I call myself a veteran building complex structures in conan exiles....but you managed to show me a trick in this vid i didn't know yet. Well done!!! Keep up the great work!!!
When using the fence (or wall) technique to step up with foundations, you can make the steps walkable by placing fence foundations between the foundation pieces snapped at the lower position, similar to the step down technique. basically you are combining both techniques
Wow! I've fallen in love with this game recently, but even more so with the building, to the point that I've put my "real" playthrough on hold just to enjoy the various creative base building. I was trying to find videos that would give tips on creative building, but they're all focused on PVP building, how to make your base more efficient etc, so boy oh boy am I glad I chose to try just one more video before closing the tab! :)
We couldn't agree more, the building in this game is fantastic! Would love to hear what you've been building/planning to do. We've done a few building showcases ourselves (most with mods) if it's of interest, here is the playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PL-lGiHRbXVRuOfNPYhmpmp3I6iSswBPWn - Happy building! ⚒
@@Pixelcave Ended up hosting a small server for my group of friends and figured I'd make a fun little "resort"-style area. First time I tried using a circular shape as well after watching this, and it didn't turn out like a bunch of spaghetti! :) i.ibb.co/m4LPqBz/Conan-Exiles-Screenshot-2021-01-16-17-52-10-40.png Super excited to get better at this!
Brilliant "creative building" guide (tips& tricks)! While I knew most of them, I also had forgot most of them, so your guide was much needed! The balanced roofing technique was new to me though, so thank you again!
For the stepped foundation, one can also use fence foundations instead of the actual fences. These can be offset either slightly higher, or slightly lower, depending upon what is needed for the build.
After seeing the roofs, I punched through my screen at the subscribe button. Only started Conan Exiles a few weeks ago, and I'm having a blast building. Your videos are highly inspirational!
Benn building complex structures in Conan for a while now and I still love those roof tips. However, if you are trying to build functional buildings that look as pretty from the inside as out, connecting those levels with stairs can be a nigfhtmare with either elements sticking through the floors or you creating "dead" floors to hide the problem pieces in a closed off space.
Thank you, really glad you find the tips helpful! And yes, we also had our frustrations with building - but it's still such a great feature in this game.
@@Pixelcave First am gonna have to follow your twitter account and then build the structures.. Hope it gets an approval from veteran such as yourselves.
these are great videos. i never build ceilings this low though. always two or more tiles up like modern homes where i live. Low ceilings feel stifling in this game.
Thank you! And same as you, we usually build at least 2 walls high, but these were all for demonstration purposes (except for the Ewok tree village 😀).
I already used so many decoration and building tips from your video ❤️ You are amazing! Quick question: Do you remember the location where you built the tree base? It looks really amazing and i am looking foward to build one and yours just look too good to not try something similar
Thanks a lot, that's awesome to hear! ❤ Regarding the big tree base which can be seen in the beginning, that's somewhere between K7 and K8. There are a few really great trees which have several bigger branches and other trees relatively close by. If you want to see a full showcase of our Ewok Tree Village, you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dDoKC5_IJT8.html
For pillar an roof technique, unless you connect them to a proper, stability giving, ground connected node, they will disappear in first server restart. In short, it won't work with the amount of info given in video.
I'm about to start building my main base on an insland on Noob River between 2 giant spearmen statues. I want to cover the entire island. I want to line up foundations with islands shore line so I need to build lots of curves which won't be easy peezy as I'm literally completing the game for the 1st time and I don't have too much building experience. You video will help me a lot. Thanks.
Offsetting the roofs is getting harder and harder, it feels like the devs don't like it :) pretty sad since it allowed for pretty sick japanese style buildings! Anyways, great video, keep it up!!
Was looking for a keep/castle to add at the top of a hill to have a good vantage point and at 3:45 it's an amazing design. I'm going to use this if you don't mind. Thank you ever so much! If any of my friends ask for the design, I'll send them here and give credit. 🤝
The last step for the japanese pagora seems to be nerfed, I can't place that last wall to connect it with the 2 pillar and roof strat. Any other ways around this?
So on the fence riser for foundations could you remove all the fenced foundations on the build up in height then work backwards with the Fence foundations to make a smooth reverse effect?
Yes you can. But there's no need to build up first, just build your centre and build down on both sides with fence foundations. But yes, you could in theory do what you suggested.
You're from Denmark or Norway or something like that? As as was listening you sound a lot like the actors in the comedy version of vikings I forget the name of the TV show but I love it haha
Does the overlapping roof technique influence stability of the structure? I've seen another technique, where you can place a pillar at the corner of foundation, but there was a note that it bugs out stability, saying that it is 100%, but actually breaking down when server resets. I wonder if this technique has the same effect, as I would like to build entire floor that is overlapping the lower one, but I wouldn't want to log in to the entire thing being ruined.
Thank you! Regarding the quick destruction of pieces, on PC if you are Admin (not sure what it would be on console), you just point at an object and press Shift + Delete.
Well, the building in the video (I guess you refer to the overlapping roofs in the end) is clearly just for demonstration of the technique. You could for example plan a bit bigger build and hide the "pillars" of the awnings with some interior walls etc.
How would you go about roofing the oval foundation layouts at 3:26? I've tried and my mind can only make a single roof layout for it... and I don't like it very much. I've been trying to make something similar to the Nordheimer huts and these oval shapes lend to it nicely; yet when it comes to roofing I am struggling. Ugh... why must I desire a Nordheimer style base so badly T.T
I guess your solution is a double height roof which ends up being quite pointy? Bit tricky to exchange ideas/pictures here, feel free to DM us on Twitter any time.
In admin mode, you can use a shortcut for deleting items quickly - for PC, it's Shift+Delete. The good news for non-admins, is that the new building system that was introduced with Update 3.0 let's you also switch to a "Remove" mode where you can very easily delete things quickly.
"sometimes you cannot build any further (on a building with 20% stability) even if you raised it to 100" "just delete it and place it down again" WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT SO MUCH TIME WASTED thank you
@@Pixelcave I've been binging all your videos as of late experimenting and finding more ways to build and enjoy conan again after coming back to it. By the way I mean no disrespect or insult do you know the youtuber Vedui42? Your accents remind me of each other.
That's great to hear, glad you're enjoying the game after a break! And no worries about the comparison - while we (we are a team of 2) don't really hear it, it's kinda funny, because you aren't the first one mentioning the similarity. 😀
