole narwhal]

I left the stumps for scenic reasons. but on release palm seeds were actually bugged lol

I wasnt farming for seeds or id eat everything

[abstract badger]

In first biom you get more regular type trees, yes.

And its wrong chat for this

[whole narwhal]

This is a super small island that I'm going to turn into a plantation for all the crops

[pale whale]

i only got 1 palm tree seed

[whole narwhal]

we do need to be able to buy tree seeds. more for building than farming wood

[stray kiln]

Tried making a rendition of the dock at Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean

[stiff night]

i said it "could" have been a DLC, never said it was and i was responding to someone talking about Dlcs 😅
its the kind of update other companies would have put behind a "small dlc" imo, but we get that as ongoing EA updating (which is what ea typicaly should be)

[whole narwhal]

I'd say you did a bang up job Mr. Turner!

[stiff night]

140 hours in game, and i have 5 bloody palm seeds 😂 they are stupidly rare

[whole narwhal]

The foothill and swamp islands actually drop them more often I've found...

I have 20 at my base. half are from setting up a FOB for the swamps

[unique chasm]

dev team gotta let us able to dive into the water, I'm using my row boat to put pillars in the water and its a bit of an unnecessary task

[vague thistle]

This channel gives so much ideas for a new larger base that’s insane

I’m stuck at farming for like 2 weeks I guess

[whole narwhal]

Cant you run infinite docks out???

[stiff night]

sadly no, there is a point where it becomes "unstable" 😄 belive me i tried

[unique chasm]

being able to dive in the water would be op for building

[abstract badger]

Not really. But you can try stacking them on top of eachother

[whole narwhal]

Ay! thats a great looking tudor!

[stiff night]

one test i did for example at some point 😄
further out then that and it just went "unstable"

[tribal belfry]

you can also put pillars down to extend the distance, if you cant reach

[stiff night]

but you can do some fun things with the piers (even if not used for a pier) 🤣
and yeah stacking them works to

[vague thistle]

That’s far enough for my Atlantis idea xD

[stiff night]

if you lower them a bit more into water, you could probally get out even further

like under waterline, barely walkable

or have a walkable one on side, to make a 2nd one down further by using the "Z+mousewheel" shifting
but cant say iv tried that yet

[tribal belfry]

where in the EFF is the clay shingle extra pieces

[cinder heart]

library is done

[cinder heart]

what do you think?

[abstract badger]

If i would have such room, i would have separated it with bookshelves in 3-4 zones or even added one more room because it's too big space.
1 zone or separate room: working "cabinet" area. Big working table, a clock, chair for the owner, mb one extra for the guest, globe.
2 zone: fireplace area with couple of sofas and mb 1 chair
3 zone or separate room: bedroom?
4 zone: big table or multiple big tables with chairs

Tips: mb to position some bookshelfs right next to the stairs? So no space wasted.
I would have placed second small table/stand in cabinet with ship model on top
Place carpet somewhere

Now, after you have placed furniture, i understand how big it is

[cinder heart]

its actually 3rd floor of my villa, i can divide room but cant add more space, its actually well squared room

[abstract badger]

So you have full symmetry? Like all proportions the same and windows at all sides?

[cinder heart]

yes i have full symmetry

[drifting charm]

Domine Deus

[distant olive]

Updated cuz too much corn

[abstract badger]

Without removing windows this is the zones that i would have placed

[cinder heart]

i will edit 2morrow

Just tried something with start materials. It`s a lot of grass there

no dice; it's a fixed object XD; I did try after you said that though haha

[lusty arrow]

Looks great! The starter materials give it a good simple, but elegant look 😄

[hard oak]

hummm

[hard oak]

there is always a way

or.. get yourself a functional hearth -- no cooking fire seen

[lusty arrow]

.... now I must figure out what you did lol

They are calling me a wizard around here, cuz I do sorcery aparently

I teach if u join my building discord

hahaha

i havent even started on the island i plan on trying to build marine headqurters from one piece on

[pale whale]

mostly wood stone and clay and fiber which can be bought from merchants

[paper ginkgo]

i set mine near copper iron and ancient scrap mines

[pale whale]

let me guess moon island?

[paper ginkgo]

yes

[pale whale]

haha i still havent build there

only set a bell there for later return

once i figure out how to continue on this fort

[paper ginkgo]

i really should lay out the framework but my chinese fort demands my attention

[pale whale]

this is what it looks from the front

[paper ginkgo]

every time i look at this chat i see way better creations than mine

this is the front from land

[pale whale]

ive seen so many cool build i wanted to ask them if they can share their world so i can copy it

[paper ginkgo]

same here

[brazen canyon]

Because showing off something awesome that u built alone hits different

I have the same problem

[drowsy oak]

YOOOO that has a big Chinese palace vibe. I fw it heavy

[pure kernel]

the balcony angle is insane! nice job!

[pale whale]

hate when this happens

[plain radish]

one part of my fort done

[pure kernel]

turn off autoclip and try to tweak it a bit further in?

[tender jay]

photomode mod is awesome

[dusk zealot]

dont got the nice windows yet but im quite happy with my first real build so far

[paper ginkgo]

thatd come in handy also

that is gorgeous

[tender jay]

the mod has almost-timestop, so i can take as many photos as i want without the day going forward

[paper ginkgo]

its not even close to finished

the back is completely exposed

[tender jay]

can't believe i didn't know about it for so long lol

[pure kernel]

should have been a in-game mechanic

[paper ginkgo]

hopefully they add their own photomode

[pure kernel]

who doesnt want to take cool pictures of battles at sea, forts, bases etc while playing?!

[tender jay]

i hope they increase draw distance for lights

i want to see all my buildings light up at night

but currently my town is too big for that lol

and that's not big at all

for now, daytime pictures for larger builds is almost a must because you can't see anything at night

[paper ginkgo]

my fishing village is just a warehouse tavern boathouse and a few huts/shops and i cant see it at night

[tender jay]

right?! i'm not going crazy

well, hopefully enough people have brought this up for them to maybe have a look at it

[paper ginkgo]

ive had lamps set up in a gatehouse if i get far enough way during the night theres no sign of light

[tender jay]

the only exceptions i can think of right now are the bonfires/signal fires

[paper ginkgo]

but those are too limited

[paper ginkgo]

i wooould love to be able to see some lights around the village not necessarily from miles away but at least further than 10 ft

[brazen canyon]

Id gladly once my build is further along

[tender jay]

i'll see if i can submit it as feedback, or at least find someone else's thread

[pale whale]

i just used log floor on it

[pale whale]

what you working on

[pure kernel]

bigbrain

[tender jay]

with the photomode mod, you can even do this lol

[red yarrow]

this is beautiful

[pale whale]

which stone would look better

[tender jay]

thanks

[red yarrow]

did you give it a name or no ?

[tender jay]

yeah i have a few names, still deciding on a final one

Libertalia is one of the names i really like

[pure kernel]

The outer harbour is just a placeholder build until i have resources to actually build it out with cannon positions and a proper lighthouse.
Absolutely took some inspiration from builds here. And @tender jay is the one i stole the whole pillar/hillside build idea from, but im trying to make my own twist on it

[tender jay]

i highly doubt i'm the one who came up with it

there must be someone who has done it before me

[pale whale]

mind you take a closer screnshot of the outer harbor where you close of the sea

[red yarrow]

still a good name ive been using a tiny shack lol i waan beat the last boss before i build a main base

[tender jay]

i still haven't beaten the last boss xd

[tender jay]

everything i did in this game was to unlock building stuff

[pure kernel]

Pier foundations with rock walls on the outsides till they reach below the waterline.
Nothing fancy

just had to make the outline so that i have something to work out from later on when i start on it

[red yarrow]

im lvl 12 now but the swamps i havent been in to deep since my gear is low lvl

[pure kernel]

''does this game have missions?''

ive been 90% building and maybe 10% doing tasks

[red yarrow]

lol ive been trying to find the perfect island to build on

[pure kernel]

I love the one im at.
Same at ketamemes

Its a big island, big natural cove, has trees, stone, foothills iron, treebark, hardwood, wolfs, goats and a mine.

this one

[tender jay]

yeah swamps is kinda dangerous at item level 10

[red yarrow]

i see the the undead and i run lol

[tender jay]

everything just hits so damn hard all the time there

thankfully my gear is maxed now so i'm not too worried when farming

[red yarrow]

without a doubt i only went there to get tar for my ship

[red yarrow]

not to bad i want something with a cove a rock face

or both

[tender jay]

i had to run through the ancient ruins for metal so many times, i think i hate ruins now

[pure kernel]

this has all of that, dependent on how you build it

[tender jay]

and you only get 1 quagmire powder from each enemy 🙁

so smithing the swamp metal is a pain

[red yarrow]

i havent made it there

[tender jay]

i hate these so much, yet they are so necessary

[red yarrow]

i need to go here to lvl up my sword

[tender jay]

the closest one to me is even in a corruption zone, so im on a timer when i farm there

not sure if they're all like that

haven't bothered going to any besides the closest one

[zealous stag]

That one shown has 154 metal scraps in it.
And takes me about four trips in and out to reset the timer. >.>

[red yarrow]

ive only been to the one swamp island

[nova oriole]

impressive, very nice job

[tender jay]

thanks

i hope there are ways to add more ambient NPCs in the future

i'd love to have some pirates standing around

like, not even doing anything

[pure kernel]

This is how the cove looks

[red yarrow]

a band playing music would be cool

[red yarrow]

love it i need more coins to buy my plans

[pure kernel]

have the crew of your ship at the base when in port would make it feel more alive

[tender jay]

YES please

[pure kernel]

and loading/unloading the ship would have them work with carrying boxes on/off the ship.
If not timed as a task, atleast for the gimmick of making it look good

[tender jay]

i think they're already doing a pretty good job with NPCs wandering around and using crafting stations, i'm sure adding some ambient NPCs is something easily doable

[red yarrow]

i hate when the doctor takes my bed

[pure kernel]

do they have those shipbeds? cant think of the name on top of my head...

google: hammock

[tender jay]

not as far as i'm aware, but that's also something i would like to have around the town

[pure kernel]

i would make a crew building or have it somewhere in the inn. even if never used, just as a nice add on

[red yarrow]

it was fun talkin with you guys im going to go plunder some booty from ships

[pure kernel]

I need spiral stairs blueprint

[pure kernel]

doing the same to level up my relationships and buying blueprints

[red yarrow]

same here my ship is almost full with alot of stuff to sell for coins

[silver crane]

Where do we make suggestions?

Is there floor doors? in build mode?

[pure kernel]

havent seen it anywhere yet, so im guessing no

[silver crane]

yer ok. defo would be a good one to add. treasure room!

[rigid sun]

The basement… I will be attempting

https://klipy.com/gifs/sad-crying-black-guy-1

You have no idea how hard it was to get the triangle pieces for the roof to fit

It’s nowhere near done either

The time I took will pay out though… eventually

[violet umbra]

ah yes, i love me a good soffit.

[spice crescent]

Foundation is done detailing ahead. WIP 🚧

[bitter haven]

Having a kind of crew selection system so you can hire and pick your own crew also upgrade them somehow. And like the other guy say if you in town. Or at your base you see them walking around etc. perhaps even need certain comfort lvl to actually be able to have them join you or something. Have a procedural map where you can just go island discovery loot and ship fights can choose difficulty to get better main loot or something have a checkpoint but can not build base there only gather stuff do challenge or quest and get out …

[solid cove]

building a massive fortress on this chain of islands that i found. havent had a ton of time to work on it so its slow going. my main base will be on top of the rocks. the black lines are where im gonna make sea walls. the blue is the docks, the red is where ill have some small forts with the decorative cannons on them, and the yellow is where im gonna build a village at.

[pure kernel]

game of thrones vibes

[balmy vector]

does anyone else think a cool customization option would be, being able to put that large flag "the Ensign" on the back of our ships? I've yet to see a pirate game make that a thing

[stuck crane]

How do i close this off?

There's no triangle piece

[tidal depot]

You'll get corner pieces

[stuck crane]

ohhhh do i have to buy it? or is it a discoverable?

[tidal depot]

I can't remember which pack it came with, I just know it eventually comes. It might be discovered, dunno

[nova geode]

Tile extras maybe

[south swan]

It's a purchasable thing, they're separate or whatever reason.

[nova geode]

people of tortuga sells it.

[midnight flicker]

Mannn these creations in here are 🔥🔥🔥

[nova geode]

theres some nice ones

[midnight flicker]

I've only just been exploring the whole building aspect but its really fleshed out and I love it. Might take some inspiration from stuff in here! Keep it up y'all 🧡

[radiant trellis]

Building a slip:

[nova geode]

i only recently completed my base after acquiring all the blueprints

[balmy vector]

Customization option?

Big flag on back?

[stuck crane]

yeah damnit

ty guys

[shell turret]

amazing work

[pure kernel]

i hope there is something wrong with my watch......... 😴 😂 its 6 in the morning all of a sudden 👀

[radiant meteor]

my work in progress so far

[mystic cloak]

apparently it's rave-night in New Abbernathy

[warped pelican]

That’s a rave alright

I gotta get to building at one point

[mystic cloak]

a little sneak peak at the church in my town before I post the full town album in media-sharing.

[orchid veldt]

It happened to me too a couple of times... It's a watch conspiracy!

[hoary finch]

question for you builders, that specifically build around the foothills cliffs. How often if ever do the pirates that patrol that area attack your buildings ?

[vestal carbon]

The lighthouse I’ve been working on

[ruby tree]

They mostly seem to ignore buildings. You can even build stuff around them while in combat to quarantine them into corners

[warped pelican]

So you can basically trap them, sounds fun

[twin shuttle]

The building in this game allows for so much creativity! loving it!

[ruby tree]

yeah. Its a bit of a cheese tactic though. Works in most areas, but not boss arenas.

[twin shuttle]

would be cool if they added something where the AI attacks your base so you can build kinda fort like buildings with cannons

[warped pelican]

So…. Would ther even be a good use to trap enemies then?

[tacit fern]

Lol maybe but also please no lmfao

[hard oak]

There is a poll where base defense is an option of possible additions.

[ruby tree]

It was probably a thing, but was removed because of how frustrating it was for npc to grief your base. Part of Windroses intention was to avoid PvP at least for now, and I think basebuilding is the reason why.

[hard oak]

Poll here
#│discord-news message

[warped pelican]

Hell no,

[twin shuttle]

oh sick where!?

[twin shuttle]

maybe a dedicated area where you can build a fort and do all that and your main base doesnt get hurt

[hard oak]

Conan Exiles has that, and depending on server rate (didicult settings) can be sooo dificult 🤣

[warped pelican]

I’d rather let the kraken take me to Davey jones Locker

[twin shuttle]

YES kraken fight wud be dope!

[flint knot]

new angles unlocked time to rebuild base

new seedbeds be cool as heck

[oak magnet]

Unfortunately, I can't get the "Photomod" running, without crushing my game 🥹
So here's just an excerpt of my work so far

[uncut gale]

Oeh love what you did with the arch. takes notes

[plucky tree]

what does everyone do with the bonfire do you build round it or can you build without it

[uncut gale]

You can build without it, but storage pulling and a lot of benches dont work

[plucky tree]

ahhh thank you

[uncut gale]

You can notice when walking outside the circle, you suddenly dont have the resources available from boxes.

[autumn badger]

🧙‍♂️

[vestal carbon]

I also noticed that decorations are unable to be placed outside bonfire range

[uncut gale]

True, cuz you have the +1 function on rested without a bonfire

[tranquil flax]

They will stay after the bonfire is removed, they just don't function for the +1 rested. So you can still pretty the place up if you like lol

[abstract badger]

Devs simply stole a bunch of materials from us.... We have placed, for example, cannons for 10 iron each, now its 5. When i deconstruct i get 5, not 10. I'm grateful for reduced cost, but why big chunk of my materials are lost?

[patent violet]

Just a couple of ideas i had for the new farm plots. Still workin it.

[grave vessel]

10/10 easily my favorite thing ive seen here

[unique jungle]

My humble dwelling

[empty abyss]

where did u found the new seedbeds?

[flint knot]

they just atomatically unlocked when i loaded the game

[abstract badger]

should be available if you had unlocked flowerbed before

[flint knot]

assuming you already had the normal seedbed

[empty abyss]

yeah i have it already but still only one seedbed

[flint knot]

in the farming section right? maybe try picking up fertile soil again

[small rampart]

[zealous stag]

Gentlemen. I need paint. For reasons.

[upper narwhal]

another day wasted ... but i got a planning-room for battletaktics and to teach upcomming captains how to move as a fleet. Later tried a fight vs a Fortress but well ... rate yourself 😉

[storm mesa]

how did you get those

[hot helm]

What the F they did to the Wolf Trophy ?? Looks like a dµmb hyena now

[patent violet]

the model boats are a reward from the end of a quest chain.
