Icarus - How to build - ADVANCED BUILDING TUTORIAL 

You're welcome, we will have to see what else I come up with

@@GhostBuilds Absolutely no pressure but if I can do a suggestion, you czn maybe show how you start with a build like this.

@@dadillegaming1563 oh that's simple. No need for a video on that. I literally have no idea what a build will look like when it's done. I just wing it. I've never actually pre-designed any of my builds in any game. I just add till I'm happy. For this one I knew I wanted the look of a traditional Alpine cabin but that was it. When I first started this build my buddy asked me why I was building a gazebo LOL it never ends the way it starts. He literally said what's this gazebo thing for over here... Little did he know

@@GhostBuilds Ok, cool. Hahah, lol, gazebo, indeed little did he know :P

I actually play alot of games other than valheim and Icarus I just happen to upload stuff from those games. I played Ark for years as well so I'll be eagerly waiting the release of Ark 2..just not sure how I feel about vin diesel

@@GhostBuilds what about the forest u should do some build videos with the forest

@@ronnyrrr932 that game doesn't really have great building. I played through it, and wasn't impressed with it

@@GhostBuilds yeah I can see that, every building is just brown

@@GhostBuilds what wrong with Vinny?

Glad to oblige

Glad I could inspire

Glad I could help

@@GhostBuilds you absolutely did. Doing an outpost build vid today and will be crediting you for inspiration and design!

You'll be fine lol you got this

You should probably do something like this in Outpost.

Many pixels died, so we could build monuments with their corpses…

That is one of my complaints I'll have to get tricky and start hand making furniture lol

Still better than Valheim. I spent so much time making "furniture" out of the short beams and window shutters... :D

In outposts storms don't damage anything. They are just light rain storms. So you'd be good.

Try HOME instead. END does break lock, sort of, but it's... different. You'll see. I find HOME to be more useful. Actually, since discovering the HOME key, I don't use END at all anymore and am not really sure what it is "supposed" to be used for. (With END I have to worry about things resnapping when I get close to other pieces. It's very limiting.)

A lot of this is how he did it in Valheim too. I recognize the circle technique.

The building system in general is garbage. It uses the old style of Ark/Rust with zero improvement to it. Both system were horrible years ago.

I can’t get anything to not snap. You’re saying free placement is borked now?

not to mention they were showcasing stuff like this... on their own youtube channel... don't you just love it when devs force you to play a game a specific way?

Hmmm I know your comment is from a year ago now, and the game is constantly changing. I'm pretty sure all of the tips in the video still work now. If anything, it's easier. I'm not sure if they added the HOME key for unsnapping or if it's always been there, hidden. It's definitely easier than the END unsnapping he does in this video, because with END it seems to be a temporary unsnap, until you get close to another building piece, then it snaps again. They call it reset focus or something like that and the key is displayed in the UI as you're building. I don't really understand what it does exactly, just that I was using END like crazy after this video for unsnapping from grid, until I came across someone use HOME and realized that is the real "unsnap" functionality I was looking for. If you look in the game's keybinds, it's there, even though it doesn't show up in the UI alongside END while building. I use HOME to do all the same things he does in this video, I just have to worry a lot less about things snapping if I get too close to another building piece. And if it ever does snap, I just hit HOME and wait for it to reappear; after that I can resume adjusting and it generally doesn't resnap again.

You assume I am human. Maybe imma ghost.....boo! Thanks for the love

I use the terrain to change the elevation of each block. That's the only way I know how to change the height of each block. Using the different elevations of the terrain and placing a block then working off from it

It's a glitch in the game. I have random pieces get deleted as well sometimes. Sometimes I don't notice until days after

I explain exactly this in the video near the end

@@GhostBuilds I watched your comments towards the end and re watched. I have also see posts about how you just have to tap the key a few time. It really just does not work for some of us. I figured it must be my laptop's condensed keyboard.

@@GhostBuilds Also amazing build! Love it and the tutorial

If you are still playing, try the HOME key instead. I don't know if this is a new thing they added or if it was always hidden away in the keybindings and just not displayed in the build UI the way END is... But HOME will let you unsnap and get close to other objects without it latching back on to the grid right away.

To be honest it doesn't. It's one of the more frustrating ones. I've built in many games over the years and this one still has me cursing sometimes haha

I'm not sure. There is only 1 way to find out. Give it a shot and let us know

So I guess you are still playing 😁

Open World mode, baby!

Yo have to build the wire frame first, remove the floor then add the lights to the nodes

Valheim hands down

@@GhostBuilds i see the building seems way more in depth. do you have to grind out you mats like on icarus or is there like free build mode or something i may have to check it out i think its only like $10 on steam rn

@@GhostBuilds also how did you do the chandelier on icarus it looked like you used a brazier but howd you get it to stick to the ceiling

@ryanhobbs1778 there is a creative mode. They just added it I believe. I use mods and debug mode now. I don't grind for mats anymore. I've played the game through 2 times. I just build now

On prospects yes. Not on an outpost. Outpost does not have severe weather and is in the game for people who just want to build and not worry about Predators or severe weather

Beams (and railings, doors, etc) seem to be "special" and don't take weather damage, at least in my experience. So you can use whatever beams you like the look of on your exterior. I use things like interior wood beams and aluminum beams outside all the time. They can still take damage from beasts and other things, so keep that in mind. Material does make a difference for support, so be careful if you are using them to reinforce something that would otherwise crumble.

@@mithryanna great thankyou!

Hard to explain in words but, You can't do it if you're snapping off a structure. The best way I can explain it is, the walls are considered a seperate structure that the roof. I build a seperate frame that isn't snapped to the foundation to support the roof. That way you don't get collision. Any pieces that are snapped together are considered one piece and will cause collision but if you start them off say a pillar that isn't snapped to the house it will mesh through anything.

@@GhostBuilds I was curious if this is how you were doing it. Does this hurt weather durability or shelter requirements?

@@AngryFaceGames_ there is still a shelter buff yes. But none of my builds would ever survive outside of outpost. The outpost only gets light rain which doesn't damage anything

@@GhostBuilds yah the new daylight outpost has full weather. I'm trying to figure out some cool builds that will also survive.

Yes

You mean snap to grid? End key. But it's not permanent

@@GhostBuilds yeah snap the grid. When I use the END key it swaps it but if I'm too close from another construct it will realign with it... You don't seem to have this problem

Same here, I cannot get unsnap to work at all. :(

@@Nolaton check that you have it set in keybinds

@@GhostBuilds I am hanging my head in shame! I changed it at some point. It works now. 🥰 Now just need to practice the non-snap movements.

In this game ya they do... It's a bit of a pain. But I persevered through it. Cool builds can be done it's just a bit of work.

You have a tiny white dot in the middle of your screen. Move that to what you want to remove and hit Y. You will destroy anything you want doing that and plus you get most if not all mats back doing that.

TY I appreciate it. @@mithryanna
