Core Keeper Base Building

[jaunty hare]

Since a lot of people ask for help and ideas regarding the creation of their own bases, I thought it would be a really nice idea to create a thread!

This is a safe place for you to share your thoughts on discoveries about decorating a base, or simply creating nice scenes of your own!

Feel free to share anything you feel would fit this thread! ❤️

I'm gonna start with a few of the things I use when I need to have ideas for base building. This is an image I've created to help me remember all types of colored items we have in the game. From rugs, to Loose Flooring tiles, to even dressers and such!

Did you know about all of these? Or did you miss some?

[copper walrus]

I just love how the pink one looks.

I'm taking some notes right here.

[toxic zodiac]

towels!

also, I put my sawmill in a forest because I thought that's cool and thematic

also restored the ruin to make a cavelink warrior set shrine but I cant find the fremen chest for some reason xD

[jaunty hare]

So, this is one thing I use a lot! These little things on the ground are the Loose Flooring tiles! Painted black, green, purple and white!
You can use them to look like a little bit of grass, some rocks, mushrooms, even charcoal if you'd like to make a forge room!

As you can see, there's also yellow there, which can be achieved by placing yellow Flower Vessels (from the Wilderness) on the ground and breaking them

[copper walrus]

Also doing something like this with all armors and weapons sets.

[timber shoal]

ahh these sunny beaches

[toxic zodiac]

ginger friendly beach days at the core xD

[jaunty hare]

They can look like charcoal or even roof tiles broken on the ground xD

[toxic zodiac]

when your doctor says "just one drink a day" xD

[copper walrus]

Oh god I really like this one.

[toxic zodiac]

yeah me too it has a lot of atmosphere

[jaunty hare]

I love that room xD

[toxic zodiac]

here's a bathroom that I made, nothing too special BUT the first room tile has a hidden pressure plate so that when you enter and exit the light goes on and off automatically

[jaunty hare]

You can also use mannequins to make your room feel a little bit more lively! (or creepy)

[toxic zodiac]

yupp I use one as a scarecrow, too

can really add to the storytelling of farms and fields

[jaunty hare]

Yeaah!

@oblique lanternI think you might also like this channel xD

Green pedestals look like little vases... sooooo
You add some moss and BOOM, there you go. A little potted plant

[toxic zodiac]

oh thats nice

[jaunty hare]

The moss from the stone biome also works really well for snowy areas
I'm actually using this in my base xD

You can also use the Easter Pedestals to create vases, and this is the set I like the most! makes it really look like the sapling is growing!

[toxic zodiac]

obligatory caveling-plates + posh pedestals as barrels post:

[jaunty hare]

Also, the blue pedestals look like they have a little stem coming out of the ground, so you can also use some items inside of them to create other types of potted plants!

[jaunty hare]

Never tried this before!

[toxic zodiac]

ohhh the mini tree is cool

[jaunty hare]

People have also been sharing the usage of pedestals inside of pedestals to create the illusion of a nice little pillar xD

Credits go to @oblique lantern for finding one of these and getting us to try it!

[toxic zodiac]

jungle ground inside terf ground to make a subtle little plant bed

also maze floor is excellent as a little tree-pot

works with the two temple ones, too

single fence posts are good to create dock aesthetics

[jaunty hare]

Hoed grass ground can also make for nice little flower beds, or even a pathway! It's one of my favorite grounds, actually. They also work as moved ground for a cemetery.

[toxic zodiac]

one of those graves needs a candle!

how'd you get the leaves on the tilled ground tho?

[jaunty hare]

Also, wood bridges paired with wood floors can make it look like stairs!

[jaunty hare]

I still have to add a lot of things to my cemetery like that xD

[jaunty hare]

Which ones you mean?

[toxic zodiac]

that's not path tiles is it?

love the bridge lanterns btw!

[jaunty hare]

Oh that's a tip I said above! But I didn't actually show how I did it.
When you put a flower vessel on the ground and then break it, the result are a few yellow leaves on the ground ^^

It can make it really look like a natural forest, if you try

[toxic zodiac]

ohhh clever I'm gonna steal that

[jaunty hare]

xD

[oblique lantern]

thx for showing me this soul

[oblique lantern]

made a small demonstration for lit floors

they seem much brighter than when you put floors over them, so dont overestimate
this goes both ways, putting a lot of them nearby will increase the lighting greatly, as seen here, each square except for the colored ones is lit

[craggy lake]

It won't light up the whole room, but you can stick Glowbugs in little pockets and they make for a pretty effect. They fly over fences, but not pedestals.

It gets a bit excessive if you stick too many in one spot. Also manually placed bugs don't despawn.

[oblique lantern]

can you cacth glowbugs?

[craggy lake]

Yup! With a Bug Net. It's just a little bit of fiber and wood at the Tin Workbench.

[toxic zodiac]

its too bad they can't be fenced

[craggy lake]

Ye, and the way fences are at the moment, they're not all that great for keeping grounded bugs contained either.

[toxic zodiac]

you're not wrong. I just release a dozen around my base now and then to keep population up

[craggy lake]

But pedestals work. Weirdly.

[toxic zodiac]

hey, a lamp is a lamp

[jaunty hare]

Do they really not despawn?

I saw so many people talking about the fact that they despawn!

[craggy lake]

The naturally occurring ones do, but I've had my trio of Leafhoppers around my base for days.

enough days that you could call it a week

[jaunty hare]

Now I think I might test that as well, counting days for these 🤔

[toxic zodiac]

yeah they just fly away I think that's what people are confusing. NPC critters and slimes are really good at finding obscure paths and ending up where you wouldn't expect

[final pebble]

@jaunty hare thought I should share some of my firefly decor so here I am! I have a sort of starry/glow worm-like core area and a fairy garden in my first world.

[jaunty hare]

Too beautiful not to share! Just comes to show how these things can be used to create amazing scenery!

[final pebble]

The trres from the wilderness look great clumped together too.

Tried to make a heart shape in my 2nd world, my character Fae is hiding in there 😉

[jaunty hare]

I also did the same with my Cherry Blossom event trees

[final pebble]

Very nice!

[jaunty hare]

You can def create something that looks really stuffed with trees 😂

[final pebble]

I really did love that event, the cherry blossom trees are gorgeous!

Oh wow, that's so cool!

[jaunty hare]

Also, just a reminder that the flower petals from the Valentine's Day event really match with the colors of the Pink Cherry Tree, so it can look like the petals have fallen a bit

You can also use the purple Loose Flooring to make the same effect, although the flower petals work a little bit better

[final pebble]

The white blossoms from the Easter event go well with them too!

I used red fireflies in here btw

[jaunty hare]

They also work for these little pink vases from the Valentine's Day event

[jaunty hare]

That is so cute!

The Wood Bridges also work for a nice type of flooring :3

[final pebble]

Thanks, I'm definitely trying to get a lot more creative with my decorations!

[jaunty hare]

Best tip: Putting random things on the ground makes it look a lot more natural than you could think, try it!

[final pebble]

And yeah, I tried stone but it didn't give the right mood so I stuck with wood

[jaunty hare]

I can see that! This is really nice!

[jaunty hare]

I think the decision was perfect ❤️

[final pebble]

Thanks! I wanted to give it a sort of picnic feeling or maybe a nature retreat for cherry blossom viewings.

I even stuck a bed in there for naps XD

Well, it's not like we have any reclining chairs in the game. 😛

omg can you imagine if we had more beach decor like those and umbrellas?

We could probably fake a towel with the carpeting by painting it

[jaunty hare]

You should take a look at the messages above!

Some people get really creative with these!

[jaunty hare]

Referring to this one specifically, SO PRETTY!

[final pebble]

Yeah I just skimmed through the earlier messages and pictures and you're right!

That definitely does look like a couple of towels

[craggy lake]

The best part is that you can "rotate" them, too.

[final pebble]

That is a good idea, once I set up a sunken sea base I'll have to try it out!

Hmm, I wonder if we could make a sort of Spa-like area using mold ground for the smoke, stone, and mold water? That could be interesting. A shame our characters can't swim XD

Or wait, that would be a Sona wouldn't it? We could use mold ground and wood then.

getting crazy ideas already

[final pebble]

Before I forget, the green rugs look great on turf ground, kind of like woven grass which reminds me of crop circles which is kinda what gave me this idea

[toxic zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/signs-aliens-gif-11680616

[final pebble]

Ironically I actually rewatched Signs recently for the first time in years.

[oblique lantern]

if you look at this in a way, its sort of like an archway

[final pebble]

Nice catch, that was actually my plan! 😉

[oblique lantern]

its really nice, hope they add a lot more things we can make in the future for builders

[final pebble]

I'm sure they will!

[toxic zodiac]

It's too bad you cant put fence gates between walls to create torch anchors for fenced areas

[final pebble]

It really is, but we make do with what we've got! And yeah, I was going to set up my gate normally until I had a stroke of brilliance to move part of it up to mimic one of these you'd see at a Ranch.

[final pebble]

"I'm reworking my workshop but I do like this setup. Removed some smelters though so it's less cluttered since I have a base in the desert where I do a lot more of my bar making." Quoting myself since I accidentally posted this in my CK media page for Fae. XD

[jaunty hare]

xD

I like the armor behind it all!

[final pebble]

Thanks! It helped me keep things organized early on when smelting for bars

There's no gold armor though so I had one just for the gold bars between scarlet and octarine

[jaunty hare]

Makes sense!

[final pebble]

Here's the new setup btw, still working on the rest mainly for looks this time around. XD

I use the smelter in front of the galaxite anvil for gold now.

[final pebble]

Yay! My Spa idea worked! I made a border of stone ground first, filled the rest with mold ground, hoed it, then layered a couple of glowing tiles painted white under the coal pits and covered it carpet I also painted white. Then I just set up some stone caveling chairs and Christmas lights here and there and there you have it! And its ironic too that you can't stay in there too long just like a real spa because of the mold debuff. XD

[jaunty hare]

OOOH THIS LOOKS SO AWESOME!

That is a really nice idea, honestly. I think it's perfect!

[final pebble]

Thanks! Anyone is free to borrow the idea too!

[craggy lake]

Oh yeah! I like using mold ground for kitchens for that same idea. I wonder how we could make that work for a hot tub area?

[final pebble]

I thought about that, it might be my next experiment. Maybe we could try something with those hot rocks from the lava biome?

The acid water might look believable as hot spring water and we could do the fog thing with the mold ground again.

Either that or the mold water itself.

[craggy lake]

I don't think you can stick the hot rocks on anything that isn't lava, though. Unless they changed that?

I remember being disappointed the first time I tried.

[final pebble]

I'm not sure since I haven't done much with those rocks in general XD

Should be easy enough to make a natural looking hot spring using the desert rocks though around some water like this.

[craggy lake]

I'd say it's a shame we can't hop in the water, but everything that's not normal water seems unsafe.

Yes even the sea water. Especially the sea water.

[final pebble]

Yeah, plus underground rivers are deathtraps irl O-O

[craggy lake]

Yeah

But there is a bathing area scene in the metropolises

[final pebble]

Yeah, there's a pool in Stardew Valley too

[craggy lake]

Ye, but you actually get to swim in that

I never had time to make proper use of it outside of multiplayer, though.

[final pebble]

The spa I made earlier is probably the closest we can get. XD

And yeah, I rarely used it either

We're getting buckets in the next update though right? Maybe we could ask for craftable bathtubs for a buff or something even if we never end up being able to swim.

[craggy lake]

Ooh

[final pebble]

It's a shame we have these swimsuits in the game but nowhere to use them since the beach is dangerous...

[craggy lake]

Right?

[final pebble]

🦀

Death by crabs

[craggy lake]

so I made this with particles turned down, and turned them up to actually catch them in a screenshot

I think my kitchen is burning

[final pebble]

That's a pretty cool set up! I just went for a campfire theme in my desert base

[craggy lake]

ooh

[final pebble]

Might remove the mats since I need lots for my main base XD

[craggy lake]

I know that feeling. Forever ago I cheesed out a stockpile by abusing the glitch where you sometimes get extra items from digging them up without it actually digging them up.

[final pebble]

I've noticed that too with slimes mostly

[craggy lake]

Yeah. It throws off my inventory management when I'm removing old projects

but as far as bugs go, I'll take accidental extras over them getting lost

[final pebble]

True enough. XD

[jaunty hare]

Did you guys create a kitchen in your bases?

I kinda need ideas for mine, I really don't like anything I've been doing ;-;

[acoustic depot]

im in the middle of moving mine, but

left chest are crops, right chest are fish, middle chest are foods that i already made

the slime is the chef

there are stone tiles underneath the chests and placables

[craggy lake]

admittedly I took some ideas from one of the teaser tweets for the one I shared

I liked the white pedestals as counters idea

[acoustic depot]

the bait craft table fits as a regular cutting board

would be nice if we could remove the stuff on it

[craggy lake]

gimme a sec to dig up the little kitchen in my ocean vacation base

[acoustic depot]

my fisherman npc lives better than me

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, I've done a few things in the past but there are things I like and things I dislike. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.

[craggy lake]

oh yeah, I forgot it was this tiny

The kitchen is smaller than the bathroom on this base

[acoustic depot]

so far this is what ive got in my new base

im mostly just moving everything over so the room sizes are similar

cuz my old base is in the middle of where i want my mine track to go :/

and i had this cool crisscross pattern with the sunrays for my farm

keeps it well lit

but not blinding

[acoustic depot]

slowly turning this crack den into a crack home

[jaunty hare]

I love your ideas, guys. I have to say I got inspired a little bit ❤️

I still have a lot to do, but I think now my kitchen is starting to feel a little bit better

[craggy lake]

I hope this channel gets flooded when Creative Mode comes out

[jaunty hare]

I'd love to see other people's creations in creative mode. Honestly sometimes you guys have ideas that I never thought of

[craggy lake]

I forgot that we have a calendar decoration, and I feel like that would also look good in a kitchen area

[jaunty hare]

Yees! I used that!

And the paintings on the wall as well. I'm still trying to create the other side of my kitchen area

But it's a weird shape, idk what I'll have to do ;-;

[craggy lake]

Or rather, I didn't register the calendar as a decoration, and always thought of it as the thing that makes the NPC show up

Ooh. Weird shaped kitchens are fun, though.

[jaunty hare]

I agree! But mine is a weird rectangle with weirdly places entrances (to make it better for us to travel through spaces)

This is what's breaking my mind trying to create something creative there T_T

[craggy lake]

I don't know the exact layout, but I want to suggest marking out the most common paths you take through it, so that way the area is divided into smaller sections that you puzzle out separately

which is more of a general rule that has made base building so much easier for me

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, that's what I did before and what I'm trying to do now

It just limits my ideas though ;-;

[craggy lake]

I would add more, but I'm still awful at the connecting things together properly part of base building

...This mess is what my main base looks like. The grids are just warehouses, and there's a forge/sorter in the middle, and that's a tea garden where I told myself I'd make a kitchen area above it

With a wonderful view of my christmas storage >.>

[jaunty hare]

Awww I love the garden!

[craggy lake]

I really should swap my easter and christmas storage boxes so it's less jarring

[jaunty hare]

I try to plan ahead about the placement of my rooms when I can, but sometimes the "in between" areas are a bit weird. I took me lots of tries to get what I really wanted

[craggy lake]

I have a sprawling storage area because I like having a small display of the items in each section

[jaunty hare]

That is indeed really nice!

Makes me rethink my entire storage area xD

[craggy lake]

Like this

And that empty spot is a bit of future proofing. Which I guess is where Meadow stuff is going to go

[jaunty hare]

I totally understnad that, that's something I also try to do

This is my storage area, btw

Actually just part of it 😅

[craggy lake]

ooh

I understand how things get that big. I still haven't set up a spot for my armor and figurines on this world.

[jaunty hare]

All chest with nothing on the pedestals are empty, waiting for future content

I truly have a lot of empty space

[final pebble]

I ended up redesigning my workshop since I wanted to give it a bit more personality so here's before...

...and after!

Once we can rotate chests and stuff I might make some small adjustments to the setup but I'm happy with how it turned out!

[jaunty hare]

Oh good lord! That looks FANTASTIC!

[final pebble]

Thanks! I did something similar to my desert base but used the scarlet floor tiles. The lava ground looks a lot better though for this area since I don't need to hide any wiring.

[jaunty hare]

Yeeah, I agree on that! I'm waiting for the buckets so I can also bring lava to my base xD

[final pebble]

I'm using a bucket mod atm so in a way I just have it early lolz

[jaunty hare]

I wonder if we'll be able to put glass bridges on top of lava as well. I wanted to create something like that :3

[final pebble]

And yeah! I sure hope we can!

[jaunty hare]

LOL xD
I'm trying to do everything vanilla. I was already given a few chests that I wouldn't be able to get yet

[final pebble]

I did everything vanilla in my first world which is why I let myself use mods now. XD

Did the same thing for Skyrim and I tend to have that mindset for most games if modding is an option. 😉

Well...actually I DID use a fishing mod but that's only because I really don't enjoy fishing in most games.

[craggy lake]

I'm looking forward to non-modded buckets so I can get fancier with my water storage, and not have to think about how I'm going to have to set up a trench every time I want a pond or radioactive sea water lighting.

[final pebble]

Same here. I'm glad they're being added

[timber shoal]

2x2 water pools 😆

for infinite water

[acoustic depot]

As long as the room it's in doesn't look like a room and lacks a bed, it should be fine

[final pebble]

I might have gone a bit overboard redesigning my bedroom but at least it sticks to my flower/forest theme. XD

I shared this earlier with someone and I'm looking forward to readjusting the set up once I have more figurines, especially the bosses!

Ah, and here's the old bedroom where I was experimenting with lighting before I got the glow tiles. The purple was a bit overpowering so I tried to mix in some blue to help with that.

[jaunty hare]

I love it!!! You're so creative! 😍

[jaunty hare]

SOOOO, user Kalabera has done something pretty nice by using Cross Circuits as tiles in their base, so I thought I'd share their creation here:
https://discord.com/channels/851842678340845600/1103335653527269466

Now I'm thinking about what patterns we're able to create with those.

I really like this one, I've used Delay Circuits as well ^^

[toxic zodiac]

wow tha's pretty dope

[acoustic depot]

destroying my base just to get some sunrays in :/

only problem is they dont really blend nicely

especially on lighter flooring

[toxic zodiac]

Yeah, break up the relatively uniform floor pattern with some variation/decoration. There's been a few nice tips here, like breaking jungle/dersert flowers to spawn petals or using the easer flower seeds. Maybe one or two bigger things, too. It will make the pattern on the floor instantly less noticable.
Also if you wanna put some work into it you can make the pattern less invasive looking by just creating set of blob shapes with a big light blob in the middle and a few smaller blobs off to around it.

[lucid tide]

How do you move the ruin arch or the pottery without breaking them?

[toxic zodiac]

ruins can be harvested with the pickaxe pottery dug up with a shovel

[jaunty hare]

A tip here would be: Use your walls to create the shapes you need! Break the ceiling around the place you want it, but don't forget to place down walls.
Putting a wall in a space where there's light from the ceiling will cover the hole on the ceiling. So if you put a wall down and then remove it, it will no longer have light in that specific tile 😄

You can make it so that it looks like the holes on the ceiling are a little bit more "rounded", so they look a little bit more natural :3

It may be the case that you already knew that, but no harm mentioning it, in case it helps somebody else as well, right? :3

[jaunty hare]

As cptbuk said, you're able to break Ancient Ruins items with the pickaxe, you'll just need enough mining damage for that.
As for the pottery (also the crates that you find laying around and flower vessels that you can find in Azeos and in the Desert), you can dig them with a shovel and put them on the ground again wherever you'd prefer ^^

[craggy lake]

Shame we can't dig up the bigger versions of breakable stuff

[toxic zodiac]

maybe when we finally get a big shovel xD

[jaunty hare]

Oooh I wish T_T

[lucid tide]

Omg thank you so much!

[lucid tide]

Oh thank you! Wait but i don’t want to break the ruin objects, i want to move them. I can still use a pickaxe to do so?

[toxic zodiac]

yepp for the big ones

some objects like small messed up walls can't be carried anywhere just destroyed

[lucid tide]

Oohh i see. Thank you so much!! Ive been seeing them in people’s bases but i just destroy them lol. Thanks again!

[toxic zodiac]

So I'm working on this throne room thing and using a combination of stone, hoed stone, mold and snow ground to get the floor situation a little more interesting, they fit well together. I think snow ground under pillar is pretty good.

[jaunty hare]

I've never realized the giant cicadas were facing different directions until I've seen your image 😅

[toxic zodiac]

Yeah they ain't talking to each other anymore since the last royal feast :(

[jaunty hare]

I love this lol

[lucid tide]

can i ask what your mining level is? so i know what level to get to xD @toxic zodiac

[toxic zodiac]

uh I don't know but you don't need much if you have a good pickaxe. I was probably at 60 or something when I looted the moldy bug. The other one goes even easier.

[lucid tide]

oh really? i have the ancient pickaxe would that work? i havent tried it on the bugs yet but i tried on the ammonite and couldnt get that so i was thinking my mining damage wasnt enough

[toxic zodiac]

nooo you can't pick up most of the set pieces

if you can but you are not high enough it will actually display a text telling you you need more mining damage

you can't accidentally miss one you could theoretically pick up

[lucid tide]

ooohh i see thank you so much!!

[crisp kraken]

working on my potion room ^^

[jaunty hare]

Ooooh I like it!

[lime steeple]

This is incredibly clever.

[jaunty hare]

Oh thank you! ❤️

[lime steeple]

Do you just have to wall in that area to keep the fireflies from escaping?

[lime steeple]

I really love this and oooh I guess I'm missing those chests - are they from the desert maze vault scene?

[lime steeple]

Do you have any other optical illusion ideas? ❤️
A looong time ago, I saw that someone made a bridge with broken stone pillars (or something else?) which made it looks as though the bridge actually raised up.

[jaunty hare]

You mean like this?

This is a little bridge I've created based on somebody else's creation as well

[lime steeple]

Exactly! I couldn't find the original creation. Thank you! c:

[jaunty hare]

I think I've saved the image, but Idk who sent it here... So I won't be able to give the correct credit

Lemme see if I can find it

Found it! I wish I knew who was the creator of this, though.

[final pebble]

Yeah, you just have to wall them in.

[final pebble]

And if by vault you mean the temple where you get the godarmor once you get the keys to opening them from the mazes then yes!

[lime steeple]

Ah okay I'll make a giant external wall then, so it won't intrude on the view within - they can't go through closed doors, right?

I'm curious what other folks like to put in water reflections. I love Cherry Blossom trees, glow tulips, the urns, the statues, and the crystal lamps

[jaunty hare]

The archways from cities are also really pretty in reflections!

[final pebble]

Right!

[cyan bronze]

Not the molten metal!

[dry vessel]

was mine. I adjusted a little bit to use the refection as a bridge support column

[jaunty hare]

I'm so glad you reached out! This is really beautiful!! 💖

[lime steeple]

Thank you so much for resharing! I will definitely be mimicking this one c:

[dry vessel]

😄 im sharing just so other people can improve the design 😄 please share your creation as well

[jaunty hare]

This is why I love this community 🥹

[dry vessel]

just quickly build this incubator room. pls share your building 😄 I need some inspiration

and here is my Inn/Cafe/Restaurant building 😄

[toxic zodiac]

my god that's awesome you're an ace builder

[craggy lake]

Glass fences over black glass floor with water underneath looks so cool. I want to do something with this now.

[jaunty hare]

OMG THIS IS SO PRETTY! I love it how you've use the white pedestals to create a zoned area with greenery. That looks PERFECT!

[craggy lake]

And the black walls are much less washed out. So good.

[jaunty hare]

I KNEW IT!

I was so sure they've changed the colors, nobody agreed T_T Yes!

[toxic zodiac]

what I totally agreed

[jaunty hare]

Oh did you? I'm sorry, in that case I might not have seen your message or may just be misremembering. My mind is total chaos right now ;-;

[toxic zodiac]

haha yeah I gotta force myself to turn the game off now and do something useful with my day xD Good uptate.

[jaunty hare]

Perfect update! I'm crying

[final pebble]

This is such a small detail but I love how the lit flooring looks beneath the woven mats! The glowing pixels remind me of led lights!

[jaunty hare]

I never thought of it that way... I used to dislike them so much

But now you've made me realize we might have a gem here 🤔

[final pebble]

ikr? it was cool enough when I realized the woven mats looked good on turf and give off this crop circle vibe, but this small detail I discovered recently added an extra bit of decoration potential!

[jaunty hare]

There's also the difference between tiled and untiled ground when placing woven mats and rugs on top of it

[final pebble]

Yeah, there's just enough space for the light to peek through, hence this cool effect

[jaunty hare]

These are images someone else (again, I don't remember who T-T) posted in the old ck-media channel and I've saved for reference. There's a huge difference there and it's pretty great!

[final pebble]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the painted green rugs for my current world at least. They'd be great for a moss themed base though!

[jaunty hare]

I like them for some specific things, one of my favorite rugs to be honest xD

[final pebble]

Ooo that reminds me, we still need to try out the new colored paint brushes on things like that!

[jaunty hare]

Yep!!! I wanna make a bigger image of the one I've sent here when I created the channel... But honestly? Too much on my plate right now

Might be like that for a few days 😅

[final pebble]

Ditto XD

[craggy lake]

There's just so much to chew through. Shame Bambucks produce wool so slowly. I want cushions.

*and would rather not cheat them in with this convenient JSON editor

[final pebble]

Yeah, its going to take us awhile to get used to the new stuff. But I'm already enjoying rotatable chests!

[jaunty hare]

Yeah me too!

Although I'm more answering people here than building/really playing the game 😅

[craggy lake]

I had to close the game because it's gotten too hot irl. Just means there's time to plot.

I did notice while building my Meadow storage that it has roughly the same color palette as the desert temple floors

[final pebble]

Same, been commenting here for hours XD

[jaunty hare]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES and I can't wait to play with that! :3

[final pebble]

Oh yes, I do like the meadow wall and flooring you can make. It looks really nice.

[jaunty hare]

There's a video that came out with the update on CK's channel that kinda displays that:

Look at that!

[final pebble]

I definitely want more of those potted plants for my base

[jaunty hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mtazGweGDQ
In case you guys wanna watch it

[craggy lake]

Oh yeah that was part of the preview!

[jaunty hare]

YEEES! Me too!

[sharp brook]

that looks really good! They seem to have a very good build team :)

[jaunty hare]

RIIIIGHT? Did you see everything they did? It looks so awesome!!

Like, look at THIS!

Seems so natural and peaceful 😍
Love that we can do all that in creative, look at the boulders

[final pebble]

Wow, that IS really cool! I really want to try out creative mode eventually too

[jaunty hare]

Also, the loose flooring on the lava part! Orange and red look so similar though... I wish we had something new for red

[sharp brook]

love the toilet

[final pebble]

It could also be the lighting, its very orange red anyway so that probably only makes it all blend in even more! XD

[jaunty hare]

OOOH THE TOILET! LOL

[jaunty hare]

Might be the case, but they're mostly the same color really xD

[final pebble]

You know what else the toilets remind me of? Medieval Stocks! XD

[craggy lake]

It's hooked directly to an incinerator and everything

[jaunty hare]

...omg you're too creative, I love it lol xD

[sharp brook]

true! Hole goes directly into the lava. Will be one toasty bottom though

[final pebble]

bows Thank you, thank you. XD

[solid ocean]

the glass makes for great "walkable water"

you can make petals look like theyre floating in water

[toxic zodiac]

whimsical. Did you know you can pick up the lake pedals now? with the shovel

[pliant mortar]

You can also get the kelp that's in the Azeos's Wilderness water too!

[jaunty hare]

By the waaay, did you guys see we can now pick up a lot of the water and abyss decorations?

[jaunty hare]

Also with a hoe in some instances!

[pliant mortar]

Abyss decorations?

[jaunty hare]

Yeah! Like the stalagmites xD

[pliant mortar]

Omg that's actually cool

[jaunty hare]

I knooow right?!?!

I haven't checked if we can use every deco with every liquid. Or if we can use water deco in the abyss.

I wouldn't think so, but still haven't tried.

[solid ocean]

Ill try it hang on

[pliant mortar]

Ahhh okay, so you can pick up and essentially relocate the stalagmites to other parts of the abyss. Maybe create like a secret shape in the water sort of thing

[solid ocean]

stalagmites can be used in liquid. barely visible though

at least in the sea water

[pliant mortar]

Yeah, so if you want, you can create a secret sort of image in the water

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, those can be used in normal water as well. But the other way around is something I haven't tried yet

They're more visible in normal water though xD

[solid ocean]

I'll test that as well lol

[toxic zodiac]

put some jellyfish in lava while you're at it xD

[jaunty hare]

I like where your minds goes xD

[jaunty hare]

OOOOOOOH I wanna try, I wanna try!

[pliant mortar]

You can get jellofish in this game?

[toxic zodiac]

yeah since the patch you can get all the water and abyss thingies

[pliant mortar]

Noice

[toxic zodiac]

I tried to make a jellyfish aquarium in creative but without sunbeams it's really hard to make it noticable tho

[pliant mortar]

Is the only way to efficiently create sunbeams still with Azeos's ability?

[jaunty hare]

At this time, unfortunately yes.

[toxic zodiac]

yeah in creative you can't at all because creative mode characters dont have soul power

[pliant mortar]

rip

[solid ocean]

if they added a cave in command to creative it would be a start

[pliant mortar]

All I want is for my Ghorm to be roommate in this game 😔

[solid ocean]

I want to take ghorm on walkies

[pliant mortar]

I want a mini-ghorm for a pet tbh

[solid ocean]

no lava jellyfish sadly

lol

[pliant mortar]

-10/10, can't sacrifice jellyfish to the lava god

[toxic zodiac]

sads but I have a feature request to write xD

[pliant mortar]

It'd be nice if we could have songs from LoZ in the game. Like the fairy fountain song for example

[solid ocean]

papa nintendo would come for our shins

[toxic zodiac]

Ma'am this is the base building thread! :D

[solid ocean]

also that

[pliant mortar]

Forgive me, I have shinned

[solid ocean]

no kelp in abyss either.

[jaunty hare]

So we can't place those in abyss. I figured, but still worth a try xD

[peak fern]

Here you should be able to find all currently paintable objects as of the Paws and Claws update

https://discord.com/channels/851842678340845600/1106115665779232812

[hallow fox]

fun little trick, blue glass makes lava looks like floating swaying rocks. if you want a more magical look. different colors makes the lava look REALLY wild too. cyan gives a brighter greenish color as well!

[jaunty hare]

Really nice!!!

[jaunty hare]

I didn't even think of that! This is so nice! I love it!

[hallow fox]

Yeah! It can go with some of the cool maze temple walls and floor, to make a really magical ancient looking base!

[jaunty hare]

I'm gonna have to hop into creative mode and test some things 🤣

[hallow fox]

now if only we could dye the portals D:

[jaunty hare]

That's something that's been requested quite a few times now. Maybe one day ❤️ Let's hope!

[jaunty hare]

Alright! So now we have an updated version of my color thing xD

The only bad thing about glass is that it's not easily understood in screenshots xD
Those are:
Glass Floor
Glass Wall
Glass Bridge + Thin Glass Wall

To make things easier to understand in case anyone needs it xD

[craggy lake]

Glass bridges are so hard to show off. Running water under them makes the different colors pop a little more, but then it's a matter of which one? Mold Water seems the most neutral.

...also I'm really happy that I can finally move this collection of puddles somewhere else, it's in a really awkward spot for how I want to add on to my warehouse world

[finite ember]

RED WATER

I NEED THE RED WATER

[jaunty hare]

That is indeed a nice idea xD

[jaunty hare]

Now...

Do you guys think there's any other way of making this image better? 🤣

Colors are the same as in my last image. Last tile to the right >>> doesn't have a glass bridge so we can know the normal color there

[finite ember]

could you add more light? it’s hard to see the colors in the middle

also what order is it in?

[craggy lake]

I'd say tackle both of those in one, line the border in the middle with white floor lights, and top them with paintable floor tiles in the corresponding color.

[finite ember]

maybe a paint brush of each color across would be helpful

[craggy lake]

also I'm impressed, I didn't think you'd go for showing all of them

[toxic zodiac]

So I have this project

and I'm not absolutely sure if it's worth it

🤣

[jaunty hare]

OH MY GOD YES

RAINBOW ROOOOOOOOOOAD

[toxic zodiac]

painting takes forever hto

[jaunty hare]

I thought the same, but it's actually hard to see ;-;

[toxic zodiac]

because you cant move and brush like with placement ^^

[jaunty hare]

OOOH I didn't think of this! Of course, perfect idea as well

[jaunty hare]

Ooooh I think this miiight be better! I'll try this out to see if I can make it work :3

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, I have to agree. Takes a loooong time 😰

[toxic zodiac]

oh turns out, if you disable godmode you can move with the paint brush

nice

this just got 30% faster :D

[jaunty hare]

Ooooh now I get what you meant. Sorry my brain lagged for a bit there and I didn't realize you were talking about the godmode way of putting things/paint down 🤣

[toxic zodiac]

fair I didnt even know there was a difference

[jaunty hare]

I mean, everything is so new that we're now discovering a lot xD
We'll get to the point of knowing how to help others really fast because of our trials and errors 😂

[toxic zodiac]

ok I colored in the top lane I already need a break from this lol. But it's gonna be awesome it already drives like a lot of fun. Maybe I can get a bunch of you to shoot a video when it's done.

[jaunty hare]

Oooh that would be so fun!

[jaunty hare]

I think this is now better... right?

OOOH THERES AN UNPAINTED TILE

Okay, sooo... what do you guys think? Any way to improve?

[peak fern]

You could add Sky Light (from Azeos beams and cave ins)

[jaunty hare]

I don't think that's possible in creative mode yet ;-;

[craggy lake]

It's not, and it also tends to wash out the colors if you use too much of them

[peak fern]

Ahhhh your using creative

Ya it's not :/

For all the references I've made they're all survival still lol

[jaunty hare]

I mean, I'll be using standard for most of the things I'd like to do. But since we have creative now, I think it's def easier to create these things to help people out xD

I won't use these for anything else other than color display, so I preferred Creative this time

But yeah, I also think breaking the ceiling could really wash out some colors there

[finite ember]

this helps sooooo much more

love it

[acoustic depot]

thoughts on this bridge? i had already filled underneath the bridge with sunken water. thinking about swapping the bridge out with glass panels

right now its city tile - bridge - city tile

i could even do city tile - glass bridge - glass bridge w/track - glass bridge - city tile

go full spirited away

[jaunty hare]

I think it's really pretty the way it is 🤔

[hallow fox]

It'd be kinda cool if we could get some sort of pavement so I could build roads / cities

[finite ember]

painted tiles or even grey rugs would probably work!

[sharp brook]

Doesn't normal stone ground look kinda like a light concrete? Older roads were concrete, so that would kinda fit

[hallow fox]

Pure black glass may work as well..

Although it's a bit shiny

[sharp brook]

I think it'd look cool though, especially bridges over sunken sea water, so you get a small glow as well

[jaunty hare]

We do have Dark Stone Grounds now as well 😄

Sadly we don't have the Wall counterpart

[hallow fox]

I'll have to experiment with a few of these options, thanks! Maybe I should make creative world just to test

[jaunty hare]

Definitely!

CM helps a lot with testing

[craggy lake]

If creative or end-game in general is on the table, give Lava Rock Ground a shot. It's very asphalt-y.

[finite ember]

what HUH

[craggy lake]

Ye! Those dark floor patches in the stone biome villages are diggable floors now. Sadly only in newly generated areas, but still.

[hallow fox]

Main game has the base, very end game. But making a creative just for testing may make things faster

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, I was so sad when I went on my base and couldn't break those guys T_T

[toxic zodiac]

ohh this instead of obsidian in the caveling areas?

[jaunty hare]

Yep! Now we're able to break that ground and use it as well xD

[toxic zodiac]

NICE didn't get the cave in rocks but at least I could add some more spunk to the roly poly enclosure

[final pebble]

I'd replace the desert sand since that spawns bomb scarabs

[toxic zodiac]

I'll take my chances :D

[final pebble]

Best of luck then!

[toxic zodiac]

actually only happens in the desert biome :D

[final pebble]

Really? They must have fixed it then since I once had some spawn in my base and I had to hurry to take them out before they damaged my setup O-O

[toxic zodiac]

yeah maybe a bug or it was a few patches ago

[final pebble]

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense!

[jaunty hare]

Yep, Scarabs should only spawn in the Desert xD

[final pebble]

Guess I just had a "bug problem" in more ways than one then lolz

[jaunty hare]

🤣
Should be the same for tentacles, btw

[final pebble]

Thankfully I haven't had any of those spawn at my base.

I think they need sea water and beach sand to spawn and even then don't spawn anywhere else. Not about to test that theory though since they're troublesome as it is where they are XD

[jaunty hare]

I mean, they do spawn in the middle of the sea, but I think there are 2 "types" of tentacles there. Shore ones, which spawn a lot more, and sea ones, which spawn less

[final pebble]

True, and there's always omoroth's when he comes to smack us around at random lolz

[jaunty hare]

Those scare me every time xD

[final pebble]

Right?

[craggy lake]

I think glass floor tiles just went from something I wrote off as niche to my biggest use of glass

I can make the city floor shiny

[finite ember]

oooo

[sharp brook]

careful, slippery

[jaunty hare]

OMG. YOU DIDN'T.

I LOVE THIS

I'M GONNA DIE

[craggy lake]

And it tints really nicely in blue and yellow

[sharp brook]

blue really gives me some techy vibes

[finite ember]

wait now people with snowy bases can make ice rinks

[craggy lake]

Ye!

[jaunty hare]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BKLYN

[final pebble]

OOOOO

[sharp brook]

BLOODY SNOW :O

[jaunty hare]

N,VMNFDBNGBD YOU GUYS.

[finite ember]

👀👀👀

[jaunty hare]

NO ò.ó

[sharp brook]

yes :)

[final pebble]

Omg we are seriously going to need an ice biome now.

[craggy lake]

I wasn't sure I was going to use these because they're on the same layer as paintable tiles, buuuuut

[craggy lake]

We have everything we need to make one now

[finite ember]

i mean there’s already snow walls and ground

[final pebble]

Yeah I know we can get snow from the Christmas event but dang, I want to go ice skating underground and fight yeti's

[jaunty hare]

Ice collab? 😈

I wanna test this, I can't wait anymore.

[final pebble]

Wait, what would make a better underground ice mob?

snow moles?

[finite ember]

slime-like snowball mobs

[craggy lake]

And this is why I love this thread

[finite ember]

like literally the slimes we have but made of snow

[final pebble]

omg yeah yeah! they could attack with ice spikes!

the spikey slimes but made of ice

[jaunty hare]

Looks pretty, lemme try colored :3

[final pebble]

I recolored a red slime to try and imagine an ice version. XD

[jaunty hare]

GUYS LOOK AT THE COLORS

Look at purple, pink and red! THEY LOOK PERFECT! Don't even look like the same colors!

[craggy lake]

Orange is just shiny sand

[finite ember]

is that on snow?

[sharp brook]

BLOODY SNOW :O

[finite ember]

yellow snow

[sharp brook]

and with the shinyness it also looks like the snow is nice and frozen as well, so careful or you'll fall! :D

[jaunty hare]

YES!

[final pebble]

We have unlocked great potential here

The black glass on the snow literally looks like black marble flooring.

[jaunty hare]

Oooh you're right!

Guys, this is the best channel ever ❤️

[final pebble]

The red snow idea is cool too, especially for halloween themed bases

[jaunty hare]

Don't know which one is better though. What do you guys think?

[final pebble]

Blue since it looks like a glacier

[craggy lake]

Ye! Blue, because it really messed with my head and I wondered why one picture was using different water than the rest.

[sharp brook]

I kinda also like the second one though. And maybe the last if we're talking about winter in a forest / swamp

[final pebble]

That's true!

[finite ember]

what about on mold water, what does it look like then

[jaunty hare]

Mold water already looks perfect for icy scenes

[jaunty hare]

So... that is mold water xD

[finite ember]

oh fr? lol

what about other waters? i wanna see like side by sides lol

[final pebble]

lolz, lets put lava in the snow too for irony

it'd melt instantly irl LMAO

[finite ember]

wait i’m kinda stupid we’ve done this whole glass on water thing before

[jaunty hare]

I'm testing something else now, I could test that later as well :3

[jaunty hare]

I mean, we didn't test it in a snowy scene to try and see what fits best though

[craggy lake]

This all has me wanting a semi-secret base entrance where the path is a maze of glass floors across a lake

it also seems like a great way to make decorations float on the water

[finite ember]

boutta make a whole glass maze

[sharp brook]

I actually think it looks kinda cool with the blue lava

[craggy lake]

Heck yeah. I have a whole map that I still need to fill with devious traps and puzzles

[finite ember]

i like the purple lava the most

makes it look like lava girl’s costume

[craggy lake]

We got lava lamps this patch.

It's just that they're the floor

[jaunty hare]

Try it with green and find TOXIC WASTE

[sharp brook]

kinda has a candy vibe

[finite ember]

I LOVE TJAT LAVA SO MUCH

my fav

[jaunty hare]

Candy map! I would love that!

[final pebble]

omg yeah, I so want to make a glass maze

[finite ember]

charlie and the chocolate factory

[final pebble]

whoa, that is pretty cool!

[sharp brook]

definitely toxic fallout vibes

[craggy lake]

Oh my gosh yes. Oh! We could make the most evil map with fake hallways that are just filled with glass, and with guest mode they're unbreakable.

I would like to restate that I do not condone griefing, and that these bits of evil are being plotted under the assumption that the person being subjected to it knows that it's a puzzle/maze/dungeon.

[final pebble]

Wow, I am SO going to use this now since I love how that looks!

[craggy lake]

Greeeeeeen

[final pebble]

I bet that would look great with the green fireflies too!

[jaunty hare]

I'm gonna use that was as well!!!!

Maybe I'll update my cemetery area to include this

[sharp brook]

GOOD IDEA! one sec

[jaunty hare]

MOLD GROUND??

Or maybe even Maze Floor

[sharp brook]

Hmm.. Seems like the lava glow is kinda too strong for the glowbugs

[final pebble]

That's a shame.

[finite ember]

maybe a darker floor would help?

[final pebble]

Oh! The black glass on top of the snow ground might do the trick

[jaunty hare]

I'm thinking mold because of the fx, but maze floors could work as well

Even the dark stone ones

[sharp brook]

looks actually really freaking cool

[final pebble]

Whoa, the mold ground looks sick (in a good way)

[sharp brook]

kinda dislike the sharp edges and I think black is kinda too dark. removes the whole snowy look

but I think a mix with gray and non colored looks kinda cool + maybe a few black colored here and there

[sharp brook]

the dark stone floor is really amazing. it totally captures the green from the glowbugs in those lines

[jaunty hare]

I was thinking of a toxic environment really, so taking out the ice would be possible as well in that scenario

[sharp brook]

I think a bit of white for ashes might be nice though

But yeah, some more normal stone and maybe even dirt might be nice

Windows 11 decided to die on me though, so have to restart and probably redo everything 😅

[jaunty hare]

...Now I wanna make a toxic waste room in my base.

And I'm gonna do just that.

But first, I'll do some testing :3

[jaunty hare]

I'm in love with this

[craggy lake]

It looks noxious. I love it.

[sharp brook]

the mold stuff really sells the "get the f away from here" feeling :D

and I kinda tried to have it "spread" like vines or an infestation away from the radioactive sludge

[jaunty hare]

I haven't checked if we can pick these larva things on the ground

Like, in a standard mode world

[sharp brook]

that thing?

[jaunty hare]

Oooh, actually I was talking about the little bones and such

I'm wondering because I haven't tried, but we can get water and abyss stuff sooo...

[lucid tide]

i've seen you guys talking about the exploding larva bugs not spawning unless they are in the biome.. does that work with other mobs? i had initially tried to put city moss in my base on hoed ground but they still spawned..

[finite ember]

you can’t, i’ve tried

[finite ember]

moss will spawn mobs

[jaunty hare]

These are different things actually. Let me try to explain:

• All moss grounds will always spawn mobs, regardless of the biome they're in.
• Some grounds have the property of spawning mobs as well. But this is gonna depend on the one you're talking about.
  -- Mold ground will definitely spawn things in your base.
  -- Beach Sand and Desert Sand won't spawn anything unless it's in the biome itself.
• Acid Larva is different. It will spawn in the world when the world is being formed, and it can't respawn with any tile in the game currently.

But this is actually the Base Building channel, so we should avoid talking about things that doesn't have much to do with that xD We do have the #🎮-game-discussion channel itself for that

[sharp brook]

I actually don't know what bones you mean 🤔 I have those little bone things on the ground, but if there are others, I can't find them in the creative menu
Edit: I really should've read one more message xD

[lucid tide]

@jaunty hare sorry! i just saw you guys talking about it so i thought i'd ask. i thought i saw a picture saying hoed ground wont spawn mobs so i wanted to ask

but yes i can ask in game discussion, thank you!

[jaunty hare]

These things xD

[jaunty hare]

Awww, that's a shame! I wanted bones in my haunted cemetery ;-;
But thank you dear!

[jaunty hare]

It's alright, sometimes it gets confusing! Don't worry about it too much ❤️

[sharp brook]

reading comprehension is on point today :)

Really wanna extend that scene a bit though. Really looks like that nuclear fallout environment has a lot of potential

[jaunty hare]

It indeed does!

[craggy lake]

Off-topic, but I'm happy with how my incubation station turned out

[jaunty hare]

Not off-topic at all and I LOVE IIIIT

The orange pillars with a blue wash look SO GREAT

I also need to create my incubation room, so you've definitely given me ideas ❤️

[final pebble]

Wow, I missed a lot but this looks amazing!

[jaunty hare]

According to @sharp brook this looks like a slot machine and I love it xD

[sharp brook]

now we know what the devs want us to do with all those ancient coins

[jaunty hare]

It's a cash register!

[sharp brook]

true. Money goes in and never comes out xD

[jaunty hare]

You play a little tune for it to open :3

I also made a sink in my base with the new things. But I'll have to show you that later xD

Okay, I went there just to take a screenshot. This is part of my current kitchen xD

[sharp brook]

Here we have a birdbath and a unlit stone lantern thingamajig :)

[sharp brook]

that sink is absolutely amazing 😻

[jaunty hare]

I'M IN LOOOOVE

This game is too much ❤️

[toxic zodiac]

if you try some of the paints on the water basin you already get a finished birdbath with at least 2 colors, too

[sharp brook]

i always forget about the paints :D Still not anywhere close to being a decent builder, so thanks for the info :D

[smoky vigil]

This is just the outline...but I really wanted flowers, so Im making my museum out of flowers

[toxic zodiac]

hello FBI?

the rose is looking pretty dope did you just do that from scratch?

[jaunty hare]

Those look so pretty!!! OMG!

I'm gonna spam you guys a little bit 😄

All done! ❤️
Sorry about this, just thought it would be easier to find the ones we want to check in case we do xD

So... This is how painted glass looks in all types of floor

I just didn't do glass floor because... yeah, apparently the colors won't mix xD

[sharp brook]

Well done :) It'll definitely help :D
But now we have to get Julian to make a "matte" glass as well >:) Just color, no streaks >:D

[jaunty hare]

I'm probably trying to kill myself with these.

Enough playing around in creative for a day xD

I shooould have added the pedestals colors on the side as well... dumb dumb

[sharp brook]

it's okay :D We can still see the colors :)

[jaunty hare]

Just in case though xD

[smoky vigil]

By scratch do you mean Googling "Pixel Art Flowers"...than yes

[jaunty hare]

Just because I'm extra

[finite ember]

i originally wanted to make my recipe room have larva ground for the floor bc it looks like baked beans

[jaunty hare]

Now if you use glass floor and paint those green :3

[finite ember]

green baked beans ?

lmfao

[smoky vigil]

Vomit....

[jaunty hare]

Look at it!

Green beans!

[smoky vigil]

I mean, that does look cooler than my head thought it was haha

[finite ember]

wait wait wait

does glass floors get rid of the mold effect

[jaunty hare]

It doesn't ;-;

Unfortunately

[smoky vigil]

Oh thats sad....does it stop the spawning is the bigger question

[toxic zodiac]

I think the bar is complete!

[jaunty hare]

hawaii vibes

[toxic zodiac]

hawaiibes

some NPC housing, compact edition

[jaunty hare]

Ooooh I like this!

So pretty!

[lucid tide]

@jaunty hare which floor is this one?

[sharp brook]

Looks like Lava Rock Ground

[lucid tide]

@sharp brook oh thank you!

[crisp kraken]

a smol part of my base :3

[jaunty hare]

Correct, sir xD

[jaunty hare]

Oooh nice!

[crisp kraken]

some kind of labour

[tawdry basalt]

Thanks to @sharp brook for suggesting me this thread, somehow I didn't come across it before but you guys rock it. What a creative use of items. I really hope to sit down some day and make my own builds, I have so many ideas. For example, did you realize that you can use the feeding trays as a fruit/vegetable display for a supermarket? 😄

[toxic zodiac]

Julian just crafting a mall xD

[jaunty hare]

OMG JULIAN IS HEREEEE!
Officially the best thread ever xD

Now I really wanna create a mall... There are so many nice things we can create with the new additions! I'm so hyped

[jaunty hare]

Please share them with us if you ever create something like that! Or your own creative ideas about the very beautiful items you give us xD
I'd love to see them all!
I also invite you to check the images in this thread, people here are incredibly creative! Sometimes we'll make some cursed things, yes, but it's awesome to see! 💖🤣

[toxic zodiac]

I made a lab, too!

[smoky vigil]

Is there a way to just look at the images? Or I have to just scroll up and admire?

[jaunty hare]

@smoky vigil you can definitely search in the search bar! I don't use Discord in English, but I believe the command would be "has: image". Try it out, it really helps! 😄

[smoky vigil]

Oh! Thanks! I typed image in the search bar but it didnt work hahaha Ill try the has: image and see if it works. You are so wonderful

[jaunty hare]

No, you!

[sharp brook]

if you're on pc, feel free to press "ctrl + f" and it'll automatically focus the search bar and add "**in:**whateverchannel". That way it's also filtered by this thread only :)

[toxic zodiac]

unfortuantely doesn't work for threads :/

maybe we need a channel xD

[sharp brook]

ohhh, what the hell ._.

[hallow fox]

Yup, this is the hidden best channel

Only the choosen make it here.

[toxic zodiac]

yeah there is quite a few tips&tricks early on but it becomes unpractical to scroll that far up slowly (we should probably talk about that somewhere else because it makes the problem worse :D)

[hallow fox]

As base building is one of the core elements to this game, it should probably be its own dedicated channel.

[toxic zodiac]

wait, pinned message and "jump" takes you to the top, nice!

[hallow fox]

Can onky have like 100 pins though

Those will run out super faster

[toxic zodiac]

one is enough and then scroll through everything xD

[smoky vigil]

oooo smart thinking

[jaunty hare]

Yes! Good thinking actually. I did that on purpose but completely forgot to mention it 😅

[jaunty hare]

I mean, we probably won't need to use that many. Generally we have like 5 pins per channel (not a rule, but that's the average), so I think we're all good :3

And it's okay to talk about this here, otherwise we'd spam other channels xD
There's no real way around it, for now. But we're (me and @sharp brook ) planning something that I think you guys will very much enjoy :3

[smoky vigil]

What ground is this?....the desert?

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, Desert Sand!

[jaunty hare]

Also, did you guys see the new different sprites we have for the Cherry Trees?

Now we have a new different variation for each of those, depending on where we put the trees! SO BEAUTIFUL

[smoky vigil]

Someone needs to take away Google...I keep adding more flowers without finishing my current flower buildings 🤯

[left shoal]

Make him a breathing light bar

[sharp brook]

i hereby revoke your license to google. You may pick it up in a few days at the principals office >:)

Jokes aside, they look amazing :)

[smoky vigil]

Haha thanks! No more Google till Monday. Also, thank you...it's making me so happy to build

[smoky vigil]

That is SO COOL!!!

[jaunty hare]

They do indeed look incredible!

[jaunty hare]

Thank you Him! You're the best!

[sharp brook]

tried to expand a bit on that nuclear lava kinda thing. it now "spreads" from the rotten corpse and converts everything it touches into death :O
and there seems to be something growing where a lot of the mold is gathering 🤔

Reupload cause I forgot some bones >:)

[toxic zodiac]

awesome very toxic

[jaunty hare]

I LOVE IIIIIT

OMG, HIM!!!!!

[dry vessel]

Small sample of using empty holes to create raised floor illusion

[toxic zodiac]

lab improvements, turns out you can use a galaxite wall and a pedestal to make something at least a bit like a computer xD

[left shoal]

you can add some blinking light bulbs

[toxic zodiac]

@left shoal

they are ;:D

[left shoal]

Those who are interested can come to my laboratory to see
maybe it will give you some inspiration

[toxic zodiac]

no I mean, klick the msg link xD

[left shoal]

Flashing can be slower, there will be atmosphere

[toxic zodiac]

nooooo, its energy flicker because the incbators take so much power :D

[left shoal]

good idea too

[left shoal]

I built a whole lab just to make the hatching grounds😂

[toxic zodiac]

yeah same

[craggy lake]

I'm starting to think sticking a testing hall next to my storage isn't the best idea. But! I want to see if those tiles still spawn cavelings under glass tiles. If they don't, then we have more decoration to safely play with.

[toxic zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/window-pig-face-squishy-glass-gif-9577322

cavelings be like ^

[craggy lake]

So either I have a statistical anomaly, or Glass Floor tiles really do block moss from spawning. I'm going to assume the latter and start using them in decorating.

[jaunty hare]

Did you guys see we can rotate these ones now as well?

[final pebble]

I extended and redid my workshop/forge since I noticed that more bugs spawn now on ground left uncovered. This was lava ground and it has copper wiring and glass flooring layered on top.

[jaunty hare]

THIS IS SO PRETTY OMG

[final pebble]

Thanks! It turned out a lot better than expected!

[finite ember]

oooo that floor is so cool

[final pebble]

Thanks! The copper wiring blends surprisingly well when the glass flooring is painted black.

[finite ember]

it’s almost like an illusion and looks like cool shaped tiles

[final pebble]

Right!? I thought so too!

It's almost like the glow of the lava making those shapes instead of electronics

[finite ember]

i wish glass went above rugs

[craggy lake]

same, but that they don't has been a motivator for me to find other uses for them

[jaunty hare]

I can only think of a use for glass on top of rugs if we're talking about cyan rugs xD

[finite ember]

but then we can change the color but keep patterns

like imagine using white rugs for that pattern and then you can have it in any color

[jaunty hare]

I mean, true, you have a pretty valid point 🤔

It would also be kinda sad though, because the glass-like appearance would probably overshadow the comfy rug appearances

[sharp brook]

That's why we need matte glass! No real reflections, just a "color overlay"

[finite ember]

i don’t see a reason glass would go under rugs

[hallow fox]

This is super cool

[jaunty hare]

I mean, it's technically supposed to be a tile, I think. Just like wooden floors, stone floors, paintable floors and so on

I actually think the opposite! I've never seen a glass on top of a rug 😂

[left shoal]

@jaunty hare By the way, he can interact

[jaunty hare]

Wait... you can interact with those things from ABOVE the glass?

[left shoal]

YES~

[jaunty hare]

I think that might be a bug lol 🤔 😂

[left shoal]

at least mistakes add to my fun

[jaunty hare]

This is perfect in my book!

[finite ember]

wait wait wai

i didn’t know you could change the wire line angles

[jaunty hare]

WAIT WHAT

[finite ember]

this

[finite ember]

wait so

Check it out! Those are the same cross circuit tiles xD

[finite ember]

ok so i’ve literally not touched any circuitry in this game bc it’s way too confusing

but could you make neon signs with those angled ones?

[jaunty hare]

I mean, now we're gonna touch it... but for decorating reasons cuz we're all weird in an awesome way

MUAHAHAHAHAH

https://tenor.com/view/burning-hell-muahaha-evil-laugh-gif-10739654

[finite ember]

didn’t know those things existed or what they did till now

[jaunty hare]

I mean, probably yeah. Could even make letters if you try hard enough lol

[left shoal]

angle?

[jaunty hare]

Yeah, the diagonals!

[finite ember]

how do the delayed circuits look lit up?

[finite ember]

hm

[left shoal]

I just use flash circuits to create the atmosphere in my lab

[finite ember]

ok imma have to play around and see if i can make some neon signs

[jaunty hare]

My understanding of circuitry is almost non-existent xD

[finite ember]

literally same

i’m just seeing pretty lights and need to find out how to make pretty lights

[jaunty hare]

I lack the basic understanding of what the Logic and the Delay circuits do

[craggy lake]

I know enough to build a row of lights that slowly light up and turn off in sequence, so that it looks like it's moving from one side to the other

[craggy lake]

And technically enough that I know how to make a button that turns on the lights as you're walking in and then back off as your walking out, but in practice my movement speed is so high that sometimes I just... miss the button.

[bronze gyro]

god, i wish i had an imagination

[lime steeple]

I had no idea there were diff colors of lava!

[finite ember]

painted glass bridges!

[lime steeple]

I also had no idea there was snow ground!

[lime steeple]

Ohhhhhh

[finite ember]

yep! snow ground and walls are from the winter event

[lime steeple]

I am trying to hold off on changing the season to any event that hasn't occured since I started playing, which was during last Valentine's

Having something to look forward to helps the depression c;
(Joking, tho I do have managed depression, I just don't want to have seen tried everything the game has yet :/)

[finite ember]

well, you’ll love the halloween and winter seasons

[lime steeple]

I love the city tiles with glass overlay! The blue & yellow looks sooo good with the shine!

[finite ember]

my personal favorite is halloween, partially bc it’s my favorite holiday period

[lime steeple]

So gorgeous! Must take a lot of patience 😮

[lime steeple]

I love Halloween. I also used to be a druid irl, and I still feel particularly spiritual then! 🎃 It marked the end of the harvest season, a time for a big push to get everything pickled, canned, salted, etc., for the winter ahead. Plus, transparency between other realms 👻

[lucid tide]

this is still a wip, and sorry for the UI i just took a screenshot because i wanted to show how cool this looks!!

[jaunty hare]

Aawn, this is SO CUTE

[left shoal]

try to make a greenhouse

[jaunty hare]

Him... you're too smart. These are beautiful!

[left shoal]

A simple greenhouse back garden

[jaunty hare]

Him, I love your creativity. This is super pretty and I love it!

[left shoal]

Thank you🥰

[left shoal]

Unfortunately, the number of butterflies is limited...

Originally planned to be a butterfly greenhouse

[jaunty hare]

That would have been pretty, but I already like how this looks! You're very creative!

[final pebble]

I want to do something like that but a small room for each type of butterfly 🦋

[left shoal]

The number of butterflies will be limited to around 30

[final pebble]

Good to know! Is there a limit on fireflies too? I use a lot of those for decoration.

[left shoal]

Insects seem to disappear after a while

[final pebble]

Hmm, I thought the flying ones just wandered off so I've been keeping them walled in

Seems to keep them around longer

[left shoal]

Think of jellyfish as will-o'-the-wisps

[final pebble]

that is a cool idea

[jaunty hare]

So creatiiive!

[sharp brook]

Just accept it and don't bring AIs into this! 😂

[finite ember]

tfw you have to use AI to come up with roasts

[sharp brook]

[magic spear]

Paintable flooring + painted lit flooring + covering with foliage/furniture = Great artifical surface light

it's an extra process but the outcome is great

[jaunty hare]

oOOOhhh
You really can't see it on the ground if you don't look closely! That is so nice!

[magic spear]

Yep! tried my best to camo it xD

[jaunty hare]

Never thought of trying that, that is awesome!

[magic spear]

Probably should paint it white to make feel more bright

(The light)

[jaunty hare]

Could be, this way it feels very natural though

[magic spear]

green a lil bit more obvious but it works but this is a white light example

[jaunty hare]

I like to use the Woven Mats for that instead :3

But oh this is so pretty!

[magic spear]

I was thinking thoes! But I couldn't remember if we could make em or not

[left shoal]

Glowing paths or glowing flowers are great for helping you create light

[jaunty hare]

We can't, sadly. But they're fairly easy to find xD

[magic spear]

You know what that is a better idea for green/dirt ground than just painted flooring

[smoky vigil]

Thanks to @left shoal little Farm Tutorial they showed me I made a Poison Slime Farm!

[raw oxide]

Debating on how I should approach the middle walkway for my crop farm, should i make all 3 lanes wood? love it all dirt/grass and maybe add some plants/decor ?

[craggy lake]

I have the biggest soft spot for using tilled turf with painted loose flooring over it for that kind of thing. Really loose flooring in general. It looks like mossy rocks when you paint it green.

plus there's not a lot else to use clay walls for now

[jaunty hare]

OOOH! I love these painted loose floorings with tilled Stone Ground. They also look amazing!
You could also test loose floorings painted grey instead of white. They look similar, but they're turned 90º xD

[craggy lake]

Ooh, I forgot about those

Ooo

[raw oxide]

how do you get loose floor ?

[craggy lake]

Tin workbench, on the far right side

it's one clay wall each

[raw oxide]

ahhhh ty.

dang, i got no clay wall

guess i haven't explored that much

what biome do i find tin in? so far i've just gotten lucky i guess

[craggy lake]

Also clay

[dry vessel]

just put a small torch behind the tree leaves

[magic spear]

A cheaper alternative that might work well

Worth the try

[smoky vigil]

Ya'll! I finally made a lab/egg hatchery...in the shape of Pusheen with a Doughnut! I even made my first blinky lights thanks to the Circuitry Section

[magic spear]

PUSHEEN

[left nest]

done with my trophy room (hoping there's enough pedastel for everything welp)

[jaunty hare]

Oh that looks nice!

[jaunty hare]

Hey everyone! I need some inspiration to create my lab/incubator area. What have you guys done in your bases for that?

I know a few of you have shared it here already, but I reeeally need inspiration here 😂

[craggy lake]

I'm not able to open my game at the moment, but I did realize at some point that you can use machine arms with incubators in the same way you can with smelters. Maybe some scarlet stuff if you take advantage of that?

[jaunty hare]

You're totally right, although I don't really know what I'll be using to make this work. I've tried making it look like a lab, making it kinda suit the Meadow aesthetic... Nothing seems to work in my mind

I wanted something to spark an idea in me, but still haven't found anything like that ;-;

I generally work with colors, but scarlet is something I always leave be since I think the reds are too powerful and overwhelming at times

[jaunty hare]

Can't decide which looks better. With or without glass?

[finite ember]

to me there’s barely a difference, so i’d say would it be beneficial to be able to walk across it, and if so keep the glass

[finite ember]

i haven’t really looked at it, but i’d put glass smelters next to the incubators with some glass in it so that it’s lit up. i think those colors match and make it look like machinery for the incubator

then maybe a glass room where newly hatched animals would be kept?

and to match that same metallic color i’d add some of the metal bridges

[jaunty hare]

That's what I was thinking as well. I might keep the glass

[jaunty hare]

That could TOTALLY be a vibe. Nice thought process you had there :3

My mind went directly to some workbenches that we have that are of similar color, but I haven't thought of glass smelters and metal grates. You're a genius :3

[finite ember]

maybe use the easter eggs in the lab room as well?

[jaunty hare]

That would be fantastic!
Also using all the eggs as decoration

Imagine being able to use Azeos spawner eggs in the Incubators xD

[finite ember]

lmfao

pet azeos

[left shoal]

inspiration?

You can archive pictures. and zoom in

[left shoal]

The swimming pool with flying insects is beautiful

[bronze gyro]

@left shoal could you please share some of your imagination with me, i have none

[left shoal]

What architectural inspiration do you need?

[smoky vigil]

First time trying to put photos together to make an entire scene. But I made a Shroomie Zoo!

[jaunty hare]

AWWW THIS IS SO CUTE!

[bronze gyro]

anything, i literally just build boxes 😛

[bronze gyro]

ive looked at those abit, i shall take a more in depth look

[final pebble]

I am loving how my meadow base is coming along ❤️

[finite ember]

wait what is the woven floor??

[jaunty hare]

OOOOH That looks so cute!

[jaunty hare]

For what I can see it's the Woven Straw Floor, that you can craft with Meadow Ground

[finite ember]

THATS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE???

i’ve only made meadow walls so far

but omg that might be my new favorite floor

[jaunty hare]

xD

It's so pretty!

I've used it a little bit in my base

Goes really well with yellow rugs as well :3

[final pebble]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the new meadow floor is made with a recolor of the green woven mats from the desert and sunken sea cities.

The orange paint options for lights and decorations look fantastic with the meadow stuff.

I forgot to share it earlier but I made butterfly enclosures! A shame I had to use the thicker walls since they kept escaping the thin version.

[jaunty hare]

Could have began like that, but it's really different honestly. It has the borders, but when you put too much of them together you can see some places in them are slightly torn

[finite ember]

yeah i got excited bc i thought we were able to paint the woven mats lol

[jaunty hare]

AWWW SO CUTE!

[finite ember]

oooo that would be such a beautiful plaza with a well in the center!!

[final pebble]

That makes sense, I did put too many in there originally before I downgraded to one butterfly per enclosure.

[final pebble]

omg I WISH we could do that too

[jaunty hare]

Me too!

[jaunty hare]

Oh I was talking about the matts 🤔

[final pebble]

Oops, my bad XD

I'm really loving the teal colors too, my new sunken sea base is looking amazing so far!

[jaunty hare]

Tropical paradise~

[final pebble]

Oh yeah! XD

[finite ember]

omg how’d u do the floor??

[final pebble]

Its the painted version of the carpet using the teal brush!

[finite ember]

ohhhh idk why i thought it was lava lol

[final pebble]

lolz it does kinda remind me of that too.

The rest of the floor is glass bridge painted blue.

I did a mix of teal and blue lighting under the carpets

[finite ember]

it makes it look like it’s underwater i love ittttt

[final pebble]

Right?! I'm so glad we have this option now. My first world just had a coral base but as much as I like pink, that was a bit overkill. XD

This base is kind of a mix of galaxite and glass bridges, city walls, and the teal painted decorations.

[smoky vigil]

I am really starting to hate using the Hoe to pick up stuff.... ...I keep accidently hitting my flooring while doing stuff. Ugh lol

[final pebble]

The shovel is easier to use in my experience.

[smoky vigil]

I usually do use my shovel but you cant hoe ground with a shovel 😦 I keep forgetting to switch to the Wood Hoe when Im decorating

[final pebble]

Ah that's true

I'd suggest the hammer but that would probably just make the problem worse as far as accidentally destroying stuff. I made that mistake while harvesting my crops. I switched to my hammer instead of the hoe and had to put my fences back up 😛

[smoky vigil]

Ill be sure to make a mental note of that one haha

[final pebble]

lolz yeah, don't cause mass destruction like I did 😛

[raw oxide]

Finally got around to putting stepping stones in my graden walkway, thoughts on improvement ?

[smoky vigil]

I keep forgetting about the stepping stones! Those are SO CUTE

[raw oxide]

Yeah, somebody had made the suggestion to me xD grey painting is this one :3

[final pebble]

The green ones are nice too since they look like mossy stones

[dry vessel]

the golden field

[dry vessel]

too sunny over here 😄

[dry vessel]

just love your inspiration and added 2 more rooms

[final pebble]

That's so cool! I'm glad I was able to inspire you!

[final pebble]

I'm revamping my fishing area so here's a preview of the old version...

And here's the new one, its dimmer but I like how the colored light flooring blends together. I just need a few more fishing nets to place the fish from each type of water. The fresh water has the largest area since the fish and loot from each biome is different.

[jaunty hare]

Oooh!! This looks so nice!

I love the usage of the fishing nets xD

[final pebble]

Thanks! I'm thinking of adding a few of the potted plants around the floating chests later too so it doesn't look as empty over there. XD

I used the maze walls since it kinda reminds me of old algae covered undersea ruins

[jaunty hare]

This is when I wish we could add algae/vines to the walls in the game, like the walls in the Sea/Cities

[final pebble]

IKR!?

My literal dream house is one covered in ivy out in the woods ❤️

[tall brook]

does getting water from one biome to other counts as fishing from the old one ? @final pebble

[final pebble]

Only the special water, any fish from fresh water in the stone, wilderness, and desert biomes don't transfer.

[tall brook]

dam i was hoping that u would say as long as i have it squared under that previus biome will work xD

thanks still 🙂

[final pebble]

I thought so too but the devs confirmed the fresh water fishes don't transfer between biomes

And no problem!

[crisp kraken]

my crop farm.
ain't much but it's honest

[finite ember]

that’s really well lit, it looks so cute they’re gettin the right amount of sunlight 😌

[dry vessel]

How big is your base?

[indigo beacon]

How you make nice circles ? Do u open map and count the N S E W blocks to make sure its neat? Or just yolo it.

[dry vessel]

yes, mark the center then count exactly each sides
