I'm playing a professor character right now (like Indiana Jones) and am trying to work out a design for a museum/library ship (more "Homestead" musuem than "The Collector's" museum) Definitely plan on using your trick for the library bookshelves, so thanks!!!
I learned a neat trick from a video yesterday on how to keep items from sinking on your ship. After you are done placing everything do a manual save then exit to the main menu, reload the save and then they will no longer sink.
I've always done that at my outposts, but i'll admit I'm still scared to save and reload on my ships after getting the shield and the targeting bugs on my ships in the past
Can you list the total habs you used in this? From the video it seems like only three: 3x2 Empty Mess Hall, 2x1 Captain's Quarters, and the 2x1 Workshop (Not sure which brand)
Trying to remember, the middle floor is all Deimos 1x1, then Stroud empty captain's quarters, regular workshop and Armory, then the main floor is 2 Stroud all in ones, one furnished one empty, furnished Stroud crew station (I think), Empty Stroud mess hall is the big one, not 100% sure of the rest of the habs but it's mostly Stroud with maybe a couple of the original Deimos habs
I am really impressed, the work and attention to detail is amazing. I haven't played the game in months, and now after seeing your video, I feel the urge to jump back in and build my own leisure ship with all the bells and whistles. Thank you for the video, and keep up the good work.
I love being able to decorate in my ship, but as a hardcore fan of The Expanse, I always hear Amos Burton’s voice saying “goddamnit what’d I say about securing tools before we go into maneuvers?!”
How did you get your lighting to be so good even with all the items in your ship? I did this amount of decorating and everything gets pretty dark in a good majority of places
honestly lighting has been difficult for me too, sometimes it's fine, sometimes the same hab is practically pitch black I recorded the video during a "good period" but it's been a struggle I've found some furniture items seem to cause more problems than others, but havent found a proper solution for it yet
Yay! I'm so happy you jumped over to ship interior design! I now use the Chimera as my main ship for my last two 'universes' and love it. Of course I modify it quite a bit. I focused on the captain's hab for my empty hab design and found out about the issue with doors and ladders appearing more frequently than a normal hab. So I put the captain on one of the long arms so there's only one way in and out, through the back end. I find putting in windows is great for removing those awkward walls, giving more light and even more floor space to decorate in. Sticking the captain's hab on an arm like you find in the Chimera or Hyena works well. The other arm has an infirmary on the end, and connects to a 2x2 engine room. The captain's hab connects to a 2x2 living quarters and the 3x1's are now both sleeping quarters with a 2x2 mess hall in the middle to connect everything. Next level up is a 2x2 battle stations and armory. I no longer need to put in a workshop since you can put the workbenches anywhere. The back of the ship has two 1x1 habs stacked up for the single ladder to connect all 3 levels, bridge, battlestations and living area.
nice sounds like a great floor plan to work with! I put a few spacer pieces in to get rid of some exceptionally annoying doors, but the ladders are a force to be reckoned with, they were relentless everytime I tried putting a porthole anywhere, in the end i just had to accept defeat... for now...
I can try, it's actually a ship you can capture called the Chimera, both SysDef and UC Security have them, I mostly just switched the cargo hold out for the empty mess hall, and some of the other habs from Deimos to empty Stroud versions
I captured a Va'ruun Eulogy to build something like that in at some point, that thing is like a large hab lasagna so it'll take a while to fill up though
Nice job. This gives me hope that I can build something close to what's in my head. I need a few special Habs and I'm hopping to see more ship mods now that CK is out. I've designed a few (dozen) asymmetrical ships but I'm never really happy with them from a piloting perspective. So, I'm hopping someone builds an adaptor hab companion way that connects a single wide cockpit to a 2xX hab - basically a triangular shape. I also want Empty versions of all the 1x2 habs done in 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 2x3 (long) 3x2(wide). These should be simple since it requires only taking existing empties and classifying them for function and appropriate crew/passenger counts - for a few manufacturers, creating empty versions of existing habs. I'm looking at the available cargo habs that actually have cargo ratings (I like alot) and "TN's Hab Tweaks" mod. I might take a shot at (although I suspect someone will beat me to it, probably by the time I finish writing this). I also love to see more comfort oriented furniture for ships, and a Place Anywhere type mod like we had in FO4. And maybe some smaller framed art to fit into those weird spots on walls.
A Place Anywhere mod is the thing I'd love to see the most. I didn't realize how spoiled I'd gotten with that till I started building in Starfield without it. Not just because of the placement aspects either, but the scaling too, it makes the build process so much smoother and easier
@@MissOPlays no doubt, mods are addictive. I'd love it if you could specify something like Scribed Molding to fill in between say a picture or even a monitor that was placed off the wall which would fill in behind it providing a seamless connection. Also Snap to grid. Even with the smallest setting for Rotation it's really hard to get stuff to line up.
Thanks for another video. I reinstalled the game and love Bethesda's building and decorating mechanics. The update is amazing in comparison to release. I also got all hyped about new game plus and burned myself. Your videos will give me the inspiration and instructions I need to make playing the game much more rewarding and fun.
@@MissOPlays I would greatly appreciate it Of course no rush You are an amazing artist and designer I was blown away and amazed at the layout Id love to see a version of the millennium falcon with close to lore accurate as possible layout Or a version of the Black pearl
I absolutely love this - the captain's suite is exactly how I would imagine it should look like. Almost gives me a more luxury and bigger version of Cpt Archer's quarters on Enterprise NX-01 vibe. I also love how you use the 0s as partition walls. Also the 1x1 bedroom is something I have been mulling about for my next shipbuild
This is fucking incredible, absolutely amazing job I’m so impressed. This eye for detail and level of creativity is a gift, unfortunately I was born without it lol.
One way to prevent the ship builder placing an unwanted ladder is to put an equipment plate on top of the lower hab and drop-glitching the top hab onto it.
I'm actually on Xbox too, so everything here should be possible for everyone. Somethings are made using a combination of items built together to look like something new, and a lot of items are junk items I've collected during my travels and used to decorate the rooms after building I have some tutorial videos on how to do the different techniques used in this build and my others
@@Buzz_329 usually crouch down before entering build mode, then it's a lot of trial error to find the sweet spot where they'll slide under and stay. I find that trying to position them from as far away as possible tends to work best, if I'm close they like to jump up on the the surfaces above more aggressively
The new update made all my surface items sink in my outposts. They were fine before the update. Even the items placed with the build mode sunk. Now I have ten outposts to repair. I was wondering if that happened to anyone else? Very frustrating! 🤪
@@MissOPlays thank you very much :) its crazy how dedicated and how well everything turned out... one of my complaints of this game was that ship interiour always looks like ship interiour... why not looking like a living room or more themes... a casino, a nightclub, spacer, your interiour changed the whole atmosphere of the hubs i also liked basebuilding in fallout 4 alot... and the mods helped so much (place anywhere, USO, wich ads soooo many items)... putting stuff in the world without limits, no snapping needed, change sizes of objects etc.... i would love to see more in depth functions in the future, time for the mod tool to be released by bethesda... new quests new worlds new npcs new weapons new game elements better base / ship building
@@Simsonlover222 I loved building in FO4 too, Place Anywhere and USO equivalents are the mods I'm most hoping for. I always enjoy getting as much out of the vanilla building as possible, but there's no denying mods open up a lot of possibilities, and there's a bunch of items we can see at various POIs that I'd really like to be able to build with
Wow! I'm more into ships than outposts, so I'm super excited to see this. Maybe you covered it in a previous video, but how did you get the sink to... er... sink?
what I do is build it onto a wall decor item first, then build the sink onto that. That way the placement is based on the wall decor item instead of the sink so you have a lot more freedom for where you can put it The wide, black trapezium shaped weapon display plaque is my current favorite, thought the paintings tend to be easier to get the sink to place on top of
Great work as usual. I’m yet to try out the new patch, I was so sick of getting constant crashes I’ve had to quit playing it. Hopefully the new patch fixed that issue🙃
hopefully you'll have better luck post patch. I was having awful crashing issues a while back, like the game would crash every few minutes. the patch before last helped a lot for my game, I'll keep my fingers crossed this one works the same magic for you
love i t love it love it , soooo detailed and well done, was looking forward to you doing this!!! I have a love hate relationship with these empty habs the spawning of all door and ladders allows for lopping and in some cases better layouts - but in other situations put ladders in places that are just a total nuisance . The sinkings items really are annoying as heck - The 3x3 mess halls are my favorite to use . The kitchen counter is really smart, going to def use that one !! Thank you for sharing !!
I've been lucky with ladders so far (knock on wood), and have largely embraced the door situation. On the one hand it means loosing a lot of wall features, but on the other hand my big ships are so easy to navigate now and I think I love that
Very nicely done. I wish you could build these Habs and then have a passive mode where your crew just lives there and you could watch them using the area.
Very cool and Very helpful... If I had any patience. The second I see a ladders or door I didn't intend appear I get so angry! hulk like even... I hope they, or mods implement edit options for these desired abortions. Yes I called these ladders and doors abortions. Sorry, I hate them so much!
the doors and ladders are what made me rage quit ship building when the game first came out, the new update has made it at least fun to work on existing ships. That said, the damn ladders still seem to find a way to crush your dreams There was so much loud cursing when I was trying to add windows to my build because ladders would spring up each time like weeds, there has to be a way to tame them!?
@@Forty1toScratch have you put any points into Outpost Engineering? most of the furniture and decora options are unlocked through that. You only need to put two skill points into it to unlock all the furniture and decor items, then complete the research projects and everything should become available to build after that
@@MissOPlays none 😅 have yet to build an outpost. Will be setting an outpost whenever I return to playing Starfield. Any suggestions on a planet to begin building a starter outpost?
