[ruby tree]

Very nice castle that one there

[dreamy forge]

All of our team members had a hard time during the castle building🤣

[south cliff]

yeah because you reach the limit from standing normal

[lament cove]

What do you guys think so far

[upper narwhal]

very nice as allways! maybe i should move the plants out of the water and place them arround also. Should make a save and try (gets distracted from the castle again ^^ )

[dire ravine]

tf

[wheat pagoda]

We are taking over the island... but also HOW do you all get your pictures so clear?

[ruby tree]

You need to build a temporary wall behind your character so the camera collides with it

Like here, I just mash my character against the wall and turn the camera and I can get a clear shot

[wheat pagoda]

Aye... but the "clear " part is my struggle.

[ruby tree]

You mean hiding the UI? Press the / ? button

Beside right shift

[wheat pagoda]

No... clear.... as in not blurry.

[rotund harness]

My Mate and made a little Treehouse

[ruby tree]

What are you using to snap the screenshots?

I use Snipping Tool usually, or PrintScreen then crop it in Paint.

[wheat pagoda]

All that And then edit it afterwards.

[ruby tree]

Hmm, if you're exporting the image as a .jpg instead of a .png then that would cause blurring, yeah

[candid heath]

my solo build project thus far

[rich silo]

Guys, am I creative or what?

[bright birch]

A better photo

Dinner party anyone?

the captains office

[final bridge]

I wish we could put the chairs closer so we could sit at the table

[bright birch]

wish we had curved plaster walls

[obtuse idol]

Was worth all 200 of their lives

[tough hull]

Finally got my boathouse done

[cosmic aurora]

nice!

[cosmic aurora]

got any more screen shots?

[cosmic aurora]

oh my god that is such a cool idea imma steal that lmao. imma make a big one for my brige but without a roof with stone lol.

whats that wheel looking thing?

[tough hull]

lol, yea, I had to make the door that high for the sail on the dinghy so I could only imagine what a brig house would look like haha

[pale stump]

pier winch

[gloomy helm]

i should also probably build a large shipyard as well

[cosmic aurora]

im still at the foothills so there probubly alot of things im missing.

[gloomy helm]

gonna look absurd tho

[tough hull]

that building on the right is where I'm putting my ware/counting house, so that's the next one

getting this balcony was absurd

[cosmic aurora]

nice, imagine doing the ones on my building, each side of my house has inverted circles lol and a circle hole with a garden in the middle of the house with circle gardens surounding the house. took forever but was worth.

[tough hull]

yeah there's a weird thing where some of the pieces attach EVER so slightly off, and it's the most frustrating part lol

honestly I'm more concerned about my roof lol

[cosmic aurora]

yee very much so especially if you didnt catch it and have to start over

[cosmic aurora]

you can pull off that roof trust

[tough hull]

ooo that's a nice balcony

[tough hull]

appreciate the support lol

[cosmic aurora]

thats cool

[bright birch]

It's a bit janky but just keep toying with it and you'll get it

The small alcove looking balcony is right off the captains office from above

[cosmic aurora]

got any pictures of the inside?

[bright birch]

Oh yes

[bright birch]

Start here I guess

[cosmic aurora]

ahh that os from this building, nice i seen those!

[cosmic aurora]

i wish i could show off my interior but its a bit crampt for pictures.

[cosmic aurora]

i cant wait till i unlock desks

[tough hull]

first floor warehouse

don't mind the pillar out front it's a guide

[tough hull]

in desperate need of those decorations lol

[bright birch]

They are pretty nice

i made a library cuz why not

[cosmic aurora]

you should make a secret stash of treasure behind a book shelf

[bright birch]

who ever said there wasnt

[cosmic aurora]

lol

[tough hull]

lol

[quasi root]

That's literally gorgeous

[ionic sparrow]

You all build such incredible things! Thanks for sharing to help noob like me to build other stuff than simple shoebox

[bright birch]

The view from my crafting pavilion

[cosmic aurora]

start with foundation, make it more intresting than a box, then a outline, then the walls, then the roof and your golden.

then figure out where you can put windows, furniture, and rooms.

[cosmic aurora]

nice!

[tough hull]

to add test your roof pieces against the floors, so you know how long each roof piece is. It'll save you headache when you're planning so you don't have to delete your building to an offset roof lol

[bright birch]

second floor still WIP but this is just outside the library

[tough hull]

oo that's nice

[cosmic aurora]

there is a reason my roof is flat on top for the most part XD

[cosmic aurora]

^

[bright birch]

Rooftop balcony number 2

[cosmic aurora]

OMG THERE ARE FOUNTANS I MUST OWN ONE!

[tough hull]

haha nice are those floor tiles?

[bright birch]

There are two different kinds

I use both

I'm sorry 3 types

[cosmic aurora]

How do you get them?

it would be nice to have a big one in front of the house rather than the fire

[tough hull]

I think it's the smuggelrs that has em

lv4 i believe

[cosmic aurora]

i never seen ill have to go and look.

its so hard grinding for gold coins T>T

[tough hull]

either way all the vendors are in torgtuga so you can just check each one

[tough hull]

smugglers you can buy em with piastres 50:1

[cosmic aurora]

i know, thats the main way i get them

[tough hull]

word

painful part is you need to be boarding to maximize the profits and boarding is a pain lol

[bright birch]

rooftop balcony number 1

right off the library

[tough hull]

😮 I love the smaller one on the right

[bright birch]

i have them flanking the stairs

[cosmic aurora]

those are so cool, definitly going for those next.

[bright birch]

I put one in my bedroom to serve as a washbasin

[tough hull]

currently farming wood so i can continue the build lol

[cosmic aurora]

one thing i wish they had was some kind of water tile so i can make swimming pools that arent near the cost.

[bright birch]

Dig a river

[cosmic aurora]

but it would have to go far under ground...

ill have to try that on another island

[wanton musk]

start of my new main base.

[raven glacier]

Update on the indoor boat parking

[tough hull]

haha awesome

[bright birch]

the interior side of the front door

[cosmic aurora]

damn, someones been busy XD

[wanton musk]

considering doing a few windows' like this.

[cosmic aurora]

THATS COOL!

[lost sun]

https://giphy.com/gifs/tuff-loot-gem-alert-UnxRUv9qibXvhR2Hny

This is perhaps the best generated island in all of windrose

Im genuinely overwqhelmed by how good it is

[cosmic aurora]

i had something similar happen to me in minecraft with a mountain, nothing will top it.

Inside is hollow too so i could build the castle inside without mining it all out.

i know its a bit off topic but ill keep the convo back on windrose

[lost sun]

Genuine peak literally and metaphorically

[gloomy helm]

there are curved walls and floor later on

tho i haven't really used them (yet)

[cosmic aurora]

i think it tried to generate a big cave on top of a normal mpuntain and had to cover that cave which made that mountain.

are you able to show more of your island?

[hearty karma]

an start to my base

[cosmic aurora]

definitly got a good start, its not a box and has muliple layers of elevation to it, cant wait to see how it turns out!

wait hows that staire caase gonna work?

[lost sun]

Yes, Im mapping out things rn

[hearty karma]

stair case?

[tough hull]

😮 damn for all the decor types? I'm really hurting without half square triangles and a crescent for the spiral stairs

[cosmic aurora]

you have a stair case going into another stair case in a weird way that wont connect right if im not mistaken? its gard to tell with the angle of the picture

[lost sun]

The whole thing is like, surrounded by stone formations too

Its like shipwreck cove from POTC

Whoever coded world generation needs a raise LOL

[hearty karma]

this?

These are the stairs I'm worried about. but that later me problem

[proven wren]

castle mega build is slowly starting to take shape a bit. a lot of scaffolding.

[proven wren]

I like that a lot

[cosmic aurora]

yeah i see now, i thought that angled stair case was stright, thought it wasnt connecting right.

[cosmic aurora]

good luck soldier o7

[cosmic aurora]

where has all the rum gone?

[agile robin]

we drank it

[cosmic aurora]

darn you all, i knew i could trust you lol.

is there a way to re grow grass?

[wraith blaze]

Working on this

The inside is like a 4 bedroom, 1 kitchen, 1 library (at top), courtyard in middle, market to the left, docks to left and right

I disguised a lot of the crafting tables as shops

[tired barn]

my wife spent a lot of time on the alchemy hut potions galore! Rosalinda doesnt seem to mind the accommodations one bit

[wraith blaze]

What kinda roof is that, looks sick

[tired barn]

ill have to ask her and get back to you , im just the gatherer while she builds xD

she gets all the money for building plans haha im just the peon

[bright birch]

im adding moar houses to the town

[lean hornet]

making some ruins

[mortal pivot]

a parrot in game that gives you flying view for taking screenshots from high of your builds or to build easier would be great

[chilly steppe]

storage design

[celest storm]

Rate my Spanish star fort

[sacred jay]

Puerto Pirata

[glad kraken]

quick question is there a way to increase the radius of the bonfire?

[mortal pivot]

no

[upper narwhal]

looking very nice ... used them in my tavern basement to hide chests and "expensive" barrels but this is much cooler

[mortal pivot]

just destroy then move build whats needed and repeat just make sure chests and benches for crafting are in bonfire range

[upper narwhal]

I like the church tower 🙂

[solemn grotto]

Finally completed the most essential building to my port.

[glad kraken]

good idea

[raven glacier]

yes and no.....you can build them one close to the other but they wont share ressources or you can stack them if you are going to build high up

[karmic ruin]

How?

[lavish root]

https://i.imgur.com/OvMNJEu.jpeg

[silent heron]

Poles, chains and pole.

[karmic ruin]

I only got like 15 hours and I didn’t know we had chains in this game

[mortal pivot]

unlocked with chandeliers

[karmic ruin]

Not a trophy hunter IRL, but I want to hunt all of those

[mortal pivot]

entrance to my fortress just need to build the walls around the island

[tough hull]

finally finished the facade and interior structure of the counting house. Now I just needs decoratin and unlocking some more themes

really hoping they add some more sac types, like some that are laying flat or bent over a bit. would love some larger storages that are like two or three barrels/crates

[silent heron]

This is the look i wanna acomplish. Messy, basic material built-upon-itself organic hanging pirate city

[copper moss]

sheesh some crazy builds here, i WAS proud of my lil shack

[light raptor]

have you posted it?

[tough hull]

some of the builds here are wild good

really hopin to see stuff like this soon though. WOuld really make the decorating pop.

or even be able to rotate items on an axis

[vital gazelle]

finally found the pixel placement and the glitch to hand stuff to chains xD

[slow walrus]

has anyone considered building one of the cities from assassins creed black flag

i tried building just a quarter of the house and it took a couple of hours

[tough hull]

that quarter looks pretty good!

[brazen canyon]

If u clip a log seat trough that u might actually be able to use it

Well sit on it at least

[vital gazelle]

is your game still vanilla? because the way I attach things to chains is... orientation xD you know if you know but your log seems to be clipping to both chains, or... it's not?

[jaunty loom]

what if we could enchant coconuts and shoot them out of cannons

[lean maple]

Lighthouse build. I built so high i could no longer reach recourses out of my chests

[vital gazelle]

ok ... I'm getting creative with the glitch hahahah

literally anything can be attached

[tough hull]

I love that bar!

[upper narwhal]

🙂 nice one ..made me think about a battle-ram on a castle gate GROND! GROND! (i know that was a wolfshead)

[silent heron]

Coco-nanons

[chilly steppe]

Bar area work in progress 🙂

[lean maple]

Lighthouse Village with a sandy beachfront resort area... Tiki Bar Coming soon

[glacial elm]

Legit all of ya are so creative lol props to you all! the builds are lookin amazing 🔥

[brazen canyon]

Thats the height u add another bonfire and new storage and build more right 😂

[void ember]

@hardy canyon 👌

[hard oak]

Chest is concealed behind the panel right?

[chilly steppe]

yes!

[hard oak]

A raaaam

[upper narwhal]

!

could have done a tank with the chassis also 🙂

[hard oak]

I was gonna make one. Now I dont need to.

[upper narwhal]

tank or ram ?

[hard oak]

Ram

[upper narwhal]

go for it .. this was a 5 min project just as i saw the swing

[hard oak]

Cmon is 18th century

[rocky igloo]

I just joined cuz I had a pressing question on my mind. Is there ANY way to achieve less than a 15° angle?

[hard oak]

Na, i was procrastinating because I don’t have a build for it so I would also need to mash up a 5minutes whole scene for it and then I wouldn’t want to delete

[hard oak]

No

And mods

[upper narwhal]

i planted 40 palms to see if 2 show up that are leaning to each other to make a swing out of them 🙂

[rocky igloo]

Ah .. so sad..
I hope the building becomes more indepth at some point. Similar to Satisfactory where you can do a hella lot with snapping methods

[hard oak]

I wqs going for somth like this

[upper narwhal]

yep

[hard oak]

But the goat head, perfect 🤣

[upper narwhal]

we need a solo barrel that we can use as a wheel

not this 3pack .. where you have to burry 2 or use 2 and try to hide the 3rd

[rocky igloo]

Anyway, have the harbot me and my wife built

Is there a way to take cleaner pics?

[upper narwhal]

better weather 🙂

[hard oak]

Was thinking to use the Hunting circle decor actually

[upper narwhal]

that i used 1st try

and had not enough ram... whatever it wanted

as i am cut off from my main-supplydepots i would have to run .. hate the fires

esp on large bases where your depot gets out of range

[pliant violet]

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove animal dens or if there is a way to enclose them? I tried with rope fences but I keep finding them outside

[rocky igloo]

Fires need upgradability similar to Enshrouded has it

Also why can't you place decor like torches outside of bonfires. That's such an annoying thing to having to bypass

[upper narwhal]

i only need the warehouses/stash to build from everywhere .. to place a fire to be able to place stuff there is ok ..

and make the fires a cube 🙂

[rocky igloo]

Just build a circular base :)))

[upper narwhal]

^^ yep

could build a death star 🙂

ppl want the falcon ... or the ncc 1701

[hard oak]

Just put the bonfire, add light and remove bonfire

[tribal barn]

anyone here build a pagoda?

[rocky igloo]

Yes, but when you have already placed a bonfire near that place that's meant to be staying there it's a bit annoying to having to remove that one first since you cant overlap em

[hard oak]

Move the original one

[rocky igloo]

I do have a bonfire that's very integrated in the build of my tower. Removing that one means needing to removing and replacing maybe parts :(

[wraith aspen]

Our starting building has become an inn/common house

[rocky igloo]

Fancy

[dreamy forge]

Arch columns are really good. ❤️

[shadow plaza]

I’m trying to do something like that but inside this thing 🤣

[silent heron]

Holy Jesus..

[shadow plaza]

Looks cooler when it storms

[autumn skiff]

we honestly got a little carried away and thought of a bunch of stuff the devs could add lol

[tough hull]

black magic... i've been trying for like 10 min lol

[vital gazelle]

look what I did with that glitch 😄 hand made heavy cranes for a repair/loading dock 😄

it fits a ship inside and it looks is really loading cannons and supplies 😄

it goes over the ship bridge

[tough hull]

lol that's so cool

I've ben trying with exactly what you did on the crane

can't for the life of me get it to stick

[vital gazelle]

I made "counterweights" 😄

it's a glitch btw 😛 and then pixel placement

man idk why but this alone is so cool xD

[vital gazelle]

if you can't make it, let me know I'll dm you how xD

took me a good 40 mins'ish of cursing xD but than I made it hahaha

[tough hull]

why not just put it in here, lol you've got all the pics. I keep getting right to where it says unstable then slide it up a bit. But I can't get it green. the only one i've ben able to attach is the sword, but nothing else has been workin lol

[vital gazelle]

let me take some pics of the "restaurant" of my pirate cove 😄 the vibe is jsut a messy pirate cove

it took me a stupid amount of time

[obsidian vapor]

im waiting

[tough hull]

yeah I'm done lol. can't even get a wink of green

[vital gazelle]

sorry back, dogs were a bit too quiet.. and well >_> one was trying to get some food

ok so

the theme is a pirate cove, and a take over of an old castle: I actually built a castle(made of stone) then destroyed some part of it as if it has seen war and then as pirates takeover I build it on wood.

the front side of the castle now has I front of the ship I built as a balcony and repurpose it as a restaurant

I even built the masts 😛

the inside of the ship is a treasure room

@tough hull @obsidian vapor

[autumn skiff]

yea thats pretty hard lol just tried for like 10 mins straight

[upper narwhal]

make a jump and run course out of it ... so it feels like chasing chanties in AC: black flag

[mint finch]

this is such good idea xd

[shadow creek]

How are y'all building these builds in such a short amount of time? I'm still only working on the tide barrier of my foothills base (will be main base eventually)?

[jaunty loom]

Yes you can use forward slash (/) to remove the HUD for screenshots, just make sure to press it again to bring it back

[lapis lark]

Hallo, I figured out how to disable the HUD finally lol! I built a banquet hall today after we finished the kitchen yesterday, and I started raising the second floor 🙂

[eager stream]

Has anyone made a dock/pier of stone?

[vital gazelle]

that good is the base building that bad is ship combat sadly >_>

[eager stream]

Is ship combat bad?

[vital gazelle]

no module dmg, no ship management, all inventory is "virtualized" into an inventory slot. idk it's plain

[eager stream]

I agree, but they are currently making polls on extended/new features regarding ships

[vital gazelle]

like when boarding, capture the ship and keep it or sell it ... idk

[eager stream]

It would be realistic but it would also be abused and making the grind easy

making the other aspects not matter

[vital gazelle]

ye but like, choosing the crew, crew skill. whatever.. :>

[eager stream]

Yeah that i really want to see aswell

Everything that can be personalized should be implemented

[lone folio]

ship customization would be cool too, more than what we currently have, and they affect the appearance, unlike what we have now that's only stats "the canons/hull/board"

[slim flume]

My roots inspired me to creating towards a Dutch settlement.

[eager stream]

sea of thieves customization would be cool

choosing each item specificly

[vital gazelle]

btw to everyone I'll tell you how the glitch works with chains 😛 so you can build stuf like this: can hang all decos and storages

build the pre built crane or make or own but build it a bit higher, because the chain needs to go down a bit.
Then build the chain on the hook with snappin on: then build 4 down and then turn snapping off and buildone like this: then take any deco and point where the top of the "not snapped chain" and there we go "green" you can build 😄 and then you can remove the bottom chains since the game counts the most top one as functional

and there you have your hanging cannon 😄

[hard oak]

@tawdry acorn

[vital gazelle]

literally anything works xD

[eager stream]

Gonna try this thank you, by any chance you made any lightposts?

[vital gazelle]

like?

[tawdry acorn]

Similar buildstyle as me ;D

[eager stream]

Idk just a basic street lamp

Im looking for designs for it to light up

[kindred yoke]

I am so keen for some fish piles, decorations, large fish on hook deco for the docks. God i hope they add that in, the tiger shark on a hook at tortuga is so sick haha

[vital gazelle]

if it becomes a deco, you'll be able to hang it on the chains 😛

[abstract badger]

<@&1354821664998817822>

[kindred yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/amusement-park-swings-carnival-ride-flying-chair-music-festival-gif-14340599

this but fish lol hell yeah

[shrewd magnet]

Done

[shadow creek]

Tide Wall in progress.

[open imp]

Probably farming Piastres then just buying the resources. Build while your next batch come in go pick up from merchant and order again. Rinse and repeat. It is what I do. A friend and I go farm Piastres. Then I order, farm more. Piastres. Then build. Rinse and repeat.

[scenic frost]

I found a perfect base island to build on

the entrance on both sides is a cliff face, it has hardwood on the island & is large enough to park multiple ships inside

[open imp]

I have found that one as well….. been brainstorming what I want to do lol

[hard oak]

Saaame

[tawdry plover]

I found it yesterday too, but i decide for another island for my pirate city project

[hard oak]

I like how everyone feels that they found perfect donut island until they realize everyone has it too

Probably the biggest rated plot of land before swamp logs

[eager stream]

Meanwhile i tend to use the least talked about islands for some reason lol

[zealous stag]

Well, it's either that, or the one rock face that can spawn at the edge of a costal jungle isle that has an arch under it.

[hard oak]

Not like I can tell, which is this

[humble thistle]

kind of. Made it from stone first, then extended it with wood.

[late dome]

So.... no 3D modelling is allowed for the contest?
Does anyone know?

[eager stream]

That looks nice, thank you

[humble thistle]

a closer up image of the edge. 😄

a note tho, I'ts pain to get the ships this close to the stone, so I'd suggest to make the pier go a bit further into the sea.

[eager stream]

That looks really good tho, i never thought about doing that xD

[eager stream]

Yeah, i think im going to try and just ram some of my ships close to the pier and just leave them there for decoration

[humble thistle]

idk how the ramming works tho. I did that, and apparently/maybe it was too close, since I loaded back into the server and the ship went around 10m back to the sea.

[upper narwhal]

canopy under the floor

[eager stream]

That might be true, i never tried it

[topaz jay]

Has anyone had success making a sea base? I wanted a base not on the shore at all but idk if that's feasible with building stability limited

[zealous stag]

After a certain distance away from the islands, the land simply cuts off and drops into the infinite void.
There are some tiny tiny rock islands that can spawn though, and some people have built entire dock messes off of those.

[eager stream]

Is there any way to help with visibility when digging underwater?

[tiny knot]

Truffle, get down mate

[south cliff]

a torch

you can build lights under water

[eager stream]

Thanks, thought that wouldnt work lol

[south cliff]

yeah same but sure does pretty sure when i loaded back in they were out havnt looked again

[eager stream]

Alr thats nice tho so you dont need to go back and find them

Did you by any chance use the larger shovel radius mod?

[south cliff]

this dig has some in it but day time

yeah this one & no mods just what game supplys

[eager stream]

Damn, you really got nice edges

[south cliff]

if you hit the edge at max depth it takes huge chunks or coded ground.sometimes will square off

[eager stream]

Yeah i noticed that, did it by accident

[lavish nacelle]

It’s still a work in progress, but I’ve really been enjoying building in this game, and i’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from the community 🔥 ❤️

[tribal barn]

Credit goes to @edgy sinew for the torii gate

[south cliff]

like the dodo nest on left is restricted so thats natural edge but behind or on right thats hiting the edges right same as level or flatten you can back fill easy

[eager stream]

Insane, is that 45 degrees?

[eager stream]

Ah okey

[south cliff]

secret door 🧐

[lavish nacelle]

The first and second layers are at 30°, while the third layer is a combination of 15° and 45°

[eager stream]

Nice, ive struggled with the snapping making circles they never line up consistently

[hard oak]

Beautiful tower

[hard oak]

Another asian builder 🤩

[dull spruce]

so got this blank canvas of a platform any ideas

[frosty kraken]

You could always make it a marketplace with all the vendor pieces and other stuff like that

Set up pillars and beams to hold the roofs and open up the center?

[eager stream]

Same thing i was thinking, maybe a marketplace or a entertainment area, it kinda looks like a stage would be natural to me atleast

[cloud pagoda]

Harvest Time, the magic moment of maturation.

[nova horizon]

Little update on my base before i start building London 🤣🤣
https://youtu.be/Kp2gptV8Ui8?is=MfkFzCeBZHDsghpo

[edgy sinew]

Much love 🫶

[nova silo]

That's an awesome base tried something like this too but failed😅

[nova horizon]

Ty! I was tryng to hold that practical side that base is playable too 😁

[fervent mist]

I really need windows and doors with the yellow stones..

[left spoke]

Is there a base building competition somewhere? Watching the vids of people's bases is awesome.

[fervent mist]

My new house looks dumb with the plaster bits

[fervent mist]

So when can i hire you to decorate my base xD

[nova horizon]

When ever u want and before my london project 😆

[fervent mist]

Im building a bunch of shells and deciding on a layout as i go but furnishing and deco is gonna kill me lol

Cant wait to see the london build tho

Dont forget the big ben 😁😁👍

[nova horizon]

Ahahha im searching for island atm where do i have to do less flatting 😅

[fervent mist]

Yeh thats a pain in the butt

Scrapped so many builds due to sand poking through lol

[nova horizon]

Indeed. But i think i have atleast 1 island in good shape 🙂

[frosty kraken]

Have you thought about the shipwreck islands? They tend to be flatter (smaller tho)

You can also implement the existing wreck in the build

[abstract badger]

none of the ships are suitable for build. They are tilted a bit to the side, so floor is not "flat"

you will be able to build inside, but one side of every bench/decoration will be up in the air

[frosty kraken]

You can use them as "support" or make it as if the building is wrapping around em ( I'm just throwing a suggestion)

For example using the side holes as an entrance and using the ship's inbuilt staircase to go to an upper floor etc.

[pale whale]

got some ritual here xD

[quaint sedge]

100% it does!

[nova horizon]

Yes that crossed my mind

[upper narwhal]

tnx 🙂 will spread some more of those over the frontside

[wanton aurora]

Yoo, that,s actually Smart, might steal this for my build later 😉

[tacit thistle]

I'm not done but I'm really with how it's turning out so I wanted to share it :)

[upper narwhal]

fine with me ... i put a large wallpiece out and put in 2 inclined walls from above nudged in and 2 from below also nuged in .. rest is some freestyle placement and rotation of stairs stone and cornerwall stone

[tiny knot]

Traveling into the unknown

[wanton aurora]

O, Thanks for the info.

[upper narwhal]

np

[wanton aurora]

pfft, i just realized i quoted the wrong person instead of you @upper narwhal , sorry FrozenPlat, also ontop of that nice build, used that exact island for my Fort @tacit thistle .

[blazing iron]

looks like a scene from burning man

[blazing iron]

the top of your tower looks just like the holy seplucher for real

[hearty wasp]

he's a pirate starts playing

[kindred yoke]

Wow the level of talent and creativity (and patience) from a lot of yall building whole towns is insane! absolutely goated player base

[eager stream]

Any tips for this build going forward? im unsure if i should keep going with stone flooring or try to transition it into a more natural pathing to buildings

[rocky igloo]

Mmmmmm, curves 🤤

Could try having markets along that line with house walls making a border to it, if you know what I am trying to say

[dusty junco]

Lighthouse at sunset, kinda looks cool

[eager stream]

Yeah, thats my rough idea of having market and a loading dock (maybe a farm field) and between the rocks im gonna make a path to different houses etc, im just struggling to figure out how

[rocky igloo]

I've been there many times in my builds. Maybe times a harbor of mine ended up abandoned because of that very question ._.

[eager stream]

Exactly, im just trying to crack the barrier to get back into a flow state xD

[rocky igloo]

If you check the last pic I sent here you can actually see we are kinda in the same boat here

[rocky igloo]

What was the island this was built on? Tiny or did you just build far out the island?

[tough hull]

should absolutely do a video and get you some views lol

[eager stream]

Yeah i see what you mean, its so much easier to build when you are just making a small village, but i wanted to go out of my comfort zone for this build

[tough hull]

this is SICK

[forest raft]

Little Tree House 🙂

[vital gazelle]

😄

[fluid tundra]

This started a 3x3 square leaf house on starter island as it's my 1st ever playthrough, the comfort level buff had me upgrading and adding to it at every chance I had, it's not perfect, but I'm actually surprised how well it turned out considering I wasn't really trying for anything special.

[dusty junco]

on a very small island next to my base

[coarse swallow]

So crops don't sway anymore when you walk through them. Is there a reason for that or is that a bug?

[slim dirge]

putting the first lines of a big build

[left spoke]

Love seeing all the different designs. You can build anything anywhere. Best thing about his game.

What's better? Trying to find design plans or buying them from factions?

[upper narwhal]

could not resist to change the ram 🙂

[tawny cliff]

Cosy Cove Cottage

[upper narwhal]

nice details

[grave vessel]

fixable or am I doomed?

[silent bridge]

doomed king

for now there's some stuff like that we just have to make peace with until some later patches

[grave vessel]

id ping the devs and threaten a lawsuit if I wasnt broke, emotional distress has been confirmed

https://tenor.com/view/table-hit-yakuza-hitting-table-walk-out-gif-15307369

now I debate, do I tell my friends and ruin it for them, or keep it a secret

[silent bridge]

keep it a secret and hope they don't notice lmao

[grave vessel]

I suppose...

[silent bridge]

I spent 30 mins last night trying to make a cross that wasn't wonky for my fort chapel

settled on these and decided to leave it until I can fix it later lmao

[sudden briar]

Slowly adding to the build everyday as I slow roll the story and farm resources.

bro building the Jedi temple over there xD

[scenic spindle]

Im horrible at taking pictures

@tacit sail Thanks 🙂

[zealous stag]

You can do / to hide the hud for those shots. and / to bring it back. (On US keyboards)

[hard oak]

Hahah

[hard oak]

Awesome. Im just off work and idk if I can recover from today 😏

[vital gazelle]

you still around?

[tough hull]

yeh

[vital gazelle]

ok, give me another 20'ish mions of cursing then I'll link what I just built xD

[void ginkgo]

I'm not 100% sure but I think the faction ones can't be found in the wild

Progress is being made:

[strange rain]

Shipyard

[tight quiver]

missed opportunity to call it: Tor2ga

[dreamy stratus]

how can i make big place in circle if fundations isn't coordinated ?

[vital gazelle]

I'm consumed xD

[grave vessel]

ai should be a week mute

[vital gazelle]

time to take off boys xD

[grave vessel]

I feel like they should stretch double doors a tad so you can snap them into a 1 block spot and fill in with small walls

if there are double doors that fit into spots like that pleast lmk 🙏

[tough hull]

I wish those doorways didn't have the facade at the top

[fickle plinth]

Holy sh*t lmao that's too good !

[tough hull]

Lmao it really is. The detail is crazy haha

[nova oriole]

A good video for anyone wondering the functions of castles and their defenses.

[vital gazelle]

building that wasted me xD

I know what I would like to build next, but the building structure is too weak >_> and I can't

[humble thistle]

My castle project is almost done.
Cant remember who I got the idea from for the style of the windows and the top parts of the walls. Reveal yourself if you recognize the style. ❤️

The walls inside the castle, i left a 1x1 wall gap so i could get the wooden panelling to work. I absolutely love how the windows turned out to be from inside.

[fickle plinth]

Double layered walls ? Maybe from me then

[simple lagoon]

or give us 1/4 wall vertical pieces so we can center/space them as we see fit

[grave vessel]

damn you flexing the double layered walls before I finished my base and did the same thing

[fickle plinth]

I crave for half floor triangles 📐

[grave vessel]

🙏

[humble thistle]

I only did the double layered walls because I wanted the inside to be wooden. 😄

And it turned out to be amazing.

[grave vessel]

same here, as much as I love stone im not trying to live in a conquest box

[fickle plinth]

Yeah it's nice to have a different texture inside and outside 😄

[fickle plinth]

#🎨│creative message / #🎨│creative message / #🎨│creative message some of my 2 layers walls / windows 😄

[hot kettle]

Anyone else want road cosmetics like stone roads etc

Street themes etc

[eager stream]

wdym, like inspiration?

[hot kettle]

So pathways slabs

Cobblestones

Maybe diffrent dirt tiles

I know we can sink stone to make stone roads but it just seems to same when buildings are all made from it

Like totuga

Look at the roads in tortuga

[eager stream]

I tend to use planks at times when building roads, havent really tested alot with combining stuff but i will give it a try

[pure kernel]

wip

[rich forge]

I search so long for anyone , who build a shipyard it looks very good

[opaque pilot]

All these amazing towns! It would be nice to give our crews shore leave so they can enjoy them. The doctor will sometimes take a seat on my porch to enjoy the sunset. It would be cool to have some other people wandering around to give things some life.

[pure kernel]

i 100% agree

people at the taverns, in seating areas or that you could buy workers that would help with more stuff than the existing ones

[opaque pilot]

Ha! My bar needs a bartender! 🙂

And more of the awesome pirate shanties so they can be sung there.

[abstract badger]

summon your 2-3 big ships and watch fps die

[opaque pilot]

Ha! Gladly!

[nova horizon]

@fervent mist i found the island sad part is got to build half of the island to have that canal 😄

[hot path]

glass signal fire light house

those rocks take forever

[hazy oyster]

tips how to make the big wall a bit more dynamic? and the outside, how /what do I do to make that less....ugly XD masybe reshape the roof? I JUST saw i can buy new stuff with gold so im going around trying to find that now but in the meanwhile maybe some1 have some tips

[quasi plinth]

Beams

[nova oriole]

You could extend the loft all the way and make it a partial storage and bedroom.

[hazy oyster]

i already try to add a bit details under the extensions 😄

[lofty cloud]

We need more Deco, if you build a town all looks the same with this poor selection of deco 🙁

[hazy oyster]

hmm yeah so just 2 floors, ...maybe a center opening or something.. I wanna have light down stairs too though, maybe there needs to be a kitchendownstairs also still..i dont know what buildingparts will come haha 😄 thanks for advise maybe I do extend it for now

[quasi plinth]

See the beams on the windows and walls, they add a lot of detail and make the walls feel more alive

[hazy oyster]

oh wow we can get whole dining table nice

those handplace? I try beam-on side of stone but they disappear

i did it nvalheim always haha

[quasi plinth]

yea it's all hand-placed (by my wife, I made the blacksmith while she made the cathedral lol)

[hazy oyster]

ooooh we get trolley system for habor sick

[lofty cloud]

🙂

[stray nacelle]

Started on my first village of sorts. I don;t really have a plan as such. It started with the first building, a house built on a copper mine entrance. gbround floor is themine entrance and space for mining equipment and storage, with residential areas upstairs for the family.

Second building is a forge/smelter/blacksmith shop, with the workshop area outside and residence inside.

3rd is the dock house.

I haven't touched the interiors yet, other than the forge area, as I will get super sidetracked before getting more buildings up.

[quasi plinth]

there's a ton of deco in the game later on, jus tkeep playing and they will come

[nova oriole]

I would extend it, then perhaps below you could build an open hearth fire, build into the floor down 1 half wall, foundation the floor with stone below and use the cage lights and space them out evenly per 1x1 square and surround it with stone or clay trim and use small wooden log beams as wood on the fire

Maybe make the hearth fire 2x4

I'll make a demo rq to show u

[lofty cloud]

https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500240914080202902 look my City pls 😉

[hazy oyster]

so cool!!! my gf make the harbor sales thingy i made our home haha 😄 other guy made....big tower XD

[hazy oyster]

dangit i need moreee parts haha :DDD i only have plank lol

and i found a torch and 1x1 stone

this game is so sick jeeesus 😄

[nova oriole]

this is an open hearth fire

turn off snapping in order to criss cross the beams to act like firewood

[hazy oyster]

that city is so cool @lofty cloud

[abstract badger]

every fire source decrease your FPS

[stray nacelle]

the fireplace base is also real nice for this as it puts out a lot of flame. I used one for the "forge" in my pic a few posts back.

[lofty cloud]

thx

[nova oriole]

I don't notice much of a difference on my PC but it would vary for others

[hazy oyster]

who cares about fps....1fps = a great image right?! /s 😄

[nova oriole]

Turn down effects setting might help that

[abstract badger]

this, add other lights that you add later + crew of the docked ship

[halcyon umbra]

I really like the castle and details on it!

[pine wadi]

my attempt at adding a windmill to my farm area 😄

[pure kernel]

do they have broken glass, broken doors etc that you can use?
Would be cool to make a camp thats more shabby

[hard oak]

love this, can I show to my building freends?

[pine wadi]

thank youu! ya go for it ^-^

[sudden arch]

Some pictures of my little but growing town and my new tavern 🙂

[nova oriole]

My naval castle

The interior features vaulted siege supply rooms, death corridors garrison bunks garrison posts, great hall banquet, stocked kitchen with vaulted storage, noble quarters, lords quarters, chaple, reading room tower with great view

[hollow nymph]

How did you do the vines and foliage 😭

[sudden arch]

i think thats a tree ^^

[stray nacelle]

thhis is beautiful

[pine wadi]

thank you!! 🙂

[stray nacelle]

I will take something with that much flavor and character over big ostentatious builds any day

[pine wadi]

my whole build is a little like.. bonkers haha but the garden side is more calm i love all the plants

[stray nacelle]

awesome. so far my builds have tended to all look too pristine, if still lived in. I need to do more of this kinda thing

would love to see pics of the bonkersness

[pine wadi]

this is most of the garden, hard to get it all in a ss xD

[cosmic aurora]

That windmill is sick!

[pine wadi]

thank you 😄

this was the first part of my build, 'the commons' mostly just a place to have all the crafting stations

[stray nacelle]

Nice!

[pine wadi]

storage area, then the bonkers lol

[pure kernel]

does anyone know if any islands have a cave thats big enough to use as a hideout/treasure storage?

[cosmic aurora]

Looks awsome, hopefully i can fill up my island like that.

[cosmic aurora]

Im getter there tho

[pine wadi]

i still have a lot of cluttering left to do haha but mostly trying to get the structures in place then i jump from space to space to work on 🙂

oh i like it! 😄

[cosmic aurora]

Are those spiral stair cases custom or is that a build peace?

[pine wadi]

at the tippy top those are the ones you can buy in tortuga, thats going up to my tavern lol

these ones are beams

[cosmic aurora]

Im still getting my structures down so I havnt worked on the clutter yet.

[stray nacelle]

bonkers indeed - I love it

[cosmic aurora]

They look lovely bet they where a pain tho.

[pine wadi]

thanks! 🙂 and ya i just kinda goin with the flow haha

[pine wadi]

they wereee but it was the only way i could connect that space i tried everything haha

[cosmic aurora]

I was very lucky with mine, the main house and my starter house just ended up aligning perfectly for some reason lol.

[pine wadi]

love that haha mine was just all the vertical space to connect it without having temple stairs everywhere xD

[stray nacelle]

beam staircases - I've made so many in Valheim...

[pine wadi]

lol sometimes beam'n is the only way eh!

[cosmic aurora]

Oh do you have any pictures of your valheim builds?

[eager stream]

Where do you get the chains blueprints?

[stray nacelle]

I think it comes witht he chandelier set

[cosmic aurora]

It does, I have them!

Beams are a godsend in this game.

[eager stream]

Where did you get those? i might be missing something, ive completed all the islands

[stray nacelle]

I wish they connected to more things (like more of the lamps, other objects, etc)

[pine wadi]

i never played valheim, enshrouded and this are the only buildng games ive had before

[stray nacelle]

oh - wow - I suspect you would love valheim as well then

[silent heron]

This is what i wanna accomplish.

@pine wadi any tips?

[pine wadi]

i wanted to try it since this game like screamed at me to haha its been mostly fun! some places in the build have definately been a struggle though, lots of tear down and try again places xD

[cosmic aurora]

Oh sorry, I misread, my vision isnt very good and I though I saw valheim in your text and immediately started typing lol.

If you ever get the chance you should play it, its very similar to windrose.

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I rarely start wityh more than a general sense of what I want, and maybe one specfic thing that the build is pinned to.

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I think of windrose as the love child of valheim and black flag

[eager stream]

This is the only one i havent bought, and i can't find any islands i havent finished

[pine wadi]

this looks good! i think i'd just say dont be afraid to play with other textures, if you're goin for shanty, oopsies are actually welcome, there's a lot of spots in my build to make it work stuff is clipping weird etc, but that just adds the flavour im lookin for anyway haha

i'll probalby check it out! i just hadnt ever heard of it honestly till recently lol

[stray nacelle]

yep - lots of clipping, lots of texture variations. no big blank flat surfaces

[pine wadi]

OH also one of the things that ive tried to break up as many straight lines as i can, that helps a lot too

[cosmic aurora]

Thayts a good start, since your support makes up a big part of the visuals make sure you add extra detailing to them.

You could have each section be different function types like one house for cooking, crafting, library, beding ect.

[past mirage]

Looks satisfyingly organic

[pine wadi]

thank you! thats what i was aimin for xD

[silent heron]

oh i see. Yeah I want to make a cliffside shanty shack town that hangs and looks like its build upon itself

without suffocating the rock

[pine wadi]

some parts of my build i think this is maybe too weird, like my stairs going into the tavern, they're fancy but honestly was the only thing i could figure out to make the vertical distance filled, and in the end im like well i'm a pirate, i stole this staircase from a manor and put it outside my tavern lmao and stuff like that imo anyway makes it more fun

its fun to run around on too haha

[stray nacelle]

my current actual game home. the office is still a work in progress

[pine wadi]

its cozy i love the clutter !!

[cosmic aurora]

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CARPET I NEEEEEEED IT LOL

[stray nacelle]

I think some of the carpets are in a purchasable set - or else got em from some poi

[pine wadi]

one of the farms in the swamps i think

[stray nacelle]

I'm still missing the second book set and a few others that I need.

[cosmic aurora]

I havnt gotten to the swamps yet so thats why I haven't found it yet lol.

[pine wadi]

oooh what the

i thougth that's where i got them lol unless they can drop in different spots like weapons? idk lol

[stray nacelle]

at least I think there is a second book set, based on online database sitres

[stray nacelle]

no - I think that's right

[pine wadi]

oop i got the names confused of typers lol multi tasking badly 🙂

[humble thistle]

sir, I don't know why, but at first glance i tought that was Duloc castle.

I love it! 😄

[pine wadi]

the tiles can make a nice fake carpet meanwhile, just gotta cover the underside cuase they look a bit odd lol

[nova horizon]

@fervent mist My AI generated london project started 😄

[rain mantle]

Just take your Ship, loot other Ships, Sell the Items and than change Piaster to Guinea you get one Guinea for 50 Piaster

[hollow nacelle]

One tower and two walls done

[stray nacelle]

these are spectacular.

[pine wadi]

thank you! 🙂

[sweet bluff]

Stash House & Small Market

[hazy oyster]

always feels good when you deforrest some part lol... XD

[stray nacelle]

meanwhile my stuff often comes out looking weirdly modern. like this feels like a modern alpine chalet

[pine wadi]

i lvoe the shape !

looks midievil to me with the overhangs 😄

[stray nacelle]

originally it didn;t have the roof angle change and was just straight 64 degrees, which did give it a more medieval vibs (and another usable floor). Weirdly it looks more spacious to me in the current form even though it actually has less space...

it'll be fun to do up the interior - I've had to hold back from it to work on the other buildings or I'd get sucked in to decorating just the one building for days

at some point I will also play with modernist and brutalist builds, just for fun. I did some fun modernist stuff in valheim and dune awakening is all about brutalist builds

this house is built on a copper mine entrance that might get turned into a wine cellar and maybe some sort of secret treasure stash

the game needs placeable cheeses so I can make a cheese aging cave out of it...

[pine wadi]

i love the steep roofs! hard to use them in smaller spaces and still be able to walk into the door haha but i've used them where i can fit them too, my alchemist hut has em ! both shapes look good on that though 😄

[stray nacelle]

mostly I want more non-kirtchen, non-book/scroll placeables for decorating

[pine wadi]

this roof was the first time i could use em really xD

[pine wadi]

yess! we need like small bottles and stuff for shelves, and ladders please devs xD

[stray nacelle]

looks great. that houise is my first time using them as well and I like them a lot

[stray nacelle]

placeable booze bottles, individual food items, placeable tools and weapons, maybe armor stands... hopefully they will keep adding items as the game matures.

[pine wadi]

yesss! i hope haha, those tables that look like barstools, but arnt actually something you can sit on, or clip a stool into to sit on, are a crime xD

[stray nacelle]

books, scrolls and cups do a lot of heavy lifting for me on the decoration front right now

[pine wadi]

we're pirates we need full tavern decor lol

[stray nacelle]

arr indeed

[pine wadi]

yaa same, and barrels, barrels and crates everywhere

[stray nacelle]

I love how many forms there are for functional storage - I can avoid the otherwise inevitable wall-o-chests needed in most survival-crafting games

[pine wadi]

those new garden beds are a new favourite for addign greenery where i can too since theyre more easily placed than the og ones and they fill alotta gaps

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I had to doa ton of hand placement and clipping to make the flower beds in front of my main house since that stuff wasn;t in yet

[pine wadi]

ya the storage options are one of my favourite things they did i love it

lol i tried, i got 1 flax flower poppin out under my storage xD rest wouldnt work

[stray nacelle]

yep - I have a system I use internally that lets me place them looking all haphazardly but is actually pretty well organized, though my supplies are starting to overflow my capacity in that house

I might end up turning the newer one into my main residence - we'll see

[pine wadi]

one thing i hope they fix too is some of the rock cliff faces have super weird hitboxes, they wont let me fill the beds on my vertical garden >.< and i have random pillars and flooring stuck all over my island lmao

[stray nacelle]

hahah - yeah - there are defo some weird item hitboxes as well that cause unexpected issues with placement (and removal)

[pine wadi]

top left box only 1 plant would go in, and the top right the peas would only go in backwards lol

[stray nacelle]

lol - weird

I love the whole garden setup. It's giving me ideas for an apothecary type build

[pine wadi]

thanks 😄 i wanted to come up with something to fill in some of that space cause it was all rock from there to behind my storages and i wanted to add some green lol

[cursive fractal]

where do the tall stools come from?

[pine wadi]

one of the packs in tortuga i cant remember the name let me go look, but they're tables you cant sit on em sadly

[cursive fractal]

ohh, its the side tables?

[ancient horizon]

Did some more work on our vertical pirate hideout! Sorry for the shaky filming.

[pine wadi]

im pretty sure it was the mahogany tables one from people of tortuga, but i could be wrong i bought all the packs at a similar time >.< but im like 99% sure its that

[stray nacelle]

that sounds right

and yeah, I beelined for buying all the packs as quickly as possible. I think there are still a few poi packs I haven't picked up yet

[pine wadi]

ya building stuff was what i bought before ships haha

[stray nacelle]

my current house started out made of wicker and leaves and gotr overhauls every time I picke dup new parts

[pine wadi]

this looks so good!

[stray nacelle]

this is great

[ancient horizon]

Thanks, I see you have some great builds yourself! Definitely something I'll take inspiration from!

[pine wadi]

lol my first vertical test is still up and ya is all leafy xD

shared inspiration for me too! more ideas to fill all the balconies breakin up the stairs haha

[plush swift]

thoughts on my crane?

[ancient horizon]

I browsed through the pics you've posted. I can't even freaking compare😂

It's trial and error tho! It's fun to explore one's creativity and problem solving to try to make something cool

[stray nacelle]

this game definitely lends itself to intensive decoration more readily than valheim - it's up there with conan exiles for that.

I need to do a vertical build as well, and something overgrown and jungly. so much to build.

[pine wadi]

lol my main goal was make it fun to run around on xD fueled by adhd and insomnia :>

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I know people who map out their build plans to every detail before they start. I go in with a general concept and maybe 1 or two specific things I want to do and the rest is just iteration til I like what I have

[ancient horizon]

Same here! No plans, just building as I go

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I have been getting a lot less sleep since getting this game

[ancient horizon]

I mean the fuel of ADHD and insomnia definitely paid off😂 I can relate on both tbh

[pine wadi]

this was my first test usin beginner mats xD tis still alive over here in a corner

[stray nacelle]

If only I could focus on work (which I should be doing now) as well as I can on building...

[ancient horizon]

The building in the game is really well implemented tho! It makes it so much more fun to build when the UI is neat and it's user friendly

[pine wadi]

haha ty! 🙂

[stray nacelle]

I have a vertical spot picked out for a build - I was going to do something grand and byzantine but now I think I need to go ramshackle shantytown

[plush swift]

@pine wadi any tips and tricks for building?

[ancient horizon]

If it werent for the fact that you have to actually progress the story to get more building plans and options I'd probably still be level one😂

[stray nacelle]

yep, and while there are some issues, I have not run into conan style hell where we joke about roof snapping being the game's final boss

[pine wadi]

mmm if you're goin for shanty vibe my best advice is no straight lines where possible, and mix together textures, try to see things as what they can be and not just where they are, and also lots of little nooks for overflow of clutter to make it feel lived in, i still have a lot lot lot of cluttering to do haha

[stray nacelle]

(and I say this as a lover of building in conan exiles)

[pine wadi]

any messup isnt necessarily a messup at least in this style, people who build like really pretty things is not somethign i can do, for me if i have a beam not snapping in right im like welp there's some more character haha

[ancient horizon]

Feel as if that fits the theme of the game tho

[stray nacelle]

even for non shantytown that is important. I don't think my house has a single 2 meter flat empty vertical space apart from maybe over a door or two

[pine wadi]

ya i just mean like my friend im playin with likes more clean lines on his build, he enjoys what i've done but when he builds its like all the nice stuff, and a misplaced floorboard etc stands out in the not great way but if you're doin messy then its helpful xD

[pine wadi]

same! collecting those is the only things that could pull me away from the build xD

[stray nacelle]

"I'm gonna go do Pirate Things.. right after I adjust this one thing in my build..."
4 hours later: oh yeah - pirate things, right...

[pine wadi]

i do really love all the parts of this game though the combat is fun and i love the boat stuff, but building is ❤️

literally haha

[stray nacelle]

followed by "when did it become 4 am?"

[ancient horizon]

It's a good mix. But building is definitely the most fun part!

We're also doing everything legit so it takes a bit extra time, but I feel as if the game is very nicely balanced for building as well

Like you don't have to spend hours on end on gathering to actually be able to build something of a bit of size

[pine wadi]

ya same i only recently even got the vendor to help with wood lol

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I like that most of the building and decorating is not gated behind materials that are a pain to get

and yeah - I am mass-p[urchasing from vendors now to get basic supplies for building

[pine wadi]

iron is the thing still pullin me out of build mode a lot too, i need all the candlesticks! xD

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I had like 3 stacks of iron in stock when I got the iron kitrchen and lighting sets... and then I had none...

but I have a couple iron mines set up that are easy to get through, so as long as I hit them semi-regularly it's not a huge problem

[pine wadi]

LOL ya right when you unlock it is instant gone xD

[stray nacelle]

I love the storm lamps so much - they look amazing, put out the right amount of light, and can be placed almost aanywhere as both accents and to adjust the actual practical lighting

[pine wadi]

yaa the lighting in this game is beautiful

[nova silo]

Nice how can i play the map sorry im new to this game

[nova horizon]

u mean how u can play my map ?

[stray nacelle]

I feel like I need to put my current village project (that I spent all weekend on) on hold to do something more ramshackle now

I think I have a couple spots picked out for good vertical builds

[ivory fiber]

Can we get a 45°triangle for floors large and small.

[pine wadi]

do ittt!!

[worldly lintel]

Not done yet but getting closer and closer 😄

[novel scaffold]

work in progress, spanish villa

[novel scaffold]

nice idea for bridges

[grizzled finch]

Hello! This is my "little" base; the goal is to build a large Victorian-style castle at the very top of the mountain (I don't have a screenshot of the mountain before I built it 🙁 ). Everything was done in survival mode on normal difficulty and without mods! 🙂

[nova silo]

Yeah

[stray nacelle]

I particularly love the little floor paneling rosettes embedded in the floors in a couple spots

[pine wadi]

holy moley that looks so cool! full big brain i could never lmao

[nova horizon]

only way is if i share it 😄

[worldly lintel]

Over 60k stone 50+ layers and 33 hours later 😅

[pine wadi]

omg D: lol

[stray nacelle]

damn

[abstract badger]

60k stone.... what

[nova silo]

Ah i got it 😆

[abstract badger]

one container full of stone is 1120 stones. this skull should be as big as island to be so much stone

[idle timber]

wish i could get ya on our Builders server. Its paid for next year and a half! Trying to gather the best builders i can find and we make a server truly Insane.

[nova horizon]

Maybe one day il share it once im done building other towns 😄

[worn hollow]

Mega build , 150 hours in, city called Puerto de la Media Luna.
Great job devs on the ability for vertical building but PLEASE give us more roof options

View from the other side as well

[stray nacelle]

yes we definitely need haybales to place strategically under all high places

[ruby tree]

@grizzled finch @worn hollow
Sick builds, both of you! The cities people are posting are incredible
Just wanted to tag you to let you know you can hide the UI with the /? button beside right-shift.
And if you ever want to hide the character, just place a temporary wall or something, and press you character into it. The camera will collide with the wall and hide the character. Get yous some clean shots 😉

[worldly lintel]

Yep, the skull that i posted. the stability is the main issue

[abstract badger]

use pillars for support and foundations inside the structure (pier, stone)

[worldly lintel]

done that too 😄

[graceful hatch]

Building my second homebase now 😄

[worldly lintel]

hey fellow skull builder 😄

[abstract badger]

this one like on my screenshot?

[worldly lintel]

looks like it but have those build in on the inner sides

[fallow cradle]

🙂

[solar plinth]

My fps have gone from 80 (capped at that) to 40 ever since building.

Is it mainly the lights or is it just in general the amount of blocks and props?

My base is quite large

[nova oriole]

probably lights

you can turn down effects in settings that might help and you wont notice the difference, i didnt anyways

[solar plinth]

I did fiddle around the settings and felt like nothing affected the FPS tough. Dropped from high to medium etc

Ill try again tmrw.

[fallow cradle]

sehr schön 👍

[lost sun]

Those pics go so unfathomably hard

Make.more

[random anvil]

Really cool enclosed pool area that might be a great spot for a base if anyone is interested

[hidden light]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-look-sip-drink-bus-ride-gif-16201174

Will do 🏴‍☠️

[lost sun]

[dark badge]

finally a pet for the house 😄

[random anvil]

lol

We definitly need a parrot

[dark badge]

we do!

this lil one just jumped up and stayed

[simple lagoon]

Dunno if anyone else has discovered this or shared it yet, but you can place a Storage Bale or Storage Crate inside of an Elegant End Table for very discrete storage that is still fully functional

there's hardly any visible clipping either - the storage bale has couple dots, easily hidden by placing anything on top of the End Table, whilst the top of the storage crate is kinda useful for a larger cutting/serving board

[south scaffold]

Bird's eye view. Almost there. Just need to finish the perimeter, build the pier, and finally start filling the inside.

[astral bolt]

finally finished my pirate cove love how it come out

[silent heron]

Mod?

[random anvil]

Those are chandelier chains with decorative swords on them

[pure kernel]

Decided that im tearing down my base tomorrow and start fresh here.

Instantly fell i love with this cove layout, the posibilities and the overall feeling.

Any inputs?

[daring wyvern]

Hi, can I build painted walls (like on Tortuga) and if so, which blueprints should I look for?

[languid tide]

my buried bonfire comfy jungle hut.

[south scaffold]

As far as we know, it's not possible yet

[pure kernel]

Blueish walls made of clay

But you cant change color as far as i know..

[daring wyvern]

Oh man thats some Dubai layout...lucky

[stray nacelle]

some dform of that island shape appears on prertty much every map

[astral bolt]

everyone loves that island built there myself

[south scaffold]

Everyone has one, it's just in a different place

[daring wyvern]

The closest I could see

[vast hatch]

Some of these bases are mind blowing, are they vanilla or are these insane builds only possible with mods?

[pure kernel]

Started on a hillside pillar base.

the bad part is that you cant place trees because of the lack of earth/dirt and lose some immersion...

Trying to do a move and plan ahead this time 😅🥴

[south scaffold]

There are enough basic recipes, but then everything is limited only by your imagination.)

[icy atlas]

ppl use free build lol

[daring wyvern]

If you can't plant a tree, then you can build it 😅

[icy atlas]

someone should make a city lol

[astral bolt]

well get to it

lol

[runic sigil]

Is there a channel for suggestions and improvement requests?

[shrewd oriole]

not this one. stop spamming

finally got some npcs to chill in the tavern

[hollow cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/bendy-and-the-ink-machine-bendy-dark-revival-shadow-spooky-gif-8064398355912997142

Same lighting

[calm thicket]

Also building a base here, within the interior. Right around where you marked for Shipbuilder. I plan to expand along the inner perimeter. I've found it's one of the few places enemy ships wont path into, obviously. I started a base in a smaller cove and was constantly getting bombarded while trying to build 😭

[pure kernel]

Cant wait to start!

It ticks so many boxes for me on how i want the cove and layout overall to be.

[calm thicket]

Yeah, it's a great island and popular for player bases. I like the little map you laid out for your ideas.

[lone spire]

Our pool with hot tub, house and our little storage shed

[pure kernel]

My brain is stupid so i need plans if im doing something if not the whole project rails off track after 4 minutes

[hot crystal]

I am attempting to build here but running into spawn issues with boars and dodos. How best to block them?

Also interesting to see the island shapes the same. I thought everyone's map was different either slightly or massively.

[pure kernel]

Havent thought that far yet 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

[south scaffold]

Try feeding the outline of the island to Ai, I got some cool options before I started building.

[hot crystal]

I've had some luck building directly overtop of the sweet potato stuff but they still are showing back up.

Just further to the west

I guess it's free food once a day

[calm thicket]

You could place more bonfires

[pure kernel]

Not able to dig it away?

[south scaffold]

one of the options

[pure kernel]

I also think, as snidget says if you place bonfires you stop it from respawning

[wintry badger]

They should not spawn inside the bonfire radius. Outside that, fence/wall

[hot crystal]

I haven't tried that! Will do later

The bonfire is literally on them

[wintry badger]

Going to need a lot of bonfires or one modded mega one...

[pure kernel]

My island is waaaaaaaay too big to use the entire thing

[south scaffold]

Make markings.)

[pure kernel]

Im consentrating on the middle for civilian and hillside for defence

[south scaffold]

Oh yeah, that's a real problem, I'm dragging one fire from one point of the island to another to fill everything with lighting elements.

[pure kernel]

I bet you can fit 3-4 frigates in the lower main port

[wintry badger]

Question is, when you stand in the middle and summon the boat, where does it go?

[pure kernel]

Answer: Yes 😂

[wintry badger]

Also, given the layout of the port, its natural wave breaker, the majority of time. Only 1 wind direction can reach the port?

[daring wyvern]

Tbh that gulf above your planned guildhouse looks like it was born to be a shipyard

[wintry badger]

Depends on turning space. Hard to get scale and depth, from the map overview

[pure kernel]

True

But there is a narrow space aprox in the middle above main and its super shallow and rocky

Thats why i didnt draw in ports there also

[daring wyvern]

You mean northeast?

If a ketch can pass through you can build that area as a decoration

If you want it to be functional, well its a different question

[pure kernel]

A ketch might, brig and frig wont

[wintry badger]

For a layout, like that, you might want 2 lighthouses. So there is a reference regardless of where you come from

[pure kernel]

Good idea with the ketch tho. Because thats what i use it for now. Just decor

[whole coral]

where this at on map

[pure kernel]

Different for everyone i think. Mine is all the way east on my map.

[south scaffold]

Still no rest for the wicked. The walls are done, the bastions are up. Now I need a pier and an entire city inside.

[karmic parcel]

This is the island I'm planning to move my base to, given the docks at my current (first) base are too shallow for my new brig. I've built a set of docks there already, a workshop and a temporary house, so I just need to expand it to the full base I'd been planning. I'll miss my first base though; it's cozy.

[whole coral]

where at on map

[bright birch]

Do you think they will just make the bonfire have an upgrade for range like every other station?

[daring wyvern]

I started building that small port before I found out there are bigger ships in the game...lol

[karmic parcel]

My map is unlikely to be the same as yours.

[pure kernel]

Good luck maneuvering the frigate in there 😅🫡

[wintry badger]

If you want to be period accurate, the walls should be made with cannons in mind, not soldiers. Thats more inner area fighting, then outer, given the main outside attack will be ships using there cannons

[daring wyvern]

It is already left for the nature😂

[bright birch]

I’ll get it in there you just might not get it back out

[leaden ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/giggity-y-gif-13409538

[daring wyvern]

Has anyone done any geo measurements on how wide the campfire circle is, in units?

[pure kernel]

I hope!

Or that you can use, lets say 5 and if they overlap eachother they also connect inventories in between then and work as 1

[bright birch]

I want to finish my town

[nova oriole]

anyone else made any cranes?

[daring wyvern]

Oh man great job this is what I want to build in the future

[nova oriole]

thanks dude

[pure kernel]

100% stealing this tomorrow 😂😍

[daring wyvern]

Sick Liebherr

[calm thicket]

The docks, crafting area of my base so far.

[wintry badger]

That looks leaver operated, which is about 100 years too early. The game is set before industrial revolution, meaning cranes would be operated by manpower, horse or ox.

[south scaffold]

Yeah, I could have gone full Vauban with escarps and open batteries... but my soul wanted crenellated walls. The towers on top are already armed with cannons, though. Not aiming for historical accuracy - just needed something to do on my weekend off.

[daring wyvern]

If you have any good references...I tried to google but the results for the "18th century cranes" are short

[nova oriole]

its operated via chain winch and counterweight

[nova oriole]

i was looking at cranes from the 1700s

[daring wyvern]

This has drawn my attention in particular

[bright birch]

They’re repost but they went so far up I can’t find them

[daring wyvern]

Nice
Looks modern

[bright birch]

I did a lot of updating since these photos

[short pollen]

Dropped down Crop beds, dropped down fence, added light after full grown. Perfect for path/walkway light and some greens.

[nova oriole]

treadwheel crane

men would walk in the wheels to hoist stuff up

[silent bridge]

My god I just spent 4 hours grinding for a stupid meme BUT

[bright birch]

some of the updates to the house

[silent bridge]

The Retribution is ready to sail

[daring wyvern]

Yeah that's it

[vocal knoll]

My boyfriend's villa

[bright birch]

i give you the Ostium Mortis at port

[whole coral]

how dafuq i find dis island

[tribal belfry]

so far i dont have any island like that in mine. Noone has the same islands and map, but you will see certain shapes that are very similar

[graceful warren]

WIP

[nova oriole]

circumnavigate the whole map

[stray nacelle]

start sailing 🙂

[daring wyvern]

Nice...but does he know you ate all the blueberries from his garden?

[short pollen]

nothing fancy. but def enjoying the building still lol

[idle timber]

no mods at all on our server. Just alot of moving over deleting moving over deleting.

[vocal knoll]

i just do what i want typically

[vocal knoll]

there are MODS?????

[idle timber]

o yes there are

[pure kernel]

We really need a "freelook" ability while building

[daring wyvern]

If there are more blueberries, would you please share coordinates😅

[vocal knoll]

direct me plzzzz

[daring wyvern]

Word

[idle timber]

mod for that

[idle timber]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/windrose

[plush goblet]

Either you explore, or you wait for the blackbeard treasure map to lead you there. ezpz

[pure kernel]

Mine was treasure 9. so thats how i found it

[storm dew]

@tribal belfry this isn't true all islands are the same shape just in different spots on the map.

[daring wyvern]

They also have to be found by the means of sailing

[vocal knoll]

No decor. boo

[tribal belfry]

No they aren't, you can scroll up to two people posting the "same island" and yet the outline of either island aren't the same.

[idle timber]

not yet but there is like expand bonefire / expand build limits / no crop restrictions

[tribal belfry]

This isn't the first time I've proved this debate wrong

[nova oriole]

are there mods for a man o war?

[daring wyvern]

The outline isn't, but the pattern is pretty much similar

[idle timber]

so hes correct but wrong same time. so there is 2/3 outlines of each island that they did and they random between them in the map generation the only other thing we notice is locations of the islands change

[tribal belfry]

so its not the same island

[storm dew]

Same shape

[tribal belfry]

look at the center

notice how they DONT connect

isnt that wild

[idle timber]

again read what i typed above

[tribal belfry]

almost as if they ARENT the SAME

[storm dew]

Gotta love semantics

[tribal belfry]

congruous does not equal congruent

[storm dew]

No worries I'll still build there

[tribal belfry]

👍

[nova nova]

when you figure out how to get the smaller lamp to hang from the chain cuz the other one is just huge

[midnight sluice]

gonna be making a fort at the beach that will lead to this small place and my new place is right next to my Ancient debris site

[daring wyvern]

Nice outfits

[nova nova]

worth the small pain in the butt to "hang" these small lanterns - the round table lamps look good too but they're just too bright for this spot

[daring wyvern]

Love those roofs

[midnight sluice]

which ones?

[daring wyvern]

2nd pic

[midnight sluice]

oh yea my merchant roofs

[silent bridge]

Oh damn never thought of that, they look so much better

[pale stump]

what set are you rocking?

[daring wyvern]

I now want to build a B-2 spirit ingame

For some reason

[midnight sluice]

...

[nova nova]

its the pikemans set but the hat is the filibustier one!

[old cypress]

sorry, its just angle

[nova nova]

i love the little dandelions on the pikeman set

[daring wyvern]

Wow your character looks like you on the avi
