haha someone else told me that, too! :3

[daring wyvern]

What's the weapon on your back?

[wispy tartan]

Hey, which armour is this?

[pale stump]

ohhh nice!!

[wispy tartan]

Conquistador?

[nova nova]

can you break the pillar holding up the log without it falling? - thats how i got my lamps to hang up - once the chains touch it they had a place to stay so i could break the pillars under the lamps so they appear to hang from the chain

[daring wyvern]

Feels like conquistador setup. I have a similar helmet but cant remember the red thing

[midnight sluice]

anyone else like to use the flatten tool like me? carve a path right through a hill to make it flat

[daring wyvern]

Yea I used it after building the basement for my house but I cant say that I enjoyed it

[midnight sluice]

it is painful to use wish we could resize the area marker to be bigger or smaller to make stuff go faster

[daring wyvern]

Tbh being able to carve just square minecraft holes would be a big deal

[daring wyvern]

What's this though? Croco trench?

[midnight sluice]

its the path to my dock

[daring wyvern]

Oh wow

[midnight sluice]

this my place looked like up till yesterday

[glacial nest]

Gonna have to tax the wildlife to keep that going

[midnight sluice]

starting on my dock fort walls and stuff had to flatten the area under the floors a bit

[full dew]

I made a lighthouse with the signal fire! Frigate for scale. I was pleasantly surprised at how tall it would let you go with just wall to ground support. There does appear to be a limit, it being a little more than two bonfire radius' tall.

[plucky flint]

how do you take screenshots in first person or without your character in the screen

[plucky flint]

WIP

[lavish nacelle]

Best island location, indeed!

[full dew]

I removed the UI with the backslash button, and then went into the build menu, used V for changing the view angle and then swapped to destroy mode so it just had the red x icon.

[midnight sluice]

well even i didnt know that feature

[lavish nacelle]

I think making the port a little bendy/curve following the rock formation will looks more natural/immersive, but the house position is best already

[midnight sluice]

waiting for my merchants to come back with more stone

[plucky flint]

ty for the input! Im planning on connecting the pier the house sits on with a large marketplace/village. I also want to fill the backside under the rock arch with a dock potentially

[plucky flint]

looks very blocky rn

[lavish nacelle]

I was thinking along these lines

Does the river water on the left connect to the ocean?

[plucky flint]

unfortunately not

[plucky flint]

i do like the idea of keeping a flowing river in the back, and i was planning to keep water between the house and area im standing, just connect with a bridge and make it less blocky

[zenith dune]

My lighthouse

[mighty elk]

Work in progress, still gotta build quarters but you're seeing storage, blacksmith, kitchen, alchemy room, jeweler, and tailor, plus the dock...with the lighthouse in the background with the Frigate, Brig and Ketch docked

[sick bone]

WIP, building in this game is so satisfying!

[lament beacon]

WIP

[sick bone]

Nice looking pirate retirement home 😄

[lament beacon]

Thanks lol

[winged steppe]

Stage 1 of The Fortress. My thanks to DeLindsay Gaming for his video on Merging Angled Walls and Towers, it was a great help and eased my headaches for how to build it. Love this game.

[lament beacon]

That crane setup is sick

[grave vessel]

im not exactly a man of math but shouldnt this just not happen?

[winged steppe]

Actually just realised I will have to redo the back so it can be unloaded. Lol

[outer briar]

My black smith

[grave vessel]

what yall think? pointy all the way or flat top?

[ruby tree]

Try snapping it to different edges around that spot, one of them might fit it into the right position.
Or build a stack of walls from the ground up to there to assure yourself a proper snap point.

[lament beacon]

I see what you mean lol

[pale stump]

I like flat top

[heady oyster]

WIP, storage is complete though 👌

[desert oracle]

I keep running into dead zones where the flooring won't snap into place (around the edges of my foundation) despite being able to snap into any location around it (including outside the foundation and on different elevations).

[ruby tree]

The floor placement is being obstructed by the stone blocks. Remove the blocks, place the floors, then replace the blocks.

[grave vessel]

thoughts/tips?

[desert oracle]

Well that fixed it, thanks. I'm not sure why it would do that considering this floor began on the same snap point on the other side of the room under the same conditions.

[ruby tree]

Its slightly common in these kind of tileset building games. Sometimes the tiles angle matters, and rotating it can fix it, but not always.

It mostly only happens when the center of the piece you want to place is obstructed. The edges are fine to clip into things

[midnight sluice]

its gettin there

just need lots more wood and stone

and clay

[fluid escarp]

I have a similar island but enemy boats come in and start shooting my ships.

[short pollen]

Having Multiple NPC vendors should really have diff skinned NPCS i know it might not sound like much. but its ruining my market LOL

[midnight sluice]

they should have more voice lines too

[tight fjord]

cozy village

[oak meteor]

Welcome to the colosseum, or at least my interpretation of it 😉

[tacit thistle]

that's fun that you have it around a pirate camp

[oak meteor]

aye, and they still spawn 😄

[dry skiff]

Is there a creative mode or a way to get infinite resources?

[midnight sluice]

no

[dry skiff]

Fastest way to get wood is Ficus and for stone is the foothills outside ore deposits I take it?

[midnight sluice]

yea

[dry skiff]

Thanks

[midnight sluice]

well the framework is pretty much done now i gotta deck it out on the inside

[oak meteor]

fastest way for me is boarding some cargo ships level10+ and then buying wood and stone from the traders for 250$ / 500 units. usualy i do 2.000 piaster per 20-30 minutes, so enough for 4.000 material

using 4+ traders because of 70 minute delivery

[dry skiff]

Nah the traders aren’t worth the silver. I got 1k wood and 1k stone in the time it took them to deliver the 500 wood. The only time I use them is for hardwood, animal fat etc

[haughty elbow]

Well they work when you are offline it seems which makes them very worth it.

[ornate trench]

traders are very worth it lol, silver isn’t hard to get

[vital gazelle]

have you seen my post in here I revealed how the glitch works with chains to have items hang on ?

might aswell ask mods to have the message pinned

to everyone in chat, this is how you "glitch" chains and can hang all decorations and storage items to them @old cypress

[hazy locust]

furnaces inside the wall for better space

[vital gazelle]

you can hang the furnace too to the chains if you want xD

[ornate trench]

what is ur chain obsession

[haughty elbow]

Can a real G have two many chains?

https://giphy.com/gifs/dancing-mr-t-e6bq6Xih5SzZK

[dreamy forge]

⛅

[haughty elbow]

cool towers.

[paper jewel]

Anyone have any examples for building cranes for your docks/dry docks?

[rocky igloo]

Wait, do the furnaces work? Last I tried to integrate them they refused to work til I removed all the intersecting pieces

[exotic sandal]

work in progress but thoughts?

[tribal barn]

This is awesome

[pale stump]

do you mean the pier crane decoration?

[dreamy wyvern]

my lil slice of paradise

[void raven]

Any of you clever types figure out a cool way to make like a ship keel in progress of building so your shallow sections of bases can be filled up, mostly so I stop beaching myself because I made my first base too deep inland

[wraith hamlet]

There is a lot to love here

[paper jewel]

Here's the dry dock Ijust pieced together tonight. No ships in progress but it's relatively accurate to what came up in the Google search for "Age of sail dry dock" images

[void raven]

Oh that's a good start, I guess with the beams you could make a skeleton.

I've been under a real ship in a drydock, and that is very accurate. The chalks are not nearly as thick as you would hope as someone who is weary of several thousand tonnes breaking essentially concrete bags and some wood. Lol

Oh those locals, always up to some crazy stuff

[mortal pivot]

i need 1 million stone

[void raven]

You could always hire folks in lfg to come through and hit all your mines, keeping the copper for themselves and sending you the stone.

Maybe make a quarry like building with a bell for them to drop it off at.

[mortal pivot]

on a solo save?

[void raven]

I assumed you could adjust the settings like valheim so people could join. But I may be wrong.

[mortal pivot]

got the base of the wall around my island i just need tons of stone to build the walls up and highly detail them like the entrance

[void raven]

Looks dope. You could always look for open servers to do loops of stone in their mines so you don't have the cool down. Inventory carries over I think

[mortal pivot]

thanks ill try going to servers and just mine copper caves and drop all the copper

[void raven]

I mean you're a talented builder, making a tiny mining camp in a few of those servers with the copper in some bins could look cooool

[mortal pivot]

love the building in this game be even better if there was even more

closer look for the details in the towers and the bridge

[void raven]

Did you at certain sections put slats in to let the light come through? Top right of your roof looks like that was the trick?

[mortal pivot]

the bridge is made with the pier floor and wooden timber beams nothing else and ye theres gaps at the top to let light through

where do you find servers because i only have access with a code

[void raven]

Oh I figured you did a section of like 4-5 angle slats and then filled in a dozen or so roof before the next slats. Lol

I have no idea. I thought you could join on launch.

[mortal pivot]

oh no haha totally done out of beams only walls are for the plank fence

[mortal pivot]

no servers show unless i enter a invite code

[void raven]

Oh, sorry I figured there would be some open servers but the game might still be too early in it's life to have those.

[mortal pivot]

im gonna try youtube and see if theres any on there

[mortal pivot]

nevermind just realised theres a server promotion in the discord haha

[signal latch]

what should i build in the middle here where the water is?

i need to make a market and a kitchen, unsure how to do it whilst utilising the middle

[raven glacier]

i dont know what youre standing on but you seem like you have space for your kitchen plus a little pub around your pond

[mortal pivot]

build a gazebo over the water and put chairs and tables in the gazebo

[leaden tartan]

build the market along the left side and kitchen on bottom right side and then make like a koi pond or something like that in the middle as a center piece

[signal latch]

yeah i considered that, im trying to make it cosey with putting stuff close together but i need to somehow make the middle more open, i want all the walkways similar to this

thinking about having something elevated on a big balcony over the water

[void raven]

Swim up bar!

[hardy sparrow]

i'd go for an oasis / park / flower combionation...put a market on the open stone foundations 😉
btw, if you build a wall on your pillar, facing your structures, and you press your back against it, you can make a screen in ego perspective 😉

[mortal pivot]

a swim up bar isnt a good idea with stamina system haha

[void raven]

Nah it just rewards efficient draining of tankards.

[mortal pivot]

if water was a building piece itself i would make a big water fountain

[void raven]

You likely could, you just just need to make a stone base just under the surface so you can place one of the fountain designs on it

[mortal pivot]

i mean a big big fountain like 5x the size of the ones we have

[signal latch]

i guess something like this would be nice

[mortal pivot]

ye that was my suggestion

[signal latch]

how would i do the roof for that? i hate doing roofs lol

[void raven]

I haven't unlocked any fountains yet, but I'm sure you could make a repeating design of fountains to make it like a Vegas hotel

[signal latch]

yeah i'll do some builds and post here see what u guys think

[mortal pivot]

use the clay roofs and overlap the peices to make it round

[signal latch]

it's cool you can put light course in the water, makes the plants shine

[raven glacier]

quick walk around of the in island harbor that is pretty much complete....Bonus : semi perfect parking of the boat boat position on the map on the island!

[wild prairie]

ship time

[slim dirge]

big build incoming

[mortal pivot]

big meh

[slim dirge]

wdym

[mortal pivot]

this haha

[slim dirge]

man

this is a brand new world tho

i aint building this huge on a new world lol

[mortal pivot]

ive only been on one world and waited till i got all the building pieces to build a big castle/fortress

hardest part is gathering the million stone i need

[slim dirge]

so real

i had to gather so much stone for all my foundation on my main world aswell

[mortal pivot]

ill see how big your big is when youve built it haha

[mortal pivot]

nice my walls are expensive to build but theres also everything inside the walls to be built haha thwe houses etc

[slim dirge]

yea lol, you gonna decorate the entire castle you made?

[rocky igloo]

This ain't worlds adrift lol. But great effort :D

[mortal pivot]

yes torches and everything but that will come last

[slim dirge]

alr alr i hear you

gonna look sick when you finish trust the process

[mortal pivot]

and when its fully complete im going to do a tour video haha

[slim dirge]

hell yeah

[mortal pivot]

that would be like 20 minutes long haha

[slim dirge]

id watch it

[mortal pivot]

may host a server with the save so people can go and see it in game themselves

[slim dirge]

good idea

[mortal pivot]

but share your build on the rocks when its done or made good progress

[slim dirge]

just gotta make share no griefers join

people can be very annoying

[mortal pivot]

oh no doubt thatll happen ill make backups

[slim dirge]

yea

nice

[sick galleon]

is there anyway to place trees down anywhere else but the basic ground? i want to add a few to my base but it is raised so i dont have ;;ground''..

[mortal pivot]

not at the moment no

[sick galleon]

sad 🙁

[mortal pivot]

other than raising the ground with a shovel

[sick galleon]

i hoped you could put them on soil but cannot 🙁

[hollow oriole]

idk if this was already known or not, personally haven't seen it in any "tips and tricks" type videos. Anyway, you can double up walls on the inside by shifting 15 degrees out and then back. Will eat up a little space but at least you can make your interior walls different.

just realised the first 3 pics are a bad example because for a moment I thought "stone wall" and "stone wall with timber" had different looks with the stone, but I think the plaster and wood still stands

[hearty wasp]

will it float tho

[wild prairie]

She’l try

[ruby tree]

Piano

[hard oak]

We have done a piano too 😊

[ruby tree]

Show us! 🙂

[hard oak]

Is there on the back. I am at work now 🙂

[tender zenith]

Hey thats my house! Get out!

[hard oak]

No it’s not 🙃

Unless u live in an inn

🤣

[tender zenith]

Heeeelp this person is taking pictures of my hhouseeee

https://tenor.com/view/stress-gif-23862641

[hard oak]

Have I not worked on it myself 🤪

[rocky igloo]

Has anyone designed train tracks/trains so far?

Tism check :)

[hard oak]

Yes

But rather have metal items to use and we dont have it so..

[tawdry acorn]

Broski shut da f up, go get ur own builds and pics

[hard oak]

Cool can make a train out of wood, but there is so many things I can’t even find a replacement yet.. like smoke pipes for example. If we could rotate all axis, the cannon could be used but we cannot.

[tender zenith]

Proof 😛🤣

[hard oak]

😏

[eager stream]

Have you tried using the weathered beams for the metal parts?

[tawdry acorn]

#1500231519761858700 message

[tender zenith]

Analizing..... hmm your proof is acceptable now run along now little one

[rocky igloo]

Oh, I didn't try anything
I just wanted to see trains :)

[eager stream]

Just tried something quick, would be cool to make a train somewhere

[tawdry acorn]

if ur soo bored go bother people somewhere else with nonsense instead of claiming other's hard work and build yours

[tender zenith]

Damn that joke really went over your head 🤣🤣

[rocky igloo]

I feel like this is backwards. I'd use the larger beams as sleepers and a thinner part for the rails

[eager stream]

What was the joke?

[tawdry acorn]

Don't see it as a joke but yeah ur nonsense goes over my head

[hard oak]

Yeah.. i think it gives a lot of difference when u have metal being used along with the wooden railing

[eager stream]

I dont remember lol, i just built one

[rocky igloo]

I'm just saying it would be more accurate probs

[tender zenith]

Thats fair humor is subjective 😗

[eager stream]

for sure

[eager stream]

thats not humor tho srry, thats brainfog not trying to be rude

[hard oak]

Is quite annoying that we only got a vertical chain

[tender zenith]

Its all good next time it will be better

[eager stream]

Looking forward to it 😄

[hard oak]

Need some metallic beams.. then train tracks going to look like train tracks.

[ruby tree]

How about like this?

[hard oak]

Is ok, but is all wood

[eager stream]

Yeah, i was thinking about a treasury update with silver bars etc maybe that could work

[eager stream]

If only you somehow could make a gray top on the railings it will be perfect

[hard oak]

I mean is usable. I wouldn’t

[ruby tree]

So maybe like

[tawdry acorn]

Is good design but wooden rails make it less believable, we need metal parts

[eager stream]

Yes, if you just get the sides to be wood it would be perfect

[hard oak]

No shine 😛😛😛😛

[eager stream]

you gotta imagine it

[tawdry acorn]

Need shiny rails indeed :p]

[hard oak]

Is much imagination by already doing so much from scratch

[ruby tree]

ya'll need to let your imaginations do some work lol
Wooden rails exist, theyre just not used for anything life-bearing

[hard oak]

Honestly i want a functional railing / mining cart set to make a track towards the base

[tawdry acorn]

We have lot of imagination dont ya worry bout that 😄

[hard oak]

It makes sense to me have that 😏

[rocky igloo]

I like this a lot

[eager stream]

Doesnt make sense for me, how rich were these pirates tho how could the make full on rails

[hard oak]

Say everyone owning a mansion

[eager stream]

I own a cabin

[hard oak]

At least I can say, I live in a shack

[rocky igloo]

Also btw about wooden rails. They do exist and are most common inside mines I'd say.

[tawdry acorn]

While they have 200m high castle on mountain cliffs with 5 towers and a throne room?

[eager stream]

Yes but its still not made of steel

stone is common

[hard oak]

I want railings because is time accurate

[ruby tree]

we dont need steel structures really. This game is like 16th or 17th century and metal structures would clash with the theme

[hard oak]

Why would railing be made of steel

[tender zenith]

I like trains.... and ships 😆

[tawdry acorn]

metal rails were first used 1730 so not that far of?

[ruby tree]

metal was pretty rare back then to be used for structures, other than nails n stuff

[eager stream]

By pirates tho

[tawdry acorn]

• is a fictional game give us some freedom, dont have to use em if u dont want to :p give me some metal parts and will build a f-16, not that that fits the theme but I like the possibility 😄

[eager stream]

Thats fine, im mostly talking about lore accurate train tracks + they would only be used to short transportation around the islands

[hard oak]

Iron railings started on mid 18th. Steel was only used by 19th.
17th used wooden and this were pushed by horses 😏

So do we get to have horses? 🤪

[tawdry acorn]

Nah soon goat whistle, instead of fighting it can be our personal backpack 😄

[ruby tree]

Yeah I think we can do with just the wooden beams to make tracks for now, theyll look great im sure

[eager stream]

Are you talking about pirates or the general population?

[tribal ruin]

If we’re going by timelines this game would have to be early 18th century considering Blackbeard died in 1718

But this is a game with enchanting and weird plague infested swamps due to some aztecan curse or something, I don’t think pirates using metal for silly little rail roads

Is too far fetched

[eager stream]

exactly

[hard oak]

Thought we covered the mansions and castles.

[eager stream]

We did, but im still talking about primarly pirates

[hard oak]

I don’t see u calling out all pirates here sharing their estates

🤷‍♀️

[eager stream]

Im not calling out anyone im having a discussion about reasonable pirate behavior?

[hard oak]

More like imposing how or what can or not be built

[eager stream]

Why would i care what others build? i like every style of building

Im just saying pirates wouldnt waste minerals on long train tracks

[hard oak]

U should ask that to yourself 😏

[hard oak]

Is called scalling and efficiency

[tawdry acorn]

As game progresses trough time and we go from wood to stone structures, would be nice if also our building materials progress/improve from cheap wood to eventually more scarse and metal parts

[ruby tree]

Ah here we go, the Mahogany Beams make for some good looking rails, but I only have the horizontal ones, Im not sure if there's any angled ones to help fit it up and down terrain

[hexed sluice]

Nice, looks like rusted rails

[ruby tree]

Still wooden, sure. But the shape is good methinks

[eager stream]

I get what you are saying tho, but why would a criminial orginization start making full on train tracks around for scaling

[ruby tree]

Oh yeah eh, rusted rails! Or like made of copper or brass instead of iron and steel

[hard oak]

Ok this one looks believable

[eager stream]

this is really nice

[ruby tree]

Debate settled.

[blazing iron]

well as i understand it piracy in general came to heel around the 1730-1740 timeframe, esp. around the Bahama/Jamaica region. You would be correct in use of cart and horses. Steam didn't become a thing until late 1700s early 1800s at that it was still experimental. I dunno Im not a history nerd and havent looked this stuff up in long time.

[ruby tree]

XD

[hard oak]

I think you’re sub estimating criminal organizations 😁

You can take Italian Mafia as example

[nova horizon]

I need more mats 😄

[eager stream]

The italian mafia used undercover operations for transportation if you are talking about them using trains

[hard oak]

Everything is moved by greed. Do pirates stop?

[hard oak]

No. The context was why scaling

[hexed sluice]

You could totally see rails being used in a mining system for an example, going back all the way to 1600's

[eager stream]

I have to do more research on it, but as i understood most pirates were broke and mostly stole food and weapons etc, not really anything to scale anything with

[wheat pagoda]

Soups up!

[hard oak]

But at the point u building a base, u’re organized and have more mouths to feed, no?

I feel being broke and without crew on the beginning of the game

[blazing iron]

maybe for pushing loads of rock and ore from 1 location to another, it\s all good though, I wouldnt be against the devs implenting iron tracks or rails for the use of whatever cart/buggy system you can come up with hell maybe even make it for ships, Just like when ships are built they have them on tracks and knock out the blocks and the ship slides into the ocean

[eager stream]

Yup, but using trains for that would leave them vulnerable to law

[hard oak]

You have made a whole settlement, at that point u might as well have legalized your criminal records

🤣

[blazing iron]

well the great thing is hunger is only a debuff it is not a death sentence

[ruby tree]

Less train history text. More train track design pics. 😛

[eager stream]

Yeah, works irl too xD

[eager stream]

Idk how pirates did it with legalization.. i would assume it would be hard to get anyone to agree

[wheat pagoda]

only always.

[hard oak]

Money laundering

But i dont see much of empire around besides a fallen Tortuga

[eager stream]

Still need signed documents to legally do it tho

[slow walrus]

anyone know a good substitute to colored walls?

[eager stream]

Yeah i dont think so either, i think most of them were sloppy tbh

[blazing iron]

you dont get painted walls in early access yet.

[nova horizon]

Indeed. 🙂

[slow walrus]

if only they added it, they have painted walls on the houses at tortuga

[blazing iron]

if it helps i find limestone more "appealing" than plaster, reminds me of a lot of the old buildings in jerusalem

[hard oak]

U gotta really just use the different things we have available until we get more options.

Or until someone do mods

[eager stream]

Anyone has a loading dock design? im really in need of something

[zealous stag]

The underside of marble/wood floors is bland. We need old timey stamped copper ceilings. >.>

[keen sentinel]

First 6 days

[ruby tree]

Now with a minecart

[eager stream]

Damn, you are quick

looks so good

[ruby tree]

haha ty!! Just prototyping some ideas to inspire all the builders here

[ruby tree]

Add a loading dock crane somewhere, with the ship wharf nearby

[slow walrus]

buying materials from merchants takes so long. i hope they can reduce the amount of wait time

[eager stream]

there is a mod for it

[rocky igloo]

I really like that. Tho I'll personally go for a more narrow gauge design probably. :3

Plan of mine is/was to use rails on a pier on the harbor suggesting there be rail based methods to transporting goods towards ships

[eager stream]

Yeah, i wanted to make a all in one storage and loading dock/ship wharf

[tawdry acorn]

I case we really want metal rails:

[ruby tree]

oh yeah you can for sure change up the track size for whatever suits the build 🙂

[zealous stag]

That is a hilarious amount of anvils.

[ruby tree]

Oh the anvils!! lol of course!

expezzy to build that though! haha

[rocky igloo]

Is that sunken in stone fences?

[tawdry acorn]

Rip ur metal supply but possible

[tawdry acorn]

Stone foundation acting like loose stones

[rocky igloo]

Oh. Anvils. Ouchy

[rocky igloo]

We need terrain painting tools clearly :D

[minor summit]

we need a terrain smoothing seperate from flatten

[rocky igloo]

-# also the shovel NEEDS a smoothing option and a reset function to fix terrain again...

[tawdry acorn]

need free rotate of object along x y and z axis

[minor summit]

too hard to make sloped land

[rocky igloo]

Real. My wife basically ruined our whole beach in desperate attempts to fix the transition. A great place for a staircase now ig.

[tawdry acorn]

When ur beach becomes a WW1 battlefield :p

[minor summit]

same bruh i basically destroyed my beach just trying to make it a little more shallow

[rocky igloo]

Fun fact, monsters spawn on land however they want. My drowned now spawn in still drowning

They do NOT know how to move in water lol

[ruby tree]

So Clay Walls might actually be the best train track rail for now if you're going for elevation changes, because they have the angled walls:

A bit janky, but thats ok

[rocky igloo]

How does proper plaster look?

[ruby tree]

good but thicc

[eager stream]

I kinda like that aproach, looks like nails aswell

[rocky igloo]

You'd not want nails in these places lmao, but I understand what you mean

Katunk Katunk Klackalackalacka

[eager stream]

Oh yeah nvm, the nails are on the side

[ruby tree]

Plaster tracks

[eager stream]

xD

[rocky igloo]

Thicc

[lone folio]

try mahogany, it has this cool indent in the middle

[ruby tree]

ok

1 sec

[lone folio]

tf that was fast lmao

[ruby tree]

lol I was already doign it XD

[lone folio]

great minds think alike

[worn hollow]

9 more buildings to go, @ruby tree that's for the suggestion with the wall behind me for a first person shot

[rocky igloo]

You win

Btw, how are you meant to use this shingled wall arch piece? It perplexes me

[ruby tree]

Ahh thats sick dude!!! the two towers thing is awesome, and the town between makes the trip between them interesting.
Great shot!

[tawdry acorn]

Thats a great build! keep going!

[worn hollow]

Thank you! There are still buildings for the other part of the cove, but its coming together nicely, I will be making a youtube video of it as well because the alleyways and all really can't be captured from this angle

[hard oak]

We need so many things i lost the count

[tame fiber]

The little tavern I built:

[hard oak]

We are so dumb

The metal we need is on the large platform side

[ruby tree]

the studded track?

[eager stream]

pier?

[hard oak]

Yeah that would probably look perfect

[ruby tree]

that was one of my first tracks I made but I undid it last week lol

ill rebuild a piece, one min

[hard oak]

It would need to be just that bit..

[ruby tree]

This would be ok too yeah

It looks good for where we might want the tracks integrated into the floors

[hard oak]

wasnt that metal

[ruby tree]

eh nope

[hard oak]

Is that overlapping or?

I swear it look metal on my game 🤣

[ruby tree]

Yeah Theyre half overlapped

[hard oak]

Yeah probably better it u dont overlap them

So u can place those parallel beams under

[ruby tree]

Are there angled Mahogany beams?

[hard oak]

This can work nicely in the mine itself because is narrow so u can hide the excess u dont need

[hard oak]

Yes

[ruby tree]

Like the nice thin ones?

[hard oak]

They have same name, if the thickness is the same im not 100% sure

[south cliff]

how did you turn hud off ?

[ruby tree]

/ ? button, beside right-shift

and press your characters back against a (temporary) wall to put it in 1st person view

Ghost Mode: Enabled

[eager stream]

the first person mod now also has a toggle option to switch between camera modes

[empty shard]

work in proress

[south cliff]

thank you omg so simple 🤦‍♂️

i was putting my back against wall before but with out inv looks way better ty

this compared to that 😍 😏

[quartz totem]

finally it takes shape

[ruby tree]

Ohhh this... thing!! We can use it as a cart wheel

[south cliff]

first full room ive done

[ruby tree]

yeah the screenshot looks better eh

[hard oak]

Can i see that staircase from the front?

[south cliff]

i love how you can build clean into the rocks ect 😍

[eager stream]

Is that the brick roof?

Btw quick tip for making easy snapping points for anyone curios

[quartz totem]

there you go

[south cliff]

tiles

[eager stream]

Yeah tiles sorry, that looks so clean

Made my Custom Bookshelf, what do you guys think?

another one more simple

[proper cedar]

yeah, didnt finish that quest on this char yet because my friend isnt ready yet

[pure kernel]

im starting on my new main base now.

When you guys start a build, what do you build first and why?

[rocky igloo]

Bonfire and camp for respawning :p

[hard oak]

Layout

[pure kernel]

would you start with the docks or the city/towns layout first?

because i feel like the docks needs to be perfectly places and that the city center follows those lines

[proper cedar]

i usually start with foundation and layout of buildings

[hard oak]

Layout. I didn’t brought the stone yet so just added things using platforms.

It gives u notion of usage of space

🤷‍♀️ it doesn’t really matter how u do it

[pure kernel]

smart

[sacred mortar]

So about first time for me to be creative in regards to upgrading myself out of the plaster and getting my first base out of finely shaped boxes.. But amongst the first little techies I walked myself into comes to building second floor and it's wall material.. Should I stick to the plankish look on the left for that worn look, or use that mossy fresh log on the right side?

[pure kernel]

my new home

[pure kernel]

mossy looks nice! Gives it more character i think

[sacred mortar]

Thought i'd try something different so thanks Also loving the shape of the isle, good luck with figuring the location for your pier.

[pure kernel]

thanks!

[keen sentinel]

how do you make this clear pics?

[valid trellis]

/

[sacred mortar]

I don't know what others use, but I've gone with using what I usually do.. Most if not all of my settings are on Epic, and I use Win+Shift+S to clip the view I want to give.

[keen sentinel]

copy that

i got it

[zealous stag]

On US keyboards the / key hides the UI, so you don't see the hotbar and hunger anymore.
But I dunno how to do it on international boards.

I usually just use Print Screen for my shots, instead of win+shift+s, but that just grabs the whole screen.

If you have Steam, and have it enabled in steam, F12 would save a copy of the screenshot.... somewhere in Steam.

[keen sentinel]

jaa habs schon

[sacred mortar]

in response, you can also do alt+Print screen (Helps you to take up just the game screen, not all of them if you're running multi-screen setups)

dident they add this? 😄 for us non US keyboard users, iv not tested myself as iv had issues since 30th with my pc 😢
so iv not had time to game yet since.
Or am i mistaking hud toggle for hide ui?

but yeah alt+prnt screen for multi monitor users (to only capture current screen) and you can paste/ctrl-V into discord

[frail latch]

This is where I am building my city base as well. I put bonfires on either side of the mouth of the bay and am working on lighthouses/lookout towers there.
I am making a shantytown along a set of rickety docks and up along the cliffs on the southern inner side.

[sacred mortar]

Under menus section in the choice of keyboard/mouse but wasn't quite biased to try until I have something neater to show.

[stiff night]

yeah that button for me in on a weird "multi kind of key" so i could never hide mine 🤣

[pure kernel]

idea for if you run into a boar spawn: build around it and make it a 'farm'

[stiff night]

i did that with my early starter base 🤣

[pure kernel]

did you experience any issues with doing it?

[stiff night]

not really no

walls never despawnd or anything, but i never added more to it 😄

[pure kernel]

nice. its decided then. farm it is

[stiff night]

i think iv seen someone building to close to say a dodo egg spot and had some planted trees despawn for example

but if thats a "bug" they fixed or not i do not know 😄

[sacred mortar]

Also yeah.. think I posted this before but my neater contraptions in my original buildup on my first place..
The great wall of shame.

[stiff night]

wall of shame? heh should see my boxes of shame in my temp "start of new base" 🤣

[sacred mortar]

We all know what that name implies.. It looks nice but it's chaotic as freck.

[stiff night]

🤣

organised chaos yup

[rocky igloo]

Love it, tho

[spice pewter]

The best feeling really, when it perfectly aligns

[sacred mortar]

Alongside the usual shenanigans of ''Does wood actually grow back'' experiments.

[orchid bluff]

our fleet is being prepared

[upper narwhal]

used that in the demo in my tavern also .. looks very nice

[serene whale]

Actually it would be really cool to add to the game an item to just click and summon a the ship to a specified position, you could build it in you dock and it would always be summoned in the position you specify

[sacred mortar]

A fixed location spawner would be kewls yup

[fervent mist]

How did i miss the room dividers??? 🤯🤯 are they new?

[spice pewter]

Yes I would love that truthfully, I adore my dock but the ship moving around is something else

[upper narwhal]

found this one from the demo with them in the background .. mahogany is such an upgrade!

[hidden sierra]

I build this starter house using only the iems from the 1st island, i haven't travelled on my boat yet this is my 1st build, i have a build video to go with it if you want to check out how to do it https://youtu.be/xPRXE6LcBmk?si=26qct7tIk4vQyEFZ

[inland portal]

Cosy Inn

[signal swallow]

just about finished

[sacred mortar]

Decided to add little marketcorner

[pure kernel]

all 3 ships full with materials included my own inventory

[sacred mortar]

Nothing to do with the building i'm doing.. but decided to make the ranking system on how hard each trophy is to get.. in my mind i'm pretty accurate.

[proper cedar]

Also i place a wall behind me so the char is invisible. Sitting on ship and doing outside view is doing wonders too

[keen sentinel]

thanks

[zealous stag]

Squint. No wolf trophy?

[inland portal]

the outside , with market place

[serene whale]

Actually I haven't unlocked the 3rd region yet but I stumbled on an island and decided to explore, I already got a croc head, now I just need to complete the challenge and kill the 2nd region boss, I found the dodoo one harder to get 😂

[sacred mortar]

That one was on it's own category for being as ruffy as it was, right next to the daggers those two deserved class of it's own.

[sacred mortar]

The boars and dodos are just everywhere.. Goats are annoying, Wolves even more so, Croc hangs there (still working on the statue hunt..) and the crab is just something you don't really go looking for

[serene whale]

They are I just got really unlucky and had to kill over 60 dodos to get the head

[sly blaze]

Maybe add some decor above the door?

[zealous stag]

Extend the roof out an extra half tile over the door, I guess. There's some light peeking out between the wall and the roof.
I'd suggest a wood cross over the door if it's going to be a church.
Or a lantern, if it isn't going to be a church.

[muted hare]

this looks kinda easy to recreate tbh

[pale whale]

we dont have tree decoration

[zealous stag]

Can plant a regular Palm Seed for the center one. We don't have evergreen ones four the outskirts, true. But we could use lime or bananna on the outter stretch.

[sacred mortar]

Slowly coming along..

[pure kernel]

I love this island! 😍 👌

Started framing and made the harbour master to have somewhere to work out from.

Plan forward is:

1. Frame and connect the harbour and island
2. Frame the wavebreakers
3. Frame the hill cannon positions/fortress
4. Frame the main house
5. Frame and make a production/furnace area
6. Bridge between main island and fortress hills
7. Bridge between main island and ship builder

[topaz jay]

does anyone have a good island for making a sea base? i need some inspiratioin

[sacred mortar]

Are we talking something like the villa of Tortuga or some kind of ''Small isle, big fortress'' type?

[pure kernel]

The one that people build castles along the ridge of is kinda perfect for a sea base

[topaz jay]

think of the sea forts in Sea of Thieves

[lament crown]

My main base/Fort

[topaz jay]

guess i better get sailing. that does look like a good spot

[sacred mortar]

There is definetly lot of isles to go through, good luck in finding your salty home.

[pure kernel]

keep in mind materials.

So atleast bring bells and wood with you so you can place a fasttravel if you find your island

[vivid kettle]

True, I'll add thing in the evening, but this I think is an optimal start for my spanish/english area

[pure kernel]

Can someone help me out?

If i knock down trees and place a house where the tree used to be, will it spawn back?

[sacred mortar]

Likely not (yet)

you're able to find wood seeds though, if you want to add trees back.

[agile robin]

what if you plant a seedling and then build over it

[silent bridge]

normal trees don't respawn you're good

[sacred mortar]

aslong as the living condition of the sapling is not negated, it should.

[pure kernel]

thanks

[zealous stag]

The plant will grow up through the block you placed over it, but collision will be VERY WONKY.
If you walk up to the tree, you will occasionally be thrown into low earth orbit.

[agile robin]

[shrewd sedge]

This chat has so many good ideas but really shows me how much i lack creativity in this game 😐😂

[lament crown]

I know the feeling

[agile robin]

just let it happen

[sacred mortar]

the world is your oyster, you can either shoot it open or try nicely wiggle it.. When the deco hits you.. it really hits you.

[shrewd sedge]

I thought i was doing well then joined here😂 some really good ideas lol

[zealous stag]

A lot of it boils down to simply not using the same material five or six times in a row. A break, a pillar, a window, anything other than being an identical flat surface across an entire wall. :p

[agile robin]

learning new shapes and way to combine the parts we have is also important

[shrewd sedge]

Solid advice. Makes sense!

[shrewd sedge]

This is cool as hell!

My place looks like a warehouse 😂

[agile robin]

i havent gotten time to commit to building a real base yet ive been working alot

just lerning the methods atm

[zealous stag]

Still waiting on text signs and colored signs/banners. >.>

And paint. Like that one house in Tortuga that is blue. >.>

[pure kernel]

Thank you!
You helped me figure out the 'glass' top part of my lighthouse

[pure kernel]

what build set are the windows from? I dont have theeeeeeeem... 😛

[agile robin]

im not gonna lie, im not sure there stone and stained glass

i have quite a few and there all really nice

[pure kernel]

just have these

[agile robin]

naw theres like 8 more

i tried posting a link to there own website

they have a online catalog of all the build parts

[pure kernel]

out here building my lighthouse when this guy just absolutely slaaams into the reef 😂 💀

reminded me of the radio conversation between a US warship and a lighthouse debating who was going to move out of the way 😂

[strange rain]

The number of bonfires at our base is increasing.

[fervent mist]

The ones he used are the middle one in your botton row

[pure kernel]

i thought so too, but it isnt

[fervent mist]

Its not? 🤔

I think it is because the top blue one are the middle ones from the row above it

They are all single block windows

[topaz jay]

does anyone have the shape of that god tier island for base building?

[pure kernel]

The one from earlier? the small one?

[topaz jay]

yeah

[pure kernel]

one of these for me. unsure which one tho.

There is iterations (small differences) from player to player, but it should look somewhat like that

[topaz jay]

is it the bottom one?

[pure kernel]

i think top left one. because it has a small island on the side of it with just some trees.

[topaz jay]

does it spawn in a particular biome any? i know it can't be swamp

[pure kernel]

i would guess foothills

maybe even the first area

its here for me

dug out a part of the land to use as a hidden entrance/exit to the main house.

going to put in trees later to hide it and blend it in

[harsh flicker]

i need some help. my roof construction has gone over the budged and im missing pices to finish it. are there any like triangular roof pices i can get the plans for somewhere?

[topaz jay]

can't you just add a supporting beam somewhere? or have you reached building limit?

[harsh flicker]

the building is all green but my roblem is i cant find any way to make the roof complete without it looking EXTREMLY yankey. im getting a headache trying man

[topaz jay]

is this what it looks like untouched? i don't think i've got the right place

[pure kernel]

looks like the right place

[topaz jay]

it's a great island but not quite what i had in mind. thanks for helping me find it

[pure kernel]

it might actually not be the right one.

give me a sec

[harsh flicker]

got a semilar one XD

[topaz jay]

does the island always come in this cluster with the small islands surrounding it and the bigger island on the same tile?

[agile robin]

Yo this is fire 🔥

[pure kernel]

angles of that tower looks sweet!

[pure kernel]

mine looks like this

[silent bridge]

A shrine to worthy opponents

[pure kernel]

curtains bring so much life into a room its insane

[silent bridge]

facts

The biggest creative challenge atm is filling the dead space on walls, curtains are mandatory lmao

[pure kernel]

nice dining room!
Not small but not too big either

[silent bridge]

I opted for a garden in front because I couldn't find anything else that didn't look bland lmao

[pure kernel]

pillars is a nice wall decor to make it pop more.

example
1 pillar down from the top of the wall each tile along the roof
then a side pillar to connect all of them forming a square

[mystic cloak]

New Abbernathy is evergrowing... found out that campfires have a height limit, halfway up those wraparound stairs at the top of the tower.

[pure kernel]

or like lockewood did to his wall on the tower

[brazen canyon]

Ayyooo i want that island

So many ideas

[golden zephyr]

I'm really enjoying the creative the building this game lets you be. This is my freshly built, shanty pot room. Complete with it's very own poop knife.

[brazen canyon]

Nice build

Hadnt thought of toilets yet but YES

[mystic cloak]

Haha, I made a 2 room outhouse with a makeshift seat over a hole in the floor, out on the pier over the water! I love your idea!

[silent bridge]

ah man I have my ppl crappin in a hole into the sea lmao

[brazen canyon]

Deffo stealing the idea

Absolutely incredible! I'm loving that silhouette of the manor in the fog!

i can't take my eyes from it 🤌

[fallow kernel]

That's a lot of detail, any fps issues with all of that?

[pure kernel]

i think youre at the wrong one to be honest...

[eager stream]

How did you make the windows like that?

[pure kernel]

it was. i was just stupid.

He combined the big one and then the small on top of that

[fallow kernel]

isnt it just this window with curtains over them

[golden zephyr]

i just noticed the raised flooring around the firepit! epic!

[subtle iron]

Poor little ones, because I don't know yet what else will happen in the game.

[subtle iron]

Grat ✌️

[topaz jay]

lmao i was on the wrong side

[pure kernel]

let me see when u get there!

[proven spear]

like what?

[proven spear]

actually I just added beams around stone flooring 😄

You mean like this?

bit of farm here and there 😂

[eager stream]

Oh thats why, clever design 😂

[proven spear]

btw. what is the highest comfort number we have here?

[agile robin]

This is where i built

[weary condor]

Like in real life i like something that is almost not possible with floors, but as aswell as always i manage to do it somehow. Made an traditional parket floor with boorder. Quite tricky to get the gaps fixed but as you can see it worked out fine. Hope you like it.

some of the work in progress of the house with th eparket

[wooden lark]

its not finished but can anyone guess what this house is form

[prisma ivy]

how do you move the camera like that. is it in the game or is that a mod or something

[daring wyvern]

Great sense of engineering and architecture, man. What were your sources for inspiration, particularly for the shipyard?

[cloud pagoda]

photomode - mod 🙂

[upper narwhal]

love it when you remove the scaffoldings for easy access and then see that the roof is off 😉

[prisma ivy]

oh okey thanks from Nexus right?

[pure kernel]

better!

[cloud pagoda]

nexus or cursed forge i use both sites

search Photo Mode is the exact name.

it works great for all those cool screenshots, and base tours 💯

[prisma ivy]

yeah exactly i needed that mod for the game

[cloud pagoda]

without the mod - best is pressing the / key - to hide the hud.

[hollow juniper]

you can nuy it i think

[strange rain]

When I was building the shipyard, I looked at sketches of 18th-century English shipyards, and then I just went with my gut feeling.

[oak tapir]

A little bit of our base

[pure kernel]

progress! 😄

[prisma ivy]

looks fancy

[daring wyvern]

This is very nice

[oak tapir]

I think i went a little extreme on this pattern on the front wall, Wasn't the easiest to replicate on the other side 🤣 rip

[simple lagoon]

i hope we one day get the small clay tiles that we see at the People of Tortuga Base

they look so nice

[oak tapir]

i wish they make so we can make blueprints of patterns of for example walls and then copy paste them when building 😍

[simple lagoon]

lowkey, I believe modders are working on "playermade Prefabs" already

though obviously some vanilla way of doing it would be preferred

[empty shard]

i need signs that i can write on

[oak tapir]

Yeah like satisfactory have it's blue print box ( if anyone have played that) would be so nice ( and time saving )

[devout granite]

i'm new to this

[plain yarrow]

Curious, do y'all harvest all these materials or what? how do you get all the materials for these buildings.

[stray nacelle]

Harvesting and bulk buys through merchants for me

[zealous stag]

It's the most time efficent to just blow up blackbeard's ships and spend the silver on orders.
Some people have five or six merchants all queued up with stone.

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I use merchants for anything I can get from them so as to limit my hand-farming to only things that actually require it.

[simple lagoon]

mostly collection, but some specific things like Clay I just order since the deposits for it are so small

[pine path]

Little shipwreck tavern

[blazing iron]

your gonna go far esp if u new grats homie you did well

[blazing iron]

buy the mats in bulk from several vendors

[quasi plinth]

Roach?

[hybrid canopy]

with a lot of work....

[sly root]

does anyone have a cool design for a merchant i want it to be like a stand for a market

[simple lagoon]

its simple, but just throwing the Pier Canopy over the Merchant Table goes a long way imo

[sly root]

thats to simple, and the canopy is to small for my liking

[teal dirge]

reforging shop/wood working

[chilly portal]

anyone have a good starter layout of a mansion, or castel, i kinda could copy? i need some brain storming 😄

[simple lagoon]

I also in-set my Furnaces - shame I hardly use them now that I have the Large Smelter 😅

[pine wadi]

this is so cool !!

[teal dirge]

i in-set the larges as well but i agree i only use the 2 lol

[thorny sphinx]

Kinda forgor myself when I was trying to make fireplace look nicer

[wicked pulsar]

Column A Column B. I spend a lot of time mining so I get stone. I have a field of ficus trees and bushes for passive wood and fiber. Then I use blackbeard and his silver to buy hardwood from my merchants.

I'm currently helping my 4 friends with supplies for their frigates using the same methods

[simple lagoon]

digging ||what I can only assume are|| the multiple bonfires/bases spread across the island - really gives the impression that folks live there 👍

A few fishermen’s huts under construction in my harbor area

[keen sentinel]

this is insane

[shrewd cargo]

Lower harbor district

[reef dome]

This is amazing. Looks very very ambient

[shrewd cargo]

Thank you!

[reef dome]

I am trying something similar but turned out to be too linear. Thats a mistake i just now understand

Looks like all your buildings are not in the same direction and that is what makes it stand out a lot

Everything's a bit too symmetrical

[shrewd cargo]

Yes, they're all angled differently. I just tried to adapt to the terrain and gradually build up the slope. Still gotta find a better spot from where I can capture the whole thing. 🙃

[reef dome]

You have talent

[shrewd cargo]

Still, I think it looks pretty!

[reef dome]

And i realized i want to break down everything i built after seeing yours 😄

[shrewd cargo]

Noo don't do such thing! Just keep on building, add stuff and buildings and see where it goes. 🙂‍↕️

[reef dome]

Feels a bit too basic right now

I have a feeling that my campfire is too small. All cities in this creative chat look bigger than what i am trying to squish into mine

But it might be the issue of placement

[shrewd cargo]

Currently I'm using the mod that extends the bonfire range to 3x

Before that I used 3 bonfires

[reef dome]

Oh, okay. Never thought of that.

[zealous stag]

Other people're using multiple ca... yeah that.
One of the circle island cities had something like eight campfires going.

[abstract badger]

Are you expecting a landing craft like in Normandy in 1944?

[shrewd cargo]

Ah you know... a fort with a handful of cannons can never hurt when it comes to feeling safer. 🤭

[abstract badger]

Just spotted some of this on the right

[shrewd cargo]

Oh you mean that! Yeah well, no this was just kind of a placeholder instead of just having an empty beachside there.

[abstract badger]

You can try to make some boats upside down

hello everyone this is my build i have been working on

[reef dome]

Wish there were creative servers. Like, where you dont have resource limits and just build with random people on random islands

[jagged steeple]

Mine connect on the left sadly but i dug it out to look like yours

[reef dome]

Played with friends, they finished their PVE content and left, and im solo-building a sad village now alone 😄

[past knot]

I really wish that Island had POI's including a Mine because I'd love to make that my permanent base. Sadly on my world it's barren, not a single POI.

[mental sierra]

ahoy there Captains 😄 the first thing I have to say is that words are too small to describe what you have built. Everything is beautiful, great job everobody. I admire your imagination and building skills and I admit that some of them have been my inspiration for the construction so far, and some I will steal for later 😄
here are a few of my buildings must say pale compared to yours but it is what it is and here is whats done so far 😄

[reef dome]

Doing a good job, fellow pirate!

[wheat atlas]

So jealous I am lvl 6 but still have mostly basic build stuff

[mental sierra]

thank you good sir you are very kind 😄

[wheat atlas]

Agree with you love to build just cannot find all the stuff

[reef dome]

I like seeing what other people build and showcasing sometimes too. Probably need to find a group for this kind of activity.

[pliant raft]

How the foundation walls for my fortress started vs what I'm slowly making them into.

[muted obsidian]

almost done

[mental sierra]

palm seeds are more rare than gold in this game. i chop of the entire island and how many seeds nada zero zip nothing. i think we need black market for them 😄

[muted obsidian]

the bigger ones located more far from the sea is easyer to find, but not 100% chance

ficus is harder

[pliant raft]

wish we could just buy em

[mental sierra]

in my case i have more ficus seeds than palm

[muted obsidian]

[dusky vector]

anyone have any good ideas for the top of the wall

[cyan monolith]

base tour !!!! what yall think

[cyan monolith]

dude thats dope

[lament crown]

POI's would be cool

[dusky vector]

cheers

[cyan monolith]

put like look out towers every so often

[dusky vector]

it will be apart of a bigger build i just need the top sorted

[cyan monolith]

i think to the right and left of the gate if u built towers straight up it would look fire

[tough hull]

You see those gaps in the roof tiles in your circular structures? You can use the pediments to shore those up and make them look a little tighter so there’s less space

[dusky vector]

ill try

[tough hull]

Looking FANTASTIC tho

[cyan monolith]

whats the big picture

[dusky vector]

u able to join a vc it will be easier to explain

[cyan monolith]

sure

[tough hull]

Good lord that’s beautiful

[tough hull]

Can always try some roofing on a few sections.

[fervent mist]

Buy where? I bought everything and explored everywhere

Im guessing i just overlooked it

[nova nova]

this is cute! also, what hat are you wearing?

[static sierra]

i

[turbid idol]

how do yall manage super smooth round walls like this

[static sierra]

1 tic at a time

[turbid idol]

oh i drr

and then using the small walls too i assume

[static sierra]

yes or start with a frame of beams

[inner kelp]

not as smooth

Uh, I just found an "old" screenshot of my base and had to repose to recreate that shot with the extended version.

Old

current

[pale stump]

I'm thinking of trying to make a decently accurate recreation of the Roman colosseum...

[inner kelp]

The pillars for some roman architecture are definetly there

[daring wyvern]

Look at this delicious layout 🥲

Think I'll just build some fisheries in the northern gulf...otherwise it is useless as far as I can see

[inner kelp]

"We should create a secret order of masons and build us a hideout in the caribbean sea."
"Yeah, but somehow random dudes should know where to find our treasures."
"What?"

[pure kernel]

Thats a trap ive gone into earlier aswell and something im trying to change on my current build

[inner kelp]

If I would raid that's the first place I would go into xD

[pure kernel]

Did you build there? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[mental sierra]

Folks, I just want to ask you purely for information. I see mods are mentioned, I've seen some have a problem with the game when they install them. do you use any of them and what are your experiences. if I would put some mods, it would be for fast tavel bells, the limit of 10 does not please me 😄 and maybe for respawn fiber and if there is one for seeds. this one specialy

[forest robin]

Can we please get triangle pieces that actually fit the triangular spaces? Thanks! 🙂

[peak lily]

WIP Dockhouse so far

[jade fox]

those aren't triangular spaces

[leaden ferry]

i used them for dynamic windows

[silent bridge]

The latest improvements to Fort Hope

[forest robin]

That looks really cool

[scenic frost]

The Caribbean deserves a bass pro shop

[jade fox]

something a fresh water fisherman would say

bass pro shops are mostly freshwater fishing

[wanton musk]

doing a little testing of basements. they have some issues.

[topaz jay]

I started to but work got busy. I'm at a creative block

[stoic sandal]

Needs an isosceles right triangle

[kind shale]

First vs second base
All build cred to my Hubs, he just asked where I wanted things placed lol

[ripe lava]

It would be awesome to have more paint schemes.

[deep radish]

I built my own crane 😄

[static bane]

That’s actually pretty impressive, a lot better than the one they gave us… 😒

[deep radish]

thanks mate!

[tardy tapir]

getting close to finishing the small coastal fort

[ivory fiber]

any shipwreck cove builds?

[pliant raft]

One of those cartoony skull coves would probably be perfect for that island

[lime pasture]

in progress

[glass sage]

So many amazing builds. I shall have to steal concepts to add to my own eventually

[lament cove]

The Church

[static bane]

You’re a pirate, stealing is a natural thing to do.

[smoky arrow]

Is this the first swimming pool ?

[robust apex]

I saw one the other day which was pretty good. Dont think it was beach side though.

[sacred jay]

this one is pretty good

My WIP (sorry if the frame rate dips my pc isnt the best)

https://youtu.be/Ad28Mu3xLEM

[iron stirrup]

Some people had asked questions on the reddit about building height and stability for very tall structures and so I made a quick and not so great video explaining build height better for those that are interested.

[short pollen]

Another building and attached bonfire sit down place. This Building is the Officers Chow hall and Barracks bottom story.

[drowsy prism]

anyone know if the second set of books, wall paintings, and rugs not in the game? i've cleared all pois and still cant find then. done a decent bit of sailing and the only two new islands ive found all day have not had pois on them (all quests done except fate of prophets)

[short pollen]

I got the paintings in the swamps

[fluid ivy]

there are only 3 rugs and 6 or 5 paintings in the game as far as i know (ive maxed and bought out all vendors and done all quests)

[agile robin]

you cant sneak up on a pirate if you have to swim to his house

[iron stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/flipcity-flipcitypenguins-penginarmy-gif-24571154

[drowsy prism]

okay thanks

online its showing twice as many books, rugs, and paintings than ive unlocked

and ive also finished everything

[agile robin]

trying some shapes out

[plucky flint]

what do yall think i could fill the empy wall space with? ignore lack of clutter everywhere else in room

i dont have swamp done btw

[short pollen]

My game crashed and now my save wont load. My town is gone 😭

[finite falcon]

a bit of progress on my port town
still needs a lot of work though

[cosmic aurora]

@pine wadi @tough hull got a good start on the dock for my Flag ship. Thanks for the insperation KYPBJ!

this was before i added the dock

[pine wadi]

looks good!! excited to see it come together 😄

[short pollen]

Figured out how to get your save to load after a crash. Load another world first then back to menu abd reload to the save you want. Weird but it works for now
Eh nvm. Crashes everytime I fast travel. Save is messed up. Coool guess ill uninstall this for a year. Lol

[craggy garden]

found me an island near the middle and made it my home, the house build took a few hours

[blazing iron]

its not gone, its likely in a save file

[reef dome]

Yeah, but its too far in. Probably need a restart.

[short pollen]

No i know. Just defeated been fighting it for a few hours and cant get it to work.

[finite falcon]

quick question, what does the signal fires do?

[ruby tree]

emit a glow that can be seen from very far away. great for lighthouses

[finite falcon]

coolio, thanks

[blazing iron]

looks like the hoover dam

[idle hill]

Me and @tiny iris just made a little kitchen to test out making a sink and it turned out amazing got to move it inside now lol. give us a 1 out of 10 rating on it!!

[stuck crane]

Trying to do something...i might be way in over my head..

[stuck crane]

10/10

[patent mural]

finally got a tavern up and running

[wanton musk]

found some issues. needs a peak and peek wall.

[iron stirrup]

There is a peak piece that will fit that perfectly, dont remember which set its in.

[wanton musk]

primary base close to being finished.

[frosty kraken]

Is there a way to build pillars to the ground level above water after I reach the zoop limit range?

[vestal raptor]

been playing for only a few days so far and I love the building in this game!

my favorite build so far is 100% this tavern I've made. still working on other builds though :3

[open atlas]

rate the house

and then rate the back of the house

[quasi island]

grian ahh build

[wanton musk]

found em. cheers bro.

[viscid pasture]

Building my own city 🙌

[tough hull]

Slowly working on my seaside bar

little smithy too

[calm thicket]

You can get wall art?!

[sweet brook]

Ave Christus Rex !!!

Incomplete. Whatever... xD

[tough hull]

dude that looks sick

[cosmic aurora]

Thanks!

[cosmic aurora]

Looks even better now too!

I added these little arches to the sides of the wall so its not so flat and repetitive.

Added in some crates and barrels underneath.

Keep me updated on your builds too!

[mystic bay]

Underground/underwater large smelting/charcoal bunker. Covered the top with Fountains!

[tough hull]

posted some work earlier but made some changes to my little smithy

forge is unfortunately not functional due to the proximity of the roof lol. this is the back side of it

[cosmic aurora]

I wish they would change that or give us some work around for that

[mystic bay]

Hanging Gardens work in progress (very tricky)

[tough hull]

i got the kiln to work, but I just think the forge needs to be placed the same way, I may kill it and push it outside a bit more and see if that works.

[mystic bay]

...I figured out a workaround for my underwater smelting bunker 😉

[tough hull]

my crowning achievement tonight is my unfinished bar... managed to make a hearth without clipping lol

[cosmic aurora]

Nice! Btw what you unlocked any new building peaces? I highly recommend getting them if you havnt, gives you a lot more to work with!

[tough hull]

starving for guineas lol, been building so much the last few days I haven't been questing or farming much

[mystic bay]

Heard that...never thought I'd run out of clay but I'm obsessed with the Cornice piece now and it's integral to everything I build so looks like clay is on the horizon!!

[sacred lodge]

Très jolie base

[mystic bay]

Those canopy beds are next level!!

[tough hull]

agreed, I legit said "wow" outloud lol

[sweet brook]

Thanks, bro! My girlfriend did it. I'm getting resources and she is building.

[dusky coral]

trying to build a good looking Fort

[placid nexus]

work in progress

[ruby tree]

Added a little castle manor to the river town:

[wild prairie]

straight outa game of thrones, right on brother

[placid nexus]

Thanks makes all the hours of stone harvesting worth it haha

[static bane]

Why you all have your fancy building which is nice, here’s my humble shanty town.

[royal terrace]

Looks perfect

[static bane]

It’s a peaceful place.

[placid nexus]

cozy nice retirement beach

[dreamy forge]

🪠

[languid tide]

tiny homes in the age of piracy? times must be tough

My "watch" tower

[tender zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/gotcha-wink-see-what-i-did-there-george-seinfeld-gif-17211253476775373357

[mortal pivot]

my fortress a work in progress

[hard oak]

Badunts

What did devs did to game that I don’t have backpack expansions anymore? 😩

[hard oak]

Wasnt triangles on the same color of the body or was the change a deliberate decision?

[ruby tree]

ah what? lol

[hard oak]

Your watch has a difference face than the rest of the tower

U’ve used plaster instead of stone

[ruby tree]

oh yes the plaster, yes thats intentional

its the same on all sides

[hard oak]

You are sure not OCD

😁

[ruby tree]

I used to be ocd but they fixed me

😛

or broke me. Im not sure lol

[cloud pagoda]

Ants !

[upper narwhal]

very flat ants 🙂

[upper narwhal]

very nice .. now seen that, i have to redo my temu watch 🙂

[gilded crown]

my pool

[obsidian iris]

How did it end up going?

[light raptor]

lovely chamber pot, no notes

[soft osprey]

that is an awesome clock where did you get it? is it a mod?

oh nm i see what you did. thats rad

[ruby tree]

haha no mods for me in windrose

[upper narwhal]

for me its testing all day .. windows unsnapped and their structure on plain wals ..

and unsnapped wall stone sunken into large wall stones to get more "3d" out of that wall .. could be looking nice on a stonebuilding

windowborders that may work as timbering and replace beams

[eager stream]

Anyone have a "small" tavern design that could fit here? ive tried 5 different buildings but it just looks odd in that space, or something else completly that could fit there

[pale stump]

Consider a blacksmithing shop. It's compact and open air and probably complements a rock wall well

[eager stream]

I assume your talking about the back wall on the upper level, thats a great idea

[pale stump]

Yeah, next to your bonfire. Did you mean somewhere else? 😅

[eager stream]

Yeah on the level below, the "entrance area" or something xD

[pale stump]

I wouldn't mind coming over to help build something, unless you rly want it as a solo build

[eager stream]

Im more of a solo player tbh, im not really easy to work with as i struggle to put into words what im trying to make xD

[pale stump]

All good brother

[eager stream]

Sorry i just got attacked by 5 ships, but if you have any pictures or something i could take inspiration from i would really appreciate it.. im struggling to find a good material combo for my houses, i tend to just keep creating valheim builds and im trying to improve my building style

[pale stump]

Uhhh I don't really have any reference images. I can just kinda see the rough idea in my head and work on the details as I go haha

I built a manor recently (need to decorate the interior) but I did like a 3 story stained-glass gallery window and big pillars to keep the space open using an obscene amount of triangle floor pieces so i didn't have ugly beams running across the bottom of my floor lol

Lots of plaster/mahogany/tile roofing as is found in the spanish carribean set

[eager stream]

You made the inside roof of triangle floors?
