You could also throw a pool ladder in there too maybe: #🎨│creative message

[olive bluff]

love how you built the bells.

[ruby tree]

haha youll like what im just finishing off now then. Intead of a cross or something, I have a skeleton hanging off an old ship mast for the chapel of the doomed pirate

[blazing marlin]

Love the mechanism inside!

[tawdry dock]

a built a floating platform over a little pool for my bed. been a lot of pools here but yours is definitely up there with the nicer ones.

[quaint sedge]

Buddy and I built a layered cake style farm along the end of a coastal cliff area

I’ll share a pic if I remember 😅

[ruby tree]

A cake farm?

[ruby scroll]

no he said style farm. I am expecting versace and dior type stuff in the picture.

[ruby tree]

darn, I was hoping to score some cake seeds

[ruby scroll]

well i wouldnt rule it out completely, after all: "pics or it didnt happen"

[slate glen]

Looks awesome. So there's custom modeling for that broken ship, I take it?

[winged stratus]

Inspired by some layered flower beds my parents built when I was just a kid.

Top down view:

[quaint sedge]

I can’t sleep, so I’ll go take a screenshot now haha

[quaint sedge]

Nvm, friend's server that we built on doesn't seem to be up at the moment

[ruby tree]

aw, next time 🙂

[copper furnace]

Not sure how i feel about it yet but its coming along. thanks for the ideas.

@winged stratus 👍

@quaint sedge 👍

[copper furnace]

thanks, it was fun to figure out

[quaint sedge]

This was our temporary biome 2 base, it needs more detailing for my taste when I build it again at our final base

[copper furnace]

ahhh i see, it do be looking like a cake lol

i haven't got to the swamp yet, so more crops to be had for me. i have been building to much lol

[quaint sedge]

It's super dense ATM since we just needed something functional to meet our farming needs, but we have all the plantable items in abundance haha

First design of a scenic boardwalk

[copper furnace]

you can plant trees in the water like that , hmmm

[quaint sedge]

Yes, and to adjust the tree location, you have to jump into the water and it'll give you a small window to uproot the tree while you're submerged

[copper furnace]

good to know, ill have to make something with this info at some point. but for now i need to have a date with my pillow. yall take care

[copper furnace]

looks good btw, keep it up 👍

[azure cargo]

A lighthouse one a swamp island that I have been working on. As you can see, the swamp looks much friendlier now

[quaint sedge]

Uniquely awesome lighthouse design, but I don't think I'd be able to enjoy that scorched earth view every time I wanted to appreciate the view haha

[azure cargo]

It helps that I hate swamps :p

[upper narwhal]

yep - its a bit large .. but the princess is not used to travel lightly.

[azure cargo]

I hate to tell you this, but your wheels are busted 😛
Very nice build

[ruby tree]

thats the finest cart ive seen yet!

[ruby tree]

lol we dont have much to make wheels with, but im sure it rolls better than my square-wheeled cart.

[upper narwhal]

i build in some leaf springs (chains) on the axis to cover the inconvenience caused by the wheels

[azure cargo]

the only proper wheels we have are on the decorative cannons, but they wouldn't do well on sand, grass, mud or cobblestone

[upper narwhal]

has 2 wheels also 😉

[azure cargo]

doh, I forgot this spinny boy

[upper narwhal]

yep

[azure cargo]

something like that could work for you

[upper narwhal]

tried them first .. need something bigger if i want to use doors and windows

[ruby tree]

can use the barrels maybe if you sink them under the floor:

Flintstones car:

[upper narwhal]

^^

[tribal sequoia]

(Quick update) I've added a Chapel to my base.

[ruby tree]

lol everyones doin chapels today XD

[tribal sequoia]

Well its Pentecost today so...

Given its size it feels more like a Church rather then a Chapel

[ruby tree]

Or something in between... a Churpel!

[tribal sequoia]

hmmm close enough

[ruby tree]

Chapch?

[tribal sequoia]

Churpel is easier to pronounce

a church for birds

[upper narwhal]

sssssssssssssssssnakeodile

[scenic frost]

Seaside fort is mostly done now

[shell turret]

thats cool

[digital coral]

wow my house look like a dog one to this

[obsidian girder]

Would really love to see more ship modifications, especially non combat I.e. making the ship more of a mobile home

[winter stream]

start of mega base walls

[upper narwhal]

potential for a cool wall 🙂

or roof 😉

[open imp]

starting of my own "Tortuga" Pirate Haven

[manic latch]

As wall is epic 😄

[upper narwhal]

or just hang out of a wall 🙂

[proud surge]

my base so far 🙂 loving this game so much

[brazen canyon]

Not me hahaaaa

Mostly cuz i havent figured out yet how i want to build it

[upper narwhal]

Guess i have to change mine and add some propper bells and upgrade the towers

[graceful finch]

How do you guys close this?

[upper narwhal]

use 4 corners and shift them up by half without snapping ?

if you place 1 correctly - the other 3 should fall in place if you reenable snap after the first

[graceful finch]

I see, seems like we need a new piece

[languid coyote]

We finally built and named our Frigate in multiplayer.

[fervent mist]

I open discord and see this, that made my day! 😂😂😂😂

[fervent mist]

We need to have all sets to be like the reed roof, they come in all sizes and shapes not limited like the spanish tile

Also the tortuga build set

[languid coyote]

one "missing" part on reed roof is the low-angled half-width topper.

[fervent mist]

And color matching windows instead of all plaster only lol

[fervent mist]

Fair enough but u got alternatives for it where the other dont

Need flat roofs too 100%

[languid coyote]

Aye. we built it with a sharp peak.

[fervent mist]

i seen someone build asian style roofs with it too

Crazy creative lol

I can hardly build a normal square lol

[languid coyote]

Next step on the frigate is to forge extra cannon set.

[placid nexus]

Major work in progress

[crimson loom]

i Tried

[umbral juniper]

this will be my major project ( this is AI )

[hidden ether]

Its probably been done before
Made a lazy river transport to grab resources between my bonfires.

[crimson loom]

lol you cheater.... that is a great idea

[hidden ether]

Not my fault i fell alllllll the way to the other side of the cove

[hard oak]

are u using valheim builds as inspiration? Xd

[hard oak]

I have questions, why is that your seedbeds are floating?

[hard oak]

I hope you a good graphic card

[hidden ether]

its floating gardens.
Its mostly a platform build

[simple lagoon]

I dont care how you ideate on your own, but the mods ruled that AI not be posted here.

[hard oak]

I see what u did theree

[coral sinew]

Goat

[hard oak]

GOAT

[coral sinew]

🐐

[hidden ether]

i thought it was a trojan horse

[coral sinew]

Trojan goat

[crimson loom]

so now the question is do i just put horns on it?

[coral sinew]

Yes

[crimson loom]

you got it

[hidden ether]

you are selling the idea better without horns.
With horns it just becomes a sculpture.

[hard oak]

can you enter inside?

• no

so.. is not a trojan horse

[crimson loom]

this is true

[hidden ether]

dont have to be functional to depict something

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-spongebob-imagination-gif-11877335675029242228

[hard oak]

Yes, it depicts a decoration made of wheat

🤌

[coral sinew]

You’re a decoration made of wheat 😠

[hard oak]

is called culture lol

[hidden ether]

I dont see how yule goats or the culture around it fits with his pirate concept. But its okay, you are allowed to be wrong ☀️

[hard oak]

I never said that

but since you have mentioned pirate concept... trojan horse?

[hidden ether]

Its warfare tactics. so it works

[hard oak]

so it floats on the sea

[hidden ether]

scandinavian christmas traditions - a bit less

[hard oak]

it looks more like the goat than a trojan horse, and it is what it is

while

you could achieve a very good looking trojan horse

hold my beer

[hidden ether]

no thank you - hold it yourself :3

[hard oak]

@tawdry acorn do you want a challenge? I can't this week

[hard oak]

lmao, you need terapy

too salty for no reason

I also never said they were goats

[hidden ether]

You are being rude for no reason - its not my fault you dont like it being reflected back

[hard oak]

but cannot change narrow thoughts

[hard oak]

not at all, you are hurt for no reason

[hidden ether]

bit rude no?

[hard oak]

how asking if they are functional, is rude?

[dense crypt]

instead of still going at it how about drop it all together.

[hidden ether]

eitherway - im done with this. enjoy your yule goat missy

[hard oak]

the whole point of a trojan horse, is carry ppl inside

I just asked cuz, Idk if it was

lmao

[languid coyote]

Trojan rabbits have slightly different uses.

[hard oak]

what is that

[hard oak]

haha

[crimson loom]

so i was going for a horse cus @ruby tree tried it as well and i went off @drowsy sparrow post. soooooo now i think i will try and do a goat now it was a fun build.... difficult but fun

[hard oak]

yay

[languid coyote]

yup.

The architects did intend to use it like the horse... but they forgot to enter it.

And had it tossed back out on top of them.

[hard oak]

I am on stimulants so idk if I can let go of the trojan horse now

[languid coyote]

It was in Monty Python and the holy grail.

[hidden ether]

im gonna go plant a shrubbery in your hornor

[languid coyote]

https://klipy.com/gifs/monty-python-9hv

[hard oak]

that being said

[languid coyote]

that's a lot of wood.

[upper narwhal]

never played valheim at all 🙂 just messing arround with stairs today if i have time

[hard oak]

windrose just destroyed my mouse somehow

[upper narwhal]

looks interresting

[shell turret]

what did I miss lol?

[shell turret]

lmfao what

I feel you tho cause dark and darker used to destroy my keyboard

[hard oak]

my mouse scroll is dead

xD

[shell turret]

XDD

[hard oak]

this will have to go on hold until I can buy a new one

[shell turret]

could use some of those ... highkey 😂

building a city at my bay somehow burns my wood

and I thought 3k wood would be enough for now ... I was totally wrong

[hard oak]

enough space for 100 trojans

i cant even scroll the chat

welp

[shell turret]

you gotta build in tables and such so they can literally chill and watch netflix in there

I wish I could help u on the mouse part but I cant lol

[hard oak]

this never happened before

im in shock

[upper narwhal]

8 more rotated by 45 degrees .. if they would not be a pain to place

[hard oak]

leaving on the frame, I was not even going to play today 😄

[upper narwhal]

^^

[vivid spoke]

Slowly building up my lil' sea town, I'm really enjoying the cliffside!~

[upper narwhal]

the frensh will love this one ... or throw cows

[hard oak]

you missed classic DARVO being applied

"Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender"

anyways, if anyone knows a good mouse that can resist windrose beams rotation let me know

[shell turret]

thats crazy lol

[hard oak]

I was using logitech g603

everything needs a tad bit of mouse scrooling, i am dooomed HAHAH

[upper narwhal]

autohotkey ? map the wheel to up and down arrow?

[hard oak]

lmao, why suffer

but is a good idea

still suffering

[upper narwhal]

^^

[hard oak]

na is time to do some productive stuff, idk why im even here xd

[upper narwhal]

productive stuff .... like remove all of todays failed experiments

[hard oak]

I related, used to do this on ESO PTS before new stuff updated would come

no, more like start planescape: torment

[upper narwhal]

^^ finding and messing arround with new (free) decorations was allways the first thing i did in path of exile after a major update

[hard oak]

heard about it, i never knew POE had decorating system

[upper narwhal]

search for hideoutshowcase .. the site is the major hub to download

but yep - its very limited .. also only 1 axis rotation and no stacking on each other - just have to use the hideoutbases if you want areas higher/lower to get effects

[formal pasture]

You guys see the picture on the facebook group where someone made an AT-AT Walker? Its really good

[upper narwhal]

in the demo i saw a battleship ... futuristic tanks .. ppl do cool stuff

[hard oak]

no but sounds like somth ppl do in building games

[upper narwhal]

those are from the demo . (not mine)

[inland escarp]

Are there iron bars so I can make a giant iron gate?

[simple lagoon]

see, I was wondering if anyone was gonna do "block-art"

[hard oak]

not yet

[simple lagoon]

I started doing one of those massive impressive statues that you see on some Minecraft servers, but quickly realized that I had neither the stone supply nor appropriate location for a build of that size

[hard oak]

it will lag that are entirely if u do

Penguin did 3 shipwrecks "like" large buildings on the same area and the performance is horrible

buildings are great, but too large / too many beams and performance is in shambles

[upper narwhal]

i build on framedeath island 🙂

[shell turret]

the bay is starting to get more alive

[upper narwhal]

depending on the area .. with framegen x2 i may go down to 20-30 fps .. no fun

but the new system is more or less complete and may change it hopefully

[hard oak]

what new system

[weary condor]

some pictures of the island my buddys build and me. @hot kettle @Dragon342

[hard oak]

nice park

[upper narwhal]

🙂 yep

finally found a roof for the one in the town

[hard oak]

are u entering my contest?

:<

[upper narwhal]

i do contests if i have a clear picture what i wanted to do. Has to "hit" me - so maybe - but most likely not for that theme

[hard oak]

fair enough

[upper narwhal]

else i would have kept that one or variants of it for the entry

also most likely i would have to "joink" other ppls horses 😉 dont like that

[coral sinew]

Joinkin horses?

Isn’t that illegal

[upper narwhal]

🙂

[zealous stag]

Just have to grab twenty goats or something.
Cause horse thievin is a crime.

[hard oak]

would bee so niiice to have animals

🤌

[upper narwhal]

yep 🙂 charging boars that demolish the beams that hold everything together

[hard oak]

im stuck on planescape

noo, i actually scaped yay

[upper narwhal]

^^

[main quail]

i just built a farm around one of those little sow spawn area and fenced it out lol perfect sow pen

[upper narwhal]

from the demo .. but i had to lure them into the boxes. the round windows you can open looked like they can go out of their little boxes

you can even drop the dodo-eggs in there

[hard oak]

chasing dodos looks to be a good occupation for the next 6 months

[low fog]

not a submition just for fun enjoy!.. if you want a flag hit me up these are really fun to make

[upper narwhal]

could be interresting .. maybe with a tower in the middle and/or a round base / house under it to get the roof easier done .. or put teeth to it and make it look like a mouth .. whatever

[coral mist]

I'm building my friend group's base

The ship bow was a pain to make

oh wait I get it

[cursive nova]

Finally a place to call home.

[cosmic hatch]

not bad looks good

[cursive nova]

Thank you!

[cosmic hatch]

welcome

[cursive nova]

Still have to buy a lot of decorations, the inside is kinda barren.

[cosmic hatch]

some ideas for ya lol

[cursive nova]

Very nice! Exatly what I'm going for.

[rough arrow]

finally finished the front of the church, now i gotta figure out what i want the back to look like

[rich arch]

Working on my 3rd cellar. No idea what the house will look like, more just experimenting with landscape and cellar.

[cosmic hatch]

i gotta finish the church i started on the starter island 🤣

[rough arrow]

its almost done im just having a block on what to do with the back lmak

[cosmic hatch]

for me it was kept running out of materials as i was building as i was playing but now as we wait for more content im just building up an island and still have to go back to the starter island to finish now i have all the building things unlocked lol

[rough arrow]

oh ive just been killing ships then using the silver to buy mats from the merchants

[cosmic hatch]

once i finished the quests i modded it for building i have the deliveries down to 17.5 mins and loot tables amplified so i get more plus added thing for sale from the provisioners

oh and made the bonfires 4x the radius lol

[west nacelle]

few pictures of the base so far

[formal pasture]

A fort will be where I'm standing before long so I thought I'd snap this pretty picture while I could

It doesnt seem to come out as pretty when I share it 😂

[hardy sparrow]

never make fotos against the light...get a snap, when the sun is behind you - and it should look way better 😉

[odd plover]

Early in the morning 🫡

[slow girder]

Silly question time - how do you hide the UI and go into first person to take screenies?

or is it not possible?

[sacred mortar]

For US users the default is /, but for everybody, it's in the keybinds.

(rebindable)

[olive bluff]

New warehouse at the fort docks WIP

[simple lagoon]

as Makenra said, by default "/" - most folks will also build a small temporary wall and press their character against it, so that you're put into a psuedo-first person view

[slow girder]

Thank you so much!

[dense basin]

Happy Dinner everyone

[teal trellis]

Still working on our Harbor/Pirate Village Aye. We made some good progress tho. WiP

[slow girder]

It's not much so far but I love the relaxed vibes on Sugar Island

Vacation homes, supermarket, lots of bananas - all you need!

[hidden sparrow]

rate my bar please:

[slow girder]

Would absolutely drink there!

[upper narwhal]

looks too expensive 😉

[hidden sparrow]

lol the bartender may agree lol

[upper narwhal]

^^

[hardy sparrow]

the stairs could use some suspensions... 😉
i know it holds, but somehow looks instable ^^

[hidden sparrow]

i've played with different options but nothing looks good sadly

[hardy sparrow]

maybe try simple vertical wood pillars first?

[hidden sparrow]

that's what they had but the placement was odd i may do something in a few minutes, got some pc cleanup to do

[shell turret]

10 out of 10

would absolutely get drunk asf here

[sage stirrup]

Been working on a new coastal settlement build on a fresh world.

Tried to make it feel like a proper lived-in place, with things like drainage through the streets, material flow from the mine down to the docks, and supporting industry like charcoal production for the shipwright.

Still expanding it out beyond the walls with a woodcutters camp, farms, and a windmill next.

[upper narwhal]

the mine is nice 🙂

thats what i miss on my island

[red grove]

remember tropico 1? :S

You know a German is doing the building here if the stair railing extends horizontally beyond the end of the stairs. DIN 18065.

[ruby tree]

Whaaaaaatttt?? That is insanely well done!! This might be the most convincing build yet, with all the street details like the central gutter and the scattered planks, and I cant believe you even did stuff in the mine too! The carts look great, though I think the tracks might look better with the thin mahogany beams.
The harbor entrance island is a nice touch too. Everthing in there is top notch!

[vale fox]

this is incredible

[pallid scaffold]

After playing and building together with a friend of mine, this is what I built alone in my private world. What do you guys think? Any suggestions on what I could add or what I could do with the terrain?

[delicate condor]

The creative detail work is quite impressive. 🙂 I love the handcrafted shop signs and the mine detail work. The minecart that goes all the way out to the docks is a really cool touch. The drainage system within the streets as well. "Chefs kiss"

[stiff wolf]

Completed my Viet Cong starter base - lets see if edwards can find me

[royal minnow]

The Two Towers

[scenic stone]

Wow how did you get so good at building

[upper narwhal]

all stone roof ok? or wood much better?

[olive bluff]

they both have their advantages. tis quite sad that we dont have more 45 degree pieces

[upper narwhal]

yep - we can dream to get some of those with a little patch to suprise us 😉

[olive bluff]

and dark coloured clay tiles

or slate

id love that

till then all my builds are 64 degree thatch

[upper narwhal]

just colors to dye

[shell turret]

like the details on that one

[upper narwhal]

tried to build a house without a beam 🙂

[olive bluff]

on anopther note. how likely ar eyou to see your roof choices from below @upper narwhal ?

[upper narwhal]

well ... its not the highest building

[olive bluff]

have you considered wood backed stone?

[upper narwhal]

yep played arround with a ton of mixed one

[olive bluff]

darn it none of the roofing options would help keep the current building as it is

[zealous stag]

45 boring leaf roof, THEN wood planks over the top of that so the light doesn't cut through it.

[olive bluff]

could go for 45 straw too as backing in that case. itll be a bit of a chore as they're triangular pieces

[upper narwhal]

would not use leaf but 2nd layer of wood

wow just googled it ... the youngest son of a friend got into harlaxton college ... wtf that building and the manor

there clearly someone had too much money

[olive bluff]

the warehouse building is done, now time fill her up

[shell turret]

I see and thats actually more difficult than said

beams makes things easier

[sacred mortar]

Yup, hides most of the crimes.

[shell turret]

I built my hill fort without beams and no snaps ... I know the pain but it can look amazing because it feels natural especially if you try to blend into environment

[sacred mortar]

As many builders as there are, the more styles there are.. everyone is welcome to do their own interpretation but all I know is that my current build (while detailing by itself) is definetly worth most of the pain, though it pales to many.

[upper narwhal]

my complete island is surrounded by this wall with 2 rows of cannons .. i started buildind it "natural" follwoing the water and 100% in free mode and it was so frustrating to manually place every cannon and all and not beeing able to move 2 stonses > snap > move 2 stones .. so after maybe 100 cannons and 1/10 of the way, i removed the curved wall and stayed at long straigh sectors. but the last thing i will do before leaving to a new map is to remove the wall and do it natural for the 100% better looks

straight still can look "natural" but i would have to add stones at 15derees changed or sticking out like in the pic over the complete coast 😉

[olive bluff]

AAAND the warehouse is full

[hard perch]

🤮 AI...

Sorry but you can do it by yourself, it's just sad that a robot inspires u...

I'm curious to see how you work it.

[formal pasture]

This comment is sad. Let people be. why do you care where someone gets their inspiration?

first time ever chatting in creative and you're taking the piss out of someone. That's sad

[hard perch]

Don't be so negative dude, I also have the right to prioritize human creations over AI.

[formal pasture]

and I have the right to call you out on how you talk to people. Nobody gives a crap what you prioritize. Yeah... I'm the negative one. need to reevaluate how you talk to ppl

[hard perch]

lol I didn't speak bad. Just gave my opinion. React as u wish. 😉

Don't care.

[formal pasture]

Probably nothing new

[upper narwhal]

i dont really care where the ideas come from ... its still hard enough to do something 1:1 from a picture - just not claim its your idea but show the "base" . Most likely the majority of us checked pictures of things they want to build and even if you dont build something AI inspired, the chances are good, that some of the details of those AI stuff may stick in your brain and get meshed into things you build later.

or you copy something in your bild from another creator and he copied it from AI 😉

[hard perch]

That's true, That picture is nice. I first thought it was from the game. Then I looked out for those flags... and thought "what the heck, those palm trees over a land that has been dug behind that grid"..., then again other stuffs...
Now, we can still do castles, but different ones, obviously.

Now, I'd love to have the possibility to draw new flags.

[upper narwhal]

^^

or write on walls ..

rotate 3 axis 😉 or lets start with 2 ^^

[hard perch]

Personally, my next project is that castle:

[upper narwhal]

i have seen that today 🙂

[hard perch]

I also hesitate with windsor castle, but too much work...

ahah, scottish stuff! Great ones!

But what might make me do the Windosr Castle in the end, it's that we don't have a resembling tile ingame to copy that roof up there...

[upper narwhal]

checked windsor .. neuschwanstein .. hohenzollern castle

earlier today the harlaxton college 🙂

[hard perch]

yeah, germany also has great castles. I just had a crush for that one.
I just might wait for the devs to propose first a new style of roof, then I'll decide. I don't wanna make it in banana leaves.............

[sacred mortar]

closest to that would be moss or orange tiles for now

[hard perch]

yep... and that's sad! 😅

[upper narwhal]

and we have enough "tudor"-style timber-frame / fachwerkhaus houses spread over germany to get ideas for years

combine that with 15 years playing with lego 🙂 ...

[hard perch]

Well then you can also make that, the shape is right. Only the material is the problem here:

[sacred mortar]

It's sad, but you still have to remember there is still brief 4-5 months until they'll release new stuff properly. You -could- try to hide it with mix of beams and stairs/ramps but it's definetly an task to complete.

[hard perch]

You read my thoughts, I'll make tests first!

[upper narwhal]

yep those are sitting at some spots on my houses also .. seen them in the demo and kept the idea

[hard perch]

The shapes with those are full of possibilities, the best ones. But still... not tiles! ^^ I love them... but not tiles!!!

I'll use them in these tree there, that will come after my actual new town that I'm making. I'll make a treehouse in that one:

The, I'll make a castle.

[sacred mortar]

Also, have to remember.. that's european construction.. Tiles were merely introduced by the spaniards, and because they're orange is because of the clay We might get pieces we're looking for, but it might take time. It's a gamble until we get references to the new release.

[hard perch]

I really don't want to make Windsor... it'll be so looong... but the tiles... for the scottish castle.... 😢

[upper narwhal]

^^

after 1 more hour of testing ..wood it is 🙂

[sacred mortar]

Now that I think on it, there's also the rubbled tilted wall 🤔

[hard perch]

Nice, I like that ramp!

[sacred mortar]

''Heard your roof had holes.. so we patched a couple.''

[upper narwhal]

did 90% of the roofs in the demo with them

just freestyle a piece for a 2nd layer

[hard perch]

It can be helped with another material under it. But you have to put it "unlocked".

Just use the same wood ramp, but move it one half plank aside. Light problem solved.

[upper narwhal]

for the church i actually went full beams

[sacred mortar]

Was just refering to how that ramp is made.. those wooden blocks on it really tells a story.

[upper narwhal]

^^

[hard perch]

Ah sorry. 😉

[upper narwhal]

no gaps

[sacred mortar]

Speaking of building styles.. last time I played I chose to break off my storage barn's 2nd flooring in order to build up the look forward, but now i'm wondering how I should go about building the rest of it 🤔

¨The inside

[hard perch]

Ooooh, but I recognize those canons! I've seen your previous pics dude, great stuff you made! ^^

[upper narwhal]

tnx .. but after completely farming everything in the demo and for the first part of EA - a friend gave me a bottomless bag and a zip with an island with unlimited ressources or nearly unlimited some streamer or youtuber did ..

since if i need something in large amouts i dont use the vendors but go there 😉 else i would have needed 2 weeks for the cannons alone

[frozen rune]

I'm a bit late on the church scene, but i've just finished the front bit of mine. Inspired by/replica of "Basilica Menor de San Francisco de Assis".

[upper narwhal]

i have to upgrade my church-game 🙂

[frozen rune]

better res 🙂

[upper narwhal]

bells and better towers ..

should check the cathedral of aachen i guess

[hard perch]

A friend challenged me to build Notre Dame... prob shorter to do than Windsor...

[hard perch]

Amen!

Good idea: 👍

[frozen rune]

so many little details using the no snap mode

[hard perch]

Yep, but the result is worth it.

[frozen rune]

i like to think so 😄

[upper narwhal]

looking at aachen cathedral i allready got 4 new ideas

[frozen rune]

looks great when you don't look at it from the side hehe

[hard perch]

When I started this game, I thought "Great, it'll take place instead of Skull and Bones!"
I had no idea i'll kill my time by building so much!

[upper narwhal]

hehe

[frozen rune]

it was a bit too arcadey for me. This scratches the pirate itch so well... and the building!

[hard perch]

pfiuu, so many details!

[frozen rune]

best of luck haha

[upper narwhal]

not played an hour of path of exile since EA windrose started. had to push me on the day before to get 40/40 challenges in poe-league

or poe 2 ... that one has a new league in 2 days .. that i will most likely miss.

[hard perch]

😅

[olive bluff]

And a tavern

Left to right: the harbour office, tavern, warehouse

[upper narwhal]

if i build a large churce/cathedral again - i will 100% do it with double walls to hide stuff i need for the details on the outside. most likely will use the stone cubes on the baserows and an inner and outer wall further up

so you can use the triangle pieces stick only a bit out for details and inside its all clean

or rotate walls slightly ..

so much smoother if you dont have to care how most of it looks inside. and the large windows dont care that much if the walls are thick .. the look good in the middle of the wall or pinched in further

[olive bluff]

talking of double walls. my main base has this warehouse with a staggered roof out back and i tried so hard to mesh the framing together just right so much before i just gave up and double walled it to hide the ugly things away and not have to transition beams across

[upper narwhal]

you can cover some with the wall elements maybe that are available in many types and rotate them some times to close gaps .. the lower area from the floor to the 63 degree rooftiles i would cover with a straight wall 1 or 2 elements high - that should make that look clean

but yep - not everything is solveable with what we have ingame

[olive bluff]

sometimes you have to freehand and other times you have to add walls in places to separate the space

[upper narwhal]

or you are js game and invent something we dont have 🙂

freehand is a must have

[olive bluff]

i am quite happy with how it turned out in teh end but it was for sure a consideration and challange to take into account when i was building it

[sacred mortar]

if you're willing to make some sacrifices, there's always an answer.. but I don't currently see how much issues would such roofing cause right now.

[dreamy forge]

Little houses are being built one by one, and it’s starting to feel more and more like a city.

[olive bluff]

if you want somewhat symetrical framing on teh end walls it is a challange as one wall is a wall width wider in one direction than the other

[tame crest]

Please, I have a problem. When I kill any monitor in the game, I get immediately kicked out, even though it's the original version and not a cracked one. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

[upper narwhal]

you say the name and it spawned js game

[sacred mortar]

Gooot it.. yep, those are difficult to go without freehanding it.

[olive bluff]

that is why i made somewhat similar yet different beam support patterns on each face and met teh beams going off of them in teh middle of the structure where i have a half wall gap that is just hidden

[upper narwhal]

js game is the only one i see beside poison? poisen? hope one of the names is right - where everything is placed to look random/natural and in js case with 4 ppl pushing the same style ... its just amazing

[sacred mortar]

most common issue when i'm building fireplaces.. It always turns to 2 and 1/4 blocks wide.. so.. I always have to come up with how I hide the extra tiny hole with it.

[sacred mortar]

Poysen is lovely and crazy at the same package

[upper narwhal]

poysen 🙂 ok that may be it

in every game i see a handfull of creators that you can watch every picture and see new ways to do things

[olive bluff]

@sacred mortar here's what i was referring to

[upper narwhal]

as a good borg - it still takes me a while to assimilate good styles 🙂

[upper narwhal]

i hate those beams beeing covered by clay here and there

[olive bluff]

the bit where i had to compromise and adjust the framing independently

[olive bluff]

i find it quite endearing

[upper narwhal]

they need to fix it ... i most times go up there and freeplace another one to cover

[olive bluff]

especially the overgrown on one side ones. just wish that they also had triangular walls too

[upper narwhal]

still looking nice - but those trigger me 🙂

[sacred mortar]

Not really related to present projects but still little bit proud of @ruby tree showing how to making working ladders and making them ''industrial looking'' to fit the theme of my storage house

[upper narwhal]

mine are jumpable most times 😉

[olive bluff]

my current main settlement... sure wouldnt wanna have a house up on supports when drunk but hey we're pirates and osha aint a thing XD

[simple lagoon]

atp they're gonna need to just add y'all's build in officially

[sacred mortar]

Those are too.. and here's what's on the underside.

[upper narwhal]

that one on my little crane also jumpable

[sacred mortar]

Finally a proper crane with a counterweight

[upper narwhal]

then i started a large one with this (pic 1) in mind and had it up to that (pic2) one before someone posted pic 3 .. now i stopped and dont know if i want to build a temu-crane or wait for better ideas ... or blatantly copy

[olive bluff]

I really do wish I had more luck with tree seeds though.

[upper narwhal]

!!

i replaced mine for 10+ times waiting for the xxl one

[sacred mortar]

Now that I have built the ''new walls'' to the second floor.. should I upgrade the dockmaster's office..

[olive bluff]

I like it as it is tbh

[olive bluff]

personallly I got stuck with my main base as I built these shacks which I adore but now have a better built style I like and feel like i have to rip those out and rebuild. when i built it the base of that hill awas tents strewn about, now its those shacks but i dont wanna get rid of them completely

[upper narwhal]

building at this part of the island atm and i want to get the large trees like in the middle and have only a few of them - but most times the little ones show up - so its plant -> wait / grow -> remove -> repeat

[sacred mortar]

Did someone say plants?

[upper narwhal]

😉

i would by me a house here if i had to choose on my island

[sacred mortar]

And yes.. there is complimentary bunker we proudly call @stiff night 's hole.

[pale stump]

Tell Frank I like his hole 😈

[upper narwhal]

under the hill there lived a frank

and a tiny 🙂 its just arround the corner from the last picture

[sacred mortar]

Retaliation to the retaliation of the plantings my apothecary's hut.

[upper narwhal]

^^

[sacred mortar]

And never forget to secure your office for uninvited guests.

[upper narwhal]

i had a 100m long tunnel in the demo - but i messed up with the hight of the townbase here in EA and now thats no option for the most parts

[upper narwhal]

they may show up with the same caliber

[sacred mortar]

What I found out when I was building the bunker.. the seedbed ends up being quite effective for building underground maze.

[upper narwhal]

thats what my 2 hobbit-holes use

and pregrown trees and bushes

inside i covered most .. but let some show in the large hobbit-hole

[sacred mortar]

Thinking out loud but.. think of making a garden isle where ground is full of seedbeds on surface, but under there is a smuggling route that goes to the critical points on the isle..

[upper narwhal]

that tunnel went from the main mansion into the castle and crossed the whole town in the demo

[sacred mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-claps-clapping-cute-gif-14440436985127897764

[upper narwhal]

the 2nd one looked more like canalization

[sacred mortar]

Time to lay down though. Have good one all

[hard perch]

I still kept my very first base with banana leaves! I'm a nostalgic! So ur dm office is good. 😉

[upper narwhal]

^^

middle one?

[hard perch]

Obviously the nicest one. ^^

For your church project?

[upper narwhal]

only testing .. as i do 50+% of the time i spent .. placing stuff and remove and repeat... most fun compared to having to decorate 50+ rooms 😉

[dreamy forge]

It's been two weeks since we came to this island 🏝️

[upper narwhal]

🙂 very nice waste of time

[dreamy forge]

I feel like I've wasted 2,000 years

[upper narwhal]

dont think i will change that much on this ones windows ... a bell or 2 in the towers and up them a bit as the castle near it has higher towers ..

and i just saw the ladder sticking out on the tower ^^

[upper narwhal]

cant say how many hours i have allready spent, as my pc is also used as a mediaserver and on allmost 24/7 and windrose running also .. steam says 790h in EA

[pale stump]

Looney Tunes ahh defense lol I love it

[hard perch]

I'm half way, nearly 400 hours and still not finished either!

Just finished a ladder in the storage room.

[upper narwhal]

🙂

[hard perch]

Still the begining of my new "bucolic" town. So work in progress.

See that rock on the right? I'll link it to the town and make the port there

[simple lagoon]

y'all should do the POT or Smugglers island next

[hard perch]

Not a town yet, but soon.

[upper narwhal]

someone just do ...

[hard perch]

This means very short nights...

[hard perch]

Lotr?

[upper narwhal]

yep rivendell

[hard perch]

ok, it's a challenge!

Minus the waterfalls.

[upper narwhal]

checked those for ideas too 🙂

hehe yep

i played arround 5+ hours with the fountains

hidden in mountains .. as many as possible .. nothing to keep

[hard perch]

🤣

[upper narwhal]

still no loss .. process was fun

[hard perch]

don't take it the wrong way, but...

you're broken brain! ^^

I like that!

[upper narwhal]

happens if you have too much time 🙂

we moved 12 years ago for my wifes job and switched roles ... bought a house and got a dog .. thats my part while she now pulls the cart as i did before 🙂

[hard perch]

This pic is low resolution. I'll find a better one to build the closest possible.

[hard perch]

Great system.

[upper narwhal]

yep 🙂 as long as she does think the same .. all is fine

she may stop working in 5 years - so that is in sight also.

[pine wadi]

residential area progress 🙂

[upper narwhal]

called poysen to summon also 🙂

very nice

[pine wadi]

XD

[hard perch]

That usually works that way?

Ok, my turn.

Summon @pine wadi !

[pine wadi]

helloo lol

[hard perch]

👍 Works fine!!

[upper narwhal]

as i said some ppl build with a purpose for every stone they place 🙂

[hard perch]

Hello too!

[upper narwhal]

all "messie" no 90degrees if not needed ... used ... great work

[hard perch]

Perfectly my style!

Love it!

[upper narwhal]

getting used to it more and more but most things i build are still geometrical "correct" .. have to remove that part in my brain to build better

[pine wadi]

i love chaos 😄 is fun haha

[hard perch]

Wanna see my last "geometrical correct" town?

[upper narwhal]

seen and build worse .. that looks good 🙂

[upper narwhal]

i still do best with things like those i think

[hard perch]

Oh, and my tavern:

[upper narwhal]

i have not done a better tavern in EA compared to what i did in the demo

[hard perch]

My little curiosities house: (with of course all the furnitures filled!)

Small little detail, but which has its importance: NEVER FORGET YOUR RHUM !

[upper narwhal]

still like that one from the demo .. may rebuild it at some point

[digital coral]

well my ugly house so far i didn't finish yet cause of taking long time

[upper narwhal]

rome was not build ....

[hard perch]

The garden part:

[upper narwhal]

that looks nice

[hard perch]

Well I did it with a mate. I started it, and he wanted to finish.

And.................... here is my first camp............................. 😅

Small but functional! ^^

WTF! Look at this guy sleeping! Work, slave!!!

[upper narwhal]

hm my first camp ... should still exist also 🙂

[hard perch]

I can't destroy it. As I said: too nostalgic.

[upper narwhal]

all crafting-machines are gone on mine .. was a testing-area for all new blueprints i got while doing quests

[digital coral]

can u give me some of patience ?

[upper narwhal]

rest of my first base .. and each time i remove a fire they are bound to the 2 npcs respawn here

[hard perch]

Wanted to make something of it but never took the time!

[upper narwhal]

a propper garden is still on my long shortlist 🙂

[hard perch]

This guy is seriously never working... like never!

[upper narwhal]

could be me 🙂

[wanton musk]

it's more of an respawn fob.

too small fro anything else.

[hard perch]

COME ON !!!

[fickle wigeon]

should have thought twice about issuing your unlimited PTO policy

[hard perch]

Probably.

Still there... does he intent to sleep down here?

Ah no, he just moved!

[static garnet]

Using candles for accurate lightning at night, love the result

[upper narwhal]

his name is wallter

[rough arrow]

finished the church lol

[odd plover]

I have him standing 24/7 as the bartender in my camp.

[olive fulcrum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpKvjw3-M2E

Another great resource for timber study

[upper narwhal]

nice one. Also you can google quedlinburg .. that place has 1500+ half/timberframed houses visible in many pictures in the net 🙂

[olive fulcrum]

Thanks mate! 🏴‍☠️

[royal minnow]

Playing lots of Minecraft lol

[ancient beacon]

My buddy just made us a legit pool!

[zealous venture]

Castle & whole floor library 📚

[lucid marlin]

a little cozy area

[sacred mortar]

Very much lovely chaos. Still don't get it how you do it.. lol

[quaint prism]

Finally built my first Keep in survival. Had to build a large trading hub with about six vendors to support the construction but worth it.

[fickle nova]

My humble Tavern

[dense basin]

Just chilling and have some chitchat with Mortar Joe

[ruby tree]

Rivertown has grown

[hard siren]

Ma dernière lubie 😅

[coral mist]

Does anyone have any tips on how to make a custom ship bow using frames? I wanna get one in my friend group's base but I suck at building them lol

[simple lagoon]

if you've not got plans for the unused side of the island between the two lighthouses, could be an appropriate Fort location 👀

[ruby tree]

I was planning on leaving it natural. The town is starting to get a bit laggy in some places lol
But if I did fill it in, I think Im gonna do a dense cluttering of little houses. 🙂

[simple lagoon]

I can only imagine the builds we'll be capable of if Kraken does some optimizing to cull faces on assets that arent being shown rather than every face always being rendered 🤞

[hard perch]

Always resting this guy!

[ruby tree]

Ive prototype-tested some of that before (other games) and it can cause lights and shadows to flicker and blink because those faces usually stop obstructing light. If they can sort that out, then maybe itll work. (if im right here)

[dense basin]

He's tired after making a lot of gunpowder 🤣

[hard perch]

Like the idea!

[ruby tree]

The new tavern in Rivertown. The chimney builder had too much whisky.

[coral mist]

Oh whiskey is the life of man

[neon crag]

Nothing fancy (still low level) but i think this is pretty nice for first build.

[cerulean notch]

My little "pool" area and the Grill I put next to it not long after

[upper narwhal]

a regular of the tavern build the chimney while visiting i guess 🙂

[ruby tree]

And I made the church skeleton mast better:

[olive bluff]

i seem to hate myself XD

[olive bluff]

Well it seems to have worked out

[zealous mulch]

Quirky cool

[olive bluff]

twas an interesting floor foundation shape wise but a headache to roof

[zealous mulch]

It's all good fun.. I enjoy the building as much as the quests, how about you?

[olive bluff]

I ended up building more than adventuring

[zealous mulch]

Yes the building is very addictive

[zealous mulch]

The pirate girls now need bikinis?

[ruby tree]

can I get a triton horn bathing codpiece?

The pirate girls get scallop shell bikinis

[zealous mulch]

That sounds like a very good pirate plan

Of course if the girls name is Shelley that's a bonus 😂

[cursive nova]

Hahaha much better down below!

[ruby tree]

<@&1354821664998817822>

[ruby tree]

My new merchants guild:

[hot crystal]

Great way to do this! I gotta make one similar

[pallid scaffold]

I think I accidentally adopted some crocodiles. Need to fix their attitude towards me first… They're misbehaving a little

[ruby tree]

Curse'd Swamps...

[umbral juniper]

a huge citadel needs a nice entrance

[hot crystal]

Why would you aggro that many

[pallid scaffold]

because it's fun :D

[ruby tree]

Not even using the Soul Eater lol

[ruby tree]

Is that a dragon skull with cannon whiskers?

[umbral juniper]

more like a old pirate whit beard and stash

2nd try

[ruby tree]

oh yeah the chain beard looks good

[hard oak]

got some great news

I got a new mouse, I can now rotate beams again

[ruby tree]

Oh nice check this out, I found another little trick. A 1/2 vertical offset snappoint, using the Eave Facade (Tiles) piece:

We have the 1/2 horizontal offset using 2 short horizontal beam segments too:

[hard oak]

idk if i get it, but I support it

[ruby tree]

haha Aya, I think we were talking about looking for that one the other night eh? XD

Play around with the Eave Facade piece and check its snappoints out - youll find it

[hard oak]

alright

[teal trellis]

Ahoy Aye.. ive built my "House" on our lil Pirate Village. Just need more Decoration an then its good to go. (WiP)

[surreal bear]

My new lighttower

[ruby tree]

Yarr, it be a night of the black moon of DooM

The sky just looks so good in this game

[dense basin]

To be continued... (waiting for next big update)

[ruby tree]

Party zone:

[olive bluff]

One building at a time

[molten vigil]

My Palace 🙂

[trim rampart]

Apolgies for the picture spam, wanted to upload a small video (but PC decided to put that much contrast on it it looked like i recorded it on Satans basement), but gone for a cozy base, that doesn't push the "stranded" pirate too much

[pine wadi]

love it!

[trim rampart]

No mods, all materials ground out - barely half done

[versed oasis]

Bit late to the party but this is my flag design

[pine wadi]

jewelry shop duct taped on this roof 🙂

[trim rampart]

eugh i wish i had rocks on the location i chose lol

went for 3 close islands so every big update i can build a different port

[pine wadi]

aw there's always future projects eh ! xD

rocks are why i chose this one i really wanted to try vertical building xD

[trim rampart]

so red is current port

blue will be next, green after that

[pine wadi]

oooh that's cool! i dont have an island split in 3rds on my seed i dont think but that makes a cool spot to do different style'd districts 😮

[trim rampart]

then find some fancy way to connect them

[pine wadi]

oh wait i found it i do have that island lol ima have to go cruise there now xD

[trim rampart]

yeah i took it as an "old town" (now) , new town (next major update) and modern day capital (1.0) lol

[pine wadi]

i'm excited to see how you expand it 😄 im doin districts on mine but its all connected

[abstract badger]

Its not deep enough for frigates

[trim rampart]

no, they float about in the middle lol

[abstract badger]

Mb only 1/3 can actually handle such big ship

[trim rampart]

but hoping in the future will be able to dock them

area to the right of red is deep enough

assuming it will the the same left of green by the time that comes around

[trim rampart]

just does what it wants atm lol

[trim rampart]

totally just noticed the plane contrail in that picture too lol

[olive bluff]

Just a parting view of my western fort and its growing town

[formal pasture]

This is the Courtyard for my fort. was so frustrated to find I couldnt flatten that bump. It's alright I will improvise something there

[hard perch]

Funny, I have the same islands and my main base is actually in the exact green circle! ^^

[hard perch]

Looks like Winterfell! ^^

[olive bluff]

I can see it... not that i was trying for that tho XD

[hard perch]

That's actually one of my projects, so it's fun to see it! ^^

[olive bluff]

Back at the main base with some residential upgrades.... the stilts shacks will remain

[olive bluff]

the first set is complete

[main quail]

Is there any easier way to terraform ? Im guessing theres now like world map editor but is there an easy way to dig out a area instead of just using the shovel lol

[olive bluff]

afaik no. there's a mod that lets you modify the diametre of the affected area however

[copper furnace]

First try at a Silo

[shell mango]

Is there a good way to increase the vertical height of buildings? seems like even if you're building down to a foundation, there's a pretty small limit on how high you can build a tower.

[copper furnace]

get on some stairs and keep going up 👍

then when done break them down

[shell mango]

The tiles seem to turn red and say there isn't enough stability after a certain point, even though I'm building straight up.

[copper furnace]

try adding floor or beams a crossed as you go

[shell mango]

okie dokie

[copper furnace]

you can build pretty dang high

[low phoenix]

2nd of my builds! Still working on the landscaping and the few buildings I want around it.

[crimson totem]

For my first playthrough, The Iron Estate came out nice 😄

[dreamy forge]

Beachfront restaurant🍴 🧂

[cold vault]

https://medal.tv/games/windrose/clips/mNzSwC703ECLFxcE9?invite=cr-MSx2N3QsNTAzOTQwMjgz

[shell mango]

My castle is starting to look more castle-ish

[cold vault]

I have a small fort 🙂

[formal pasture]

I'm so TIRED of flattening and raising ground! But the foundation for the fort has almost come together!

Gonna have to build a building over the top of that boars hollow or something. I thought the bonfires kept things from regrowing and things from respawning? It hasn't seemed like it.

[sacred mortar]

To a degree on the respawning. If there is a hard spawn for dodos or boars, that is around the biggest limitor.

[formal pasture]

ahhh gotcha

[sullen nexus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFniSB3iitg

[formal pasture]

Working with it a little bit but I like this raised gate design

[shell turret]

wtf lol

[lucid marlin]

looks like galen had a rough day

[glass garnet]

Been hittin' them herbs a little too hard.

Mixing his "medicinal herbs" with pineapple juice lol.

[lucid marlin]

i mean look at bro took all the rum with him aswell bro is realy going through it

[glass garnet]

Such an enabler, you are. 😛

[lucid marlin]

aha

[glass garnet]

I mean... what? Who said that?

[safe matrix]

made my first house on my new island 😊 more to come soon! i would love some suggestions as idk what to build rn

[simple lagoon]

mfw I accidentally ruin my pineapple juice by mixing in medicinal herbs

[glass garnet]

my next goal is to build a base in the swamps.

[snow pagoda]

make sure you hasve no encounter with https://youtu.be/VVggXZPCuYw?si=RwmwqDGWWaXwxtBs this guy

[loud elm]

Was sailing the 7 seas in my trusty ship Taz and wanted to show this beautiful sunset I found!

[pine thorn]

Has anyone ever made a good looking skull? Id like to incorporate that into my build but I dont know how to make it look legit and 3d instead of a blocky 2d look

[proven basalt]

This one is my Skull.

[hot crystal]

If you figure out how to block them let us know, I have boars in my garden that I can't seem to stop

[formal pasture]

I believe @upper narwhal has a really good one

[glass garnet]

Oh, me and that guy go wayyyyy back.

[livid cradle]

anyone got tips on building docks that have the ships dock nicely when fast traveling? we are close and they'll dock nicely like 70% of the time when fast traveling

[odd plover]

Camp continues to grow 🫡

[upper narwhal]

nope, i must pass on that 🙂 its more a c3po than a skull .. but there were 2 or 3 nice ones .. 2 of them were wood 1 stone i think

[formal pasture]

I think I'm thinking of the stone one. I thought it looked cool!

[upper narwhal]

so why does windrose not start on my new pc ... all other games are working 😉

will use a dualboot and try cachyos linux tomorrow i guess

[coral mist]

I need some help. Some of the pieces that are phasing through terrain are just unable to be deleted. How do you guys deal with that?

[formal pasture]

the only way ive found is to flatten all around it and then continue to flatten as close as you can over and over and over until you finally start to see a corner or some peice of it

I really wish I couldve dug down to the water throughout the whole thing to make a legit moat. Ima add spikes or something I guess.

[crimson loom]

My little project town..... i want to build a wall but i dont want to loose the view of the sea.

[signal latch]

@sour estuary@paper dune

[fresh loom]

Very nice

[calm ocean]

my wife @trim fern is so awesome

[dull maple]

My buddy and I decided to build Chichen Itza by our camp

[pine thorn]

this is our humble little community. more to go for sure but its coming along nicely

[analog geyser]

What I wish my pirate looked like in Windrose
🎨 : @TIIRAMIIISU2 on X

[olive bluff]

you considered a half wall? We got our western base there

the best shot I've rn of the project. Between the fore and main mast you can see the bonfire oj the outer side of the sea wall I built

[upper narwhal]

glad i learned that the hard way in the demo allready and not by the mid or end of a major project but while i did the little tunnels under my town

[formal pasture]

May not be super aesthetically pleasing, but I'll see what I can do about it to make it look good.

[upper narwhal]

cover all of it with stones or fertile soil and make a tunnelsystem out of it under your town/buildings

[neat ember]

(A)hoi Pirates, im Mell welcome in my City 🙂

The video edit is still being revised and improved; for now, it’s just meant to demonstrate how massive it is! 2 minutes + 40 seconds (including parking) — that’s how long it takes to make a full loop around the city.😄

[formal pasture]

Finally getting somewhere. 3 level fort. Spent probably 15 hours doing all the leveling. Outside walls are all raised and there is a "moat" around the walls facing the island

[frosty kraken]

You missed a spot with the shovel

[formal pasture]

I can assure you, I most certainly probably did 😅🤣

[frosty kraken]

Build ruined better start anew

[formal pasture]

Probably just delete the server as a whole, trash now anyway

[frosty kraken]

Indeed it's such a shame

Joke aside ur genuinely mental I went insane doing shovel work on just one house foundation

[formal pasture]

Lol true statement. I just went on autopilot, turned on a TV show on my phone and went to town for a couple days.

[frosty kraken]

You know how I found out I picked a bad location? I had to build around a dodo camp

Now I have dodos legit locked in my basement

[formal pasture]

There a boars hollow in the middle of the second floor of the fort... 😆 am trying to figure out the best plan of action lol

I have a dodo camp right on the edge of the town too that I've kinda secluded without having to actually fence it off

[paper jewel]

I hate are you all doing for the bar counters on your taverns?? Looking for ideas!

[solemn heath]

A tavern without a bar counter... blasphemy! 😄

[stiff night]

fort basement arena "boar wrestling" for the brave or foolish 😂

or a in "fort" boar pen if you wanna be simple 😄

[solemn heath]

As simple as I could possibly make it.

[mortal surge]

my building

[ruby tree]

A cage, using the vertical and horizontal offsets I shared the other night:

[hallow berry]

My town on the starter island for our server

[shell turret]

lovely details

I love how you turned the starting quest area into some sort of archaeological excavation site

[hallow berry]

Yeah, I already completed it, so i have no idea how it'll be to fight those 4 spawns there Lol

[shell turret]

may I ask if that is doors down there

[hallow berry]

supposed to be

[shell turret]

it looks like it leads further which I really like

cause it adds some secret flavor to it

keep us updated, cause u put alot of work into those details and I am here for all that

really great build so far

[dense turret]

Are you fr this is amazing

[dense turret]

All my friends kinda quit the game so it's hard to build alone but this is so beautiful

[hallow berry]

Same, I'm the last one

[shell turret]

I am not seeing myself quiting the game before my base is not done, tbh I will always come back

I just hope they add more endgame content so that there is actual gameplay loops

like extra rare legendary colored weapons for example that only drop from bosses with a very low chance so you can repeat those more than once

[dense turret]

Not as unique as yall

[hallow berry]

Here's a funny story. 2 Australians got access to our server by guessing the password, we exchanged discords via writing with sticks on the ground. They revisted and made a big sign that said "aussie", but it was where i wanted to build, so i moved the sign and put it upside down. On a revist they made themselves an upside down house

[coral mist]

Nice! I think that trick you mentioned could work well at making jail bars. Been thinking about building a prison fort turned pirate hideout and this could help a ton

[shell turret]

the tavern is slowly coming into shape

gotta add some more details and then work on the interior

[vale fox]

this is incredible

[hidden sierra]

That's massive 👏 how long have you been working on that

[timber dragon]

Since last night 😂

[solemn heath]

This is HUGE!

[hidden sierra]

You work fast amazing

[timber dragon]

But it hasn't taken me that long tbf, if you have enough wood it goes pretty quickly, I just used pier foundation for all of that, it builds quickly, I had everything done in like 30 minutes maybe

[hidden sierra]

I will make a village one day, not sure where yet I'm still in the 1st island

[hidden sierra]

I need those skills it takes me forever

[timber dragon]

Trust me, I've destroyed and rebuilt many times before I got it right, stairs were the biggest problem, they were always misaligned somehow 😂

[hidden sierra]

Here is my starter house

I find alignment strange to, putting door in throws me off

[solemn heath]

Carribean villa.

[timber dragon]

That's pretty nice, I struggled with my house 😂

[outer scroll]

built a small sorta trade point

[hidden sierra]

Love this i want those materials, do you buy them or unlock through quests, love the arches

[hidden sierra]

Very cool

[solemn heath]

Most of them are buyable, I think.

[solemn heath]

And a tavern - everyone has a tavern.

[hidden sierra]

I'll be heading to Tortuga soon, so i'll see

[brittle blade]

How do I build a circle?

[hidden sierra]

I'd like to know that too

[hidden sierra]

I want something like this 😍

[timber dragon]

@hidden sierra wait till you get a bigger ship, naval combat gets pretty one sided then 😂

I have a brigate and most ships are a no match for me, I'm working on getting a frigate next, get some of those 36 pounders up on my deck

[solemn heath]

Brethren of the Coast sell those plans - arches and similar.

[hidden sierra]

Lol I'm scared to fight, only done the first ship, it was a lot of fun, but trying to dodge the other ships was wild

https://tenor.com/view/ac-ac-odyssey-odyssey-assassins-creed-odyssey-assassins-creed-gif-13944120

[timber dragon]

Well you will have to eventually, some quests require you to fight other ships

[hidden sierra]

Thank you i'll keep my eyes peeled

[timber dragon]

But if you upgrade your canons you will make a pretty quick work of most level 2-5 ships

[hidden sierra]

Your a beast lol 😆 i'll get there

[timber dragon]

It's a tough but rewarding journey

[hidden sierra]

I cant wait, thanks for the chat and info much appreciated 😀

[timber dragon]

You're welcome

[stiff night]

#🎨│creative message one way to do it 😉
use rotation 15% for a piece and turn it 1 tick each time (example used is walls)

[lavish wadi]

The mothership

[outer scroll]

that is ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING

[wanton aurora]

How does one even-

[hard perch]

Still work in progress, but doing little by little everyday:

[hard oak]

What am i looking at

[hard oak]

First u choose your poison, then you get high… then u turn on your pc and forget this is a pirate game

[hot kettle]

sorry for the fog blame windorse devs 😛 when ever i want to take a photo the fog is there welcome to skye city

half way to building the whole island

before

after

[timber dragon]

Little progress update

[small notch]

I wish we had Viking ships.

[copper furnace]

wrong game lol

[hot orchid]

finish

[hardy sparrow]

use the 'valheim style', build it with pillars & beams first...and use 15° angle, press 'Q' while in build menu to change between 15/30/45/90...

i admit, marbel and mahagoni floors look off, if snapped like this, but all others look quite fine ^^

[zealous stag]

There's a whole mess of ways of getting close to a circle, using those weird triangle things.

[hardy sparrow]

yea, thats the polygon way, known from ARK or Conan...thats the only way to have well aligned floor with marble or mahagoni...since we lack proper parts for more ^^

[timid abyss]

there's always clipping

[copper furnace]

cozy room

[zealous comet]

My random huge castle mountain base

[olive bluff]

The main settlement upgrade and construction coming along slowly

[thorn current]

Everything reminds me of her... 😆

[upper narwhal]

you stomp the the houses out of the ground at a good speed 🙂

have to rebuild all i did in the last 2 days 😉

[crimson loom]

the amount of time these builds must take is insane. i know how long it took just for my small town most of you are very inspiring.

[upper narwhal]

yep a real good way to waste some thousand hours 🙂

[upper narwhal]

just keep swimming swimming swimming ....

[olive bluff]

rip. what happened?

[upper narwhal]

new pc .. steam cloudsave fuxxed up

[olive bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/press-f-pay-respect-coffin-burial-gif-12855021

[upper narwhal]

i have 39 saves on my old pc .. the last one does not work the one before does ... the last one i can load and it throws out 3 errors for char account and world then i can play normal and log out. Next start i get the 3 errors back and the things i did in the last session are gone again

[shell turret]

thank god all my backups worked so far

[upper narwhal]

used their "workarround" .. those saves are from ages ago ..... so until i find out how to only import my isle soon (that is still on my old pc and loads but throws the error and corrupts the cloudsave) to the now working savegame that came from my backups i will just keep rebuilding what i had

the backup dirs all completely useless and most times >1 week old thats like ... hm ... i woudl say i test stuff

10 hours a day ... so a lot missing

had i not made my own backup, this would have gone back to a point where i had only a tiny part of my castle .. on that alone i build 7 days .. and thats allready >1 week done

but hey - its EA .. we signed for this and with this little knockback i will just need 2 more days until world domination ^^

[ruby tree]

More fishyfishies

[vocal stag]

necktie is a pirate?!?!

[olive bluff]

Took you long enough schnoog I tagged you a while back XD

[vocal stag]

you have high expectations of me

[olive bluff]

you mustve been lost at sea XD

[pale stump]

Nobody properly acknowledged how good of a joke this is and I'm sorry 😂😂😂

[ruby tree]

Now with fishing rods, and a fish in the water:

[pale stump]

You should consider adding pier winches in!

[ruby tree]

add them where exactly?

like integrated into the fish hanger?

[pale stump]

Yeah towards the bottom

That way you can reel in your catch, so to speak

[ruby tree]

Here we go, yeah they look better 🙂

added them into the fishing poles

[pale stump]

Siiick they look great

[ruby tree]

I also made the ship mast on top of the shipwreck taven in the background there a bit better:

And another fun detail to add to your builds: For houses with stone bottoms, add a few more layers of irregular pieces to add imperfections to it, like the corners have extra stone reinforcement, or just sloppy drunken pirate work:

[dreamy forge]

🌻 A lot of what we planned was built

[analog geyser]

Where the hell do you guys find these builds or are you guys professional architects?

I'm a simple builder

[ruby tree]

haha Ive been playing builder-games since the og TimeSplitters XD

[analog geyser]

I build for solo player efficiency

[copper furnace]

thats how it starts lol

[analog geyser]

Like, My base is basically a wood fort built around a prebuild house

[dreamy forge]

When planning the zone

[analog geyser]

I'll take a pic of it when I hop on in a bit

[ruby tree]

a whole kingdom 🙂

[copper furnace]

how did you get that angle for pic

[storm dew]

Mod

[dreamy forge]

freecam mod

[copper furnace]

ahh ya i have not modded this game

[ruby tree]

I just dropped a load of pics of my town progress into here: #1510097338327371997 message

[storm dew]

Love the mods for this game so far

Helps when building a kingdom hehe

[copper furnace]

here i am grinding out all stuff lol

[ruby tree]

You can buy and place merchants at your base to buy materials from with Silver

[storm dew]

You can do it either way 💪

[dreamy forge]

We have to look at the overall composition in large-scale construction from time to time
This game doesn't have a construction mode like Balhaeim, so I think I need a camera mode

[analog geyser]

My lil fort base

[copper furnace]

ya i have 3 of each total between two places

[analog geyser]

Another angle

And the center being that little prebuild(with upgrades)

[trail gorge]

i look up floor plans and try to recreate them the best i can while also adding onto them

[analog geyser]

Like, on google?

[trail gorge]

yes!

just to get inspo on it. i’m currently working on making a church which will hold all of our weapons and armor :p

[analog geyser]

I remember seeing ths pic in this channel

[calm ocean]

I totally didnt mean to repost this
