Do only this type of block able to put dirt/flower soil on to get vines on it? I tried to put on many type of blocks but cant get it, or do I need to set the setting to quality to see the vines?
The stone road is called "Smooth Stone Road Block". There is also "Rocky Stone Road Block", which has the same coloration but is, as per their names, rocky instead of smooth. The smooth looks better in any case. I used this method to pave a massive area I intended to build a town on, only to recently discover a resource save world on Nexus mods in which someone had found those two missing road blocks and multiplied them. While I am grateful for this method, I'm playing this game for the design aspect, and since it lacks a built in creative mode, I don't feel bad using stuff from Nexus to achieve my design. I had no intention of entering that contest, and won't enter any others in the future; I just want to buildddddd
The building has a higher LOD rating than the decorations, so the bookshelves are not rendered when viewed from a distance, and the building as a whole becomes incomplete
If you have a unfortunate load distance and its very noticeable; you can place blocks inside the props so that it looks round and smooth up close, but switches to blocks when the prop is unloaded. Happy building!
I dont really think about it. Getting the materials is the fast part. When I need more of a material I go and farm one tool durability worth of that material. So if I need wood, I go chop wood until my axe breaks. Then I don’t need wood for a while. (With iron tools, and the skill that increases tool durability) The building can take hours and hours, but it’s the fun part. I’ve spent more than 120+ hours on this small town. Roughly estimated I’d say for every 8 hours of building I farm materials for 40 min.
To me, you've just opened up a whole new building style, I would have never have thought of using bookshelves to form a cylinder. Your tower looks great. Thanks for sharing BP 👍 P.S. You should put your Twitch link in the subscription - no I have to search manually 😊
It's crappy we have to try these shenanigan work around to make something that isn't square or rectanguler...needs an update for this kind of thing asap.
So, as a guy with just a bit of dev experience let me try my best to explain why it's not possible. Props are just 3D objects that you can place down ON a grid. The location is RELATIVE to the grid....so you can place a bookshelf at X = 34.2 Y=45.1 and that's fine.... But the terrain, IS the grid itself. You can't place Y=5 on Y=5.3. There's no way of getting around having a grid of some kind. That said, they could MAYBE if the engine allows for it, let the meshes for the voxels sort of blend together...but you wouldn't want them to always do that otherwise every single structure would have soft mushy rounded edges and nothing would look sharp. So it would have to be togglable and would need new meshes made from every angle for every building block.... So if it even is possible it would take an enormous amount of time and effort... literally quadruple the time it took to make every single building material already in the game. I hope this kinda explains why it's the way it is and ease some frustrations. It's not the dev's fault really.
I don't understand how or why they made decorations have free rotation and building pieces not. For a game this focused on building that should have been goal number one for the devs
@@AlexFry-p4t what makes me think they could do it is the fact that all of the decorative items and such can already do it. And even if they can't make the blocks rotate more for some reason, they could add curved prefabs to build. I can't imagine a single reason they couldn't have curved prefabs to build. The roofs aren't perfect squares, they are angled. Which means they could make a prefab that was curved
It should be noted that not only half timber blocks work with vines, but also rough cut stone blocks and possibly even others, ive done the test using blocks that the abandoned houses employ.
Yes! i typed this in the video description, as i found out after posting, but there are probably more combinations this works on, like citywall and stone/dirt 😁
Can you tell me the name of the stone block youre fusing into the bottom of the fancy stone? Youre using it on top of the Tarred shingle roof supports in the middle layer to create a stone support (1m)
Yes. Dirt road is a material you can get in the game. But stone road you can not, therefore you have to do this if you want to use stone roads. I’m not sure I understand what you mean by transplant dirt road
I do not like the voxel method of building in this game. My main complaint is not knowing exactly what things will look like before I place them. Other survival building games allow you to place the items exactly how you intend them.
It's Early Access so things might change, my hope is that they will change. The building tools certainly can use some tlc. I would also love a first person view, mostly because the player etc gets in the way of the view when building.
My base currently has a comfort level of 50, but I'm far from finished as I have to upgrade the bathroom, a few benches and the trophies which should easily get me to 60.
