[pale stump]

Yeah so I used a spiral staircase and made a little balcony overlooking the first floor, then a second staircase to the 2nd floor proper. I built out the 2nd floor/cathedral ceiling of the first floor from the triangle marble floor pieces

It took a long time hahaha and my biggest problem was "structure is unstable" cropping up everywhere

[eager stream]

Yeah i bet, thats a really good idea tho, those beams have been annoying me for a while aswell lol

[pale stump]

It's not my world or I'd show you /:

[eager stream]

its fine, i can somehow imagine it its basicly what ive been trying to make aswell.. testing the big window designs

[cloud pagoda]

More Challenges ! Cool Mod

[pale stump]

I love the big windows

[pale stump]

https://tenor.com/view/say-whaaat-gif-18261283115155956121

[eager stream]

Its a shame we didnt get bigger wood windows, that would be cool tbh

[eager stream]

Hanging obese zombies on the wall xD

[pale stump]

There's some that are door-sized that I actually prefer to doors in some cases

[eager stream]

the double sashed ones i assume? they look nice

[pale stump]

yes!

[eager stream]

They could work as a closet door aswell i imagine

[eager stream]

Also think there is a mod that added glass panes so you could make custom windows aswell

But idk if its safe to use if they dont update the mod

[upper narwhal]

no mods for me 🙂 dont want to have broken stuff after patches

or gone buildings ^^

[eager stream]

Yeah same, would just be so fun to use lol

[pale stump]

yeahhh it would suck if a building was busted bc patch changes lol

[low arrow]

so nice

[oak tapir]

The cinematic views you get in this game sometimes is stunning! they did a great job on that! 👌

[low arrow]

can we hide HUD for screenshots?

[eager stream]

Only on US keyboards use /

[dense wigeon]

UK keyboards is also /

[upper narwhal]

friend was struggeling with roofs done out of beams only like .. so i made a short video how i do mine and how floors walls etc can be done with beams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aZ104Lg44U

[lavish zodiac]

Hiiii, been working on my world the last few days. Let me know what you think or any suggestions! Still lots planned!

[low arrow]

thx
I changed key binding, it works 👌🏼

[eager stream]

Does it? what keyboard you use?

oh nvm, they added the keybind in controls

[low arrow]

I use QWERTZ. I'm from Germany. Just choose a key you like in settings

[eager stream]

Yeah, they must have added that on the last update.. thanks for letting me know lol

[rich frigate]

i had mine up on stilts with wrap around stairs i mad it L shaped too its ok as u can place a outdoor beer garden underneath it too

[slow walrus]

update on trying to recreate one of the buildings from assassins creed

will expand more on the inner square area of the build later

[stiff night]

@low arrow there is a keybind for this since the patch that added missing build pieces and other stuff 😉
so now everyone gets to hide their huds 🥳

edit whoops saw you found the keybind manu & zhxiie, sorry for ping!

[lavish zodiac]

I did not know this either... FANTASTIC! 😆

[stiff night]

😄

alot of neat changes in that patch

such as shovel flatten actualy using terrain level your "standing on"

that shovel flatten was driving me mad

[lavish zodiac]

That one I noticed 🙏

It was driving me nuts before the patch

Is anyone else finding their ships drifting while at port? Frustrating or am I wrong? Where are the working anchors?!

[quaint sedge]

Did you summon the ship in such a tight area or backed it up into it?

[lavish zodiac]

Everytime I go to take a nice snapshot of my bay. My fleet has moved or turned...

No open water

I noticed ships will automatically shift back in to open water if you beach them while landing

This is just tidal drift?

[uncut bramble]

I was playing AC4 thinking to do the same thing lol. That's from Havana right?

[surreal socket]

Got a little carried away making vendor housing.. and needed an idea for the attic. So why not a little hangout spot? 😆 complete with private couches for hanging out... privately... an "exercise pole" for.... exercising.. and 2 VIP or Private rooms complete with ropes and chains for... relaxing? Lol

[dense crypt]

most of the Spanish architecture would be the southwest of any of the maps. as ive been doing the same. so for anyone trying to be faithful to actual architecture to the carribean the Spanish architecture would be roughly the foothills Islands in the southwest. while British influence would be further north east part of our maps. thats not to say people cant do it differently but this is what ive come to find in research.

[uncut bramble]

Well, I'm not doing a 1:1 replica, more informed by that architecture. Right now I'm prepping a site to build the castillo from Nassau

[dense crypt]

oh no I didnt mean that. just more of a general knowledge for anyone wanting to make their map feels properly like the carribean. tho I suspect Havana and such are off the map and we are just off that with certain things said in missions.

[uncut bramble]

Well, if we went by the map in the intro cutscene we're right off the east coast of Cuba, around Saint James Island

[dense crypt]

that makes sense I might have forgotten that part. also explains the island with the people of tortuga

[uncut bramble]

It would be cool to play on a real Earth map and build a little cove on Haiti

[dense crypt]

well I suppose it still stands that if anyone wanted the south western part of our maps should be Spanish architecture if anyone wanted to be faithful to how it should be. but again not telling anyone how to build or where to build just there if anyone wants the info

[main field]

Wow...

[strange rain]

I built a woodworking shop at the shipyard in my base.

[stiff night]

if anything we should see more bits of "Spanish architecture" ||in ashlands according to a NPC line :D||
so heres hoping 😄 more building stuff yes please

also map biomes can be in any directions, my friend has his foothills (Northwest) and swamps in (Northeast) for example
while my save has foothills in (Southwest) and swamp in (Southeast)

[vast hatch]

How is everyone dealing with building these huge bases/forts overtop of enemy NPCs/wildlife. Do boars and dodos just spawn inside your houses? Do they stop spawning once building blocks exist in the same space?

[hard oak]

Bonfire should stop spawning

[vast hatch]

Awesome thank you

[hard oak]

Or at least is what everyone says

[vast hatch]

Well that's better than my idea of building them into the walls so they're perma-stuck on spawn 😆

[simple lagoon]

based on the released Ashlands footage, ||there are structures and general theming for more Spanish Architecture - whether this will translate to new pieces for us? 🤷‍♂️ 🤞||

[stiff night]

you could also turn them into little "zoos" 😄 #🎨│creative message a basic pen, but you know 🤣

[simple lagoon]

depends on the location - I believe Bonfires dont stop spawns at specific locations, like the shipwreck where you can get Silver Ingots

[vast hatch]

I was going to do this actually but with a bloody twist and have passages that connect the wildlife spawn to the NPC spawn so I can watch them duke it out

Hhhmmm, on second thought, perhaps I'll do this on purpose...and have an arena in my fort 😅

[sacred mortar]

could also turn these zoos to have gimmick battles with truffle

[stiff night]

poor truffle D:

but yes you could

[sacred mortar]

Also.. since I played the game ''through'' with normal, I'm tempted to make a new world with hard difficulty.. is that good idea? xD could give me new palate and perhaps a way to.. get new, nicer isle for creations..

[topaz jay]

unless you make a new character i don't think hard diff will change much

[buoyant glade]

Hard pretty much just forces your build into damage resistance instead of more damage

[eager stream]

How would you guys light this up from the outside, does anyone know how you could hang anything from chains again?

[sacred mortar]

It's pretty much what I had done anyway, but I can see the temptation there. Then again, there's quite a pile of isles that I could make for the creative process, and just feels like ''well, maybe I could work this out in some other isle'' but then I'd just feel I need to gather everything around again anyway.

[sacred mortar]

Seen people using these kinds of supports to one of the corners and have the chain/lantern combo hanging from it. That could work here aswell.

[gray hound]

my new base in the foothills area

[sacred mortar]

Curious way to have the lighthouse on the left

[gray hound]

its got the base bonfire in it

[simple lagoon]

those support columns/struts look perfect for placing the Wall Torch on - that would be my first instinct
if not that, you may be able to freeplace something on the underside of the tile roofing to discretely light things up

[eager stream]

Yeah, i tried the wall lanterns but hey are so massive, i wanted to try and hang the smaller lamps from chains but i dont remember how

[gray hound]

what the place looks like in the day time

[slender pier]

Not sure if anybody mentioned this already, but.. in the decoration section, furniture.. how about a large wardrobe with a false back as a secret door entrance?

[eager stream]

tried that but it looks so big

[simple lagoon]

Oh I didnt mean the Wall Lanterns, those will look too big for the space for sure - I meant the most basic Wall Torch in the Decorations tab, since it has a slim profile

As for the smaller lamps onto a chain, I believe it is one of those situations where you build the lantern in place, then put the chain and post, and then remove whatever was under the lantern - if done right the lantern should now be floating, as the chain acts as the new support
-# could be mistaken, I've only had it explained to me, not done it myself

[gray hound]

theyre better for a more open area i think there needs to be like a all lantern option, i havent found it yet if there is one

[eager stream]

I didnt really like how these looked since the walls are so low, i will try that with the chain maybe it will work 🙂

[simple lagoon]

this guy is the one I was meaning - everything else is a bit large

[eager stream]

Ohh, yeah that looks better

[simple lagoon]

although this one might be a "classier" fit, if you have it

[eager stream]

Which do you think looks best?

[simple lagoon]

I like the Wall Candlestick outside, but having this many near each other inside and out seems a bit cluttered - maybe use the Wall Candlestick on the outside pillars, and then you can vary the inside lighting using some of the Chandeliers?

[eager stream]

Yeah i think im going to do that, it was just temporary light to see how it looked at night

Turned out decent actually, im not really a pro at this building style yet so just trying to figure it out 😂 thanks for the help

[cosmic aurora]

I parked it i havnt tried to spawn it in yet, if id does those that would be 👌

[buoyant glade]

Chandeliers definitely have the largest lighting area

[sacred mortar]

It is also a curious one that while that is curious horizontally, it is not as large when it comes to vertical just an observation on my end

[simple lagoon]

lowkey I hope they give us some "dev-items" like NPC markers or straight up invisible light sources

would be so nice

[sand sleet]

Just waiting for the evening festives.....

[icy thunder]

How do people start their builds? as stupid as that sounds lol do you have an ide and go from there or just wing it?

[light raptor]

i usually wait until inspiration strikes and then i’m straight wingin it

[sand sleet]

My place went through multiple renovations lol

You just gotta start with some idea.

I started with my entrance

[icy thunder]

I still have my wee grass hut lol I don't know how big the bonfire area is

[sacred mortar]

Initially, look at your options until you get an idea of ''this may look nice'' then use unwarranted amount of hours to go through what you want to build until it feels just right.. As for the bonfire area, the size doesn't matter when it comes to building, it's just to share the inventories and blocking off enemy spawns.

[simple lagoon]

for me it has been a case of
"right, now I need a farm"
so I build a rudimentary one
and then as I play I improve it, making it more functional and prettier - if need be I'll even relocate the whole thing if a different area of my base ends up making more thematic sense for something

[sacred mortar]

That did remind me.. I need to get more fertile soil

[autumn haven]

I am just in the middle of doing just that, built a basic home but now I am upgrading it to a more aesthetically pleasing one

[sacred mortar]

Would also add that some of it comes from when you have the gold coins and think ''Hmm.. What should I get with these''

[icy thunder]

How do the bonfires actually work tho? I'm still trying to figure everything out atm

[sacred mortar]

So when you place one down, it gives you circular, horizontal area of effect. What it basically does (in theory)

• Allows you to have villagers/workers/NPCs wander in the designated area
• Allows un-blocked access between your storage, work benches, and building hammer, therefore allowing you to have empty inventory, yet craft what you need without bigger restrictions
• Blocks off hostile NPC spawns.

Those are the ones i've found so far anyway.

[sly blaze]

I like using the clay hanging ones for the outsides

WIP lol still got to get more furniture stuff

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/clap-cat-gif-3194407492977937435

Everyone begins from somewhere.

[sand sleet]

Like so

[eager stream]

They fit your build way better than mine tbh

[simple lagoon]

the "hostile NPC spawns" can still happen if you place a Bonfire at specific POIs such as mines, or the Shipwreck where Silver respawns

[tacit sail]

its huge

what should I put in here?

I don't want it to be a church

too classic for me

[tacit sail]

anybody got an idea, im all ears 🙂

[simple lagoon]

church turned into a tavern, or brothel, or military/navy encampment 🤔

[tacit sail]

Sounds interesting

[idle hill]

Yeah!

[sand sleet]

This is MY base lol

[sand sleet]

Best Bar and use of Merchants

[cloud pagoda]

Yo Ho ! Where's me Rum ?! Think Aye seen a Ghost . . . 👻

[obsidian rover]

This game is gorgeous.

[worthy lagoon]

where the janus tho

[sacred mortar]

@stiff night The wall of shame 2.0 :

[stiff night]

less chests then before? 🤣

[sacred mortar]

Needed to go get more wood..

[stiff night]

silver coins > natural vendor

and if out of coins, go board ships 🏴‍☠️

[sacred mortar]

Yes, but it's still 70 minutes per shipment Spending my time more actively..

[stiff night]

you can have more then one vendor you know

seperate timers 😄

[sacred mortar]

I can and I do

[stiff night]

must be going through alot of wood then 🤣

[sacred mortar]

Maybe.. someone has to fill those chests.. and I was playing with a friend who loved to make planks out of most of it.. 🪵

[stiff night]

pineapple house 👀

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-peek-hiding-hide-gif-5340342

[stiff night]

now make a "pizza" around it and anger many ppl 🤣

[lavish nacelle]

It’s so crowded in here 😅

[sacred mortar]

Also frank, is it bad that I still haven't figured how to get chain? xD

[stiff night]

uhhh building chain?

[sacred mortar]

yeah

[stiff night]

its likely a "cosmetic" unlock or something as you do all your quests

most of main building blocks are on the faction vendors (some unlock earlier prior to them)
while rest gets unlocked as you do side stories and main story and explore the various points of intrest

[sacred mortar]

Soo.. yeah.

[tiny silo]

Just finished

[stiff night]

sounds like that one then for me that was a shipwreck to i think

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/clap-cat-gif-3194407492977937435

[red yarrow]

i feel the same way im buliding on a rackface making a cove city on the rocks

[stiff night]

@sacred mortar https://windrose.tools/items/did-misc-recipe-deco-iron-lights-chandelier-t04 yeah it is

[lone folio]

mansion

[sacred mortar]

Was gonna say yeah..

[wanton musk]

vary hard to have walls that don't have dirt poking through them.

[obsidian iris]

Maybe try buffering the walls with stone platforms,

[wanton musk]

that's what i was using.

[obsidian iris]

Oh heck

[lavish nacelle]

Throne room with mulitple pillars and banners

[stiff night]

if you havent done the "mystery of expedition quest"
it should be that wreck
i had to find ||a grave in the starting biome islands, one in foot hills and one in swamps that ultimately lead me to last shipwreck with the chandeliers||

[obsidian iris]

I wanted to build a basement to my base but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I've been to busy building up the side of a mountain

[rocky igloo]

first thing i see tabbing in here and its just ultra realistic minecraft resource pack

[wanton musk]

you kinda need to start from the basement up. might have a solution to cover up the dirt that's poking through but need to do some testing.

[obsidian iris]

[obsidian iris]

Because of height issues?

[wanton musk]

hight issue and digging a hole deep enough to allow for a good basement.

[sacred mortar]

Wasn't that one.

[obsidian iris]

If I understand the dig mechanics right, you can only dig down 1 floor from where the actual games normal floor is?

[rocky marsh]

Great.. Now I want a basement cellar.. 🤣

Gonna be doing a lot of digging.

[stiff night]

at least they fixed "flatten" 😂

[rocky marsh]

Does the water table work throughout the whole island or just near the water? My island isnt very high off the water line and im wondering if I dig deep it will be water.

[wanton musk]

kinda. ill boot the game up and show you some pictures.

[obsidian iris]

Oki

[wanton musk]

this is the test building. it's clearly above the beach level. down into the basement and. this is how tall i managed to make it.

[obsidian iris]

That doesn't look had at all

[obsidian iris]

Stealing this idea

[sacred mortar]

Had to look it up through interactive map.. Would have taken ages for me to find it without..

[obsidian iris]

I'm a noobie builder, but this is what I came up with.

[stiff night]

yeah i ended up having to do that to for my last shipwreck im like where in heck is that dang thing 🤣

[obsidian iris]

I think big take away that I need to pull from you all, is city planning, making roads between buildings, and more plants

[wanton musk]

the hard part is knowing when to stop digging. also getting the walls of the hole flush enough that you don't have dirt poking through.

[sacred mortar]

I approve using the banisters on the upper houses, but curious on how it would look up with thinner board going across.

[stiff night]

not exactly "creative" but just to point out, i sailed my entire world 😂 and my last wreck was bloody here

[sacred mortar]

we're not too far off..

[sage light]

So I saw a video on YouTube of a guy making a modern house in WR. Have any of you seen any similar videos by other creators? Anything outside the norm? https://youtu.be/wjxiIHPc47A?si=ImYubtJvFKo0mM8l

[stiff night]

not exactly modern building, but i adore this guys build - https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1496427033415389294

its bonkers!

[sacred mortar]

Lot of videos I see are still using the starter things Pretty sure further we go, the more creative does the creating become.

[sacred mortar]

Love the way he made the plaza!

[obsidian iris]

Yooo that's cool as fffuuu :V this server doesn't let me cuss lmao

[stiff night]

its a massive one to like 200+ hours or something at this point, but i do belive they are 3 ppl

but even so detail is just ahh chefs kiss

[sacred mortar]

Just me or when people sail about and see isles like this and think ''hnngh.. I would build there''

[eager stream]

First playthrough absolutely xD

[stiff night]

me and every island i came across pretty much lol

[wanton musk]

@obsidian iris what the hole looks like with out the walls.

[obsidian iris]

Can't see it xD

Put some lights in haha

[sacred mortar]

Here it is.. protected by level 5 crabbies..

[stiff night]

i saw a boar 👀 and it vanished

[sacred mortar]

Someone did a AI boar poster 🐗

[oak tapir]

Arrr... I present the shanty of Barry Brown , The most feared boar in Tortuga Town!

[oak tapir]

i fked up it's a bit up xD

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/pat-dinosaurs-plushies-gif-24417567

[ebon spear]

this may be off topic on here but how do we trap a boar without it disappearing everytime i fast travel? or do they always disappear? lol

[stiff night]

are they in bonfire range?

might be why

[sacred mortar]

Some (most) people pin their spawn points @stiff night has an example. Always make sure it's out of bonfire range.

[stiff night]

i had a "boar pen" since start of game for 150 hours where they never went away (outside the bonfire range)

[ebon spear]

ohhh!! i didnt think of that! will make the barn outside of the bonfire. thanks so much!!

[jaunty epoch]

🌙 Just posted a bunch of new screenshots from the project 👀
We are working on the right side yet.
More interiors and little details added everywhere : https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1498654726567362620

[stiff night]

like this is what i did at the time

and the spawned boar with that "boar den" stayed there all playthrough 😄

[ebon spear]

haha awesome!! thanks so much, ill try it

[stray nacelle]

it does not seem to stop scertain kinds of spawns. Like boars will still spawn at sweet potato patches within the bonfire.

[stiff night]

yeah the dens/dodo eggs might be special, cant say iv checked tbh and i dont have the starter base anymore 🤣
as i moved into some huge mountains

altho in regards to building near them someone had a "tree sappling or 3 dissapear" when being to close to a dodo egg spot
but the walled pen above never dissapeared for example, so its just something you will have to experiment with @ebon spear

[sly blaze]

Great idea

[stiff night]

also while not most being modern, there is quite a few pools made in this channel 😄
if you do a search in this channel with pool

like this one for example i quite like - #🎨│creative message
Also lights work underwater 😉 can make for fancy lighting depending on how creative you get with it
(torches at least do)

[jaunty epoch]

For the kind of "TV", the credit is for @upper narwhal
Thx for the idea 😄

[ornate radish]

My "re-claimed" costal defense tower home finished...

[static bane]

Impressive, seriously. 🤯

[ornate radish]

Wow!

[static bane]

I still like my shanty town.

But if they allow us to expand the bond fire range it will probably be turned into a Spanish colony.

[gray hound]

amazing

[gray hound]

dude my pc dies on a large build thats a whole town

[torpid mason]

yea little fps drop but nothing too bad

[sacred mortar]

@stiff night little steps.. thought the little added wing was little quiet so.. built a dockmaster's office (With most of the essentials)

[gray hound]

how far we talking mines like 40 frames while looking at my base

[fringe raven]

any chance we could get some shiplap walls so I can finish my boat?

[simple lagoon]

honestly, great composition for these photos as well 🤝

[sacred mortar]

unfortunately only resolve I see around that is trying out 64 degree reef walls, but you might not have unlocked them yet.. Otherwise, have to wait until new pieces pop up.

[rose gust]

That would be awesome building ships like that

[sacred mortar]

@stiff night Final one for tonight.. It's ready to be chaos.

[stiff night]

oh no how do you even reach the top 2 chests, i feel thats really awkward to aim to "deposit/take stuff" from 😂

random thought, "Floor holes with chests/boxes in em" ? 😂

[sacred mortar]

It's matter of perspective have to admit, I just stuff those with the least pickable stuff.

[sacred mortar]

Don't tempt me to make a basement to my next house

[stiff night]

shame we got no "hidden door/floor thingy" if im not mistaken 😄

[sacred mortar]

I mean I tried to make a ladder at one point.. didn't quite work how intended.. but it's not impossible 😄

[rocky marsh]

A trap door would be so clutch!! Especially with an attachable ladder!!

[stiff night]

and we technicaly have ladders in the game

altho its in certain points of intrest 😄

[simple lagoon]

🤞

[sacred mortar]

yep, but only on those certain points 👀 Until then.. the closest we have is initially a poor version of a ramp.

[stiff night]

some day, meaning they probally want actual animations for it to 😄 given the in "poi" one is a fade to black on interact

if it happens that is ❤️

[amber timber]

i discovered that you can make a slide with stairs. if u have 3 rows of stairs and then remove the middle set and then cover the middle so you cant fall thro and you will just glide down like ur falling. discovered on accident

[sacred mortar]

imagine making one with the reef roof pieces but it sure is a 1 way ticket

[simple lagoon]

yup - but those would be the same animations that they want for properly climbing aboard our ships, so it'll probably be a case of getting one when we get the other

[amber timber]

hell yea being able to build a custom ship would be tight

[sacred mortar]

Know I said last one with the wall but.. had to finish up the second floor since we spoke about stairs..

[tribal barn]

cover middle with what?

[amber timber]

pretty sure i had another set of stairs layered just above

i could try and build it again i ended up removing it cuz was in the way

[ancient seal]

How do I make inverted slanted walls? I couldn't find a recipe.

[tribal barn]

thank you broski

[amber timber]

np bruh tag me if u make a sweet slide lol

[uncut bramble]

Making me wish we had blocks that angled at the top like these crenelations. They're all over Caribbean forts

[forest blaze]

Any ideas on how I could improve this cargo cover corner at the entrance to my base?

I would have put a pole down at the corner, but it's too close to the end of the stairway

[tribal barn]

haha bet i will

[stiff night]

just spurting out an idea, but have you tried maybe placing one of those inverted wall piecs (with snap off sunk into the block, and adding to the snap of that sunked down piece)?

asuming your reffering to these?

[simple lagoon]

honestly, I'd just do away with the "cover" as a whole - it just interrupts the view, and given that it has no support it seems out of place in that location

[forest blaze]

Yeah thats probably what I'll do, thank you

[uncut bramble]

It's not a bad idea, but this is the only result I'm getting 🙃

[stiff night]

hmm close ish D:

aint there a taller piece?

the one you use for front walls

[severe tundra]

yo which building unlock does that bed come with 👀

[uncut bramble]

Same issue, it only attaches to the side

[stiff night]

dang

[eager stream]

Slowly making some progress, rebuilt everything 5 times now lol

[uncut bramble]

Although turning off snapping did give me a better result doing the typical straight crenels, so ty for the idea

[fierce crow]

[stray nacelle]

I've started on a swamp treehouse, spanning a set of 4 of the large trees. I have no idea what this will end up being - not sure if I'll be going Ewok Village, with several large connected platforms, or more of a large rambling structure or two, or something in between.

@pine wadi I'm hoping to create a vibe similar to your vertical build and windmill, but both ramshackle builds and mostly unenclosed ones are new to me, so I'm just kinda feeling my way through it, and trying to determine what it should be and what I want to actually include (i.e. should it be a fully functional base or purely an aesthetic build).

[pine wadi]

perfect spot!! that'll be awesome! is new to me as well building games in general are fairly new to me lol but you already got a good start for it i think! i wanna build int he swamp too but im thinkin cozy clay hut lol but mebe now a treehouse o.o

[static bane]

Those Plague Crushers will bring them down. Well it depends on the trees.

[brisk ermine]

What island is this on

[pine wadi]

ya i'd not build where they're spawnin lol i wanna be able to afk safely XD

[static bane]

Understandable. I don’t think I’ll move from my main island.

[pine wadi]

i wouldnt either ive built too much and wanan keep adding on, but i want to have little outposts on the area's i go to farm stuff

[timid bone]

My starter house is almost completed

Cant wait to get better decor

[static bane]

It’s still nice

[toxic zinc]

have you tried to have it attached to the fundation via snap so that the top doest stick through? (would clip through bottom though)

[stiff night]

was the point to have the top stick through, to emulate the look of this.
was trying to help out maghorn here, #🎨│creative message 😄

we just dont have any smaller pieces with that angle atm so its uhh finicky

[toxic zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/one-must-imagine-sisyphus-happy-thats-enough-gif-7885614281910472153

i know the pain

[azure cargo]

Nice, you are far kinder to the swamp than I am.

[trim axle]

im gonna build my base in tortuga

[pale stump]

Wow

[azure cargo]

yeah, I really have a vendetta against swamps in games. In satisfactory I paved them all over

[stiff night]

you to huh 🤣 (used my ship a while back)
"there was once trees here"

[winged stratus]

Cue Enya - The Memory of Trees 😄

[stiff night]

speaking of tortuga, i came across this when messing around and the "ghost wall" is apparently grounded for support

[azure cargo]

You know, the swamp enemies are a lot less scary when you can see them in broadlight from a mile away :p

plus i have enough tar to kit out 5 new frigates now

[muted quail]

send help 202 hours in to the game o.0

[tough hull]

I need to unlock these extra decorations D:

[stray nacelle]

well, having the trees around is part of the point. I'm trying to avoid cutting any down around the build unless I absolutely have to (and I will for some)

[wraith vine]

I love all these designs! You guys are giving me so many ideas 💡

[forest robin]

I think we both built castles on the same island

[main quail]

makes me kinda wish my group had picked as different island than the spawn lol

[uncut bramble]

You can always build more than one base

[forest robin]

You can also move. We had a nice house with the Brethren first, but once I built the castle we decided there was no point staying at the house

[tough hull]

yeah this hurts my heart too. I want some of the wall pieces to also be floor pieces.

[stiff night]

if we could rotate pieces it would help alot with creativity 😄

but that would also need alot more snap points imo on individual build pieces

valheim does snap points really well in that regard, which is one thing i wish windrose had more off

[tough hull]

PHENOMENAL job on those corbels under the window

[winged stratus]

I just stumbled upon this in the swamp. Now there's something for a tree house 😄

[stiff night]

i thought of same thing when i saw that one, tip btw, you can just fit the "small sectioned" spiral stair in it 😄
the bigger one clips in the tree alot

[winged stratus]

and this right next to it:

[winged stratus]

It's right next to the Tainted ruins for the ingot respawns. So I might built something there 🙂

[stray nacelle]

yeah - I wanted something taller but those trunmks, and the ones lying on their sides, and the gnarled large dead trees in clearings all are good spots for little hovels or retreats

[inner berry]

My mates and I have been sprucing up all of the outposts.
Here is just a little bit of what we have done so far.
Yes, we are done with all of our questing.
Now its just time to play around and build 🙂

[wanton musk]

crafting level. yes the hole house is on stilts.

[halcyon umbra]

Very nice!

[weary condor]

WOW, EVEN A RAINBOW IN MY VILLAGE 🙂

[wanton musk]

all the way across the sky. so intense. 🤣

[forest robin]

That's a full rainbow

[wanton musk]

bedroom decoration . yes wicker changing screen.

[weary condor]

wonder if there is a pot of gold ? hope not that captain beard seeing this and decide to check out my island 😛

[azure cargo]

Work in progress: pool with sauna shack

[static bane]

I now know why pirates like booty so much. 😅

[elfin garden]

Dear shop keeper !

[azure cargo]

lol, that merchant lives better than his boss on the buccaneer island

[static bane]

I’m making jokes, it’s what I do.

[tiny silo]

i am infact NOT! done with my build... forgot the GOSHHH DAMN ROOF Eaves! ON EVERYTHING! lol i musta forgot they exsisted

[mental sierra]

i found the other one but not this one 😄 perfect for tree house 😄

[eager stream]

Its a pretty small island, i can send screenshot tomorrow if i remember

[past knot]

Don't forget to add additional clutter around your Merchants so it looks like a proper Market stall.

[brisk ermine]

Would be great thank you

[brisk ermine]

I started a new character n world so I could start over on a base. Mine is so plain n im browsing everyone's build to see if I can come up with some awesome builds like all ur creative ppl are. Im not much of one..

[brisk ermine]

Looks like a great start for a private depot.. lmao

[grave bridge]

How far in game to unlock all building blueprints?

[stiff night]

most are from the faction vendors (as far as building blocks go such as walls/flooring/roofs/foundations etc)
more cosmetic related pieces are from doing the current main story/side quests and points of interests (chairs, candles etc)

so it can take a bit to unlock the faction ones (given rep/coin cost) Board ships with "gold chests" to get chunks of coin

[brisk ermine]

Nice outhouse where the newspapers lmao

[karmic parcel]

So, uh, yeah. The brig really is much bigger than the ketch. But the new base is shaping up nicely so far.

[brisk ermine]

Still trying to figure which island this is built on lol

[bright tendon]

Anyone know if we're ever gonna get stone floors? I wanna make an all stone pier but no stone floors kinda kills the idea sadly

[proven spear]

what are You wearing on Your head xD?

[shadow prairie]

HAHA You haven't unlocked that yet?

[proven spear]

You have some knowledge I need in my Windrose life 😂

[shadow prairie]

You can't even upgrade it. Its a cosmetic that literally stays at level 0 LMAO

I have an extra one if you want it.

[proven spear]

it's about being stylish

[abstract badger]

He has swamp metal tools and shaman mask. There is no legitimate way to obtain them

[proven spear]

ooooh... he's an Ashland tester!

[abstract badger]

I think its Mod/hack

[proven spear]

@shadow prairie we need some answers here 😆

https://klipy.com/gifs/im-watching-watch-you

[shadow prairie]

I cannot confirm nor deny your statement!

[proven spear]

I've got what I needed 😂

[shadow prairie]

I've got my own server. Join and I can share mask, axe, and pickaxe 🙂

[abstract badger]

https://tenor.com/view/shakey-strong-cat-gif-17734524

[shadow prairie]

I've only got one extra. So, really the first person that joins will get it 😉

[proven spear]

https://klipy.com/gifs/james-doakes-doakes--k01KQZRXFZTKRN7ZBG388N9J69X

I've promised my mum no to go to strangers servers to see smol kittens 🤣

[shadow prairie]

LMAO... Ive also got the crocodile whistle, and upgraded bore whistle.

[neat nexus]

After a lot of rebuilding, rearranging, and cursing to every god who would listen, I think Port Waco is starting to look pretty good.

[shadow prairie]

Need to get that ship upgraded brother!

[neat nexus]

Once I get the ability to go into the third biome, I intend to.

[shadow prairie]

Need some help lmk. I'm bored and chillin

[stiff night]

just saying, might wanna chill out a bit with modded content for unreleased stuff, now im not sure what was in the summer alpha but uhh that seem "risky"

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-dr-evil-how-gif-19601238

[stiff night]

reffering to the person with the "unobtainable" stuff that is 😄

[shadow prairie]

This dude gets it HAHAHA

[shadow prairie]

Anything is obtainable LMAO

[stiff night]

swamp tools are not

but you do you, i call that risky stuff to "brag about" 😄

[sacred mortar]

Nothing wrong with following guidelines, just don't be swiggy about it I know i'm just waiting and privateering while at it.

And spending my wood storage while at it

[shadow prairie]

I started vanilla and finished vanilla. Gotta spice up the experience or it just gets too boring to even play!

[sacred mortar]

Never touched mods in games like these so yeah, Get the booze

[rancid pivot]

.-) i love building in this game

[shadow prairie]

'Rum'maging for life!

[tough hull]

@cosmic aurora looking a lot cleaner, and the forge works now!

[autumn haven]

Been working on this most of the day, quite proud of it as a first attempt

[rancid pivot]

nice guys, my last picture for today with my 1st build at the swamp

[autumn haven]

Rear view

[shadow prairie]

Once you unlock vendors, find the fireplace blueprint. Its super nice

[autumn haven]

Ooh nice will do thanks

[sacred mortar]

My dockmaster agrees

[stiff night]

wait we dont have rum bottle decors do we? 😢

thats a crime if not 😂

[sacred mortar]

Not yet..

We got grog basket though

[tough hull]

the overhang is quite nice!

[tough hull]

what set is that chair from?

[tough hull]

I also have a dockmaster's office but I don't have the right furniture lol

[shadow prairie]

Its part of the hunters collection I believe.

[autumn haven]

Thanks thought I would give it a go as I watched a few streamers do it

[sacred mortar]

Think its from the same sets as most hunter stuff, or lower level luxurious

[tough hull]

still WIP until I get the right decor lol

[sacred mortar]

So frank.. Do I build tavern or garden next

[shadow prairie]

Build my pickaxe 😬

[stiff night]

basement 🤣 (joking kinda), uhh gardens are nice we dont really have that much flower/seed variety 😄

[autumn haven]

Loving the beams inside

[sacred mortar]

[shadow prairie]

What decor do you need?

[sacred mortar]

I shall.. tomorrow.

[rancid pivot]

all so creative here, nice com

[tough hull]

I think hunters, just been short guineas

[shadow prairie]

Dm

[sacred mortar]

Heres the rest of my dockmaster's office @tough hull

[tough hull]

i gasped, I LOOOOOVE that entryway. the curves in here are lovely. Hunters have such good cabinetry! 😍

[stiff night]

boarding lvl 10+ ships (with gold chests) tend to give 200+ silver per ship
and other things to sell (sell repair kits blue versions to the brethren of coast, can also make more with steel nails depending on how much you been doing ship combat)
smugglers let you turn silver to gold coins at their vendor

[sacred mortar]

Also gives extra loot by boarding, just be aware that it gets tight

[cosmic aurora]

Hell yeah thats alot cooler than what I did with mine lol.

[worn hollow]

Puerto de la Media Luna finally complete. A couple furnishings and decorations, and will finally make a video on it.

[sacred mortar]

@tough hull also heres what I rightfully call my wall of shame (2.0)

[tough hull]

They really need a hot deposit button lol

[tough hull]

I was going to do something like that but instead opted for an outdoor storage area and a counting/ware house (on the right)

[sacred mortar]

Hold on..

[tough hull]

from the other side

[sacred mortar]

@tough hull This is my original wall of shame in the house that we built to get the game through originally with a friend of mine..

[tough hull]

those are some cleeean lines tho 😮‍💨

[sacred mortar]

@tough hull and this is what I began to build after I was done with the story and been slowly updating since.

[tough hull]

I never would have thought to access the second floor from the outside

[sacred mortar]

That was the temporary measure until I came up with how i'm going to do with the inside.. ended up coming to conclusion because of frank..

[sacred mortar]

For now, that's the solution.

[tough hull]

Honestly I love it lol

[sacred mortar]

Also, the market I built on the side 👀

[stiff night]

was the conclusion a basement or floor holes with storage? 😂

[sacred mortar]

The conclusion was that we need better ladders and You will get your basement.. tomorrow.

The more I think on it, the more i'm going ''Well, time to hit the mines for the stone.''

[tough hull]

niiice. My plan is to do something like my counting house, but with the overhang being the apartment with stairs leading up the back of the open market stall beneath it

[tough hull]

lol I did this in the beta and made an entire basement

[sacred mortar]

My idea began from something along the lines of ''Those are nice piers.. I want one of those.''

[tough hull]

gotta say, the decor really brings that all together

[stiff night]

decor options are pretty great in the game so far, and its only gonna get better as more biomes gets added to game 😄

[tardy sail]

Made a nice little villa

[sacred mortar]

There also used to be a cannon for well-ridden customers.. but someone heaved it into the frigate.

[sacred mortar]

Now to just wait until we find new faction.. and with that, new way to spend our insignias

61 favor letters is.. a thing.

[tardy sail]

We're hitting a point where everyone can just max out whatever new faction shows up instantly.

[stiff night]

likely gonna add a new type of rep item with a new faction imo

to prevent hoarding to instant unlock

but if we are lucky they dont, i have like a full chest of isignias/letters etc 😄

[tardy sail]

That seems like a poor plan, since then all those rep items would be useless

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/mcdonalds-patty-throw-gif-8437703

all the captains at the new faction agent

[stiff night]

could be turned in for a bit of coin maybe "after max rank" down the line

but we will have to see 😄

[sacred mortar]

In my opinion? Bring a new faction rep system upon launch and give us vendor to sell the old ones.

[tough hull]

^

we should really be able to turn the excess into piastres bare minimum

[tawny wind]

build a warehouse any thoughts?

[tough hull]

shoudl be the bucaneers to buy them, honestly

added some fish to the restaurant

[sacred mortar]

Interesting roof solution, cant see the close details but could use little love on the brims

[sacred mortar]

I see that peekaboo hole in the roof.

[tough hull]

ah I see that now. Maybe a few triangle pieces to flare out some? Idk if that set has small pieces

[tough hull]

gasp! where?!

[sacred mortar]

Where the beams connect

[tough hull]

in the straw ceiling? that's the actual model

[sacred mortar]

Could also be low-intense beams going across

That very little hole

[tough hull]

oh nah, that's just a gap from the ridge piece. there's one on the other side too

[sacred mortar]

Mmhm, I would have finished the roof differently but its an art by itself.

[tough hull]

i've always treated those as "vents" I could have capped them with a corner piece, or (if they had low angled triangles that were small enough) filled it.

this is the corner piece coverage

[sacred mortar]

Yup

[tough hull]

without

i also played around with just adding another ridge piece but I didn't like the way it looked from outside lol

[sacred mortar]

But always see if you can use a brimbeam to hide those little crimes.

[tough hull]

lol I dig them from the standpoint that it's a restaurant with a functioning kitchen and no chimney lol

[sacred mortar]

You mean no chimney.. yet.

[tough hull]

lol

if we had smaller circular brick pieces i would 100% have made a small one

[broken zodiac]

absolutely beautiful roof you made

[tardy sail]

I'm still waiting on every roof tileset to actually have every shape

[tough hull]

honestly I'm just surprrised the hearth came out this good, and with no clipping!

[sacred mortar]

The hearth is good, but im curious of something else on it

What would it have looked like if the pit of the hearth was clay instead.

That definetly gave me some ideas

[shut imp]

My Homestead. Not much but it's honest work. absolutely love this game!

[tough hull]

are there clay foundation pieces?

[tough hull]

seeing this makes me wish I went for the hunter set first

work in progress for my town

[torpid frost]

I am sure someone mentioned it. But give me an option where to place my ship when I call it. Hope to see that in the game some day! Just can place it like their building system already has! ❤️

[tough hull]

really lik ethe open format of the smelting area and how small your church is!

[amber timber]

lol i just hit 201

[sacred mortar]

Not foundation, but there is walls

[ionic stream]

really wish they had more decoration options

[rigid sun]

SQUARE🤪

[rocky schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/the-square-hole-square-hole-shapes-piklas-gif-24625312

[fluid pewter]

You can already do this.
When using K, your ship will appear as close to your location, and adjacent to it as possible. You can have it appear perfectly on the docks, as long as there's enough room for it to appear there. If there isn't enough room, it will appear in the next closest spot.

Also, if you're fast traveling from your ship to a Bell, your ship will always face exactly East, so you can design your dock and place your bell at the very end of it, to make it so that it always appears in the same spot when fast traveling this way.

For example when I fast travel to my base, my ships always appear precisely here against my dock, facing East.

[rocky schooner]

could you show where exactly the bell is located?

[simple lagoon]

Built a little seaside hut for my merchant to live in

[viral ravine]

Still have more to do, got to decorate and do some detail work but i got the main buildings done

[rigid sun]

Oh nah

[pure kernel]

New base is still WIP and slowly but steadily moving forwards

[stuck crane]

I made a thing. I bet you guys can do it better. Maybe the chimney and croc head might be too extra. But I'd like to see more throne type builds.

Unfortunate I cant blend structures into the chairs (you can to a certain degree)

[still prawn]

What a beautiful sunset on my base. ❤️

Just a beautiful night!

[torpid frost]

Funny timing cause I saw a video on this and got my docks set up too! Thanks for the east facing part!

[ionic stream]

how u get water like that?

[fluid pewter]

It's on the very tip of my docks.

[rocky schooner]

Ok thanks i'll test around a bit with that later, also thx for sharing this generally

[tough hull]

hrrm i could try that

[manic halo]

just learned that you can make complex inclined wall shapes by laying out horizontal beams as a guide for the walls

[sturdy lodge]

@lusty kindle little hard to see the actual dock next to it, but my 'project' is to turn this entire thing into a port.

[cyan jacinth]

thought I'd share some roof tech. stairs are your friends

It's all stairs baby

[sturdy lodge]

oh... they're incoming... Just the initial dock layout requires a bit of a grid. once I start filling the space out, it'll get a lot more... "Cozy"

[pale whale]

man i really need fly or free camera mode when building

[ruby tree]

For spots like that, you might like to use a ladder design like how I posted here: #🎨│creative message

Lets you jump up each rung to the top

[sturdy lodge]

I mean... this is the new and improved Crab Shack so far....

[pale whale]

idk what i was doing but it turned out like that

[sturdy lodge]

pirate church?

[pale whale]

ye only thing that bothers me alot is that the windows are not in center

looks like i will have to go with 4 then

[torpid frost]

Would love to see more of the dock setup 👀

[sacred mortar]

I did try something like it but reason or another didn't work though I will reconsider it next time

[ruby tree]

ah well my steps in the picset should help 🙂
Ping me if you need any explanations for the steps

[obsidian trail]

my new favorite roof tech is using clay roofs to hide ugly stairs

[signal brook]

Now clip some mohagany rails down between the marble tile and the wall to cover the plaster. 😏

[fluid pewter]

It's nothing fancy but I'll try to remember next time I log in. I haven't been on in a hot minute

[obsidian trail]

good call, that looks great

[signal brook]

It fits perfectly there. looks great man!

[obsidian trail]

thank you thank you! stayed far away from the plaster in this build, it needed some character

[static bane]

Oh yeah see it. Impressive though.

[mortal pivot]

ye i just got his attention and lead him into trees haha

[pale whale]

wtf how did you floor the entire island lol

also which island is that

[inner berry]

Had a rainbow visit me tonight, and ~poof~ it was gone.
Was pretty cool seeing it in game for the 1st time.

[lethal quail]

A little bit of determination and way to much time. lol I know this island as Crocodile island. If you go there, you'll see what I mean. haha

[pale whale]

can you show me a map to see which island is it so i can check it out

[finite radish]

@dim ravine Is the main builder me as the secondary
More pictures of the town will be coming as we grow the island

Market Square and food court @dim ravine

[pale whale]

yep here it is

Which one gives you the stained glass windows?

[delicate condor]

Cheers

[upper narwhal]

very nice one .. have you come up with a good connection to the walls? tried in demo and went with the 1st pic ... in EA tried different stuff but nothing so far made me do the outer door of the castle with . Even tried iron mugs as connection door<>wall ... and knives at the outside of the door while working on it 😉

but i will use the knifes 🙂

[void raven]

My first attempt at a ship keel being put together and my main base slowly upgrading from palm walls. It's not nearly as good as most others I see here, but you know, it's mine. Lol

[sly dirge]

how does the game perform when youre there? does it get laggy at all?

[finite radish]

Performance isnt much of an issue though server is reset daily and I am paying for a beefier dedicated server

[slender talon]

love this stuff

[lavish wadi]

My Homebase

[pine wadi]

got the market side connected to the other half of my cliff build, still have a lot of detailing and more market stalls to add etc but im really happy with the shape of this so far 😄

[eager stream]

Here you go 🙂

Anyone knows why my corners never line up?

[sacred mortar]

the short answer is that build pieces weren't really made to conserve the tilts. Say if you tried to use the triangle pieces, the story would look more different, but when you tilt it manually, the flex on most of the wall pieces always leave someone wondering the same thing. This might be why some of the beams and pillars are bigger than others.

[upper narwhal]

use 45 degrees 🙂

[eager stream]

Right, casue ive tried with every angle and i dont understand how people get so clean seams on their builds

[upper narwhal]

or build with beams .. then set the walls

[eager stream]

I can try that

[eager stream]

How would you go about roofing then?

[upper narwhal]

^^ depends on what type and the angles of the corners ..

a lot can be done with unsnapped pieces

but yep - it gets harder if you freestyle the fundation

[eager stream]

100% im wanting to make a tavern with a full glass circle for "VIP" but im not sure if i should try and use 15-30 degrees

[sacred mortar]

I always approach this particular question with similar attitudes as some would say..

F'ing around and finding out.

[eager stream]

Yeah but i have been fing around and not finding out anything lol

its driving me insane, cause i can mash another wall piece in to get rid of the gap but it looks so dumb

[sacred mortar]

hmm.. are we talking of proper circle, or more of an octacon situation?

[upper narwhal]

so stay at 45 degrees and have the gaps minimized ..

[eager stream]

Im not sure thats why i ask, what the best aproach is tbh

ive tried both

[sacred mortar]

Yeah.. big issue usually comes with making the choice of operations..

1. is your foundations gridded and snapped to one another?
2. Which one are you building first, rectangle or circle?
3. How many variations might you be willing to try to find out until there's answer to the problems?

And so on.. but i'm about to take a nap from exhaustion, so I bid you good luck

[eager stream]

Alr, thanks for the help

[analog rampart]

our base

[rocky schooner]

How did u get water there?

[languid tide]

if you dig below waterline near beach, you get water.

[topaz jay]

Hoelw do you go about making a base that also spawns your boats close to it? Is my base going to have to be entirely on a deep water pier?

[rocky schooner]

but its high up above the waterline on his image, did he perhaps slowly bring it up by raising the ground?

[languid tide]

foundation only makes it look like that.

[forest blaze]

To me it looks to be the same level as the ocean

Though I can see how the perspective can trick a bit

I'm totally stealing this idea at some point, who doesn't want a pirate jacuzzi

[rocky schooner]

Yea guess y'all right, I didn't look at it long enough. 😅

[stiff night]

now this is obviously not on same scale/or look given your making a nice thing in yours, but beams/pillars tend to help with the un natural corner gaps 😄 but given your wall is on a 25% or more rotation yeah might be tricky we dont have to many "special ocassion pieces" like the L plaster wall with a proper corner bend at 90 degrees

also beams and pillars you can snap a milion things to 👀 , makes for potentialy build saving moments if you need more snap points somewhere

[forest blaze]

I love how much this is also a building game, crazy the stuff you can do thinking outside the box

[stiff night]

well is a survival crafter/builder/exploration game so comes with territory 😄

give a person enough tools and they will make nutty things!

[forest blaze]

Yeah but it could easily have had a more strict and basic building system

[stiff night]

oh yeah

its very similar to valheims build system, except more snap points (that can be cycled through) where we got less in windrose atm
but its also not as limited as enshrouded (in terms of rotations at least) as there your stuck with 90 degree bends on walls for example unless you do block by block alterations to get a "pixel generated circle" given what their system is 😄

[upper narwhal]

playing arround with the triangle-pieces .. this escalated quickly.

[forest blaze]

THE BEACONS ARE LIT

[stiff night]

and things like that when we get different kind of rotations on pieces 😄

it makes for so much creativity

if we could freely turn build pieces on any angle it would be a builders wet dream more or less imo
with more snap points 😄

[forest blaze]

Someone posted a build of a huge Shark dock yesterday, was crazy impressive lol

[stiff night]

yeah ^.^

Someone needs to recreate Meleé Island

[forest blaze]

Fit for a king

[thorny sphinx]

Took me a while, but I made a smol fortification to deter them damn blackbeards off my island

[old mural]

Loved that game lol

[main quail]

Is there like no horizontal plaster or stone beams ?:(

shits ggetting harder and harder for the stuff i want to build

[stiff night]

there is this https://windrose.tools/buildings/bi-arch-pillar-t04-aea-b

but everything else is either planks/clay/timber/sticks from what i can see

is from this

[split sable]

WIP....lighthouse and storage done!

It is time @stiff night

[stiff night]

[upper narwhal]

slowly getting there 🙂

[stiff night]

something wrong with the window there? 🤔 or are they not same type?
love the build tho

[simple lagoon]

that wall is one of the most excellent for a Fort I have seen thus far 🍻

[abstract badger]

wall is clipped on top of the window

[stiff night]

yeah seem like a full wall instead of a halfwall

[lusty pike]

How….

[upper narwhal]

drafted without windows - made holes "quick" .. polish will get those errers - but tnx - good spot 🙂 allready removed 10 of those

[thorny sphinx]

Wut?

[upper narwhal]

problem is the height and the long ways with stairs ... sometimes i just dont want to run up there

[lusty pike]

I'm still tryna figure out how to make sum like that

[thorny sphinx]

Specific pointers you struggle with?

[eager stream]

Yeah ive been experimenting with that aswell, i could try to make the entire building from pillars first tho

[wheat atlas]

really loving some of the builds slowly getting there to get all the parts to build a great base...

[thorny sphinx]

Gtfo with this bs

[sacred mortar]

What do you get when you give someone like me too many ideas, enough jokes and then tell me to go wild? in case of @stiff night .. They got a hole.

[stiff night]

<@&1354821664998817822> we got a scambot/compromised account here

[rapid apex]

how do u get the tarred planks. i have a lvl3 bench and dont see them to craft

[sacred mortar]

You first need to find tar from the t3 areas.

[rapid apex]

copy

[tough bluff]

Man...

Am building my own lil pirate cove thinking its coming along nicely. Then I glance in here and see some of the truly AMAZING city/castle builds people are doing and puts my small effort to shame

[idle timber]

hehe

[sacred mortar]

Then you see @stiff night 's hole and be like ''it could be worse.''

[stiff night]

so whats up next storage room with floor boxes?
in the "hole/basement"

[idle timber]

ur always welcome to play with us on our builder server. Paid till 09/07/2027

[main quail]

anybody with some nice smithing buildings ? trying to get some inspo

[idle timber]

o yes >.> just a sec

[stiff night]

know that feeling 🤣 so many builds are bonkers!

[sacred mortar]

Still thinking on that I have idea how to make it but how to make it pretty is another beast.

[stiff night]

rip out a stone floor block, and lower the box in it? 😄

[sacred mortar]

The bottom floor is the hard surface, can't go below that.. but I can always go higher..

[stiff night]

snap off and you can still push box further down

no? 😄

worst case do a no snap floor and raise it a tiny bit or something

[idle timber]

#💬│windrose-chat message

i knew i posted them

[sacred mortar]

This corner is the big boopy.

[idle timber]

Outside forge house.

[main quail]

tyty

[idle timber]

Forge room.

yes the kiln and forges work in our walls and we roofed them right.

used chimney's to pull the smoke out the forge room its 100% smokeless down below

[sacred mortar]

@stiff night I'd say the basement build is not as far-fetched as many might think..

[stiff night]

cozy imo, just need to add something to hide the hard terrain at least 😄

cellar comfort/relaxation room? if you dont wanna do storage for example

[sacred mortar]

I do have my ideas but just needed to get that one sorted out 😄 Oh I already know what's coming here.

[pure kernel]

does anyone have a good storage build? not tooo big

[sacred mortar]

define ''not too big'' 😄

[pure kernel]

im keeping ingredients at the different stations. so i dont reaaaaally need a storage.

Its more for looks and to store building materials etc

[sacred mortar]

Try out something like that around the places, and mix ''storage'' with the deco around your house?

[pure kernel]

more like a dedicated storage room

this is my weapon and gear rooms for example

[sacred mortar]

Well, you've seen my wall of shames.. Can always downscale it.

[main quail]

this tickles a certain part of my brain

i liek the layout

[pure kernel]

more like that yes, in a smaller scale

[sacred mortar]

[pine wadi]

i did this for storage they're like lil shacks dunno if this is helpful for you or not but i split it up to keep the spaces more little

[pure kernel]

also a good option

also i like the idea of spreading out the different category of items so that its easy to find or place

[pine wadi]

yaa this is everything except food i have that in the commons but it works, and its close to the water so easy drop off when i come back just run by pushin q lol

[pure kernel]

exactly what i do

Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q

[pine wadi]

ya xD

[sacred mortar]

While I would also recommend going with the ''hut'' approach, if you're insisting on having that storagey look, this is what I would call ''mock-up toolcase''

[pine wadi]

oh this is a nice option!

[pure kernel]

this is perfect in poysen's clutter and little messy look but still organized

[pine wadi]

im actually trying to brainstorm a more overstock storage like big one i just havnt figured out how or where to encoporate that into my build yet lol

[sacred mortar]

The main factor in this is that it's mostly adjustable too, just want to make sure you have that chaotic organisation. Also I do love seein Poysen's build

[pine wadi]

thank you! ^-^ the buildign in this game is so fun

[sacred mortar]

I would never have patience to build anything like it xD well, maybe, but not to the point of detail of yours.

[pine wadi]

xD its relaxing for me to clutter haha i just put on music and kinda zone out the more clean buildign is hard for me cause i cant just jam whatever piece i want in and make it work lmao

[lavish nacelle]

Before

After

[stuck crane]

this is really nice im trying to go for this look

like clustered look

[pine wadi]

thank you! 🙂 stuff everywhere haha

[pure kernel]

This is THE best lighthouse ive seen this far in my opinion!

[stuck crane]

yeah i just dont know how to piece it altogether

been looking for inspirations here and everywhere else but i blank out when i get in game lmao

[pine wadi]

starting is hard i think lol the first parts of my build wern't placed together exactely but like the commons with all my crafting stuff and storages were the first things cuase necesity, then i just work on spots when i get inspiration for them or a need for another spot for osmething

[pine wadi]

this is so cool !

[stuck crane]

yeah im really liking the stuff i see here tho wish i was this good lol

[pine wadi]

just playing with the pieces you'll get better! the first cliffside thing i made vs the last so far is a lot different lol just keep messin with stuff you'll get it 😄

[lavish nacelle]

I think you could try copying other people’s designs first in an empty spot. After that, ideas will probably start coming naturally, and you can slowly develop your own style from it 💪

[pine wadi]

ya honestly my build tells me what it needs sometimes like where pathing should go etc now that im farther into it, walking around on it and stuff i'll be like oh i need a path here, but i dont want just a path so which thing do i want to attach to it etc

[pure kernel]

''Hey! we need to build a bridge to get to the mainland.''

''Why?! There is no water or gorges to cross?''

''Weeeell... There might be now?''

[pine wadi]

praying for you! i touched the shovel on my base once and accidentally made a hole, then spent 5 hours after fixing the terrain and now the shovel lives on my boat xD

[pure kernel]

house arrest

[pine wadi]

lol it was .. not great xD

[tawny wind]

@pine wadi gotta say every build i saw from you was a 11/10, love the base

[quaint sedge]

Absolutely incredible!!! Was a program used to add the extra detail in the After photo?

[pine wadi]

thank you so much! all a wip still haha but im really enjoying it 🙂

[eager tiger]

I hope to see a full base tour of you one day @pine wadi. Stuff looks absolutely stunning

[lavish nacelle]

Yeah, just a basic cinematic and realistic prompt in ChatGPT 😅

[pine wadi]

thank youu! ♥ i been thinking about makng one as a few people have asked to see how everything connects but i gotta lot to get sorted out still haha

[eager tiger]

Let me know if you need NPC extras to stand around and look piratety for that tour.

[pine wadi]

xD will do!

[sacred mortar]

Pfft, you know that feeling when you go asking friend ''can you draw me a picture''
''Uh.. i'm not that good'' Doodles a sketch and passes it
Takes it and stares ''This is damn mona lisa..''

That's you to some people

[pine wadi]

LOL well i doubt myself i guess xD but also a lot of my build so far has been the structures i've done a lot of cluttering ya but there's still LOADS more xD and more structures to add

[upper narwhal]

gozilla ... ^^

some of those but larger and some broken buildings could look cool

[pine wadi]

this is all of it so far minus the pier house with the gardens and i think maybe 20ish% of the cluttering is done lol

[dim cairn]

Yeah, I'll never be building anything again lmao.

[pine wadi]

what nooo lol

[pure kernel]

cluttering is SO important to make it feel full and alive tho. if not it just feels like an empty shell

[lavish nacelle]

Agree, there are so many interior inspirations we can get from your builds. I love your tavern's table, tavern's doormat, and many more @pine wadi

[sacred mortar]

Before..

[pine wadi]

ya exactely thats what i still got a lot left to do xD but where paths are conencting or i have plans i didnt clutter yet cuase i'd have to move it xD

[sacred mortar]

after..

@stiff night be happy.

[pine wadi]

thank you !! there's so much inspiration in this channel for sure i love scrolling it xD

[stiff night]

[sacred mortar]

Fun fact (and shame)

I would've wanted those crossbeams be metal..

[pure kernel]

anyone got a buldozer?

[solid veldt]

What is the best way to chimney the kiln inside a building? Every time I try I can't get the smoke out.

[sacred mortar]

Think there's a chimney built specifically for that.

Haven't tested it myself though.

[stiff night]

dident someone do a forge build just earlier built into walls
edit: this #🎨│creative message

[solid veldt]

I have all the plans and the problem is that the smoke comes out of the sides

[pine wadi]

a pergola or a structure where the base of the kiln faces inward but is exposed in the back, but it wont work with even a pillar in the way so i'd suggest placing the kiln or smelter first then buildign around it

[pine wadi]

almost done eh? xD

[pure kernel]

really close now xD

[sacred mortar]

Soo.. @pine wadi What i'm comvering Frank's hole with?

[pine wadi]

lmao

[stiff night]

its a basement not a hole

[pine wadi]

XD

a house then!

[sacred mortar]

Nah, it's Frank's hole and you know it.

[stiff night]

once you figure out whatever heck goes on top

[zealous stag]

At that point, I'd almost be tempted to grab the 'bigger shovel' mods out of curseforge or nexus. But I admire the dedication to the bit.

[pure kernel]

too dedicated to the grind

[lavish nacelle]

You need to find 7 other soldier to start dig that sand

[stiff night]

if only we could blast terrain with ship cannons 😄

[sacred mortar]

I know this sounds silly.. but it could become one of the 3..

1. tavern
2. Forge area
3. imitation of distillery

[pure kernel]

why is it like this is every playergroup i see?

'' i like building, but the people i play with dont ''

[pure kernel]

3 would be cool.
And decorate the basement with some barrels too

then its not a basement but a mancave all of a sudden

[stiff night]

feels a bit to small for a tavern imo, a small forge could work (maybe a shipwright/cannon forge) something?

if you dont have that made

distilery imo i feel lacks more assets then we currently got acess to 😄 cough placeable rum bottles etc

[pine wadi]

omg we need bottles so bad! we get 97 cup options but no booze? insanity lol

[sacred mortar]

Well you know the building i've been working before I began this.. and then there's this monstrosity I built for ''progress''

haven't used plaster ever since.

[stiff night]

better then what i had during my game "progress"

like a i think 6x6 straw floor/walls etc not even fully closed in 🤣

[pine wadi]

lol i was in the prefab hut for awhile with just my pier built before i made the commons xD

[zealous stag]

My demo house was just three pre-fabs in a row, with the walls between them busted out.
My current one isn't much better. >.>

[stiff night]

🤣 that was my stuff for "most of game" and iv not even started on actual build yet, i moved into mountains in some island and got started (then got PC issues) so not been going at it since yet

[pine wadi]

adorable ! xD

[sacred mortar]

xD When my friend decided to quit on progress and waits the new updates.. we just decided to seal his room like some tomb.

[pure kernel]

what will be in the update? does anyone know?

[sacred mortar]

stuff.

lots of stuff.

[pine wadi]

this was mine xD

[pure kernel]

i like stuff

[sacred mortar]

This was my original pier...

[pine wadi]

i mean i had a square one at the very first lol with the bell but the pier was my first time playing with the build pieces in game really xD

[sacred mortar]

then it got the expansion..

[pine wadi]

ooh i like it 😄

[pure kernel]

this was my old one before the move.
never even finished it #🎨│creative message

[pine wadi]

i like the high docks that's givin me ideas lol

[sacred mortar]

Yeah..

It's not starting to look more than just a blank room.

[pure kernel]

i did like levels up and cranes on each level to make it make sense on how stuff got there if that makes sense

[pine wadi]

can never have too much storage xD this is what i need but i have no idea how to make something like that work in my build style lol my friend im playing with is doing more plaster/stone on the other half of the island so it may end up over there

ahh ya thats cool 😄

[sacred mortar]

Yeah..

[severe tundra]

holy storage....

[sacred mortar]

Hold on..

[pine wadi]

or maybe i dig a frank hole and make storage underground lol

[stiff night]

🙈

see what you done makenra, now its getting "tracktion as" the hole type

[pine wadi]

lmao

[severe tundra]

honestly not sure whether to build a proper storehouse or just dig a hole

[sacred mortar]

1.Wall of shame V1
2. Wall of shame V2

[pure kernel]

i wish we could dig to make just a door visible from the outside and dig beneath the ground to make tunnels from castles or houses to elsewhere

[stuck crane]

thats what i've been doing lately and my roofing skills has definitely improved and structuring basic stuff out

[stiff night]

yeah if windrose had enshroudeds terrain manipulations id be in heaven "instant pirate cove dug into a mountain"

[pine wadi]

yaa the dig option is way too all or nothing it stresses me out xD if windrose had enshrouded teraforming id never leave

omg jinx LOL

[sacred mortar]

Fun fact I realised.. the stone foundation is 2 blocks deep.. but you could definetly get an 2x3 tunnel under it.

[severe tundra]

definitely needs some finer terrain manipulation

[stuck crane]

i would like to have custom pirate flags or have flags as a decoration to put in walls

[modern hill]

wip

[pine wadi]

i found a small island on my map that has a land arch with a cave under it, im sure one exists on your world too ! but ya no customize it is as it is lol

[stiff night]

pretty sure i know which one your on about yeah everyone pretty much has all same islands

[severe tundra]

also cant wait until some more options for round walls/floors get added 👀

[stiff night]

with minor variations

[severe tundra]

ooo very nice

[pine wadi]

ya just gotta find em lol

[sacred mortar]

Funny how I always begin these games..

1. progress
2. Figure how deep you can dig a hole.

[solid veldt]

No matter what I put over the kiln it says it has a roof an is inoperable. any suggestions?

[zealous stag]

A cultivator, or grass seed, to fix the desolate wasteland after using the shovel. >.>
But yeah, it's got the same terrain thing that Valheim does, that you can't make a tunnel.

[pure kernel]

a ''fill in'' function for floors that detects outer limits for example a wall would be amazing

[severe tundra]

true

[pine wadi]

this i absolutely hate what it does to the texture of the ground too it gets like wrinkled xD

[stiff night]

yup its almost exact same type of terrain manipulation, a bit shorter imo then valheim

[sacred mortar]

Yeah..

but atleast windrose has thicker walls to begin with

[lavish nacelle]

Ohh yeah i want to know about that too, how deep can we dig the ground?

[stiff night]

and rotated pieces blend better together in windrose
like a 15 degree in wr vs val is a big difference 😂

[pure kernel]

with so many similarities to other games. how do they not get bombed with legal cases for copyright issues?

because i see so many similarities and paralells to other games in this

[solid veldt]

Its just such a wide base that I don't like to just go straight up but anything over the top of it makes it unusable. I saw the smelters through the roof, but those are more narrow at the top. The kiln is killing me

[sacred mortar]

Depending on the area of the terrain, you can approx get 2 blocks deep and 2 blocks higher.

[sacred mortar]

Here's a picture of the hole before I started to deco it

[lavish nacelle]

I remember creating another new world just because i couldn’t make the ground look natural anymore after digging it T_T

[gaunt oriole]

Isn`t ready but this is my village after 40 hours. I build this alone and hope you like that. 🙂

[pine wadi]

ya i still have a spot i gotta build over becuase it was too close to the rock and just wont let me fix it so its like molded and wrinkled lol

[lavish nacelle]

Man forgot to press / before take a screenshots T_T

[pine wadi]

this is bonkers especially for 40 hours 😮

[pure kernel]

that grand entrance was 👌 🔥

[sacred mortar]

Pfft.. before I discovered this discord I was happy with 1 building oh boy was I suprised at people's creativity when i'm happy with my experience and that one plaster house.

[stiff night]

he might not have that key option depending on keyboard type, but there is a keybind for that now to change it 😄

like my nordic keyboard has it as a combo key, meaning the default key for it wont function due to having to press another key in combination to get that one 🤣

[upper narwhal]

will post before i demolish it again ..large smelting furnaces can be placed close to each other and burried deep enough can act as a walkable floor ... maybe someone can use it

[sacred mortar]

Probably closest type of decoration for that brewery idea..

[brisk ermine]

you all do amazing builds n I like looking at them n my eyes go wide when I see them.. so thank you all for sharing

[upper narwhal]

+1

[pale whale]

did bro really tag everyone?

[sacred mortar]

Yup.

[stiff night]

pretty sure its disabled

most servers have that OFF unless your a admin/moderator role

as bot/scammers etc abuse that @

[sacred mortar]

The tag is there but did it reach everybody, likely not.

[pale whale]

ah ok because i didnt get pinged

[brisk ermine]

If ur asking did I tag everyone yes for all the builders that share

[sacred mortar]

Also @stiff night I blame you.. now I have to go get more wood and stone

[stiff night]

@ "everyone" tags the entire discord @ "here" is channel specific btw (when permissions are not setup properly)

but no he did not ping anyone 😄

[simple lagoon]

tbqh, I fully expected he just tagged a user name "everyone" since thats a popular bit that folks do

[stiff night]

thats also an option 🤣

[brisk ermine]

Thought it would be only in the creative chat

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/going-down-taking-everybody-with-me-friends-matthew-perry-chandler-bing-gif-17876263

that is usually what @here is for

[pale whale]

idk why but i read your name as makarena

[brisk ermine]

OK fixed it

[sacred mortar]

You're not only one.

[pale whale]

still didnt get pinged

[sacred mortar]

yep, it's toggled off.

[stiff night]

because the permisions are set to OFF for us plebs 😄

[brisk ermine]

OK didnt know sry

[stiff night]

all good ^^ no harm done

if you want to be absolutely floored with creativity i suggest checking this out lol from JS_Gaming - https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1496427033415389294
if you keep scrolling the thread, your jaw will drop

[sacred mortar]

but yeah.. time to take a little break-ish from all this creative holedigging..

[sacred mortar]

Some people are just patient.

[stiff night]

i mean the man has 200+ something hours in that build 😄 with 3 ppl or so

[sacred mortar]

Mmhm

and those ideas didn't come from nowhere.. let alone thinking them loud

[stiff night]

oh random thought again, the new seedbeds, do they extend far down? like if you dig a hole, put floor over it, does it clip all way down to the ground?

[silk charm]

it has a bottom

[stiff night]

does extend like far tho? the initial seedbed was like "foundation block big" when i tried

[silk charm]

not really
