End of IV/ Start of LuV Base

[mortal tendon]

This is currently my end of IV / start of LuV Base. There are still a lot of things that must be built and especially more decorative buildings. The significant lack of greenery is not pleasant. There are no magic or bee buildings yet which will certainly add a lot of details once its there. Building inspiration came mainly from the games Cliff Empire and Ixion, although I only loosely replicated them.

I think I started near the end of october 2025, but the actual buildings were started being built around febuary 2026.
I find progression somewhat boring on its own, but integrating chemlines/automation within buildings has definitely been much more fun than my first run.

Some goals for the future are, as mentioned, magic towers and some bee hexagons (integrated into the side of the cliff), a proper nether base, a proper space station, a blasting tower for volcani and cryofreezers and of course some interesting way to integrate fusion reactors in the base, not to mention the large multiblocks like SE and DTPF.

Sick usage of blocks and shapes. Saved it for my inspo folder.

Thats wonderful to hear!

Im actually largely unsatisfied with the shape of the buildings. I already planned some new ones that might like a bit fancier (and future-proof-er), but I will wait until 2.9 as most multiblocks will change and dealing with that requires changing most buildings anyways

I finally took the time and terraformed a lot of the cliffs. I will send some pics once I get to my pc

My personal thought on that matter would be that the shapes of the building facades aren't at fault, it is the environment they're in. As more hours pass, as the landscape molds together with the concrete, I bet the soil and soul will feel more whole.

Edit: wait I can't sleep and I got a Piña colada made with whiskey.

Let's break this shit down

Give me an hour

Ok wow, it is surprisingly difficult to do anything but doomscrolling on a tablet...

[dusk radish]

I am so sorry

[mortal tendon]

I appreciate the thorough criticism. A lot has changed since I took those picture and its a lot nicer now and some of your critique was implemented. Ill share some pics this evening if I remember it

[mortal tendon]

There you go :))

Im trying to find more small decorative blocks (like vents/glowing vents from chisel), so any suggestions will be gladly considered

Let me know if the purple pipe looks stupid

[pulsar frost]

Really cool , how did make these holes in ur path?

[mortal tendon]

Those are microblocks

Just two panels on each side of the hole and a neonite slab als base

u can make any block glow with architecturecraft table, but it wont connect to other smae blocks anymore

also u can use lapis/anti behing glass or architecturecraf slopes to make it look like vent
