[earnest barn]

I'm still annoyed by this tbh.
dev confirmed the other day that we were never supposed to be able to recolor these.
But like....either all or nothing it man. Don't let me recolor 9/12 colors

lol my little sign post is so people know I didn't just miss recoloring them

[flint escarp]

Yeah they look the same, just one candle vs three.

OMG thank you. This is such a useful way of grouping them!! I always forget just one thing that I should be searching for when I go to one of the areas.

[hollow lantern]

Same, like I tend to go out and focus on one activity so if I'm going bug hunting, now I know which to prioritise 🙂

[crystal dew]

Did they fix the glitch to let you put rooms and gazebos on the red present to put on the landscape terraces?

[delicate ridge]

So I just completely reset my key binds to default and changed everything but the interact buttons and i still cant do it ...

[fresh shard]

The aim is just VERY specific, but it still works!

[crystal dew]

Thank you. I got it once, but zero joy so far today. 🙂

[fresh shard]

Are you standing on some chest stairs? I find being elevated a bit really helps me aim for the middle top of the red present!

No worries, my first time doing it I had it immediately! Trying to recreate it after that took hours for a while lol

[crystal dew]

I'm standing on a small stone builders block and the first one snapped immediately. Now it's just taunting me. 😆

[fresh shard]

Thats so felt Im so sorry haha, the gazebos are tricky since you can't stand too close

[crystal dew]

Too bad they don't have fly around mode to help us see what we're doing.

[signal thunder]

bakery is coming along🤍

[wooden rivet]

ooohh it's looking CUUUTEE

[floral cave]

are those houses rotated 45 degrees?

[glossy pumice]

I would assume so, yes. 3 rotation ticks from straight 😅

[tepid solstice]

With the red present trick

[floral cave]

I thought they fixed that?

[tepid solstice]

Who said that ?

[floral cave]

I saw a comment on a yt tutorial. I tried accessing the menu like that, and couldnt place anything down. everything I clicked gave an error message

so figured they were right

[tepid solstice]

It's definitely not patched

[floral cave]

Hmmm. will have to try again then

sucks I already decorated the houses in question

[signal thunder]

should i take it apart and replace sernuks with the snowy ones?

[flint escarp]

There is a tutorial out there that puts a harvest house on a red present, which to this day no one has been able to recreate. Not even the person who figured out the glitch, so if it was that tutorial… it was not patched, just never worked in the first place.

[flint escarp]

You can do the glitch with houses that are already placed (alchemist and estate houses, to be specific, not harvest houses).

At least I'm pretty sure... I think you can pick up a placed house to put on the present, too, not just take it out of your inventory.

[fierce mango]

Has anyone else had wallpaper alignment issues on the exterior of the new Estate house? Mine is showing the bottom of the pattern at the top of the wall. 😕

[flint escarp]

I think this is related to the problem inside where the pattern repeats at the top of the wall. On the estate houses, though, there is trim at the bottom that covers up the pattern and then you are seeing the repeat at the top. On the alchemist cottages, the wood trim is at the top so you would never see that repeat of the pattern at the top.

If you place that same wallpaper inside, you'll see what I mean.

[fierce mango]

I'll try that for for giggles. It's good to know it's a game issue not a "what did I do?!??" issue, thanks! 😀

[floral cave]

I keep getting the housing menu straight away, instead of the collections one. 😠

[signal thunder]

are you making sure to double jump so your glider comes out and then pressing y&h at the same time? it took me a couple tries to hit the two buttons exactly

[floral cave]

yeah, thats what I'm doing. guess my timing is off?

[signal thunder]

possibly i still struggle with it sometimes lol

[fresh shard]

Are you on pc? It helped me to change the emote tab thing hot key to N so it was next to H to press. Having them next to eachother made a huge difference for me

[flint escarp]

So I just confirmed that you can pick up a placed house to put it on the present. So put your present near your decorated house so you can grab it. Aim at the present, make sure you do the double jump then do the H+Y. Then you should be able to pick up your decorated house and place it on the present. It's hard to get the timing of the double jump and then the H+Y combo, but usually after a couple tries it works.

[floral cave]

I have yet to make it work. Glad that it works for placed houses. Will place it nearby for when I finally get it right

[flint escarp]

I did it right the absolute first time I tried. Then proceeded to need to do it a zillion times before I managed a second time. The timing can be tricky!

[floral cave]

confused about what keyboard layout you have. But will try changing settings

[flint escarp]

Also someone else said they could only get it to work by leaving to Kilima and returning, so I would also do that before you try again.

[fresh shard]

Umm let me see if I can find the specific name, but basically I changed Y to N

[signal thunder]

i think they meant cause you said n and h are beside each other but n is below h just like the y is above the h

[fresh shard]

Okay so if you scroll down in key binding its 'toggle emote tab' I changed that from Y to N

[floral cave]

YH or HN would make much of a difference for me.

[fresh shard]

Oh xD im directionally challenged my bad aha

[signal thunder]

haha i was thinking the same thing i was like what the heck kind of keyboard they got over there haha

[floral cave]

It worked better for you because its closer to the space bar?

[floral cave]

Not me googling what kind of keyboard layouts there are besides qwerty

[fresh shard]

It was suggested to me a long time ago and it helped my bad I forgot Y is also right there aha

[versed oxide]

anyone have an idea of how I could do a latter? (yk those latters in old libraries)

[signal thunder]

im over here dying 😂

[floral cave]

So get this. It's the emote wheel you need to trigger right?? It's set to T for me. 🤨

[fresh shard]

Not the wheel, but the screen where you choose what goes in the wheel if that makes sense

It says collections at the top

[flint escarp]

Lol, I have a french keyboard as well as a US keyboard set up on my computer (not an actual keyboard just the whatever that tells the computer what letter is assigned to what key), and when I accidentally switch to the French one in game I suddenly can't move because the keys are in a different place!

[floral cave]

let me find that in keybindings

[earnest barn]

I meaaannnn there are other general keyboard layouts - but honestly some of the default key bindings for Palia are real weird on a qwerty keyboard

[fresh shard]

Yeah my keys are hecka changed i forget what theyre supposed to be

[fresh shard]

In key bindings you'll look for 'Toggle emote tab'

[earnest barn]

idk what my tint key was at first, but tab has made me signifcantly less annoyed, lol

[flint escarp]

I haven't changed any of them and H+Y is what works for me. I just kind of turn my hand sideways and have one finger on each key. Glitching apparently requires some gymnastics!

[floral cave]

ITS ON L. wtf

[signal thunder]

I had to change mine to a side button on my mouse. I kept trying to hit the arrow up and f button hahaha

[flint escarp]

This one I might actually change. The shift thing drives me batty.

[floral cave]

emote wheel is the quick emote picking thing while playing. Not the collections menu

[versed oxide]

ah oupsii ahah sorry

they are confusing ok XD

[floral cave]

tell me about it.

[earnest barn]

ahhhh, I have 2 side buttons but they are for equip axe bow and net 😄

[versed oxide]

my side wheel buttons are front : sprint / back : tool wheel, I promise you tool wheel in mouse is life changing

takes me half a second to change from anything to anything

[flint escarp]

Okay, I just checked mine which are the default. Emote wheel is y, housing menu is H. Those are the two that work for me, so assign whatever you want to both of those.

[floral cave]

will try that. Not using the buttons at all right now. So inefficient

[flint escarp]

What I want to know is what key is like auto-run. I've accidentally done it twice but have no idea what I hit.

[versed oxide]

I changed mine to x

becasue who uses x

[floral cave]

I changed mine to /

or was it / already

[flint escarp]

I use X all the time to get down off of things, like if I change my mind while climbing.

[versed oxide]

it might be the actual regular keybind

[versed oxide]

thats a thing? I just jump XD

[flint escarp]

I'll have to look. I've run off cliffs and into rivers twice by hitting the wrong key. 😂

[floral cave]

but that just boosts climbing

[flint escarp]

If I jump while climbing I end up jump-climbing higher.

[versed oxide]

well no you can jump and turn around

[winged wind]

this is such a good idea. i find shift+f incredibly annoying because it locks you into sprint for some reason

[flint escarp]

I regularly change my mind, so I need X. Oh, squirrel!! 😆

[fresh shard]

My Kilma entrance on my plot, still needs more rocks and plants but its getting there 😄

[versed oxide]

i guess its a skill discussion at that point

[floral cave]

For the better part of me playing the game I didn't know how to un-climb. So I'd just climb until the bar ran out.

[earnest barn]

they've definitely added more keybinding options as time has gone on - but yea there's quite a few to really tailor your gameplay

[winged wind]

i love this wall so much impressed by how many duskwings you have LOL

[flint escarp]

Yeah, but I find the x much easier.

[versed oxide]

no so sure what to look at here? sorry ahahha

[versed oxide]

LOL thank youuuu

[flint escarp]

I haven't changed anything so it must be /. Why I have hit that by accident I have no idea... 🤣

[versed oxide]

Its right up the enter so maybe you were about to type

[floral cave]

Went to kilima and back. then was able to get the right menu. But would let me move the house on the present

[warped harbor]

I can't pick up the grand harvest house off my plot? It's empty. I'm trying to redo the plot and need it gone.

[signal thunder]

Sometimes leaving your plot and coming back works. If not restart

[floral cave]

"this is not a valid placement location" FFS

[warped harbor]

Thank you! Leaving and coming back worked

[signal thunder]

Might not be hitting it in the right spot to place it

[signal thunder]

#🏡│decor message

[fresh shard]

Ahh that just means you have to practice your aim now, its super specific! With the alchemist and estate line you can stand close since they dont collide with your body, gazebos you have to be kinda far though 🙂

[floral cave]

yeah its estate.

Why do I make things so hard for myself 😂

[fresh shard]

Ahh stand about one big square away, aim for the spot linked by lady ignite! 🙂

[signal thunder]

I stand close to the present and then I get stuck inside and just click unstuck lol

[hollow lantern]

@tepid solstice this is so cute

[tepid solstice]

This is a build I made for a building challenge from a streamer

[fresh shard]

YASSSSS YOU DID IT

[floral cave]

How hard would it be to sink it?

[versed oxide]

you would have to sink a paver and then move your house on the paver, not sure if it works

[tepid solstice]

Not that hard actually, you simply need to setup your present first

[flint escarp]

Not too hard but you need another anchor. You can use another red present to sink the first red present.

[fresh shard]

How far you want to sink it? I just put my present up high. Then cancel place low, then add the house. The distance you want it sunk is how high up it needs to start

[flint escarp]

Or you can sink the red present before you place the house, and then you wouldn't need another anchor.

[floral cave]

get it back to ground level

[hollow lantern]

It's so cute! If I were a witch, I'd happily make it my homestead, especially with the star gazing terrace on the roof!

[fresh shard]

AHH, So just place a red present on another one, cancel place it to the ground (you'll need some distance so it doesnt collide with first present) and then add the house. Once you place the present again it will pop down

[floral cave]

Place present B on present A. Then cancel place present B to the ground, but far away. then add house?

[hollow lantern]

I have to say, discovering the G button on house tours (hit G and point at something and it tells you what it is) is a revelation on plots like @feral cape because she uses stuff in such unique ways, I'd have no idea what half the pieces are without it!

[fresh shard]

Yes! That sounds right

[floral cave]

will try this with a different house lol

[fresh shard]

Yes no worries 🙂 definitely practice before you undo

[floral cave]

I always forget about that

[flint escarp]

I'm so happy that the slate tint means that my stone arch actually looks stone now!

[lusty cradle]

What should I know before I try the "build an attic" tutorial? Friend says if I attach anything to the entire extended house it will undo it....

Also I got tau's plushie so here's my doghouse

[hollow lantern]

absolute game changer when I found it!

[opaque sierra]

So this is not advertisement of another game, but some ideas that some people may take interest in? ACNH's 2020-2021... I just couldn't find my mafia bar.

Did not realize how much Japandi culture was reflected in the game. x'D But more importantly, I made a mini church. And apparently a floral/tea stall.

And apparently I abandoned the game dresscode and was downloading custom skinned outfits.

And played with painting the ground (see pavers and "steps" on stage." Made me think about how we do this in Palia in our own ways.

coughS6coughtotallynotsomeideasforRenownTailorTickets

[hollow lantern]

I'm so intrigued to see your plot, is it on tours?

[earnest barn]

you know...the way I cackled because we now have Ormuus that we can make fun colors...so this rug in all it's recolors is spot on now

[signal thunder]

im going to kick myself in the behind by replacing these sernuks with the snowy ones but whats christmas without snowy "reindeer"!!!

[floral cave]

I may or may not have an sunken/underground red present without an anker

[fresh shard]

Yess 😄 I sink my houses so the roof is ground level for faux water, they can go pretty deep underground

[flint escarp]

It's not yet because it's still sooooo unfinished. Maybe I'll put it up soon, though. It's getting to a point where the vision is more clear rather than being a scattered collection of half built things. 🙂

[fresh shard]

Wait without anchor?

[signal thunder]

i too have a doghouse for tau on my fall plot🤍

[floral cave]

Yes, it was the anchor to the house. Had to remove the house, couldnt reach the present. Long story. So. Lost to the ages I guess

[flint escarp]

More tint love... It's so nice to, first of all, be able to tint in place, because some of these things took a long time to construct. But I love that there are much more natural colors of the plants in the moonstruck wall decor. They actually look like dried plants now!

[floral cave]

I have another one, anchored one, that is to the same dept. i can select that one. Just have to locate the other one lol.

[tranquil ocean]

The dining corner is finally done. At this rate, I'll finish the house in a couple months 😅

[fresh shard]

Ahhh oh, so if its gone, you'll need to place the red present its was on in an empty house and pick up the house. It should return it to your inventory hopefully

[earnest barn]

lmao those darn dining chairs. Got them crafted and added though 😂

[signal thunder]

i love being able to tint things that are already placed for the simple fact is sometimes the colors you think will look good together dont this way you aint wasting materials trying to find the perfect color. and like you said too much glitching has gone into a lot of ppls houses lol

[flint escarp]

It's such a game changer for decor. That little preview screen never gave me a very good idea of what stuff looked like. I would tour plots and watch FireflySkies' videos instead. But seeing them in your own build is soooooo nice.

[dry nest]

@soliciana @signal thunder the olive tint pergola, oh my 🥰

[signal thunder]

im half tempted to change this all to noir haha

[floral cave]

DO IT

[earnest barn]

the noir has that purple undertone that makes me so happy ❤️

[tranquil ocean]

Lighting affects colour so much too as well. Daytime my bed looks pink, nighttime it's grey.

[signal thunder]

changing my piano to all back and white would be so pretty!!

[floral cave]

Ok. I managed it. The house is on present and rotated and sunken. BUT, I ankered the sunken present to something else. For easy repositioning

[versed oxide]

That is so nice, just sayint it looks like a Skyrim screenshot

[hollow lantern]

How cool would it be to tint the grow all out furniture so the green stayed green but the white was coloured?!

[winged wind]

how do you get the large fin plushies?

[tepid solstice]

Fishing, has a chance to drop when fishing a lake shark

[winged wind]

okay tysm! is there one for maws too? or just sharks

[tepid solstice]

The giant one, only the lake shark... But you do have a maw fin, it's just regular size tho

[winged wind]

now i have way too many sharks and still no fins XD

[earnest barn]

phew, consolidated enough things together to finally make space. Now to add in Homestead, Spa Day, Summer Stripes, Spring Fever, and whatever other smaller sets I can cram in XD

[little quest]

i love the fair lights on the cottage!

[earnest barn]

I love all these lights on houses. Winter scenes are SO pretty!

[little quest]

yes!

[green dome]

this is what I call DEDICATION

[earnest barn]

it scratches the good itch in my brain XD

[tranquil ocean]

You are a treasure!

[earnest barn]

I am reconsidering all life decisions as I realize how many pieces are in the Homestead set, lmao

[tranquil ocean]

You want to do ALL the homestead pieces?

[hollow lantern]

Thoughts and prayers xoxoxo

[earnest barn]

my goal is to put literally as much stuff on this plot as I can. If I have space, Makeshift is going on here too XD

[tranquil ocean]

We should petition S6 to pin your plot at the top of the featured tab

[floral cave]

Makeshift should come with recipes for those items

[earnest barn]

I AGREE! I'm sick of fishing lol >_<

[floral cave]

my friend has at least 14 of those wall ladders. I have 1. But at least 5 of everything else. make it make sense

[signal thunder]

im just gonna start buying the chests lol

[tranquil ocean]

I'm missing so many makeshift items, and now can't even find the collection to check!

[floral cave]

its called makeshift is all mine and the reward on top is 100 renown

[earnest barn]

honestly it's such a shame because Makeshift has some of my FAVORITE items in the whole game.

Which, speaking of...brb gotta recolor those plant items becuse I haven't looked at them yet, lol

[tranquil ocean]

Found it before, but my glasses aren't working now ig, maybe for the best

[floral cave]

OH! I forgot about that store. Should buy the nameplate before I forget again

[signal thunder]

nothing like taking my floating sleigh apart and finding all my missing bowls haha

[floral cave]

how many are we talking?

[signal thunder]

at least 10 haha i couldnt find them anywhere on the sleigh then i started taking it apart and found them all hidden lol

[floral cave]

Glitched a pavilion earlier. Now trying to do a 2nd one. and. it. just. wont. get. on. the. present. 😠

[versed oxide]

just gotta find tha sweet spot

[floral cave]

Last building before I go to bed. and it's being such a pain in the -

[signal thunder]

i shouldve just left the sleigh alone!! i forgot the planks are bugged 😭

[floral cave]

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE HELP

[tranquil ocean]

That looks so pretty! I love the round doors on the new line

Meanwhile I can't decide

[tepid solstice]

I'd say dragontide

[floral cave]

either 1 or 2. Maybe 2 is too pink with that wallpaper.

[tranquil ocean]

Dragontide was the right decision, and diff wallpaper, ty both

[winged wind]

YES

[tepid solstice]

That's really pretty ! Nice combo

[tranquil ocean]

woo hoo congrats!

[winged wind]

only took me 🤣

i knew it'd be big but uh...

[earnest barn]

here are some of my favorite makeshift items in the new colors ❤️

these are so cute and tiny ❤️

[tepid solstice]

Those chests are one of my absolute fav items

[winged wind]

omg i've never seen this item before. now i need it-

[tranquil ocean]

I used it on a shelf, it's so cute!

[earnest barn]

it was literally the last makeshift item I needed for months, then I got a whole bunch in a row XD

[tranquil ocean]

Wish we could put our palium chests inside them

[flint escarp]

I said a while ago that it should at least rotate through all the items before you start getting repeats.

[floral cave]

I already have the whole set.. so that wouldn't make a difference for me. Unless it keeps rotating to keep them all at an even amount

[paper narwhal]

Before I make myself cry, can the red present house trick be done on switch?

[fresh shard]

Im so glad you got it down pat 🙂 it looks amazing!!!

[paper narwhal]

If i get on my pc I have to work, I want to play and decorate

[fresh shard]

Its possible! I see snarkhunter translated it to ps5, im trying to see if I can find a switch version by them, but I can forward the ps5 translation from switch if you want

[paper narwhal]

Please!! I just want a house on a hill and a rotated house

I want to make a village and have each home be a different work station, like a blacksmith, farmer, weaver

[fresh shard]

That sounds so cool omg 😄

[paper narwhal]

Thank youuuuu

[manic sandal]

Curtains should be placeable on walls, if they are rejecting palcement on walls please let me know.

It's possible that you need to place the curtain before placing the column due to how collision works.

[warped harbor]

How are y'all decorating the edges of your second story open-walled rooms? I'm not sure what to do so that it's "fenced" in for like an open air dining area and could really use some inspiration or recommendations.

[manic sandal]

We designed the Railing option for this but players have used other assets as well like the Umbran Fence

[warped harbor]

Thanks!

[robust flax]

Could I ask how you managed to clip the houses together and be able to get the small stairs to line up from one to the other? I can’t get the new estate stairs to fit inside unless I use the red present but even with that I can’t get them to blend with the next level 😭 if that makes sense.

[warped harbor]

Sorry, where do I find the railing?

[hasty jewel]

Hey does anyone know if i can get my Standard Ovens back? I glitched them on top of small stone crate and the next time i loaded the plot the ovens were gone. :/

[manic sandal]

The railing is earned through the free path of the Lunar Paths pass. Once you claim it, you have the recipe to craft at your workbench.

[manic sandal]

It's likely sitting at the front of one of your plots

[warped harbor]

Ah okay, so there isn't one for the alchemist line?

[manic sandal]

Alchemist line did not have a specific railing option but a lot of people used the Umbraan Fence as it matches the aesthetic

[paper narwhal]

Will we get the doors from the patch imagr? The arched ones?

[warped harbor]

Okay, time to go talk to Subira! Thank you Seth!

[manic sandal]

The open doorway? I think we had to pull those assets due to complications that occurred in development with interconnectivity between home lines.

We just ran out of time to make those work.

[paper narwhal]

Oh i see. Sad.. maybe by next housing line. Hopefully

[manic sandal]

I think Windows/Doorways are a known opportunity space for us. We're not quite happy with where we are at with those types of assets atm and have ideas we want to explore to make those assets better overall.

[paper narwhal]

I will wait patiently. While simultaneously submitting feed back for wallpaper on stairs!

[fresh shard]

I sunk the stairs a bit! I can't remember how much exactly though, I think thats what you mean 🙂
And for clipping the houses together, if they're on independent red presents you can measure the corners with flowers, cancel place the first house out of the way and then add your next one!

I believe all I did for the elevation difference was place the red present on one builders block for the higher level

[robust flax]

Yes ! Didn’t even think about sinking them 😂

Oh ok! Makes so much more sense now lol. Thank you soo much!!!

[manic sandal]

So wallpapers on stairs and other types of decor is actually a rather complex feature to unlock.

With buildings, we have set metrics that allow the tech to render in a uniformed manner. Decor doesn't follow those metrics so figuring out how to make those materials work while maintaining the quality of the assets is tricky.

Yes that setup is possible, the Doorway asset is slightly different through, it's the same doorway you'd see on the Alchemist wall Doorway alteration.

[paper narwhal]

Oh!! I didnt know, then would it be possible to be able to just have different stairs we could craft in the different colour woods?

Like we could craft woth sap wood for pale stairs and flow wood for purple stairs, etc?

[manic sandal]

We defniitely plan to expand the catalogue of stairs we offer! Stairs are relatively new as the asset type and tech for them were introduced with Home Lines.

[paper narwhal]

I will wait for the future then!!

[tranquil ocean]

I carved out this nook in my kitchen-dining area for a pantry type thing, but now I'm feeling kinda meh about it.

[hasty jewel]

also, the game still seems to think the ovens are on top of the stone crates altho they are not, so I can not even put the stone crates away. :/

[fresh shard]

You can if the builders pieces are anchored to the ground outside 🙂 they just can't be ontop of a house or another decor item when having a crafter/cooking station/ chest on top!

But if theyre anchored to the ground, you can float/push them into place from the anchor

[tranquil ocean]

Is it ok to share screenshots from plots we visit?

[flint escarp]

Put the crates in an empty room and pick up the room. Your ovens will go back into inventory. They are probably hiding underground or somewhere in your landscape if they are still attached to the crates.

[tepid solstice]

I'd say as long as you credit it should be fine

(Just my opinion tho, some ppl might not like getting their build shared...)

[tranquil ocean]

I'm just in absolutel awe at this level of creativity, plot is on the featured list, ign bubko

[paper narwhal]

Bookshelves

[opaque sierra]

So.... before I go clearing my inventory... this is not needed for Estates right?

[paper narwhal]

Its needed for alchemist

[hasty jewel]

Thank youu! It worked, i got the ovens and crates back into my inventory. This advice was so helpful.

[opaque sierra]

Wait... wdym??? WE CAN BUILD ALCHEMIST?!

[tepid solstice]

Don't throw it, it is needed in the craft !

90 hardwood planks, 30 stone bricks and 16 iron ingots for a base room

[tepid solstice]

When you put the blueprint down, tho it's whitestone bricks the cottage takes

[opaque sierra]

I do not even have a recipe.... for alchemist?

We can build it now vs. coin?!?!

[tepid solstice]

No, but when you buy a building from town hall, you still need to fill in the ingredients for it to build itself

For 1st and 2nd homeline

[paper narwhal]

So you still buy the alchemist from town hall, but it needs Whitestone to build. Like how we build harvest house

[opaque sierra]

ooh ok

I was gonna be impressed if we could pull those out of the air x'D

[tepid solstice]

Harvest and cottage lines => Buy in townhall + put in materials
Estate => Craft and no need to put in materials

[fossil arch]

new bug! i remove the old stairs to put the new one... and the roof don't want to come back complete. i have to remove all this room and replace it??? =_=

[tepid solstice]

Just reload

[opaque sierra]

Wait...... you're cookin'. I really want that. How did you do that? 😄 Natural skylight!

[dawn socket]

Luckily they don't take very long to build fully and pop up into full on cottages~

Lady Kitsuu: Kyuuuu~ Nod nod

[tepid solstice]

It goes away when you reload your plot Simple visual bug

[fossil arch]

just remove the stairs :/ and i also remove the floor on top to try to fix it

[faint bough]

search "palia Grande échelle" on youtube

[opaque sierra]

Aww OK. XD Thanks tho.

[versed oxide]

I gave up on it but thank you! I don’t think I have patience for more lol

[tepid solstice]

There is a way to glitch it like this still, but it's a long manipulation that involves hiding the stairs under the house

[fossil arch]

btw, please developer change this ugliness and make the stairs wide like the space T________T i'ts so annoying!!!

[tepid solstice]

That's the space the estate stairs give ?

Unless you put railings... Yeah, not pretty

[dawn socket]

Just float some Umbraan Fence up there... Make a cute little railing like a friendo here did for me on my cottage before I expanded it some~

[floral cave]

Cant place curtains on or around the new alchemist and estate windows

Btw. Are the windows of the new homelines ever gonna be see through?

[tepid solstice]

#🏡│decor message

[fossil arch]

yes and i block the side on the right with come construction stuff 😒 but the one on the left it's impossible to cover

[tepid solstice]

Maybe a makeshift railing with builders pillars ?

That's the best shot, making a railing of sort

[fossil arch]

i don't know, i don't want to loose time to this XD btw, i really ask myself if developer really try things like this and say yes! how someone can say yes to this? T_T please developer, if you read this... fix the stairs making them bigger!

[tepid solstice]

Oh ! They already have teeny railings

I do like the narrow stairs... Maybe simply patch the holes

[winged wind]

which floor cabinets? (if makeshift looks better then i'll add all the little pots and stuff back)

[fossil arch]

the first one with the plants on is better

[winged wind]

yeah i really love the plants on the makeshift one

[flint escarp]

I feel like this is one of those “Spot the differences” puzzles! 😆

[obtuse jolt]

Walls were working fine for both the little leaf large valance and arched large curtains. It's just the arched large curtains are unable to stick to the pillar, which the valance was able to stick to, which makes me think it's only that piece that's kinda bugged.

[inner cobalt]

If you didn't figure it out by now (still catching up), on Switch it's:

• double jump (B by default)
• L + Y for the collections menu
• left joystick for the H menu

Some people re-bind the H menu from the joystick to something easier to press (like down arrow)
I play with a 3rd party controller that have extra buttons under that I mapped to the sticks

[dark grove]

Hey guys! I have a question. So I glitched my estate house onto a red present so I could put it on a terrace and I successfully did it. But I want my whole house on it. But it won’t connect. I have to do it one at a time. I was wondering before I started. Will they connect if I do it like that? Or am I wasting my time 😂

[obtuse jolt]

Ok...tested more with my entire set of curtains. Everything works with walls. Only the bellflower curtain and leaf valance accepts being placed on the side of a pillar. Everything else, gives me "this is not a valid placement location"

[flint escarp]

They will not connect naturally. You can do very careful counting and cancel placement of your present to get them to sort of snap together all anchored to the same present, but if you want them rotated they will not actually rotate as a unit so you’ll get some misalignment at the seam.

You can also cancel place them, though. So it might be easier (depending on what you’re doing) to just mark where one house is and cancel it out of the way to place the next one. The seam is still not perfect and you have to really overlap them a lot.

I have done it both ways and they each have their advantages and difficulties.

[inner cobalt]

Try placing a wall crossing the pillar, it helps with the extra grid
To place on builders walls they also may need an extra wall behind

[obtuse jolt]

I would do it but I don't have space for a wall on this setup, I'm basically trying to recreate the other side of this curtain entrance that i accidentally took off. The valance does connect to the lower pillar on the other side which means I probably have to take it down and reconnect the pillars again to fix the placement. It's only the arched large curtain that refuses to stick again.

[obtuse jolt]

tried putting a wall behind the pillar, nope. it somehow detects pillar as collision and refuses all part of the wall that's near the pillar as well

[earnest barn]

ooooh homestead thick & tall bottles look like potions ❤️

[inner cobalt]

Should be crossing the pillar
But I think this may have stopped working on this update

[obtuse jolt]

its an I shall wait situation again.

[earnest barn]

homestead wastebasket is a bit buggy - when I recolor it, the lid doesn't pop up all the way. Fixes itself once I pick the item up and replace it, does not fix itself when I open/close the lid 🧐

[fossil birch]

I love the new colors so much i need to get more tint materials

[earnest barn]

oooo for those icy winter builds

[obtuse jolt]

did anyone see this with their trees? it's oak tree missing a chunk at the base at a certain angle.

[fossil birch]

All trees have this problem since for so long now

[heady folio]

Has anyone figured out how the fairy lights corner are supposed to work? i tried putting them on the outside and inside corners of my house and they dont stick how i need them to rip

[gentle adder]

No I spent like 3 hours trying to get them to work, I suspect they might not be functioning as hoped?

[obtuse jolt]

i literally ignore looking at my trees after i put them down. so happened i wandered across a few trees and stopped to look

[fossil birch]

Yeah sometimes they miss a huge chunk. It only suck when you try to make a Screenshot.

[warped harbor]

This doesn't actually work though. I can't place it down.

[inner cobalt]

If your talking about the fences on the house, you need some extra steps
You can follow any of these to do it
#🏡│decor message
#🏡│decor message

[warped harbor]

But what happens to the box or whatever you glitch it to? Does it have to stay there?

[inner cobalt]

No, you can take it afterwards

[warped harbor]

Okay. Hopefully they'll just let us decorate how we want without glitching. I'm not big on 17 extra steps to do something simple like put a decorative fence piece down.

Thank you for the help.

[gentle adder]

One feature I wish we could have is from the top down view drag and select a group of things and move as one... I am rearrnging some things and there are sections that I absolutely adore but want to be a bit to the left or right and currently I am having to move each thing and try to get it perfectly how I want it.

[inner cobalt]

Yes, as of now the group select works the same as in place mode, they need to be connected or close in the case of builders pieces

[obtuse jolt]

i wish fences would be allowed to place indoors, without the extra steps needed too. because the umbraan fence pieces are just better indoors

[warped harbor]

I low-key get not putting actual fencing inside, but the umbraan decorative ones are just decorative. Let us do the thing

[hallow prawn]

struggling making a 2nd story with the estate line. Anyone able to help?

[obtuse jolt]

probably something in the way. on the walls or on the ceiling

i had same issue yesterday with trying to stack 2 alchemist base together

[plush robin]

made a boat for my boat house

[gentle adder]

what's your issue?

[flint escarp]

Make sure you put the room on the ground first to let it build before you put it on top. Then often if there’s still a problem it’s because there is an adjacent roof trim in the way or because you have stuff on or close to the ceiling in the bottom room.

[elder panther]

how? do u have a tut u used or i can follow?

[plush robin]

i used the rotate object hack and the sinking glitch. i can get you tutorials for both, and show you what i used to make the boat

[elder panther]

Yes please dm me! 🙏 Tysm!!

[inner cobalt]

Hey, this still works, sadly these are all the curtains I have at the moment (never big on curtains or silk)
Also some may not work, the Kilima small drapes worked but the large drapes didn't

[plush robin]

left the tuts in your dms

[winged wind]

hey! sorry for the ping but i was wondering if you knew how to flip them on their side? i'm still learning how to do all that

[acoustic comet]

finally got my little spooky corner almost perfect. Just gotta get something for the little corner of the hallway then it'll be complete I think

[winged wind]

because the cabinet slopes i can't attach the cutting board correctly

[elder panther]

Woah wait how?!! You have a tut?

[flint escarp]

If Snail doesn’t answer by the time I’m home from work I can give better instructions, but basically you want to place your anchor (I would try a dessert plate because it’s easy to hide under the barrel) at a 90 degree angle (rotate it on a shelf), then cancel place it horizontally in the normal orientation and place your barrel on top. When you pick up the plate and put it down again the barrel will rotate. It will rotate the opposite direction to how you turned the plate so keep that in mind.

[winged wind]

tysm pickle!!! i'll try this

i wonder if this barrel would be too big up there...

[elder panther]

Ok do u do like tutorials? If u do please dm me and let me know 🙏

[fast thistle]

There are small barrels too

[stoic berry]

Are the wood slab pavers permanently one size? Not sure if I should wait of pick them up.

[flint escarp]

The pavers are all bugged so leave them. They will be fixed hopefully in next patch. I don’t think you can even get different sizes right now so you can’t fix it anyway.

[elder panther]

How do we get the hedges also does the makeshift furniture have recipes?

[fresh shard]

Im trying to start them ❤️ I still have a lot of the same to do on this plot so I can definitely film how I'm doing it.
Question though, do you have the spiral spiderweb? It makes the Rock wall much easier.
If not no worries!

[elder panther]

I have a few like 3?

[fresh shard]

A simple way to do it is the spiral web on top and attach it to the wall, for more free placement put a spiral web on a plate, put the plate on the wall and flick the barrel on 🙂

[elder panther]

Is it just for placement or does it need to be placed there permanently

[fresh shard]

Just for placement! 🙂 you can pick it back up after!

[winged wind]

tysm!!! i'll try that too

okay i love these webs

[fresh shard]

They're my favorite, I use them for so much aha

[winged wind]

okay i was gonna do a stack like this, but idk- do the bottoms/tops of the barrels look weird ?

[fresh shard]

Maybe of you do one on a plate so it's angled a bit? I think it may look off from being so uniform maybe? But I like them stacked like that

[winged wind]

you mean like rotated slightly? (so they're not straight on)

[fresh shard]

Yeah 🙂 like that

[winged wind]

okay ! how do you flick the barrel onto the plate once it's on the wall though?

(if i read the steps correctly)

[fresh shard]

Use the spiral web! It doesnt need to say something is in the way to flick things

And it should attach it right on, and then you can grab from the plate or the web to place it

[winged wind]

ooh okay tyty!! i'll try in a sec, i'm out collecting sweetleaf for tints XD

i can flick it on the plate, but it merges half into the ground

[fresh shard]

Mmm, you can cancel place the plate on the wall to raise the barrel!! Just cancel place it maybe two to three small squares up the wall from its starting point

[winged wind]

ouu okok lemme try that ^^

[fresh shard]

Or maybe its side to side? Let me check too actually

[winged wind]

man i've been learning sm these past couple days LOL

[fresh shard]

Ohh my bad I see how to raise it now, you need a builders wall as well

Start it on the wall, and place a builders wall the distance away that you want it raised, cancel place the plate onto the builders wall and then add the barrel, I can take a Pic of you need

[winged wind]

well- it kind of worked 🤣

[fresh shard]

Lol, the builders wall needs to be really close to the actual wall! Virtually up against it so its only 2-3 small squares away

[winged wind]

if the block is as close to the wall as i can get it, this is how high it ends up being

hmm

if i alt+select so i can put it on a block and lower it, it selects my whole cabinet-

[fresh shard]

Try a builders wall rather than a block 🙂

And I suggest doing the flicking on an empty wall so you dont accidentally alt select anything else

[winged wind]

oh i'm blind, WALL, not block

[fresh shard]

Hehehe its okay!

[winged wind]

okay now i've got it

[fresh shard]

Yayyy 😄 Im so glad!!

[winged wind]

okay now we're getting somewhere

[languid jacinth]

oki so i have a fully decorated house using alchemist cottages. i started moving all my buildings back on my plot to have more room in the front. everything went fine except one building wouldnt let me stack it once i moved the rest of the house. i have undecorated the top alchemist cottage. i have put roof on and flat roof. cleared any possible decor from the top of building one and all of building two. i put building two in storage to make sure i wasnt missing anything. they are both alchemist cottage b type. any help would be amazing

[ancient heron]

so i'm trying to make a hobbit kinda house and just now realize how time consuming making mountains is.

[winged wind]

is there a way to adjust the placement without having to redo the whole thing? i can't alt+select or it grabs the cabinets too

[fresh shard]

You should be able to just grab from the plate! To adjust the ones directly on the wall though you'll have to take them down and redo to avoid that I think

[winged wind]

struggling to make it go back farther because the plate hits the wall asjdnsadk

[fresh shard]

I think to keep it from pushing the barrel out you need to make sure its cancel placed straight through the builders wall if that makes sense, I think when the plate was transfered over you raised it a bit

[winged wind]

i thought i didn't raise it but maybe ?? it looked centered on the builders wall

[fresh shard]

Basically doing this is the same rules as floating normally except up down is side to side

[winged wind]

lemme try again

[fresh shard]

Its really sensitive doing it this way!

[errant hamlet]

is building over decor limit dead ?

[fresh shard]

I think the alert pops up around 3700 something people have said

[winged wind]

that's a bit better i think

also i'm sorry i feel so bad i always end up spamming pictures of whatever i'm working on

[fresh shard]

Yeahhh that looks great 🙂 also its all good! Post what you need to get things worked out!

[winged wind]

would just 2 barrels look good? or do you still like the stack

[indigo bear]

Just pretend you put all your money into glitching lessons that you couldn’t afford a third barrel

[winged wind]

unrelated to the barrels but omg why is the left stringlight so BRIGHTTT 😭

full view with the 2 barrels :3

[fresh shard]

Ooo yes I like the two!!! 😄 that looks so good!!!

[winged wind]

weee tysm for all the help!!! ❤️

[heady spoke]

Slate and Harmony are my new favorites

[flint escarp]

Is there stuff on the ceiling or near the ceiling in the bottom room? They won’t stack if you have a light on the ceiling or stuff up close to it.

[heady spoke]

I would also suggest if you already undecorated them, to put them both back into your storage and then take them out. That way you can see if you are missing anything attached to them

[winged wind]

how do i spend well over an hour decorating then take a step back and i've barely done anything

[fresh shard]

Glitching can be so tedious, im the same way because I will re do the same thing over and over for forever until its in the right spot

[winged wind]

fr, i blink and it's somehow 1am

[heady spoke]

I've spent the past 2 days redoing the same exact spot in my conservatory so don't feel bad XD

[velvet bear]

Is it supposed to stay like this?

We used to be able to store tinted decor items

[obtuse jolt]

That is some weird hitbox we have going on. Why only the top of the pillar?? The larger drapes need more than one point hence I was putting them on pillar sideways

[heady spoke]

It's the new system. They said that it took too much to store them so we no longer can without wiping the tint

[heady spoke]

That's new as well. You used to have no issues with putting them on building blocks, but since the curtains got broken and repaired, and with updates to collision checks, it's more difficult now

[obtuse jolt]

I know like...I used to toss like 3-4 plants on top a pillar no prob but now...1

[velvet bear]

Aww too bad! Now I know more tho, thank you

[heady spoke]

It's annoying but nothing u can't get around with cancel placement, lol

[obtuse jolt]

I'm trying not to use so much cancel placement. I can never remember the right steps to getting anything where it should

[winged wind]

another spa item that's broken </3

[heady spoke]

It's all just measuring. In your case you are just temp. moving something off the top to place another item, so you don't have to worry about that tho. You just cancel place your item on the ground, add ur next, then pick up and place the pillar again to snap them all back

[obtuse jolt]

Haha have they fixed the tray so that everything's not floating above it

[versed oxide]

What is wrong with it? :(

[versed oxide]

Omg I wish

[winged wind]

the short one isn't currently tintable

[heady spoke]

This one's not dyeable either?

[winged wind]

nope :c

[versed oxide]

Nooo sad

[winged wind]

don't believe so

[heady spoke]

At least it will get fixed in the next patch more than likely, according to Seth, so we won't have to wait long

[obtuse jolt]

True. If I can actually remember not to click...which I often do when I'm sleepy. Being sleepy and playing Palia is not a good combo. I destroyed part of my build because I put something down instead of cancelling

[heady spoke]

I have insomnia so I am always sleepy when I play XD. If it helps when using cancel placement, keep ur finger off the clicker until ur ready to pick something up. Sounds dumb but it helps. If ur not picking, ur not clicking XD

[obtuse jolt]

LoL I just cracked my mouse in two spots coz I fell asleep again last night while building my plot again. Poor mouse

[obtuse jolt]

I would honestly rather have one patch that fixes ALL of the issues rather than adding any new content. Coz adding new stuff keeps breaking older stuff in the worst way

[heady spoke]

I was shocked that they didn't use the time during the Holidays to put out patches/fixes, rather than new content. With Winterlights, Spooky, Maji Market, etc. there was plenty to fill our time

Since there was already a lot of content coming out anyways, they could have held off on the rest to fix bugs

[fresh shard]

Trying to figure out what in heck to do for stairs here .-. Brain not thinking, I didnt like how any shelves looked

[heady spoke]

I love the new content, but I can be patient if it means better gameplay XD

[heady spoke]

Industrial shelves

[obtuse jolt]

Would be great if less glitching needed, but more advanced placement options given.

[heady spoke]

They said we will have that in the future. I''m thinking a yr plus down the line, but not to the extent that ppl have asked for

[obtuse jolt]

How do you sink those silly planters in the ground? Red present?

[fresh shard]

Nahh just simply put a flower in it and group select the flower 🙂

[heady spoke]

Use multi-select to put them on an anchor piece. No present needed

[inner cobalt]

They're at the top because of collision with the ground, I just didn't rotate them
The large ones said "not a valid place", maybe with 2 pillars/walls will work

[obtuse jolt]

I play Genshin as well ..and their teapot is basically an addon to the game, it came with standard rotation and placement right off the bat with the vertical placement a year later and people make the most dang outrageous stuff in teapot.

[heady spoke]

I tried making a wall of pillars like we used to be able to? I didn't work... For the large ones

[obtuse jolt]

I shall try. It's a very nice box but I just wanna cut them dang legs off all the time.

[winged wind]

oops

[heady spoke]

They make cute raised garden beds if u take 2 and face them towards each other. Those brackets make nice legs

[obtuse jolt]

Camping shelf? You can make a pretty nice stairs out if them but you need a lot of shelves

[obtuse jolt]

Nah. Its the curtains and drapes just hating on pillars today

[heady spoke]

Here we go, found a pic of one I made, lol. I like them like this -

[obtuse jolt]

That looks good, and quite cute for a farming box. Can the planterlife stuff go in it?

[heady spoke]

It has lettuce in it in the pic

I made bean ivy for a trellis with them too XD

ignore the giant pavers, since they are broken they poke thru now

[inner cobalt]

Did you add the walls in the middle?

[heady spoke]

No, I just did the 9 pillars wide to give it the surface of a wall

Still said not a valid placement

[fresh shard]

Does this look alright? I didnt like how the shelves looked, but remembered you can walk up elderwood end tables

[heady spoke]

I think it looks pretty

[main lily]

Looks so good

[heady spoke]

Tysm. I was going to show the whole thing off, but with pavers broken it ruins the look XD. I had a design on the ground in the flagstones too but they look horrible rn

[fresh shard]

Tyty, ill keep it then!!

[winged wind]

does this look okay with everything inside the pantry? i was thinking of it like one of those thingies that keep pastries warm (whatever they're called)

[heady spoke]

Pie case

[acoustic comet]

I love it!!!! it came together so beautifully, puts my home to shame

[dusty spruce]

Someone PLSSSS HELPPP

[timber sierra]

Someone here had an awesome plot for for cooking parties with 4 gazebos can i take a look on it again pls? 🙂

[winged wind]

i was just debating that 🤣 how many kinds of pies are there?? i think i have 3, so i could do 2 per shelf

pies might be more cozy

[inner cobalt]

The doors tend to lag behind when moving on the present, should be OK once it's placed but can cause weird collision while moving

[dusty spruce]

Unfortunately I can’t seem to place 😪

[fresh shard]

When the estate houses are sunk some they collide with the terraces, you'll need a paver/plate something thin with a surface between the terrace and the present

I think its the thingies on the corners that make it weird

[fresh shard]

Instead of trying to sink them into the terraces, maybe floating them from the ground would be easier

[fresh shard]

Grid off 🙂

[dusty spruce]

Still not working 😪

[fresh shard]

Hmmm, it might be easier to float it then, and place the present under the terraces, thats a medium so I think its about 1 present up, so you'll do it the opposite way by placing the present on the ground first, then on top of the other present. Then add the house. And you can cancel place the terraces out of the way (id mark with flowers where the edge is) and add the house from the present

(Unless its in the air, then its a present + the distance between ground and terrace)

[dusty spruce]

Ok. I will try

[flint escarp]

I'm not sure if you're just trying to place it on the terrace or move it, but you cannot move the house on the red present just a little bit. It somehow seems to recognize where it is and where it's moving to simultaneously, so it will tell you something is in the way, when it's just it's previous position that is in the way. I have had to move my houses to a completely different part of my plot before moving them back to where I want them to be, when I just want to move them over a few grid squares.

But also, what I have done is to float the houses and place the terraces under them. You can cancel place the red present with the house out of the way and place a terrace down where you want it and then relaod.

[fresh shard]

Black ceiling by flicking the big large yardwork rocks up there with the spiral web!!!!!!! 🙂

They do poke out if theyre by the edge, but my current build has terraces off the roof anyway

[wind mauve]

it's pretty but i would prefer a warm glow for indoors (too bright), this one is perfect for outdoors

[wind mauve]

this is pretty i would love to make one too
well done!

[crystal dew]

If you use the cancel placement method you can 'sink' the houses into the terraces. I've been working on my winter plot and couldn't get the look I was after so I tried that and it worked for me.

[heady spoke]

It's because this is a grand staircase. It's supposed to sit centered in the room, not up against a wall.

[fossil arch]

"grand" staircaise. "grand" means big and it's not! the problem remain if you put it in the center, the gaps are unsightly 🤣

[wind mauve]

i've unlocked that staircase and saw it... it is quite narrow for an estate house
i've seen a photo here somewhere and i thought the shorter version (staircase) looks wider

[tepid solstice]

Anyone in here unlocked the premium path ? I'm curious about the kitsuu firework

[fossil arch]

really? different colour of the roof for the new home line that you can attatch with the previously? T_T why there are this unshightly details!!!

[wind mauve]

oh.my.god. i've seen it.
but that wasn't the factor why i didn't change from alchemist to estate (even tho the door is so pretty); it was the corner post or pillar...it's too formal for my taste

oh and wall facade that looks like a harvest house unless u place a wallpaper...i prefer the og alchemist

[fossil arch]

you can change the pillar with the trees. i put the trees because i wanted a whymsical home but i like the round door (and hate the fact that the mini roof on the door was always red and didn't change with the normal roof like other stuff =_=)

[fossil arch]

you can put the wallpaper of the alchemist there, there is the item of it

[lean isle]

I would love if we had color variations... one of them being christmas lights ranging from yellow red blue green

[wind mauve]

fair enough, i gave up on the door

[wind mauve]

there is?? i didn't know lol

[wind mauve]

maybe one day but don't hold your breath...i gave up on the door and just stayed with my alchemist

[lean isle]

See that's the thing... I love the cottage line... it's literally my favorite.
I .... just want to be able to place the christmas wreaths on the door x'D

[wind mauve]

can't do with obstacle flick? not that i use it, coz i can't lol i can never make it work

[lean isle]

might be able to but then how would we go through the door? because it wouldnt attach to the door since there's no placement area on the door itself

[bright vapor]

Oh my goodness would you mind explaining what room(s) you have connected here? I'm trying to make a theater and this is amazing!

[wind mauve]

just place it a little higher?

[lean isle]

I dontwant it on the frame though :p

[hardy pebble]

What do you mean?

[inner cobalt]

I think you can hide a pillar or builders wall in the house wall the cancel place on the door to place the wreath
It will leave a wreath floating in mid air, tho, so a bit difficult to pass thru the door

[rapid temple]

Red present I used with the alchemist chimney to make this cozy fireplace for the alchemist cottage. Simply place the chimney on the red present no floating or cancelling needed.

[teal hull]

Oh thats actually awesome!

I might have to figure a silimae one out, its so sad they dont have an inrerior fireplace for the alchemist/estate lines yet

[rapid temple]

Thank you! I used the bowl to shove blocks around it to hide the bottom and to add the paltech part

[wooden rivet]

I was so excited about the stairs just to see that they look like this 🙄 they could've at least made it so that it sat flush to the wall

[thorn sable]

where

[wooden rivet]

this looks so cute! i love it :3

[fossil arch]

i think i buy it from the shop in elderwoods stable, where do you buy furnitures and roof

[thorn sable]

hm i don't see it

[tepid solstice]

The facade of the cottage, we don't have it

[thorn sable]

[tepid solstice]

We're never really given the houses base wallpapers/floorings

[fossil arch]

ok so i don't remember where i found it T_T maybe some umbraan mission or achievement? T_T i don't know (i play in italian so i don't know the english name of the item, sorry)

[tepid solstice]

Do you mean this one ?

[elder panther]

Is it just me or does building today seem buggy?

[signal thunder]

finally got the sleigh redone for the 2094209384th time with the snowy sernuks 🤍

[stiff mortar]

Hello 👋 I wanted to get everyone’s opinions on the new home lines—what you like about them, and or what improvements you want to see.

For me, personally, I am begging, wishing, praying for ROUND attachments and transparent windows. In addition, the old wallpapers do not fit with the new size walls and look a little wonky without wall trim like the harvest houses had.

(Update: I was told transparent windows are something they are working on… I hope.)

[tepid solstice]

Concerning the windows, kind of yes #🏡│decor message

[glossy pumice]

Question, anyone have a tutorial on how to make a bunkbed?

[hasty orchid]

the red presents are amazing

[flint escarp]

I have not used the new estate line much yet, but I have been working with the alchemist cottages for months and I love them. I mean, yes, there are no transparent windows, but I completely understand that this is a coding obstacle due to the fact that we can place windows whereever we want. But I love that I can fully remove walls, hide things in walls, remove the roof, put them on presents and rotate them, I find it much much easier to do what I want to do with the cottages (and therefore also the estate houses) than I could with the harvest house. (And the estate line has these same perks.)

As for the estate line itself, I haven't used it much yet, but I love the door and I also like that the small windows look more like windows than the little diamond ones on the alchemist cottage.

I think in general, the harvest house probably is more "house" like, if that's all someone is going for--different sized rooms, real windows, ability to make more interesting layouts the way you can connect everything--but the new housing line is better for making builds that aren't necessarily just classic houses (although they definitely still work for that, too).

[glad imp]

I find them very ressource hungry. They look nice, but I do agree that both estate and alchemy cottage need transparent windows. Right now it feels like a step down from the normal homes. Tamala's house uses a similar appearance and they're transparent. Not gonna use them until we get transparent windows. Also, I hope alchemy cottage gets this winter garden attachment that Tamala's house has. I really want that.

[flint escarp]

But no one is moving the windows around on Tamala's house. The window has to cut a hole in the wall whereever we place it in order for it to be transparent. Seth explained that this is programming that is very complicated. So we get fake windows in exchange for the versatility of being able to decide where they go. Hopefully they will figure out the coding in the future, so we can have both versatility and transparency.
But yeah, I can't wait for that greenhouse wall. I know they've said they are working on something like that and it just wasn't ready for this patch.

(Related, cutting a hole is also the reason there is no water in the well. It would have to cut a hole in the ground wherever we decide to place it.)

[tepid solstice]

(I wouldn't have minded them putting a water png at the bottom of the well that's still at gound lvl honestly )

[flint escarp]

Yeah, I'm not sure why they didn't just do this.

[sharp pulsar]

How do I apply tints to furniture? I tried seaching and can't find where...

[flint escarp]

You do it just by clicking on the placed item, then Shift-F.

[tepid solstice]

(Shift-F or whatever your tertiary action is keybinded to)

[sharp pulsar]

That's....weird. But thank you!

[thorn sable]

[winged wind]

omg this is so pretty

[flint escarp]

Yeah, the shift-F thing is weird and awkward. But I love being able to tint things without picking them up. It would be such a pain to rebuild everything just because I wanted the new colors.

[sharp pulsar]

Stuff losing their tint with no refund while putting it in storage is diabolical

[flint escarp]

Yeah, that's annoying. We should get tint back, but I understand the storage thing is going to be a data issue as they release more and more tints.

[sharp pulsar]

Yeah i get the reasoning. However, they could make a separate storage repository for tints too.

[flint escarp]

Well, your tints are stored in storage and don't take up space. But still, getting at least half of what you used to tint an item would be nice. The removed tint would just go back into your store of tints.

[sharp pulsar]

i guess it does give us reasons to actually go out and forage for specific things again, which i do like

[sharp pulsar]

ohh yeah i see what you mean.

[flint escarp]

Very true, I hadn't been to the Elderwoods for weeks. 🤣

[sharp pulsar]

lol same

[flint escarp]

They found a way to get us decorators to actually leave our plots! 😂

[timber sierra]

how can i connect diffrent height platforms to move them together out of the plot? fixed the ones with same height with stones but dont know i can do it with diffren heights

[hollow lantern]

HOW ANNOYING IS THAT

[cunning stratus]

How many estate bases can we have either together or on one plot

[bright vapor]

This is GORGEOUS! Do you mind sharing how you did it?

[flint escarp]

Ten linked (until you unlock the extra one in the path) but thirty total if they are not all connected.

[cunning stratus]

Thanks. That kinda sucks. I had an idea of a castle so would need more

Also does the square pavilion thingy attach to the estate range?

[flint escarp]

No, nothing from the old harvest house era connects.

[heady spoke]

Pavillions are stand alone structures, so they don't attach to anything

Or do you mean the courtyard?

[cunning stratus]

I probably don’t mean pavilion, but it’s the square building you definitely attach to a house because I did it with harvest houses

[heady spoke]

Then that would be the courtyard

[flint escarp]

You can use all thirty, though, and just connect them in small groups and otherwise just put them close to each other connected by builder block bridges or whatever.

[cunning stratus]

That’s the chap! But ugh, non compatibility between harvest and the other ranges is grinding my gears

[heady spoke]

As far as I know none of the pieces from the HH attach to the two new sets, but the new sets attach to each other

[cunning stratus]

I hate alchemist. It’s very inflexible with making themes. Like you can add icicles to that which looks silly, but not harvest wood houses

[heady spoke]

Though I will say, it does say this in the patch notes - All Estate items, including new trims, columns, railings, and stair options, will be supported across every Home Line. (Including the Alchemist’s Cottage)

[heady spoke]

Did you try to attach anything to the HH from the Estate set yet?

[cunning stratus]

Yep, but it said it wouldn’t be compatible. I only got icicles as I wanted them for my massive grand harvest Santas workshop

[timber sierra]

@heady spoke do you know what could solve my problem? 😂

[heady spoke]

You would have to anchor them to one another, or you can use pushing (using builder's pieces and multi-select) to push them out there one by one

[timber sierra]

but its not connecting all together

[heady spoke]

They don't technically have to be. But if you want them all anchored together, you would need to use sinking/floating to anchor in chains, etc

[timber sierra]

ffs 😄

[heady spoke]

If you want a line of them, use another terrain piece to make a 2 stack, cancel place the top one next to it, then cancel place the bottom one over so the top sits closer to where it was and it will make a flush chain

[timber sierra]

i think thats not working like i want it then, well i guess i need to try diff things

ty ❤️

[heady spoke]

Have you ever seen someone make a line to tables flush or anything like that? It's done the same way

[timber sierra]

dont want them in a line

[hasty orchid]

I copied your fireplace idea, as its amazing.

[heady spoke]

You can combine them however you like, it's just an example of how to anchor the bottoms together, then from there you can stack others on top

[timber sierra]

found another way but thanks! 🙂

[tepid solstice]

This is nice

[rapid temple]

Yay! Thank you, & I’m glad you could put it to use!

[carmine moat]

is anyone still able to use the flick method? i've tried and haven't been able to after the patch, but maybe i've changed my setting or something

[feral cape]

What are u trying to flick on what?

[carmine moat]

been trying many different things! i used to use it a lot, but now i haven't been able to at all

[flint escarp]

Yes! I posted about this the other night. Worth another reminder to everyone to look in your inventory. It looks like a present, so I didn't even realize it was a bundle of tints. There's also a "wintery bundle" which has all the mushrooms needed for 5 times making the wintery tint (so 100 of the wintery tint). It looks just like a red present.

[tepid solstice]

I thought they gave us regular ones, so when I saw they were bundles, I was so happy

[flint escarp]

It was such a nice surprise to find it!

[flint escarp]

I have had no problems flicking, but there have always been somethings that don't flick well, or else places that things don't flick. So knowing what you're having trouble with specifically can help us tell you if there's a solution.

[carmine moat]

alright, that's good to know! i'll check my settings and try again 😄

[flint escarp]

As an example, the grid on the ground is often the issue, depending on what you're doing.

[hollow lantern]

I don't have this 😭

[cedar creek]

It works for me 🙂

[cedar creek]

Do you know whats the problem ? Have you tried looking really closely at the item ? Like really close ? Maybe put some glasses on just incase

[tepid solstice]

They're the present from Twitch drops

[thorn sable]

i float everything and then shimmy my anchor over till it’s where i want!

[hollow lantern]

Ohhh I thought it was just randomly one of the presents in my inventory, thank you!

[manic sandal]

We haven't changed anything with this method intentionally, though any glitch the community uses might be affected by other work we do unintentionally.

That being said, I am not aware of this method being affected in 198. You can see above there are many examples of players using the method still.

[flint escarp]

Are they? I didn't get twitch drops... I just got them probably as a login reward or else from doing the bundles. I'm really not sure, because I just dumped everything in storage without paying attention.

[tepid solstice]

Oh- Maybe logins then ? But I looted them when I took my drops

[flint escarp]

Yeah, I have no idea when we got them. I found them on like Saturday night, so it could have been from Jina's winterlights message or a login reward or the bundles, because I had completed them by then.

[heady spoke]

I keep forgetting to check my inv for that XD

[heady spoke]

It was effected, but still possible. Because of the collision check update, a lot of things have to be hung out of bounds/the anchor has to be floated away from the surface it sits on in order to flick something onto it. Multiple grids stacked/ the ground grid seem to be the issue

[flint escarp]

But this was not in this most recent patch. It's been like that for a couple patches, hasn't it?

[heady spoke]

Since right before Alchemist line I believe

Or Alchemist update itself

[feral cape]

settings should not affect flicking anymore tho

[flint escarp]

I think it was the alchemist update, actually. I remember that day in this channel very clearly... 😬

[feral cape]

this but nothing changed after that

[heady spoke]

If anything it improved a tiny bit lol. From the original "broken" state I mean

[flint escarp]

That day was a combination of very angry "We can't see through windows!" and "I can't place things out of bounds anymore!"

(Which is not true, but you just have to lift things up to place and then put them back down.)

[heady spoke]

Yep, grid changes made a few glitches a lot harder to accomplish, but still possible

Aside from bumping

[fresh shard]

Hey, thank you sure!

This is 3 estate buildings, the bottom floor is an estate on a red present, with a second house on top and I removed the middle flooring (select the top floor in overhead mode and there's an option for it)

For the elevated floor I placed the house on a red present and put that on one builders block to get the height.

You can cancel place the first house with the second story out of the way, the second story will remain and you can use it to line up where the next house will be to get them close enough together ❤️

If this doesn't make sense let me know though!!!

[flint escarp]

Oh yeah, that was the third thing that day, "My stairs are broken!" (which was only the case if you tried to make or change them, the old ones stayed)

[heady spoke]

Kinda sad about bumping but it is what it is

I can still do the things, just need to do extra steps, lol

Plus we got the cobweb so win/lose

[flint escarp]

I had never made stairs like that, nor did I have any desire to, so it really didn't matter to me, but I get that there are other uses that are gone now, too.

[fresh shard]

The cobweb, its a dream come true

[flint escarp]

OMG I love that cobweb. I'm going to make a shrine to the cobweb on one of my plots.

[heady spoke]

I liked to make little standing shelves with the pavers but that was it. I was sad about the butterfly domes

[fresh shard]

The umbraan shed with the round doors ❤️ omg

[mint pulsar]

Where do you get pirate picture frames for walls?

[flint escarp]

With luck from the prize wheel in the underground.

All the pirate stuff is from hotpot coins.

[mint pulsar]

tyvm 💜

[bright vapor]

You are wonderful!!! Thank you so much for this! I JUST successfully got a house on a red present (yay!) so I'm going to attempt haha.

[wooden rivet]

has anyone found a way to glitch the icicles on the harvest house line?

[fresh shard]

Yesss, you can float them off the red present into place. The height for small rooms is two pillars + the present tall but I dont have measurements for the other room sizes

[mint pulsar]

How do I get this floor design?

[fresh shard]

Goodluck!!! If you have any trouble just let us know 😄 and please show the results ❤️

[wooden rivet]

tyyy

[flint escarp]

This happens when you flick some of the wallpapers onto the floor. I don't know specifically which one this is.

[plucky walrus]

are there any servers dedicated to decor and plots?

have been looking for one for a whileee

[flint escarp]

This one?

[plucky walrus]

noo i mean a community server thats focused on plot design etc

[flint escarp]

Oh you mean separate from official palia server...

[plucky walrus]

yes lol something dedicated to decor

[tepid solstice]

Got extra lucky today, went fishing for my lantern and... out of 4 fishing nodes, 2 were piksii jellyfish plushies

[stiff mortar]

Need wallpapers for the cielings and trim for the walls in the new homelines too please

[flint escarp]

Now that we can connect different homelines (like alchemist and estate together), we definitely need to be able to deal with the unmatching ceilings somehow...

[fresh shard]

I flick ivy up there, but a glitchless option would be the DREAM

[celest lintel]

what's this arch called?

[fresh shard]

Builders wooden arch I believe

[mint pulsar]

does anyone know which ones?

And other question, do I get maximum 12 rooms with this?

[flint escarp]

I think so? I know it's not double, so it's not x2 going up to 20. So I'm assuming x2 means you get two increases so from 10 to 12. But only people who paid to unlock all the steps would know at this point, because that's going to require a lot of dailies to get there.

(And it would be max 12 rooms connected. You can still have 30 total on your plot.)

[mint pulsar]

tyvm 💜

[signal thunder]

is there a way to get more christmas chests? or do we only get 7 every winterlights event?

[inner cobalt]

They're from the bundles board, from the presents unlocked on each step

[tepid solstice]

Aaahh thanks ! 🫶

[bright vapor]

I got the buildings merged together!! But when I went to scoot in the lower one (with the bottom floor of the 2 story one cancel placed away) I got "something in the way" and couldnt get them close enough to overlap. Do I need to change the walls on that building before I move it over? Maybe it was the stairs or doors?

[flint escarp]

They won't scoot! It's like they can see where they are already placed so the house itself is in the way. You have to move it completely somewhere else and move it back. I mark the spot where it is with another present right next to where the current one is, and then I can figure out where to put the present when I move the house back.

[bright vapor]

Oooh! How does that work with cancel placing if they recognize that something's kinda there?

[fresh shard]

Im adding some houses like this at the moment, I'll grab a video for you.
But yeah, if you've already placed it near where you want it, it leaves an invisible wall when youre moving it again. So you have to place it completely elsewhere and then try placing again

[faint bough]

where do you get that?

[tepid solstice]

The chests you unlock in the bulletin board

[flint escarp]

I always move far away when I cancel place, but it won't place at all in the range of where it is currently placed. It's weird.

[bright vapor]

Okay! So I can cancel place but I just need to move it FAR?

[bright vapor]

Thank you!!!

[cold crag]

I wish I could add wallpaper to this to match it

[flint escarp]

Yes, that should work!

[cold crag]

Also not sure if its been mentioned but the estate base has gaps in the alchemist roof trim and the small windows clip with the wall

[bright vapor]

Oooh I messed with my walls and got them to merge!!! But how did you get this little inset part if the room is the same width?

[fresh shard]

Ohh Im glad you got it!! 🙂

What do you mean by insert?

Im editing the video real fast for you, so hopefully you'll be able to see what I did better

[bright vapor]

Thank you!! I really appreciate it!

[gentle adder]

yes it brings the max up tp 12 rooms

[floral cave]

yeah the other one doesn't match up that well either

[bright vapor]

Looking back at your photo I think I mistook the wallpaper for almost like a smaller wall jutting out if that makes sense!

[gentle adder]

It would be nice if we could just apply roof tiles to the trim itself. When you put the rtime along the lower story or along a flat roof it doesn't inherit the roof style.

[dusty dragon]

what level do I have to be to get the stairs?

[gentle adder]

level 13 of the lunar path unlocks the new stairs

[inner cobalt]

I should inherit the one from that room's roof, if not then may be bugged

[gentle adder]

the problem is if it's a first story or a flat roof there is no roof to that room

[inner cobalt]

In that case you need to change to a roof, apply the roofing and trim then change the roof back or place the 2nd storey

[fresh shard]

Okay, my apologies it took a second but this is my process for adding the elevated floor to alchemist/ estate I hope this makes sense to people

I honestly use the second story like this to line up all of my rooms now when theyre on red presents! I find it easier and more precise than flowers on the ground

[gentle adder]

when I do that it just reverts back to the standard colour

[inner cobalt]

Hmm, I know this was working when they came out, I think Seth even confirmed that, but again maybe worth reporting

[gentle adder]

I tried it again an now it work UGH after spending 45 minuts flicking the railings into place guess I will undo that all and start again

[bright vapor]

This is so helpful! My issue was not changing the front door of the house I was moving in. Thank you for sharing this!

[fresh shard]

Ahhh yes! 🙂 that'll do it lol anytime! I like open walls best for this

[fossil birch]

I love these new pods and that they actually got effects on them. Like the blinking ligths so cute

[mint pulsar]

How can I get that beauty in the first pic? 😍

[fossil birch]

It is the new smarty pods they added that patch i traded for him his name is Darwin the Smarty

[restive thistle]

I think it's weird so many people are going over the limit. I have unlocked all of my plots and fully decorated them and I have never gotten the warning

[restive thistle]

I think the effects on the Shiny pods are cute too

[gentle adder]

Oh no it doesn't work because reomving the roof removes the trim

[dusty dragon]

ok quick question

how do I make a 2story house?

[gentle adder]

You have to use either the estate or alchemist housing line and in top down view you just pick up one room as if moving it and place it ontop of ther other

[granite storm]

was doing a town so that removes the weirdness i hope. depends on decorating style and what you're using, builder's pieces up the count quickly

[restive thistle]

I have a plot where I have maxed out the number of buildings allowed and they are fully decorated. I have other plots that are populated with other decor, still looking full and complete. I really just don't get how it's so hard to stay within the limits

[granite storm]

its okay, you dont need to understand something for it to exist. all you can do is be glad you dont have that issue

[fresh shard]

I haven't even finished my kilma entrance and Im over 600 items :c

[indigo bear]

Some people like fabricating their own landscape, too! Like using the items in Kenli’s register to create hills

[fresh shard]

This, like 300 rocks placed right now

[indigo bear]

Or even sinking tables to make water. That’ll eat your budget. It’s all about how creative you are!

[flint escarp]

I'm not sure but I think if you color the trim by connecting it to a roof elsewhere and then move it, it will keep the color? I know some combination of all of this is supposed to work.

[inner cobalt]

Try placing the trim again, I may be misremembering but the color should remain in the non-roof and apply to the trim

[gentle adder]

OMG it does

[flint escarp]

Then you haven't gone over the limit... You'll only get the warning if you are over about 3725 items on your plot.

[gentle adder]

I didn't expect that to work

[floral cave]

I would love to see your plot!

[indigo wave]

Hi! I found this image and was wondering if anyone knows which decoration set the pods belong to 😊

[tepid solstice]

The pods are potato pods, the pots they're in are upside down hedges

[indigo wave]

Are they the camping hedges?

Thank you

[flint escarp]

They are supposed to just stack from the overhead housing menu. But you have to put them down first so they can fully build. You can't take a house that still looks like a blueprint out of your inventory and stack it on top.

[heady spoke]

The eyes on the blue one r so cute! (It looks like he's super excited to tell u something XD) I love the xmas look of 1 too

[fossil birch]

Yes i am alrdy exited to see the other ones

[winged wind]

i need to start trading again so i can get the new pods XD

[fossil birch]

Thats what i did currently trying to get the others

[fresh shard]

I have been trying for a full hour to get a single gazebo lined up correctly and I still dont have it, send help LOL

[feral cape]

all help i can deliver is cheering up from side xD cant line stuff to save life

[dusty dragon]

does anyone know about FNAF?

I made a freddy's mega pizzaplex server and I want to know if anyone wants to join can dm me

[fresh shard]

Its appreciated ;_; its painful (will be worth but painful)

[edgy patrol]

can we not place trees on presents in the houses anymore?

i tried it a few times and when i leave my plot and come back the tree is gone lol

[tepid solstice]

Your present needs to touch the actual ground for it to stay

[fresh shard]

Hhhhh close enough

[edgy patrol]

it is

[tepid solstice]

The grass ?

[flint escarp]

The ground outside, not the floor.

The present needs to touch grass! 🤣

[edgy patrol]

ooh like through my house floor you mean?

oh well i had no iead

[indigo bear]

same, present, same

[edgy patrol]

how do i do that?

[old peak]

Sernuk mini Stable 💕

[flint escarp]

You have a couple of options... if you are on PC and can flick, you can actually just flick your tree onto your floor and it will stay. Or you can move your house, place your tree where you want it (don't even need a present for this), cancel place the tree out of the way, then put your house back and reload your plot. Or you can float your tree off of the present but to the side of the present and hide the present to the side of your house on the ground outside.

[edgy patrol]

i tried the flick so many times and it just never works for me so thats why i was trying the present

[flint escarp]

Can you cancel place and float?

(Flicking is indeed very tricky.)

[edgy patrol]

im super new to all of the glitch stuff so maybe im doing it wrong

[quasi relic]

any tricks to sink builders bridges? i can get it to sink but not without a veeeery visible anchor. ideas?

[flint escarp]

Sorry, to be more clear... flicking is different from cancel placement, and it can be trickier. But if you can do cancel placement, you can either do the move your house to place the tree and cancel place it out of the way trick, or you can float the tree off the present (if for instance, if you don't have space to move your house or room).

[edgy patrol]

hmmm whats the easiest one without having to move my house? idk if ill be able to get it back in the right spot cause of other decor outside

@flint escarp or if you have a recommended video for me to watch that would also help and be appreciated

[signal thunder]

santas workshop slowly coming together

[flint escarp]

Cancel placement is the easiest glitch to learn, and then you can float things, too. I should have added that you can only flick if you're on PC, so that's out if you're on console. But in terms of steps, flicking will actually be easier if you can learn to flick--many fewer steps to get the tree where you want it. I would look for videos on cancellation/cancel placement and on flicking and try both. If the flicking doesn't work out but you can cancel place, then I can help walk you through what to do to float your tree using cancel placement.

[edgy patrol]

yes im on pc

[edgy patrol]

okay ill take a look at a few videos thanks

[inner cobalt]

You can also "push it" (the present inside the house) with cancel placement, like with this terrace #🏡│decor message
This is an application of what is also known as the 1 cup method, but works for moving things around

[edgy patrol]

@flint escarp am i doing something wrong? i figured id show you a clip and maybe theres something im missing

i even tried it with a smaller tree lol

[flint escarp]

That looks correct, but it's probably just timing. It's a weird glitch because you have to get the timing with placing the tree just right. Sometimes it works better to face a different direction, and to pull the pillar more into your shoulder? I think that's what @fresh shard always suggests!

[edgy patrol]

hmm okay ill give that a try and just play around with it some more, thanks for helping

[main lily]

Isn't flicking tree straight on the house floor will got it sent to the lamp zone when reload plot . Also check if that plot is one of the plot un-flick-able

[edgy patrol]

omg

[flint escarp]

No problem! I'll be close by all afternoon.

[edgy patrol]

it worked

[flint escarp]

I've flicked trees onto my houses and they stay.

[edgy patrol]

omg dude i tried this so many times like 3 months ago and gave up on it lol

[flint escarp]

YAY!!!!!

Now you can put things in lots of places they won't normally go!

[flint escarp]

Flicking onto a terrace on top of my house however did not work. And flicking onto a crate and placing the crate in the house also did not work.

[edgy patrol]

yes! super excited to do some more now lol

[fresh shard]

Yayyy! Them shoulders do wonders!! 😄

[edgy patrol]

yes you're a genius lmao

that was the second try with the shoulder too

[main lily]

Was it always like it last time I try it's keeps getting rotated sideways sunk underneath every time reload plot. #🏡│decor message

[fresh shard]

Just lots of pain, tears, trial and error xD

[edgy patrol]

yeah

[flint escarp]

Hmmm, I tried it a week or two ago and it worked in the GHH. And I flicked a tree up here the other day and it's still there after multiple trips to and from Kilima. And that house is even floating...

[fresh shard]

I flicked a tree into estate yesterday and it stayed!

[edgy patrol]

also i can see the difference from placing it on top of a present, the tree is actually sunken into the ground, with the present it isn't

[edgy patrol]

wow thats cool lol

[main lily]

Ah well, good to know, no more workaround and extra steps

[fresh shard]

I think - after all day - the structure to my house is finished ;_;

[pseudo pumice]

hi! is it possible to change the colors of the fancy trims from the estate housing line? i found that the roofing doesn't get applied to them

[edgy patrol]

33wa '' /

[agile abyss]

Is it anyone thats good at glitch that wouldn’t mind making a tutorial for this. I know it’s the hedges flipped up side down but idk how they got them on the tables like that

[hollow cloak]

Thank you sooo much to PickleMommy and Hendrick Moltenpeak for showing me how to pop the estate housing on terraces (still WIP)

[flint escarp]

That looks fantastic!!!

[hollow cloak]

It can be a little finicky but so far I've found that if you change the roof colour the trim should change at the same time

[hollow cloak]

it was so easy in the end - just needed to space the red presents apart at the right distances remove the walls before adding the next piece and tada!!!

[muted pawn]

anyone decorated thee cottagehouses i need inspo but its hard to find any through the board /:

[flint escarp]

Once you've got them flipped, you use cancel placement to move either the table or the upside down hedge out of the way and then place the other thing and reload... @winged wind made a written tutorial with pictures a while back about the hedges, though... #🏡│decor message

[agile abyss]

Tysm ♥️😭

[inner cobalt]

They should inherit the roofing of the roof they are attached to while still attached to it
Maybe the dormers if free placed (not on the nodes) unless they fixed that

[fresh shard]

My houses are always so ugly from H view xD

[rancid orchid]

I can't even understand mines in H view.

[languid jacinth]

ill have to check on that. thank you

[knotty bloom]

@inner cobalt I got one from mining iron, its all metals, different plush for a different metal.

[viscid gust]

when are we gonna be able to tint the stove and prep stationnnnssss

[real sand]

You can't apply the wallpaper to the windmill

I have my estate house painted and the windmill just plain white looks ugly

[fresh shard]

The new one??? Thats so disappointing 😞

[real sand]

Buh, I completed pass for the coins to get it and you cant paint it

Disappointment

[lavish canyon]

Would anyone like to post what they've done to their pond in their plot (the one out of bounds) so maybe I can get some ideas! Currently working on a new plot and I need to do something to that area. Thanks in advance ♥

[wooden rivet]

That's so stupid, they keep messing up the new house lines, just today i saw someone that used the new line's fence to make a terrace and they don't even fit correctly. It seems like they didn't take measurements into account when making it possible to place fences on top of the base room which is stupid... Seems like some of the things they've been releasing lately are kinda rushed imo. So disappointing 😭

I'd much rather wait a bit longer if it means the new housing lines function properly

[real sand]

The fence is also a problem yes, I was thinking it would link to each other kind of like a miners tracks but it doesn't

So miners tracks are still the way for a nice looking fence in my opinion

You can also see it on my screenshot

[feral cape]

(me, still waiting to get anything other then base room from estate :V )

[wooden rivet]

At least u found a work around that works for you ❤️ but yeah big disappointment in this update all around. Don't get em started on the freaking icicles not working on the hh 🙄

[winged wind]

yeah, i know they’re a WIP but i do wish they were a bit more polished before release </3

[wooden rivet]

Shshsh yeah, i kinda don't like having to wait a whole month to get the entire line

[real sand]

Well you can still use the new house lines for some interesting things, just not really the intended things

[wooden rivet]

I feel like they're trying to make everybody happy but they're shooting themselves in the foot. That's unrealistic, someone will always be unhappy and when u rush things your work won't be as good as it could be but hey it's what we have atm, can't really do much about it unfortunately

[winged wind]

yeah i’d rather just wait too xD

[wooden rivet]

I'm just not really that creative to make insane builds but if people are having fun playing around with the new houses I'm happy for them ^^ some of us can be happy at least 😩

[fresh shard]

Yeah I did a build with my friends estate cause she got the whole thing, its really hard to make some of the pieces look right glitch free 🙁

[real sand]

Yeah, I had some issues with decorating back in 0.170 because couldn't think of anything, but now if i need inspiration i just go to home tour and check some insane builds people do

Take some ideas here and there

[wooden rivet]

Yeah, I'm just reeeeeally lazy to figure out some things ppl do unless there's a tut somewhere lol. Idk even how how they figure out they can do certain things 😩 but for the most part i steal ideas too :3

But i always try to put my own spin on it if it's not too hard to change some things

[hollow cloak]

If I'm visiting someone's plot and I like something they've done and I mention that I might steal their idea usually they're really stoked about it so imitation really is a sincere form of flattery 🙂

[fresh shard]

If someone came over and told me they were taking an idea from my plot Id melt from happiness omg

[winged wind]

new discoveries </3

valley sunrise desk: doesn't work with alablaster

dragontide orchid planter: doesn't work with noir, harmony, alablaster, wintery, or slate

[hollow cloak]

I am ABSOLUTELY certain people have stolen ideas from you SnailSnack!!! You are a LEGEND!

[winged wind]

• valley sunrise candelabra doesn't work with alablaster

[fresh shard]

That is beyond kind, thank you very much. I appreciate it 🙂

[zenith plover]

The flowers are gorgeous

[winged wind]

huge wip but omg i love the new stringlights sm 🥹

[winged wind]

ikr they're some of my faves

[zenith plover]

This is gorgeous, Seeing your decor is making me want to decorate so much right now 😁

[winged wind]

aw ty!! i just got back into decorating after being on a month long hiatus LOL

i keep staying up til like 1am just decorating 🤣

debating the best way to glitch these on here since you can't rotate them...

[zenith plover]

Haha I can see why. You definitely put a lot of effort into your decor. I love it. Is it okay if I use some of your decor as inspiration? 😇

[winged wind]

ofc!!!

i take inspo from others all the time XD pinterest is great for ideas too!

[winged wind]

...just don't look at the rest of my house LMAO

[zenith plover]

Oh perfect thank you for the tip about Pinterest 😇

[zenith plover]

Very much like how my house is atm 🤣🤣

[winged wind]

mine's become an absolute MESS now that we can't put tints back into storage

[zenith plover]

Mine has just been a mess anyway, I just keep finding things I want to place down and then it's all cluttered 🤣 Think I need to have a look and kinda chose a theme 😇

[winged wind]

yeah that's an issue i have. if i don't pick a designated theme (whether that be the 'feel' i want, colors, etc) i tend to lose what the original idea was

i wish we had more short/small curtains

[flint escarp]

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you can flick them onto a builders wall (at least if they work like the alchemist cottage windows). I didn't end up using them in my final build of this, but I'm almost positive I flicked them to get them here. Then you can use the one cup method to slide the wall into the house wall to hide it.

[winged wind]

might try this! i can flick them like normal on one side, but they don't rotate </3

[zenith plover]

Yeah I get that, My problem will be that I'll hyper focus on a theme for like a week and then after that I'll be like ummmm yeah I don't like it now and will do it to another theme 😭🤣

[swift lance]

Is emberborn furniture set still a thing? Where do I find it?

[winged wind]

you unlock it through completing one of the nightsky bundles ^^ i believe it's the leaf one?

[flint escarp]

If I remember correctly, you unlock a few pieces with each part of one of the temple bundles and then learn a few others from inspiration.

[swift lance]

Ohhhh okay thank you both!

[fresh shard]

So I've had the recipes I just haven't crafted? G2G

[flint escarp]

You mean for emberborn? Possibly...

[winged wind]

well.

🤣

[flint escarp]

Okay, so that worked... 🤣

What the heck did I do? Did you try facing the wall in the same orientation as the wall it worked on?

Flicking often depends on the way you are facing.

[winged wind]

sigh

[flint escarp]

I'm going to have to go try this again, so I can figure out what I did to make it work. Give me a little bit...

[winged wind]

mmm maybe not, lemme try that

[fresh shard]

Flick it on the builders wall while facing west!

[winged wind]

worked! :D

[flint escarp]

Oh phew! I was definitely questioning my own memory there, but I thought maybe it had to do with the direction you're facing. I know it does for other things, but the windows are a little... special sometimes.

[fresh shard]

Yess, west is forwards, east is for backwards, and north and south are sideways for wall objects I thinkkkk

[winged wind]

how do i actually merge the wall into the wall though? alt+selecting with a builders piece doesn't seem to be working

[flint escarp]

You should be able to do it with the one cup method, with the bonus that it's a builders piece so you don't have to put another one on it. Just cancel place the wall onto the side of a crate and then group select with the crate and slide it over however far you need to.

Just make sure you get it onto the side of the crate and not on the floor--I usually have to turn off the grid for this step because it wants to snap to the floor and doesn't always attach to the crate.

[winged wind]

ohhh wait yeah, i'm just an idiot XD

[flint escarp]

Definitely not! You have really mastered some of this stuff!!

[winged wind]

i need to push it in a bit farther, but do these look like the same height...? i swear the right one in a teensy bit higher up

[flint escarp]

It might be a tiny bit higher based on the wallpaper.

[winged wind]

before i go to all this work though, do the small ones look okay ? or should i try the taller ones

[flint escarp]

It’s barely noticeable though.

[winged wind]

but... i'll notice...

[flint escarp]

It would be interesting to see how the taller ones will work! I like that they look more like windows.

[winged wind]

(i can't wait to actually be able to see through these windows lmao)

[loud pulsar]

hii, i have a question to ask but before i ask this question, can we talk about glitching decor items or is it prohibited?

[flint escarp]

Fair enough! I would feel the same way!

[winged wind]

god i sure hope not scrolls up

[fresh shard]

You're in the right place 🙂 its okay, even one of the devs was asking how to do something the other day

[flint escarp]

Lots of glitch talk in here, even with one of the developers.

[flint escarp]

This is when I would use one of the actual placed windows as the “something is in the way” item. You can get the placement exactly how you want it and it will just pop back to where you had it before when you flick the new window from your inventory.

[winged wind]

oops

[flint escarp]

I do really like those windows, though (even with your oops).

[winged wind]

yeah i think i like these better :3 time to fix my oops

[loud pulsar]

pheww ok, good to know. so i used to have my pergola glitched to this small room but i removed it temporarily to readjust it but now i cant anymore. But somehow the pergola can be placed anywhere on the house now so any help/suggestions please?

i cant tell if i did smth wrong.

[acoustic comet]

sorry to interrupt the current convo yall can ignore me for a minute. Does anyone have any cute pantry rooms to share? I'm looking for cottage witch slash goblin core vibes, lots of plants and green and stuff

[loud pulsar]

I used the "how to place ground furniture indoors by jasminemf19" tutorial

[winged wind]

well that didn''t work LMAO

[flint escarp]

You must have flicked it there before, because it wouldn't go inside until recently. So you can still flick it even though it can normally be placed inside now, because in the little hallway you have the "something is in the way" message.

[winged wind]

okay phew

[agile abyss]

This is gorg omg

[winged wind]

might raise the curtains up a smidge though

[winged wind]

ty!!

[loud pulsar]

can you elaborate a little more on this because i'm not understanding it. Is there anywhere i can fix this issue? Thank you!

[winged wind]

okay there, that's better

[winged wind]

you mean how to flick? (flicking is a glitching method)

[winged wind]

......

istg i'm about to just slap a big ol hedge there and call it a day

[loud pulsar]

no, i think i know how to flick? but idk why its not working recently

is this flicking?

[winged wind]

it can be a bit finicky with certain items

[inner cobalt]

When you say "rotate", do you meant like place horizontal or with the round part down? If so, then flick on a wall but rotate the wall first, would that work?

[loud pulsar]

i know it can finicky but they are being stubborn because i have been trying this for teh past few days and I'm getting tired 😭🙏

[winged wind]

flicking is used to place items where they can't normally go

step 1. place down a temporary item that you'll use to "flick" the item you actually want there into a certain spot
step 2. pick up the temp item, place it where you want to put the permanent item, but make sure it says the "something is in the way" message
step 3. instead of placing the item, you're going to hold down the place button and press the number key on your hotbar associated with the item you're actually trying to place there

if it worked, your temp item should've snapped back to where it was placed before, and your permanent item should be in the new location 🙂

there are some tutorials on yt though if you prefer visual guides ^^

[winged wind]

i got it ! i just wanted to rotate it horizontally, so flicking it on a wall worked 🥳

[loud pulsar]

ahh i see, it worked like two secs after i told u but i had to pick it up because it wasnt in the right position but now i cant anymore. Thank you very much!

[acoustic comet]

maybe a dumb question but can I ask what tint that is? or whatever it's called? I have no idea what tinting is lmao

[winged wind]

alablaster! ^^

[flint escarp]

I spent months trying to flick something that isn't flickable, so I feel you. But it should still work... I would maybe try a different item than the red present just in case it's that. Make sure you place it down first (don't pull it out of your inventory) and then move it to the spot where you are standing to be "in the way." Then it sometimes works better if you turn so your shoulder is in the way of placing the item down.

[flint escarp]

Mine doesn't have tons of plants, but I feel like a lot of people don't put windows in their pantries and I love my window and little planter box there...

[winged wind]

why is this thing so humungous

[loud pulsar]

it workeddd thank you and @winged wind soo much!! here is my little finished reading nook!

[winged wind]

AAA that's so cute!!! ❤️

[flint escarp]

Yay! It looks great!

[fresh shard]

I love that omg

[winged wind]

yep i hate it

[loud pulsar]

tysmm <333

[flint escarp]

Also, this is very much a work in progress (there will ultimately be a wall and doorway into this and obviously I haven't filled it much yet) but here is my hobbit hole pantry. You might like all the hanging plants...

[loud pulsar]

lovee thiss, it looks so elegantt

[acoustic comet]

can I ask (again maybe a stupid question lol) where that pergola is from? I need it right now immediately!

[loud pulsar]

THIS IS SOO COOLL and smarttt <33 like a spice drying rackkk i llove itt

[winged wind]

thank youuu the dresser just has to go LOL

[real sand]

Hello everyone, I have some issues with chest limit on plot. I have most of my chests on my other plot but to move them I need to take out a lot of materials...
What do you think about some cosmetic chests that just allow you to access the storage? They wont increase space, just acess to storage

[loud pulsar]

its spring fever! (no it is NOT a stupid question!)

[winged wind]

i need something smaller

[winged wind]

i'd love cosmetic chests

[acoustic comet]

omggg yes! That's exactly the kinda vibe I'm looking for. I have an entire small room I plan to make into a little pantry lol

[real sand]

Just so you dont have to juggle with the main ones

[flint escarp]

This is what I do! I don't really like the pink ones so I am gradually replacing them with better looking chests and moving the palium ones to a spare plot or hiding them.

[loud pulsar]

coloured it berry to fit the vibess~

[feral cape]

you can place up to 8 on each plot and it counts only the most upgraded ones to your storage final

[real sand]

Wait really?

[feral cape]

yup, i have way more than i should scattered everywhere XD

[real sand]

I havent tried because now, just a couple updates ago it wouldnt let me so i didnt know they changed that

[acoustic comet]

tysm!

[flint escarp]

Yes! You can only max at the 8 palium chest 14000 items, but you can have 8 chests on every plot.

[feral cape]

there was a time it was bugged for some time but it got fixed

[real sand]

Alright, thanks. That solves my problem then

[flint escarp]

I added moonstruck wall decor in there along with the flowers that are already on the pergola, so there's more variety!

[winged wind]

actually about to shed a tear. i caught some of these earlier but tossed them because i didn't know i needed them for a TINT

[acoustic comet]

yess I saw the flower things from the moonstruck wall decor I almost-but-didn't buy lmao. thank you so much!

[winged wind]

i will say though - now we need hanging string lights that go down

i wonder if i could DIY them 🤣

[feral cape]

it depends what exactly u mean by that but i think it can be easily glitched there

[winged wind]

like this

[feral cape]

after i stacked them it let me anchor them in this position to lower pillar and pick up higher one after, the rest is just floating as always

[frosty quail]

Does anyone have tips for hanging things over the front door of the Grand harvest house?

[winged wind]

depends what you're trying to hang

if you're trying to hang lights/fans/etc; you can hide floors inside the ceiling

if right above the door; you can use a pillar and float something off it. that's what i did here for the wreath above my door

also ignore that my porch is empty i tore everything down to redo it LOL

[frosty quail]

I saw a video today and she didn’t go over details on decorating. But she had curtains a wreath and flowers

[winged wind]

it's a little weird if it shows the strand, but i'll work on it. might just have to turn the grid off

[winged wind]

that's so pretty

[frosty quail]

I was able to get lights hanging but nothing over the door

[frosty quail]

This is from the video i watched

[feral cape]

these pillars were used to float it from them

tfu, not even that, they were used to hold the sideways one that it sits on

[winged wind]

yeah i was gonna say, they look like they're sideways. i didn't even see the pillars though

my brain stops working after 9pm

[frosty quail]

Oh wow that is above my ability I think. I didn’t even see those. Thank you

[feral cape]

okay, so u have here pillars on right and left side of the doors with one pillar anchored sideways, i can show u how to do this tho

[winged wind]

do the hanging light look weird without the black strands? it casts a weird shadow on the wood, and it kinda bows out because the strands don't lay flat

i might try putting some flowers above the bed though, so it might not stand out too much

[winged wind]

(this has inspired me 🤣)

[frosty quail]

Me too!

[frosty quail]

https://youtu.be/WE_qVACMYzU?si=J3hz3xWw5CTAiv-6

[winged wind]

i've never tried to put flowers on the ceiling before though, so this'll be interesting LOL

what method does it use? i know there's a hidden pillar attached to the floors

[frosty quail]

I’ve done it before but not sure how she did it

[flint escarp]

It looks like there are floors on the ceiling of the porch.

[feral cape]

yup, pretty visible floors

you can do it this way or do it in a way that they are more hidden if u want

[winged wind]

yeah i wanna flip mine upside down though

[flint escarp]

They are merged together so they look narrower, but those are floors. Actually, just watched the video and they aren't merged, it's just the angle.

[winged wind]

(different subject from what meggy's been talking about)

[frosty quail]

You use a wall and rotate it then place a floor and decorate it

Well thank you guys, I will see if I can figure out how to get those pillars in there!

[winged wind]

okay i got it :3 now to spend 500 hours deciding how to place every flower LMAO

[fresh shard]

Making a lila stern inspired stove in noir, Im so in love with this tint omg omg omg and the string lighhtttsss

I still need to add a back to it, amd pipes and more vents but ahhh

[stiff shard]

It’s a warm Christmas over here ⛄️☀️

[coral karma]

how was this achieved? when I place sandstone it's just 1 big slab, "Sandstone Flagstone Paver"

[earnest barn]

https://tenor.com/view/disneytoons-cartoons-toons-animation-movies-gif-14333148393352215043

[earnest barn]

paving stones are 'broken' right now, so they all look big. Once it's fixed you will be able to put the various sizes down again
