I'd like to submit an idea and possibly do some building later. Sounds like a fun concept, so...

supple zinc
#

I have the site selected, a Meadow near the starting spawn point close to mountain, swamp, black forest and plains.

livid spindle
#

Hmmm... I was thinking more along the lines of a walled settlement. The main idea I was thinking about submitting is high rise apartment complexes

supple zinc
#

Interesting.

#

Considering the 10-player limit in the vanilla game, what did you have in mind?

livid spindle
#

Oh, one apartment complex can hold several times over the number of players. Also, the 10 people limit is only for how many can be online at the same time

#

I can dm you the floor plan if you'd like

#

That makes one apartment complex fitting 48 people nicely

supple zinc
#

Interesting. I hadn't considered that sometimes players might share a server even though they can't be on at the same time.

livid spindle
#

I could go crazier, increasing the number of apartments per floor and the number of floors, iron makes many things possible. But there's no need to go off the rails. Even just one of these is more sleeping quarters than in even the craziest of my previous builds

#

If you have plans or images of past projects you're willing to share that would be welcome! I am fascinated by this idea. The reason I had ruled it out up to now was something to do with already being common for us humans to be confined to small spaces as it is, and I thought maybe a comfortable home for each of 10 or x players with a large common area would be preferable. I had considered making some in joint units so someone can easily open a pair up into one shared building.

I mean, when you said fortress, I thought of a settlement with many buildings inside, on a grand scale, surrounded by fortifications

supple zinc
#

Yes.

livid spindle
#

And sure, a fortress settlement can include something like that... But why stop at just a single massive building like that?

supple zinc
#

Well, I'm not dogmatic about it being one single building, but if I was asked why stop at any point it's because there's a mountain on one side and the ocean on the other. I will build outposts in each of the nearby biomes with pathing. The main unit will be comprehensive.

I am having a look at your Midnight base. What are the floor dimensions?

livid spindle
#

88x88 meters. The production areas are 12x72 meters each, the central hallway is 8 meters wide, and I forget the exact dimensions of the living spaces. I think like 10x30 or something. I'll have to look again later.

#

The central courtyard is 20x20 meters

supple zinc
#

Can I see this in person? I won't equip any tools or attempt to interact with any objects.

livid spindle
#

Sure, but it will be a bit until I'm off from work

supple zinc
#

Understood. I'm looking at my Manage saves from within the client now, after using the console command save before exit.

livid spindle
#

I'll be available in about 9 hours

supple zinc
#

Does it ever save to [filename].old? I'm trying to figure out which one to backup between visits while under construction.

livid spindle
#

Uhhh... No idea what you mean, lol

#

There have been some changes to Midnight, btw, as that video is pre-h&h. And as such some aspects don't quite work post-h&h

supple zinc
#

What is h&h?

livid spindle
#

Hearth and Home, the previous large scale update that released on September 16th 2021

#

It brought tar pits, darkwood building pieces, an overhaul of the food system, and more

Hello, just stumbled on this post and wanted to drop by some info. There's a mod that enables players other than the host to use console commands. I'm affiliated with a dedicated building server that provides a mod for all players to use debugmode/no cost so we don't have to grind mats and purely enjoy building, and I think that'd come in handy for you. too. No need to be installed on the server, but anybody who wants to use that mod must install it by themselves.

Yes, whatever would conflict would be mods that add building pieces other than vanilla pieces, after someone attempts to log into the server with no mods.

supple zinc
#

Can you point me to it please?

shell plaza
#

The link to the mod? I'll DM you just in case.

supple zinc
#

Good thinking, thanks.

Updated my original post to reflect my review of the Quality of Life mod. It would be helpful if people used that.

livid spindle
#

@supple zinc bop. OK to dm you with the basic information about seeing Midnight?

supple zinc
livid spindle
#

@supple zinc so, now you've seen some of my work in person. high rise apartments are a new thing, even for me

livid spindle
#

btw, the dock is 100% stone only

#

the only bit of iron used is a small gate used to access the foundations

Are there mods that would need to be downloaded?

# leaden jewel Are there mods that would need to be downloaded?

You wouldn't need to download any mod, but if you want to use console commands you would need one. From what I understand Quality of Life will give you that ability.

I'm happy to have a player who is also on the vanilla version on the ground. I'll keep you supplied with materials and there's lots of terraforming to do, too.

not a dedicated server i take it? we can make it one, and you'd still be able to use devcommands with that mod that was recommended to you

#

#

It's awesome
