Building/Ship Show off your house :D

My first house with my first character.


Sadly, it was a day's walk from spawn, so I didn't use it. xD

 

Spaceship-house
Because stay in a planet is boring for me

 

So, I was bored with the one location I decided to use for housing, thus I decided to look for a cove planet, for the serene music and waves it has, and decided to start anew. So far, loving how it's turning out, at the cost of deconstructing my former house to build this baby. Again : Variety is the spice of the Universe.

 

A collborated work in progress. Unnamed so far, but I think the idea is that we all create our little houses (or whatever's in mind atm) and help each other out with the designs.



Sorry for the crappy cutnpaste

more works from my friend (who started with the lighthouse+small cottage).

It's called ornate roof and ornate tile they are for hylotl I think and will be findable only when their settlements are implemented - however you can get them from coding a merchant, any blosck making mod (eg - block replicator mod is onle up to date one I think) or the spawnable objects mod I think makes them obtainable but they are a vanilla item just not yet placed in world

 

I just noticed how good exposed roof tiles look (from inside the house).
Very good decision.

I gotta say, that roof design is one of the best I have ever seen (for the cottage).

 

So I haven't really built a house before because I have just used my ship, but what would you say is the best sector to build a house ( I am going to start a new character so preferably not the X sector ). also if you have any good coordinates that would be appreciated.

 

I always set it up on a low-lvl planet (sometimes the start one, but usually not) so you can take on the creatures easily or so it's peaceful building, or having no worries about around you since nearly nothing can kill you.
Usually, I put something small at Spawn, so I beam down into something safe, and maybe a checkpoint somewhere along the way to the house, if it's farther away.

That is how I do it, at least. Others put it up in farther sectors, but they like things differently than I do, I guess.

 

O

 

*Ok Thanks

 

yes, he is indeed very good with the details.

 

Over the pat week me and a friend have been playing a more survivalist RPing type of game where you start out with nothing and cannot visit other planets. Also resources can be used to make specific objects and blocks such as clay for bricks, plant fibers for thatch or animal hides or plant fibers for tents. I will not bore you with our whole list but here are the screenshots we took.



We started out in a cave and then added tents.



Then we tried huts but the flying monsters kept killing our NPCs.



So we skipped the NPCs and made one big house with a bridge.



And added a Windmill for our wheat.



And even added a temple. It to forever to get enough platinum,gold and silver for that.

Also its seems to rain ALL the time on this planet, which is annoying since even with roofs if you look away water will leak in and wash way torches, fireplaces an campfires.

 

Nice concept. Concerning the leaking, my manor further up is also on a planet with much rain. And rainstorms. And thunderstorms. Anyway. I notice the leaking seams to happen, if you have no background blocks behind the foreground blocks that border sole background blocks. What I mean is, if you have the background wall of your house directly topped by a roof that does not have a background but just foreground blocks, than it tend to leak.

Ok, I hope at least someone understand, what I want to say with that...

 

In other words, make sure your roof has a background. I figured that out too.

 

Yes! That's what I mean!

 

I redid my windmill and added bakery.

And thanks for the tip on the background tiles preventing leaking.

 

Just another cute little house you can make fast and easy

 

This is my house, not the most practical, i know, but im proud of it
Also i just finished building it, so i have yet to place the crafting stuff.

The left gate
The house

My dojo

The meditation temple

The crafting room

And the right gate

There's also a little farm passed the right gate, but i haven't planted anything yet.
For those wondering i used the Sacred Hylotl Tree mod for that awesome iron sakura tree.

 

Really awesome work there. Very attractive.

 

Here's a Japanese style house with a rice patty of course
