Indeed. And you don't necessarily need to build a whole city. If you want to keep your empire as a small village, it's up to you.
But you still have to get all the supplies in Survival, when it it much easier to use /admin mode to build.
There's fun in building with limited materials. It stimulates your creativity and makes you try different things. You'll need to find workarounds to problems you don't have when in admin mode, like building a staircase to climb a really big mountain or to reach the end of a mine shaft. It makes your whole planet look more... occupied? Something like that.
If you get the blocktable plus mod, you can use basic materials to make the more complex blocks to build with too. But it is up to you. It's for fun, and just a suggestion for a fun direction to take in building.
Thank you for the suggestions I will definitely take it into consideration as I have an idea of the type of direction I could go with this already
So after a cataclysmic crash I lost all my bookmarks and teleport locations so I lost my house I'm not giving up and I will find my house again but for the time being I've settled on a small island on a ocean planet - how cute
If the universe folder is still in your starbound folder and populared, you can still find your lost planets... For the coordinates are stored on them.
I know but it was just a case of finding the right one and there was a lot so I started a fresh character again Thank you It really means a lot
If you don't visit many planets, your house may be easy to recover by searching the coordinates shown as file names on your \Starbound\giraffe_storage\universe folder. If you want a detailed guide on that, I'm sure either TanzNuke or SkyAxis (not wanting to abuse their goodwill, here) have tutorials for that ready to be copy/paste-d if you ask them on Starbound's subreddit. Even if you visit many planets, you may still find your builds, just don't lose hope!
So today I experimented with Avali building materials and made this lovely little tent Also managed to get an automated pixel farm and a room for my pet weasel in the back of my ship There's more: I'm currently working on finding a suitable place to set up a main base Any suggestions?
I'd recommend either Oceanic or Forest planets because of the pleasant landscape. I'm building a city in a barren planet, though, because of the annoying mobs killing me and my population.
I've always felt a very welcoming vibe from ocean planets They always seem really relaxing Barren planets are always really nice to build on because of the lack of restrictions - I'd love to hear more about how that city of yours is going
Well, I say I'm building a city, but I don't really know how it's going to be, lol, it's not a project I give all that priority. I reserved the whole planet, built foundations, a "sewer system" and a subway line and am occasionally building things as ideas pop up (and destroying/fixing others when I find they do not fit what I initially planed), so it's a slow process. I even built a Theater with an overall design I really liked, but ended up destroying it because it was too small compared to the other buildings. I do have some buildings ready and some under construction, but you'll have to forgive me for postponing the screenshots til' I finish the downtown. There's this, though.
Been doing some little developments on my ship - I'm really proud of it right now There's even a little kitchen where food is grown and prepared in the same area
I have done a few new things with the ship Cockpit update: Kitchen Updates (It looks a tad more spacey now) - New rooms: Treasury - Quibble and Tritrot habitat thing - And a engine coolant reservoir thing -
