Slowly

[covert arch]

Looks great

[olive bluff]

it's taking a while

[covert arch]

I am sure, gathering that number of resources must be painful.

[olive bluff]

its the building that takes a while

building, tearing things down... placing them again

[zealous stag]

Boarding a lv 15 loot ship gives you like 500 pieces of eight.
Which turns into a LOT of stone or wood.
It ain't like these madlads are just going to the iron mines for their rock.

[olive bluff]

I mean there's a fleet of sacrifices right outside the bay too XD

[shell turret]

wait fr? would u mind dropping the link?

[zealous stag]

I.... honestly don't know if we're allowed to post mod content here or not, but it's on Nexus. ...I don't see it on curseforge yet.

[weary condor]

Now thats what i call a duckface picture

finally my warm bath is finished. Time to move to another island :;)

[shell turret]

I like those vibes

[weary condor]

Evening /night

me aswell, if you place 2 fires at the corners the enemy ships wont enter your domain.

[hot kettle]

hmmm thats pretty cool

@weary condor thanks for that dude

@weary condor would you like a tour ? we can share how we each did the same island 🙂

[weary condor]

sure

would be fun

have no idea how to enter yours.

[hot kettle]

ill invite you etc

[weary condor]

would be a first timer to go public

🙂

[hot kettle]

check dms

[weary condor]

dms?

lol

[hot kettle]

your discord private msgs

[weary condor]

told you

first timer

[hot kettle]

first time to discord?

[kindred zinc]

Is there a way to wipe your build quickly?

[next depot]

foundation wipe

[kindred zinc]

Kk, i did that once and my game lagged hard

[next depot]

same, I built a lighthouse, did'nt like it, tore it down, game stuttered and started piling stone and wood. do a section at a time to save your cpu.

[kindred zinc]

all my stuff is stored in one base, can I move that stuff over to a new base besides manually?

[ancient beacon]

I didn't see it in the announcement, but for the sea shanties, are we allowed to write our own? I can create some with sheet music and recording of me performing it. But I wanted to make sure first

[formal pasture]

Does anybody else kill things that are attacking you and immediately dodge away so as not to pick up the loot so as not to clutter my already cluttered inventory lol

[next depot]

you'll probably have to transfer them, though, use your ship as a backpack to help you out.

[olive bluff]

Almost finished the construction... going away for a bit

needing a bit of a break

[fluid spade]

any tips on making this cooler?

[dusk basin]

air conditioner or a fan

[formal pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/60fps-knee-slapper-spongebob-milkcord-gif-27449345

for the life of me could not get that left chair to have a straight back with no wood connector on it like the right one did. and I didn't feel like redoing the whole setup cause thats what it would have taken to fix it

[fervent flicker]

Tried to make a fort, ended up with this

Any suggestions would be nice

[pale cradle]

The Shady Governor watches from his balcony

[coral sinew]

Are you guys using mods or am I just missing that many building pieces?

[formal pasture]

I am using no mods

[zealous stag]

Most of Prognesis's mansion is rep lv 3 and 4 pieces from the People of Tortuga. The underside of the two floors looks to be marble, even. ...maybe mahogany.

[onyx mural]

My build that me and my friends are doing

[coral sinew]

Ohh, very good to know. Thank ya!

[lean hornet]

Done until we get more roof tiles. Pretty happy with the structure, even has internals!

[upper narwhal]

so random pics from framedrop island 🙂 ( more here https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500687887002505226 )

[kindred zinc]

Building in this game is so hard when youre a perfectionist 😆

[upper narwhal]

i can imagine that 🙂

[dense basin]

what de hell what a great work!

[coral sinew]

This makes me want to say such unholy words, very nice work

[upper narwhal]

tnx to both of you and i like unholy words 😉

[kindred zinc]

how do you figure out the docks so that the boats spawn properly?

[ruby tree]

Waters need to be deep enough (dredging sand wont help, the game seems to use the natural water depth for boat collison stuff), docks need to stretch out far enough - but the game also seems to like spawning them at the end of docks - there might be some coding support to make that happen, You also need to look at the spot you want the rear of the ship to spawn when you summon it.
I think they said there might be some updates for boat parking at a later update

[ruby tree]

so much detail, love the architecture style on the buildings 🙂
well done!

[quaint sedge]

Also, try to aim your cursor at the line where the sky meets the sea to increase your chances of it spawning at the spot you want

Yes I’m playing with the lyrics, but still mean what I said

[pine scroll]

Nice little Forging Area

[obsidian pilot]

So I thought I would share my build plus some little work arounds I have made to objects that are just not in the intended building such as BBQ area, Swimming pool and my take on Kitchens and Bathrooms or even Gardens. Would love to see any other creative workarounds to some aesthetic elements of peoples builds: (Also highly recommend building near sweet potato spawns for pet pigs / animal fat farm)

[coral sinew]

How are you guys making pools like this?

[pine scroll]

Enclosing already existing water 🙂

[ruby tree]

Use the shovel to dig into the ground where it can reach the water plane

[pine scroll]

That too!

[obsidian pilot]

i built near the beach but just dug up the area till i got water, started with walls so that i could snap on the tile floors, i use one of the lights to illuminate it underwater

this one

[ruby tree]

Oh! you know what might work there too? I posted yesterday some pics of placing chimneys underwater so the smoke rises to the surface.
You could add one under the hottub part to make it look steamy 🙂

[obsidian pilot]

i also found that if u build close enough to the water you can elevate your teleport pads so I have 1 in my lighthouse and one on my dock, let me grab a pic

[obsidian pilot]

i tried it with foutains but couldnt get it looking nice let me try that

[ruby tree]

ah yeah ive seen that trick 🙂

[pine scroll]

Yep! Using this as well inside my base instead of on the water directly

[obsidian pilot]

you can also use the triangle peices to make the lighthouse style swirls but it takes ages to build

making circular roofs which look good internally was really tough too:

[obsidian pilot]

OMG that was such a great idea, i used the chimney under the floor and i does just that!!

[ruby tree]

haha yess that looks good

[hearty karma]

where I keep my clothes. love that it work

[ruby tree]

<@&1354821664998817822>

[obsidian pilot]

Another discord account hacked.... dont click that please ^^

[tender sapphire]

There’s no link to click anyways i don’t even get the point of this scam going around

[hearty karma]

My farm has a dead guy in front of it. Any ideas I should do to it

[ruby tree]

Add a tombstone, or build like a little coffin around it

You can make it the center piece of a creative room, dig things out and make it look like its on a table, died mid-surgery and left there.

Or build a UFO over it, so its like they're dropping off a failed abduction experiment XD

[hearty karma]

Here lies Farmer Jon. He shall be missed.

[ruby tree]

ah but now hes hidden, leave the top broken off so liek grave robbers got to him lol

[hearty karma]

what a good way to texture my base?

[upper narwhal]

wooden or stone beams, zones that look like they got hit, balcony, some of the things i did .. if with texture you mean break the large monotone areas ..

[ruby tree]

windows that stick out, or tiny houses mashed into the sides of it and supported by beams,
just add some dimension

[simple sleet]

Where do you get the cannon decorations ?

[tame lantern]

From pirates 🏴‍☠️ to Dark Souls i lub dis game

[next depot]

mIlitry decorations can spawn anywhere, though if your after the biome, I'm sure it's the foothills.

[warm fjord]

Does anybody know of a mod that allows you to manually place dropped items?

[scenic frost]

Weapon mounts would be neat

[strange python]

Have you guys built your Hobbit log house yet? I still have to furnish the interior.

[hard oak]

No, cuz it wouldn’t be a hobbit house

But try and show us what u got 🙂

[regal basalt]

Wanted to know if i can get him in there and he did after a few tries lol

[olive bluff]

Right so the shovel lets you lower and raise land
Who want sto help me flatten these islands below sea level and raise up ones where they need to be to make a 1:1 scale of the Caribbean taken from historical maps?

[devout token]

i will 100% yoink this

I just found out that the crowsnest are solid ish.

[brazen canyon]

Yes they be nice log homes

[brazen canyon]

Oh nice good to know

[brazen canyon]

new project: Dead emerald lagoon ( tryna build so the undead do keep spawning in proper but fully safe and out of reach of the resort area)

[formal pasture]

Is there any use for ash at the moment? I completely forgot it was a thing bc I made so much Charcoal in the beginning I havent needed to make more.

[ornate flax]

yeah, you use it to make gunpowder

[formal pasture]

Ah makes sense. I collected so much gunpowder, I never needed to make any! lol

[wanton imp]

The Old Man and The Sea. Was fishing for that illusive smasher, and caught a rainbow instead.

[formal pasture]

When I first started playing, I dont know why but I totally thought I was gonna have to make all the cannonballs I was gonna use. Could you imagine having to make every cannonball 😩

[olive bluff]

tbh its an honest assumption sinc you have to make bullets and gunpowder yoruself

[brazen canyon]

I thought so too xD

[olive bluff]

i was dreading having to make the gunpowder for the cannons tbh

[brazen canyon]

That would be so bad xD big batches of gunpowder for cannons

Would take 50 ash 30 sulfur one shot haha

[olive bluff]

yea. cannonballs you can manage cus stone is a thing aand copper is quite easy buuut gunpowder?

frigates would be hella expensive to run

[brazen canyon]

That would give good ol mortar joe a job to do tho haha

[olive bluff]

well it would give you a reason to choose your fights carefully

[brazen canyon]

That too for sure

[olive bluff]

and ship choice too

though at some point I wish that the AI boats would do a risk assessment before attacking you... 3 gunboats picking on a frigate is suicide

[brazen canyon]

Me when realising id be out of gunpowder mid battle at that point

[olive bluff]

im so over sliding from fight to fight cus the local patrol of cutters saw a 40 gunner and decided to attack it

[formal pasture]

Youd have to equate for storage of those cannonballs too

since theyd be items that take up a slot

[brazen canyon]

Ngl might be an option to add into hardmode tho

[olive bluff]

would be an itnteresting hard mode requirement instead of just increasing the healthbars of ships true

[brazen canyon]

Forcing ye to actually play strategic in hardmode seems like fair game

[olive bluff]

mhm

i hate the, har mode is more damage you take. less you deal and the boss is harder to kill cus more health

[raw tangle]

finished my Plaguelands treehouse with decorations. i'll post more photos in the media-sharing channel should anyone want to take a further look

[pallid scaffold]

sunrise at my base

[runic pivot]

Still getting everything ready but here's the progress so far

[stiff adder]

craaaazy anytime i try something i get unstable errors :/

[formal pasture]

Coffee should be sellable.

I have way too much of this sheee

[shell turret]

can I live there? this is hands down beautiful

[pallid scaffold]

Thank you :D

[formal pasture]

Thinking about doing the Ancient Amphitheater of Epidaurus as my next project

[runic pivot]

I usually like stamina/health foods so coffee is one of my go-to's

[formal pasture]

Agility based crit build here. Tacos and Gazpacho for me

[runic pivot]

I'm doing precision with ROAC, but use the foods to make up the difference so I don't get 1 shot lol

[formal pasture]

I kill stuff too quick to take too much damage. only times it gets hairy are when boarding ships cause its tight spaced and i cant dodge in and out as well

most the time my enemies only get 1 chance to attack and then they dead

[runic pivot]

the amount of times I have bailed back to my own ship to heal and avoid a mob 🤣

[ruby scroll]

the number of times i get stunlocked because i ran away to heal and they chased me and i forgot i could jump back on my ship.

[runic pivot]

rip mans

[weak pebble]

Seeing the plague treehouse, i wanted to share my "Wizard's Tower" (really wish we had a camera mode)

[formal pasture]

The exchange rate for gold to silver is preposterous!

"Hey can I get a 20$ bill for these 20 ones?" hands you a twenty. "oh my bad, heres that 20 back, I actually need the ones." "Oh, well here's the thing. you can only have 8 dollars back"

[velvet pine]

thats my small holydayresot 🙂

[vale yew]

they should consider a new enemy faction of the Royal Navy to compete against in ship warfare.

[formal pasture]

the Royal navy was obliterated by Blackbeard

[vale yew]

or were they? 👀

[formal pasture]

lol someone posted a self made faction sheet with like 4 factions that they had made up, and one of them was Remnants of the Royal Navy. A "small" fleet that had survived

[narrow gust]

My respawn point is complete it's gotten a little out of hand

[coral needle]

🐵 🐒 🍌 🍌

[raven tendon]

should i do a tour of this place so far lol? i tried to get in my ship to have a higher view but it's really hard to snhowcase the scale of this place. it's a minas tirith inspired build that took over the entire island (:

[narrow gust]

The Fortress is also done

[hard oak]

Yay love me some wrecks

[drowsy latch]

jesus yall are creative

made a square hut and called it a day

[narrow gust]

if the square hut serves your needs than that's all you need 👍

[drowsy latch]

it serves my needs but not my wants

like i dont want a fortress like that

my pc couldnt handle that but something that looks decent. Im lacking the creativity tho

[scenic spindle]

Derp be careful with ur ship cannons close to your city XD

[narrow gust]

i found a lot of ideas on this discord to help me improve with details

[brazen canyon]

slowly dead emerald lagoon becoming something

[drowsy latch]

someone know a good island for a building spot

[brazen canyon]

every island

[drowsy latch]

im at the starter island still but dont know where to go

[brazen canyon]

id say just look around as everyones islands look different

poi's look the same but the islands they on are different shapes

[drowsy latch]

yeah gotta look into it at some point

[storm dew]

They are pretty much all the same shape with varying differences, it all depends on what you want for an island

[ionic crag]

Short vid i made of a Tavern Build i did (Forgot to turn off UI...Fail)

If I walk into that base I'm expecting to see dr hook....[queue diney music]. Great looking base.

[dreamy forge]

Old castle 🏰 ⚒️ (WIP)

[vale fox]

reminds me of kings landing

[raven tendon]

the place is huge lol, it's the entire island + sea wall

i've been working on it a week and i've barely made progress it feels like

[vale fox]

you’re working on it on your own?

its massive

[raven tendon]

i have my SO gathering materials so that helps a lot

[vale fox]

LOL thats the way it should he

be*

[raven tendon]

i did finish my mansion area though

at the very top

[oak cipher]

This is comin' along quite nicely I think

[upper narwhal]

Someone has to repair the hundreds of cannons 🙂 (more from Framedrop-Island https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1500687887002505226 )

[raven tendon]

where did the chains come from?

[upper narwhal]

they come with the chandeliers

[raven tendon]

oh, maybe i didnt unlock that...

[upper narwhal]

i think it was not a buyable blueprint but was on the shipwreck islands ..

[raven tendon]

ahhh

[upper narwhal]

check windrose tools ... search chains .. check maps ..

hopefully the location is in the database allready

[raven tendon]

my brain: > KE, HIE

[upper narwhal]

reminds me on this one 🙂 https://www.andreas-hanke.de/restaurant-carlos-schwerte hope it is ok to post

they build a ship and made a restaurant out of it

Miniature pirate city for all of the towns kids to play with, just sticks, wooden blocks from carpentry scraps, and toy ships. Even has a little lighthouse

[slate widget]

Hi guys here some of my builds ☺️🙌

[brazen canyon]

Dead emerald lagoon wip

[slate widget]

@brazen canyon reallynice ☺️

[brazen canyon]

tyty i see u made some cool stuff aswell ^^

the hardest part on my build rn is keeping the zombs from destroying my work XD

[slate widget]

Hahaha

[brazen canyon]

superdoom actually kinda inspired me with his rivertown

[formal pasture]

this is so sick!

[ruby tree]

cool skull base!!!
this deserves some quality screenshots 🙂
It looks like you're using a phone?
You can hide you UI by pressing the /? button beside right-shift. And hide your character by placing your back against a (temporary) wall.
Then use PrintScreen or SnippingTool to grab a screenshot, or F12 to use the Steam Apps screenshot function

[slate widget]

@ruby tree yes thx haha yes i use my phone i will do better screenshots thx for the info ☺️

[formal pasture]

depending on how deep those trees are in the water, you might think about planting shrubs around the base. I've found it makes it flow more naturally

[brazen canyon]

ill try it

the water is not as deep everywhere

[formal pasture]

I started doing it on all mine and im much happier with it than them just sticking out the water

[ruby tree]

Oh and you can hide chimneys underwater so the smoke rises to the surface to simulate mist or steam. Like one under the fountain might make it look misty

[formal pasture]

I ran out of shrub seeds tho lol

[ruby tree]

shrub seeds are so rare lol

[formal pasture]

I know the bushes to go after. I can usually gather like 20 in about 10 -15mins

[brazen canyon]

rlly? i get those more than palm and ficus

[formal pasture]

I havent narrowed down which trees give the ficus seeds yet. those seem like the rarest

i mean like specific appearance type

[brazen canyon]

That said i rarely farm with an axe anymore since merchants are much much easier

[formal pasture]

I want you all to know that this me shamelessly pandering for laughs

Aaaarrrr-ry Potter!

[slate widget]

It seems that the bigger trees have more chance to drop seeds

[ruby tree]

Stone-lined garden pathways, using stone stair corners sunk into the ground

[formal pasture]

How? I dont see placeable rocks like this anywhere

[formal pasture]

You know I even though about that but i didn't think you could make em go underground like that. Neat! thanks for that

[ruby tree]

haha you know I got tricks up my sleeve 😉

[formal pasture]

always do

[zealous stag]

z and scroll wheel to make it go up and down. (But it can be REAL HARD to delete them if they're sunk in the ground or a cliffside.) Edit: Or I couldn't see the giant red arrow pointing to it on the first pic. >.>

[ruby tree]

lol yeah theres a bunch I cant get rid of now, theyre permanent features

[formal pasture]

dig around it until you can?

[ruby tree]

ah yeah but then the terrain will be deformed where i might want it to stay natural

[formal pasture]

ah gotcha

[ruby tree]

There should be a shovel option to "Restore" original landscape

[formal pasture]

right! it never does go back just the way you want it

[ruby tree]

A couple more moonlight shots of Rivertown, the entire river is filled i now, and all thats left are a few details on the ends, and maybe some deco on the docks

[formal pasture]

The mansion is finally finished! the inside is completely furnished. now time to work the area around the house. time for some gardening!

im gonna line the walls with beans, give it somewhat a look of vines

[ruby tree]

You can make some lattice with just the thin beams, and maybe stick some of the potted plants in the walls so some of the foliage is poking out too.

so you can make it look like its growing all up the wall.

[formal pasture]

im trying to think how to make that work without it looking bad on the inside

[ruby tree]

sacrafice some of the wall space and close if off from the rest of the interior 🙂

Itll just look like the walls are thicker there

[formal pasture]

oh god

idk bout that

[ruby tree]

lol well whatever you come up with then

you dont have to listen to me XD

[formal pasture]

the amount of work that would take. dear god. im done being inside that house lmao

I want to be in the sunlight!

[brazen canyon]

Whats a teeensy tiny bit more (200h later)

[hard marsh]

I added a church to my spanish port 🙂

[lucid pasture]

179 HOURS LATER - Made a massive haven for pirates! Hope you get some build ideas from this, and have a great weekend! 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr87Mf9rFP8

[ruby tree]

Details everywhere! Well done!
Hide your UI next time though with the /? button! 🙂

[hard marsh]

Thank you for that!!

[ruby tree]

You can also press your characters back against a (temporary) wall to hide them too, since it pushes the camera forward. Get you some clean shots heheh

I like how you switched between night and day while running through town haha,nice touch

[lucid pasture]

Thank you so much! Really wanted to make the place feel lived in and not empty - But it took alot of time by myself. 🙂 For not getting everything right with the UI and stuff, i´ll blame that i´m in my 40´s. 😄
Yeah, thought it would look cool to have both day and night in the video. 🙂

[ruby tree]

haha dont worry, so am I! lol
A lot of the little tricks are openly shared here though, dont be shy to ask for even the small things

[wild hemlock]

Pls tell me u have a youtube?

[hard oak]

How ya doing today?

[sacred mortar]

Been taking a break from windrose, but might take a weekend of privateering and bootyseizing so I can get mats for more stuff how you been?

[brazen canyon]

I do not actually , but I'm flattered u think Im good enough for it

[sacred mortar]

Don't downsize the creativity.. You've seen the flow people admit to creative ways to make their own bases shine out

[main quail]

anyone got any neat windmills? trying to figure out how to build the blades so i can complete my farm

[sacred mortar]

you can search the channel for windmills there are quite a few creative ones.

I am new on this server and absolute fascinated by all those pretty builds, so i wanted to share my little "Swimming Pool" like build 😄

Have a good Treasure Hunt 🙂

[worthy wigeon]

Add crane, large waterwheel, sawmill and also an ancient tower for the passage route https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1503379894824861806

[hard oak]

Whats going on here? 🤣

[hot kettle]

looks like its a collection of shipwrecks turned into a building?

maybe some sort of steampunk design?

[worthy wigeon]

The build isn’t fully steampunk, but it has a similar vibe

[worthy wigeon]

Of course, that’s part of the reason, but basically it’s more like an infrastructure for shipbuilding

[hot kettle]

i am going to use beems only and make a plane 🙂

[worthy wigeon]

Plane? You mean an airship?

[red grove]

Current project. So far, just the facade—but hey, the souvenir shop has cigars.

[umbral juniper]

From a pirate game people starting doing cyberpunk stuff 🙂

[hot kettle]

basicly a twin engine floaty thing in the sky:)

if i use the small thin beams and make the plane big enough from a distance it should look like the plane is flying

cause you want see the small thin beams

but youll see the main plane

id love for them to add rope as a decoration

[lean hornet]

Coming a long

[sly condor]

MANY hours of farming and at least 10 just building later. im starting to get somewhere

its different if you see those full size

but I can pack those into one message for next time

[olive bluff]

The building itself is complete... Awaiting decorating

[chrome flare]

"squished", it puts them in a slide show format if you click one 😉

[versed sequoia]

Wait you could get different tips of pets other than truffles

[shell turret]

croc but it doesnt work yet

[tribal sequoia]

Quick update one my Spanish Mansion compound

[hot kettle]

i think windrose should audition us builders and take the best to create the next town for update:)

lots o talant in this channel

[next depot]

there sure is, there are many such amazing bases and people. I hope there will be more building pieces and building facias when the ashlands open bringing another wave of creative projects.....though I do still think we are missing the 64° triangular roof piece.

[raven tendon]

have they said anything about what will happen to existing worlds when we get update? like will we need to start a new world to get the new areas/updates?

i would hate to spend 100's of hours on a project then have to leave it behind to see new content...

[twilit ridge]

new building coming along nicely

[hardy sparrow]

not just 64°...a ton of rooftiles is missing, for myself, badly could use 13° pedimets and eaves fascade tiles, along with proper gables... ^^

thats the Hacienda result with 26° roofs

[raven tendon]

you have wall gaps under the roof tips D:

[hardy sparrow]

thats what i meant with, need proper gable tiles...

[raven tendon]

oh, but you can just...do it without special tiles? i do it all the time

[hardy sparrow]

hmmm, i tried a lot, nothing worked..
it has width 6, and 1 ramp with 26° needs 2 paces

[raven tendon]

knock out the square walls below it, so you can snap a triangle to the roof that overlaps with the already existing triangles, then you can replace the tiny recatangle gap that appears by putting a 1x1 tile then dragging upwards into the gap

it'll look like this half way through

then just drag from below to finish the gap

somentimes you can get the snap without the drag but i found it's a bit annoying

[hardy sparrow]

well, i'd appreciate a solution with some less manual placement for every gap ...at least for the roofs ^^
and 13° pediments are so much missing... ^^#

really hope, Kraken delivers some more building parts before Ashlands 😄

[raven tendon]

i guess i got used to it lol, i havnt minded it , and i've never tried 13 degree rooves yet

[hardy sparrow]

i tried this

[real orbit]

interior of our skull building is almost done, turned out to be some kind of church!

more of the base heeere ( https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1505913208719016038 )

[raven tendon]

this gives off major church/cult vibes

the beam design is so cool

[next depot]

I think our solo bases will be kept as it;s stored locally, though I think the server bases will be wiped, buuuut, I cant be entirely sure as the update may require a full wipe of the full game.......if it is then don't worry about it, use this time as practice.

[next depot]

I'll try to put a bug notice to notify kraken.

[raven tendon]

i'm converting an entire island into a minas tirith style build lol idk if i'd wanna count all that as practice

[formal pasture]

This is incredible! What a build

[next depot]

offfft, I've built a humble fort (Covenant Cove) still much to do to it. I've played other games which useualy only require server side build to be wiped.

[next depot]

legit

[raven tendon]

idk if this really conveys the scale lol

that's just trying to show the height's, it's an entire circle around the island

[next depot]

offffft, impressive base. I see what your saying. Let us hope it is server side they wipe and not the solo.......is that local or server based your fort?

[raven tendon]

it's local

[next depot]

So were in this together. As I say, the other games I've played in alpha only wiped the server side bases, not the local, but, I'll delve down and ask around.

idea: undead ship raid against our bases, a few foot soldiers which spawn outside around the base and a few ships which attempt to damage our base from the sea?

[zealous stag]

Yeah. The devs said they don't want to have any wipes during EA a few times. I think it's even in the FAQ somewhere. But they didn't make any promises.

[next depot]

@raven tendon did'nt even have to ask......Thanks waffle

[raven tendon]

i'm scared

[next depot]

dont be, fear is an illusion, your mind running rampant to scenarios that have only been imagined and not played out.

[zealous stag]

They had a wipe from Alpha to the Demo, and the Demo to EA, but we're hopefully in the clear from here on out.

[versed sequoia]

mostly finished my little industrial ward

[wintry quail]

🇹🇷

[raven tendon]

i like so much of this except the fireplace not being connected through the building to a chimney lol

[wintry quail]

hahaha you are right !

[raven tendon]

:D i went so far as to go all the way through my second floor too and out the roof lmao. i even connected two chimney pipes together in my attic ...

[wintry quail]

I did the same thing, yes haha

[vale fox]

maximum accuracy

[raven tendon]

accuracy is my favourite thing

[vale fox]

i hope they add different “bonfire” options in future updates

[raven tendon]

that'd be nice lol, i also wish we could overlap them...it's a pain so far to get my bonfires accurately around an entire island city

[vale fox]

i think theres a mod to expand range

and it expands it by a lot

[raven tendon]

i'm doing co op but non server so that doesn't really help rn :(

[vale fox]

u can install mods on co op games, it just goes under a different folder

[raven tendon]

don't both need it tho?

[vale fox]

no it applies it to everyone

i have co op as well w some mods

and haven’t had any issues

[raven tendon]

oh, that's neat, but my SO doesn't really mod, and it's her world

[vale fox]

oh i see

[upper narwhal]

the bonfire-range is for what exactly? i can remove it and place it 10 meters to the left .. why is this ingame and i have to do it when i am on a high tower and the fire sits exactly at its base ..? the bonfire should prevent the spawn of some things in its area - but not limit or complicate building because you are out of range of your mainhub of storrage.

or i want an option to move all my storrage from 1 "hub" to another with a click .. not running arround or using 30 shiploads for major time i could spent on something fun

[upper narwhal]

"watching" discord while building the new pc 🙂

[upper narwhal]

I should take a very small island as 2nd project if the 1st one is "full" ... feels like you have to plan more, also use the space smarter and that may lead to better buildings and more dense, natural grown visual - not just filling space because there is enough.

[shell turret]

Thats what I did. First I made like a starting camp that is rather compact and now I am working on my second base. The one you see in the pics above

[serene nebula]

mc escher would be proud

[robust stream]

Which walls/beams are those?

Oh thinik its Timber and Clay walls

[raven tendon]

help, i knocked out all my torches in the scaffolding area now i cant remember the way out

[coral sinew]

Looks like a horror scene

[raven tendon]

trueeee lol

theres 3 layers of this nightmare too

[coral sinew]

Oh my

[raven tendon]

holy crap i found a way out

one section of black was slightly different colour black lol

it's so hard to keep track of my storage when i'm having to jump between 5 different bonfires >_<

I can post here my ai windrose art? I long working on then after generation

some have posted AI at times, but imo i would not it gets generaly frowned upon id say 😄
not sure if their stance on it has changed, but asuming it has NOT since pins are there.

Here better screenshots of some of my builds thx @ruby tree for the advise for the screenshots

[coral mist]

Creative minds of Windrose! I request your assistance as a humble beginner builder

I'm trying to build an area for the forges/kilns. What sort of structure would fit the time period of the game? I just don't want to have the forges thrown on a line in the open y'know?

[upper narwhal]

sitable cockpit for the crane-test 🙂 or maybe i kill the upper part and make a beacon of it

My new project, a mini-city port
This is one of the buildings that I made.

[ruby tree]

Are these horizontal chains? Or curtain rods?

[upper narwhal]

2x 2 curtain rods to make them thicker .. a cannon for the wheels of the moving crane boom? no clue if thats the right word

[stiff adder]

anyone got a recommendation on island types to make home base?

[novel flume]

gazebo

[ruby scroll]

if you like scenery id say a foothills base on the coast near a cliff area, and build your base with the flow of the land. Id also suggest an island near the center of the ocean map if you like to sail everywhere rather than fast travel.

[novel flume]

smugglers island is amazing for a base

My small, humble house that I built.

[ruby tree]

alright @frosty kraken heres finally a few pics of that little garden and barn 🙂

[wind copper]

love the style

[wind copper]

What is it that you can hang from the crane

[wind copper]

wow....

[olive bluff]

thx. it took a while

[wind copper]

did you use the stone floors to give it that definition

this part

[olive bluff]

yeah. they're 3 normal walls high btw

the entire wall and the base of all major structures is foundations

[wind copper]

gotchya I love castle building and you given me some ideas now lmao

thats sick

[olive bluff]

well its an easy way to build relatively quickly and get the bulk a castle wall needs

[wind copper]

Ive been just using limestone atm

[olive bluff]

that's fair. you get more flexibility doing it tht way

[wind copper]

this is my most recent pic, but i have been tryna get that extra layer look but didnt know the best way

[olive bluff]

usimg foundations is a bit more limiting due to the height considerations

[wind copper]

i like how you use the reed roofs instead of clay got a cool color pallete

[wind copper]

Yeah thats what they need to fix is the foundation heights

because i wanna use them for docks but they are to short and its weird to stack them

[olive bluff]

id use slate if i had it plus im not a fan or the 26 degrees roofs either

[wind copper]

If slate was possible id recreate ireland

famine era homes would be sick to build

[olive bluff]

id like some more 45 options too but for now that doesn't seem to be the case.

[wind copper]

I am feining for more building sets

[wind copper]

yeah especially trying to make old english style houses

need. more. beams.

[olive bluff]

that too

[wind copper]

Do you use mods?

[olive bluff]

yeah

[wind copper]

Do you have a way of saving your worlds so if they corrupt you can fix em

[olive bluff]

i like the base game support requirement.... until i tried building on water

[wind copper]

exactly 😭

[olive bluff]

wanted a wall closing half the entrance to a lagoon and could easily use piers for the foundations but couldn't put my foundations down

[wind copper]

Even using beans doesnt help

[olive bluff]

not that i remember

[wind copper]

i think there are mods for water building limits

[olive bluff]

my main problem is that i cannot dive and build underwater. i'd've been more than happy to do that instead

[wind copper]

I hope to god we get underwater building/exploration

[olive bluff]

like i LOVE the base game building system except for the water building limitations

ill add support to structures no problem.... if i can build without restrictions

[ruby tree]

I think they want to prevent the player from building out too far offshore so as not to interfere with npc ships too much

[fading flume]

If you watch Let'sGameItOut, Josh tests the limits of how far you can build out.

[olive bluff]

i meam i can test those myself and have done so to some extent. and there's mods

[fading flume]

Of course, but it's also fairly entertainingly stupid

[olive bluff]

i care more about not being able. to. dive amd build underwater. so that way i can support a structure properly.

[fading flume]

I'm used to Valheim rules so...

[olive bluff]

true. but it is mice being able to build ground up in that regard cis you can plan framins and supports which end up in the fknal build than having to think how to break the plain shape up to make it interesting to look at

[fading flume]

Might be able to dig raise some stuff but the underwater seems to end up with no bottom eventually

[olive bluff]

evem if its the island? like the island is a c shape with a smaller island inside

[fading flume]

I mean far out to sea

[olive bluff]

all i wanted was to do this

[fading flume]

That looks doable

[olive bluff]

amd there's shore further left

couldn't get stone foundations to take support off of piers for the life of me

[fading flume]

I've got a little cove that has rocks that stick out

Might just be finding the right island

[olive bluff]

it is done now amd so os the castle behind it. now to unlock the cannons and plaster them everywhere

[frosty kraken]

That's a proper resting place for truffle

[fading flume]

yeah I got these here right by my place

Nice bit of support if I wanted to build out

[latent crescent]

yo this looks sick can u show the rest of it as well idk if u have already

[ruby tree]

sure, which angle did you wanna see?

[latent crescent]

the castle was very hidden

[ruby tree]

ohhh the rest of it all! haha
This is part of Rivertown - a whole mini city ive been working on since release, most of my posts in this channel are from it 🙂

If you search my name to see my posts, you can quickly find all the good stuff

[latent crescent]

i will ty

[ruby tree]

Im gonna do a full picture and video release of the build when im done, and probably host or share the world file too

But here's a little somethin-somethin at least

[sly condor]

ai slop

[formal glacier]

My bad not everybody's is born with artistic talent and can draw like a professional and to insecure for other people to use a TOOL Where's your flag bud? And instead just insulting people like if you can draw as well as I'm assuming you you think you can you know offer to draw them one

[ruby tree]

Me: Cracks knuckles, opens GIMP.

[hardy sparrow]

uuuh, sweet perspective... 😄

[sly condor]

i am an art major so yes i can draw pretty well. everybody can learn to paint and draw if they have the will to do so. but sure if you are willing to compensate me for time and skill then id love to be replacing ai use

[hardy sparrow]

hmmm...difficult, this ai discussion always is....
i think, using ai to compesate skill is ok, its still creative....but ai art should be honestly flagged as ai art 😉

[sly condor]

nobody is expecting anyone to "draw like a professional" because who is to judge what is professional. what matters is the human experience and the effort put into something. what you do when you use ai is like saying "im a chef" and this is what you are serving

[ruby tree]

AI should be fine to generate things like texture samples or decals, but an actual artist should just be using those as pieces to assemble their own final product rather than deferring the entire effort to the prompter. :/

[sly condor]

or use real reference art or photos or their own eyes and memories to make something

[ruby tree]

and/or

[sly condor]

i literally spent 150 seconds in microsoft paint to recreate your slop

with mouse

no erasing

like

its easier than you think, you just have to get yourself to do it

[ruby tree]

Heres my "Windrose" design so far, thoughts?

[sly condor]

apart form some anatomical things with shapes that can be explained away with a stylization its great

[empty thunder]

Very cool

[ruby tree]

lol yeah I felt like the cheekbones might be a bit puffy lookin or something

[sly condor]

this part is lacking depth, but again it can be ignored with style

and eyesockets are oval vertically

[ruby tree]

But looking up actual old pirate flags - pirates didn't seem to have careers in art, so the bar shouldnt be high

[sly condor]

true, they werent supposed to be detailed, you were supposed to be able to see what it was from a few KM away

[ruby tree]

ah well I was going for a bit of a skull tilted back angle

[sly condor]

yeah and its good work, but this is what i meant with it being oval vertically

the more tilted back a circual shape gets, the flatter it gets

theres hundreds of different perspective guides to find online

[next depot]

stunning, again, truly well done Doom

[sly condor]

yeah its true. me and my friend was staring at it for a long time just in awe

[ruby tree]

haha thank you!!:)
I think the town is nearly done

[brazen canyon]

Ayy deffo share the file i need to run around there n steal all your sweeet sweet building tchniques for cerulean end hahaha

[ruby tree]

hahaha yess

[next depot]

next? dont tell me a pirate castle that looks like Cinderella's castle 😆

[ruby tree]

you know I did want to make more of a grand castle next. or something tall

Rivertown just has like a little chateau estate more than a full castle.

[next depot]

I'll get the popcorn ready....looking forward to it tbh.

[ruby tree]

Maybe something like the Wizard Tower I made in Ark (the one on my youtube channel)

[brazen canyon]

No das my build xD

[next depot]

Good design......this as mine from the last comp. I entered too late for people to vote, but had fun making it.

[ruby tree]

lol is that the fishing lure??

[sly condor]

isnt it one of the talismans you can trade in?

[ruby tree]

ahh thats it!!!

youre right 🙂

wait a second... do we get better fish if we have a talisman in our inventory?

[brazen canyon]

Hmmmm

Good question

Based on flavor text ud think so innit

[next depot]

bingo you got it. 🙂

[ruby tree]

the fishermans ring only gives 15%

[next depot]

probably get eaten by a shark......[sends talisman back to sender]

[next depot]

up grade it on the jewelry bench

[hardy sparrow]

no....need the fishermen ring...with that, 30% chance to catch 2 fish with 1 throw

that talisman is just for sale to the smugglewrs

[ruby tree]

ahh yeah ok i just upgraded it 🙂
Forgot I had gotten the next station upgade recently

Ok so the talisman is just a lie then. That's fine 🙃

Or my character just doesn't count as an ancient fisherman

[hardy sparrow]

need to cath every type of ish at least once for that...
but this should be a discussion for general of help, not creative 😉

[next depot]

it's just a prop used for selling, though it really would be a comical gimik if Kreken impliment a chance of sharks to come after you.

[brazen canyon]

Mah we had bursts of helpfulness here

On another note anyone got ideas in what i should add to cerulean end? Got a massive castle ,town pools ,pool and rich area , and am busy on an observatory (if ill ever figure out how the heck imma make a telescope xD)

If anyone got ideas on the telescope also pls share xD

[ruby tree]

Oh darnit youre one step ahead of my ideas lol
The castle or tower I want to make next was gonna have one of those!
I had submitted a custom island to a contest in Aloft and won, they added the observatory I made to the official game!
I do have an idea though...

You can just use a bunch of angled beams and line them up in an angled circle - using a row of angled thick beams as their base.

[brazen canyon]

Wanna look around on my island later maybe ? I can send u the file later so u can look around n help think

The one currently uploaded in media share pretty outdated

[ruby tree]

ah maybe you could host it and i could visit, no rush thoug

[brazen canyon]

Id love that tbh

I should be home n good to go in about 2 ish hours I think

[terse raft]

Here some screen shot of the port town I created in the game I used a mod that doubles the bonfire area and a mod that adds a cutter you can build. I figured some people may want to see what i did, I unfortunately don't have all the light sets set you can get but will add what I can once get them because the streets are a bit dark ATM

[ruby tree]

hey not bad 🙂
You can hide your UI with the /? button beside Right-Shift, and hide your character by pressing their backs against a (temporary) wall.
Get you some quality screenshots

[terse raft]

I wish there was a photo mode hopefully they will add it in the future but I will keep that in mind and get a few more once I add the lighting I want.

[ruby tree]

all the clean pics I post are without photo mode, just using the 2 tricks i mentioned 😉
You can also speed through the time of day while laying down in a bed, so you can get the environmental lighting you want

[tawdry geode]

One does not simply give up, when you just waste your day because you miss calculate...

[next depot]

that's a nice take on Minas Tirith.....what tree you planting?

[tawdry geode]

gonna start over again since i Miscalculated from the start 😢

[next depot]

We game and we learn. Keep going, it will look good.

that's a very kind of you sire

you're indeedibly welcome, tip of the hat to you good sir 😁

[low fog]

what you guys thing for my flag submission?

unfortunately its not "handmade" as it's on my tablet

[frosty meteor]

Every good pirate camp needs a latrine.

[sacred jay]

How does one use that latrine

[simple lagoon]

ai is literally banned from both the flag competition and this channel - regardless of anything else, you should follow the rules of the place you're in

[simple lagoon]

ask not questions you do not want the answer to 💀

[blissful canopy]

ahaha it's a good idea to poop on a chair when there's a toilet nearby ))

[frosty meteor]

Only way I could figure out how to get a character to sit over the hole. Meshing prevents you from just sinking a chair into the hole. It's not recognized as a place to sit at a certain point.

[sacred jay]

Pirates poop standing and pee sitting, duh

[blissful canopy]

they pee while sitting and then board ships with their wet asses

without negativity ))

[frosty meteor]

Anyone have any good methods for building dormer windows? The roofs in this game give me the vapors.

[hardy sparrow]

so, it's AI constructed....then should flag it like that 😉

[low fog]

well no i drew it it's just on my tablet not a hand made item

[hardy sparrow]

well, if its not AI then sorry, sort of looked like...diffrence is hard to tell these days 😉

[low fog]

it's not a physical item

hard to say if that's a compliment XD

i used a gpt as a ref thats it

[hardy sparrow]

so true..

Ai grows fast...and becomes better by the day...

[low fog]

100% i use it to get ideas then flow with my own style

[hardy sparrow]

well, so honest feedback...flag looks good, just uses a bit too much color gradient, for that era 😉

[low fog]

so flatter more 2 colors

[simple lagoon]

got the windrose oriented perfectly vertical with the canvas, rather than aligned with the angle of the flag - just wondering whether there's a meaning behind that? 👀

[low fog]

not really just just drew it from a nautical compass ref and didn't orientate it. but good point would probably make more sence to follow the lines!! good thing i didnt submit it

[brazen canyon]

I love your mindset

[low fog]

gonna draw one for my storm themed ships later

[low fog]

thanks i'm all about digital art and love it but if a contest says diy item i kind of think physical

[brazen canyon]

i doubt many think the same

I hope ull never change xD the world need more people like this

[low fog]

XD im 33 so nm changing now hahahah

[pure kernel]

being a solo gathering ressources is such a pain in the @$$

[simple lagoon]

a little - but once you accept using the Merchant Contracts, and setup a 2nd Resource World so you're not just having to demolish the world you actually build it, its not SO bad

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1065403799105192026.webp?size=40

[latent crescent]

i join on a server with like 10x ressource drop

to farm for my solo world

[hot crystal]

I don't get why some of the natural resources don't respawn

Metals do. Why don't trees? Even if it's slower

[pallid scaffold]

Rebuild my Docks. Gonna take a break now :D

[simple lagoon]

regular trees (Ficus and Palm) do not grow back unless you plant seeds yourself
Divi Divi and Plaguewood do grow back, but only in sporadic patches, not always
Tarwood should grow back, but players have mixed reports

[hot crystal]

I guess I'm not understanding why regular trees don't grow back. Tarwood trees growing back I guess makes up for it since it's also normal wood, and tbh I just use merchants for most building mats now except metals (BTW why can't we order metals?)

It's not a pain it's just interesting

[simple lagoon]

ah - I believe the reasoning is that if regular trees grew back they would very quickly become a nuisance for most builds/bases, and would straight up prevent "lumberyard" type builds

[hot crystal]

I thought there was a way to discourage respawns inside a base area? That's what I thought at least. But even building darn near on top of a boar spawn (cove island), I still get boars at least once a day.

That's all they need to do is add a condition to building to stop spawns inside the bonfire.

[pallid scaffold]

There's still so much to do.. any suggestions?

[hot crystal]

And then disable building bonfires inside say tumbaga ingot areas

[simple lagoon]

not sure, maybe that route isnt feasible because it would also prevent plants in general from growing 🤷‍♂️

regardless, I imagine its well on their radar and they'll implement a better solution if they can

[formal pasture]

35 is the highest comfort bonus right?

[hot crystal]

I can only get 34

[simple lagoon]

I will always suggest people try to throw "The Inn" from Black Sails into their build if they can - mostly cause I want to copy see a good rendition of it - I posted some ref stuff here: #🎨│creative message

-# dont ask the legwork it took to find the google earth stuff btw

[hot crystal]

Wait I figured it out

I don't have crab trophy

[formal pasture]

I'm at 35 right now so you are missing something

o hmy bad you already figured it out

[hot crystal]

Yeah I saw a guy who had crab trophy and I said tf is that

I guess I have to pick more crabs off the beach?

The red ones

[simple lagoon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1308813514403479602.webp?size=40

yeah

[formal pasture]

I made mine quite a bit more accurate to "The Inn". tried to at least

I did the roof wrong at first but came back and fixed it. I love the look of that inn. I kinda wish i had made the center of mine open air like it is in the show. at least i think it is

[brazen canyon]

Damn thats hot

[formal pasture]

Lol thanks

[umbral juniper]

new project

[formal pasture]

report this guy

[formal pasture]

This is so clean! my kind of build right here

The limestone around the chimney was a nice touch

and the window flower counters you incorporated!

[coral mist]

Yo, anyone has any tips to build a circular room? I'm struggling to get a circular roof specifically

[trim bluff]

New to the discord, so not sure if this has been answered already, but is there a Long Roof Ridge (Reed)? I can't find any answers online and the only one I've found in game is half the width of a foundation piece (the roof pieces are exactly a full foundation width), which makes for awkward adjustments during building... Also, what about for tile, etc? Reed is my first roof I've unlocked since leaves.

[brazen canyon]

Small walls and set the rotation angle to 15 degrees

Whatever walls u use 15 degrees makes fine round walls tbh

If that not round enough no snapping on and finagle it with beams I suppose but thats being quite masochistic

The roof just align it with the wall and for the ugly overlaps no snapping on and add another one in between to make it smooth

[minor garnet]

Improve the shipyard needs a crane haha

[simple lagoon]

-# edit: adding text "circles" so I can find this easier later

[coral mist]

Thank you both! @simple lagoon @brazen canyon

[shell turret]

I appreciate that

[shell turret]

Its timbers, if you talking about the ropes. I had to come up with something for the big docks since there is no bigger crane preset to suit it

[upper narwhal]

those were posted here before ... (not my work)

that one also 🙂

[low fog]

very helpful

[pale stump]

this would work a lot better if the sides of the triangle floor pieces matched the size of the square ones 🙃

[low fog]

they don't?

[wild prairie]

my castle now includes its own face removal systems! (patten pending)

[pale stump]

the large ones, no. but the small ones yeah. but it's more resource costly

I hadn't had the chance to check out if you could actually do this or not, you can. its so much fun lol

anyone else build near a faction so you dont have to wast a bell?

[raven tendon]

we thought about it but decided not to lol, you can actually build on their islands which is cool so we had an idea to improve their location but decided not to in the end. instead we just used 2 bells for the same island we're building on lol

I'm gonna need more angles of this build .. to look at

[indigo jackal]

Turned an entire island into a city/fortress

closer view of the docks. All of the buildings are furnished and serve as shops/homes/crafting/restaurants

the towers are my accumalative home which can be seen from really far away

[dreamy forge]

👌

[raven tendon]

how do you do that really far away view? i need to do that to screenshot my build but i can't get it all in one shot since i also did an entire island...

[indigo jackal]

I used a freecam mod

[raven tendon]

ahh okay

does that work in co op if the host doesn't have it?

[indigo jackal]

not sure, I loaded mine up as a personal world for it

[raven tendon]

sad :( i don't think i'll ever be able to get a full shot of my island... i think i probably have about 100k or more stone into it and i can barely even show it lol

jst doing a quick run through video takes like 5 minutes and people don't really wanna see that lol

[ruby tree]

You can hide the UI with the ?/ button beside right-shift, and hide your character by placing your back against a (temporary) wall.
Build temporary scaffolding up to scenic spots you want to take pictures from.

No camera mods needed

[raven tendon]

yeah i know about that but they were suuuper zoomed out as well which is what i wanted

[ruby tree]

hmm fov adjustment?

is there a slider in the menus for that?

[raven tendon]

not sure, but isn't FOV only for horizontal anyway?

my build is inspired by minas tirith so it' super vertical also lol

[ruby tree]

No, we just use widescreens most of the time so we gain more horizontal periphery with FOV adjustments

[raven tendon]

oh okay

[ruby tree]

ah yes thats it:

[raven tendon]

i might try that tomorrow then

maybe i need to build a viewing platform lol

[ruby tree]

yep, thats what i mean by temporary scaffolding.
A stack of fiber is all ya need. Just lay down a line of 45 degree rooftops up into the sky, then turn one of them 180 degrees at the top to make a little corner thing, and place your characters back in that.

[raven tendon]

that won't be high enough lol

i will have to make an actual platform with extended pier stacking

We gonna stay here and go to El Rey in the morning

[slate galleon]

Easy starter base

[fluid spade]

maybe you could use chains for the swing, that looks really stiff

[ruby tree]

I tried but for some reason the support isnt supporting after 3 chain segments there. Couldnt figure it out

[fluid spade]

RIP

[ruby tree]

2 segments actually

[fluid spade]

could have something to do with your A shaped support

[ruby tree]

probably yeah lol

[fluid spade]

i was able to attach 4 chains now

[ruby tree]

I didnt try too hard to change things to fix it.
Sometimes good enough is good enough

[fluid spade]

but can't put a horizontal beam at the end of 2 chains 😄

[ruby tree]

yeah that was it lol

[formal pasture]

Does js game and his crew use mods to free build or are they out there gathering the mats for these monstrosity's?

[ruby tree]

Not sure. For me, I had a stack of duped silver coins from before the previous upate and I used basically all of it just ordering wood, but most of the stone I mined, and every other resource (clay, metal, fiber, etc) I gathered manually

But some people use mods so things only cost one single fiber to craft things (aka "fibercraft servers")

They said it couldn't be done. They said it shouldn't be done. But I had them do it anyway!

Hey, I have a suggestion for the game developers: what could they add to the story to make the game even more enjoyable (it's already great, but it could be even better). Introduce the East India Company as an additional faction for trading and looting. A life bar for rigging and sails during chain fire would also be useful. It would also be great to add ships like the galleon, corvette, sloop, etc. A trade mechanic between factions has also been added.

[ruby tree]

See: #│announcements message

They aren't sifting through discord chat for game ideas unfortunately. But its still good to mention and discuss your ideas here to see if anyone has any contributions to help polish it off 🙂

[verbal vector]

Thanks

[slate galleon]

I went and gathered all the resources. Took a while to say the least.

[hardy sparrow]

sounds nice....but better post it here:

...i am not sure, the devs follow this channel frequently 😉

[verbal vector]

thanks, already done

[formal pasture]

Every one talking bout the horse but I wanna talk about the reinvention of the wheel

[ruby tree]

well we did have to reinvent the horse too

weve all seen square wheels before, but who knew all it took to get them rolling were square legs pulling it?

[formal pasture]

Oh the reinvention of the horse has already been done

Mules lmfao

I love it though. Make me want to try out building a Trojan horse.

So as I was watching a video of how to get crab trophy, I got the crab trophy. Not creative but figured y'all would appreciate it

I was trying to figure out if there was a ballpark number and as she said when you just keep grabbing them, it'll show up, and it showed up 😂

Ah, finally the temple ruins are complete. I struggled to hide the flowerpot inside the wall. (JS Game team)

Would love to get some critique on my Havana inspired build. (very much a work in progress) 🙂 I made a short video, doing a little walkthrough

[simple lagoon]

excellent work!
personally I've not done much terraforming with the shovel, but after seeing what you've done here I may have to give it a go!

the Tavern at the video's end was especially nice

🍻

[frozen rune]

i wanna say that leveling all that ground took 5 or 6 hours :p

so be sure to have something else to keep your mind busy haha

[gentle narwhal]

I'm not sure how to get decent angles except in build mode but...my work in progress bath.

[glass linden]

Hello Windrose Community! Here are a few screen shots of my in progress fortified island!

Building credentials now shared; is this the place for related suggestions for the dev team? There are a few things I think would greatly enhance the building capabilities in this game.

First of all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a favorites tab. Allow players to toggle build pieces into a favorites tab so that you don't have to click into different building tabs to get the pieces you are currently using in your build project. The amount of time wasted clicking out of floors and walls for my floor blocks, then into pillars and beams, then over to windows and arches, then over to decorations for lighting, and back again would be greatly reduced if I could just have a favorites tab for what I'm working on to be all in one place.

Then there's the decorations issue. I don't mind that the bonfires don't overlap but all the lighting is in the decorations, as well as plenty of fine accent pieces. The game won't let me build any of that if it's not in range of a bonfire, so I have to uproot and move my bonfire around to be able to actually decorate. Barring the ability to allow bonfires to overlap (comfort lvl of highest bonfire in range applied) can we please be allowed to place decorations outside of a bonfire?

Oh, one more thing: I wouldn't mind some sort of magical item that prevents creature and flower spawns inside the bonfire. Aside from deliberately planted seeds of course, the naturally occurring ones keep popping up.

Another one: a sloping tool for my shovel. The natural ramps from the seperate levels of my island were extremely difficult to make. The dig and raise tools are useless for that, and flaten doesn't do gradients, so you kind of have to get the edge of a flatten perfect for a walkable natural ground in tiers instead of an evenly graded ramp.

[scarlet hazel]

my alcemy tower on a rock

[thorn karma]

Soon my video on my Sparrow Outpost

[ruby tree]

nice stuff but hide that ui and character

[scarlet hazel]

thnx. I don't know how

[ruby tree]

You can hide the UI with the ?/ button beside right-shift, and hide your character by placing your back against a (temporary) wall.
Build temporary scaffolding up to scenic spots you want to take pictures from.

[scarlet hazel]

ohh thnx it worked

[ruby tree]

Also you can adjust your FOV in the game settings for a wider view

[zealous stag]

Nope. Sadly the in-discord suggestion channel was completely flooded with people that didn't see that their suggestion was already done. Or were arguing with people. Or memeing. Or basically anything other than doing suggestions. :p
The current way to give suggestions to the devs is going to https://windrose.support or clicking the button on the start menu of the game, which also takes you there.

If you're on a non-US keyboard, / won't work, and you'll have to change the button in the keyboard settings somewhere.

[scarlet hazel]

thnanks man!!

[ruby tree]

The only thing I want for the shovel is "Restore Original Terrain"

[scarlet hazel]

it would by nice if they put in the game some villagers

now in game we feel a little bit lonely

[glass linden]

I was able to take advantage of the natural terrain for the one ramp, but the other one was before I knew I couldn't. Tiering was the best I could accomplish with the flatten tool

[ruby tree]

You can get your inhabitants to wander around better if you place the crafting stations they interact with in easy to reach places.
I think the circles of the bonfire building area ring have some meaning. Like the inner circle is a 50% chance that they interact with something in that region, the second circle is 25%, 3rd 15, 4th 10, and the last little ring is 0%. I think.
Knowing that you can plan how they choose things better.

[gray falcon]

I made a tavern!

[next depot]

not just a tavern a very sturdy and good looking one too. well done.

[real narwhal]

Hey devs! First of all, I just want to say that the game is absolutely amazing — I’ve been having a great time playing it. You’ve done an awesome job, and I really appreciate all the work you put into it.

I’d also love to share a couple of ideas that I think would make the game even better.

It would be really cool if you added proper ship docking mechanics, where ships could automatically align and moor parallel to a pier. It would also be awesome to have the ability to drop anchors.

Another idea I’d love to suggest is a full fleet system. That would be insanely cool. For example, being able to build multiple ships, choose one as your flagship that you personally command, and then hire crews for the others. You could give them commands like “follow,” “patrol,” or “hold position,” while still keeping the option to manually control any ship whenever you want.

Thank you again for making such a great game and for continuing to work on it. Wishing you the best with development — I’m really excited to see how the game grows in the future!
