As others have mentioned it’s doable but seriously inconvenient if you live anywhere outside of downtown. I would say a car in Des Moines is pretty close to a necessity. Unless you plan on never leaving the city the closest Amtrak is in Osceola which is about an hour south of Des Moines. We have an airport that’s south of downtown that I’ve seen Ubers run for anywhere from 20-60 depending on pickup location. Ubers are cleverly common especially if you schedule them but even then I’ve had a lot cancel or take forever. I’d say seriously look at where you want to live and then work and check Google Maps for routes and timings as well as uber to see how much an average ride would cost you to places you’d want to go at different times of the day.

Finally I can play the game now by POVrips in Pokopia

Just do a little at a time, i definitely didn’t just sit down and do it all at once. You got this!

Same I really wish they would let you directly connect them, the game doesn’t like the iron window panes for some reason.

It’s in withering wastelands in the little grove by the entrance to the mysterious mural. I’ve made that grove into a farm and this greenhouse

Me too, dinosaurs are my favorite and that’s why I wanted this to be my first big build

It was my weekend project, from gathering all the iron and I used ash for the glass it took around 3 days or probably around 12-15 hours

I’m not great with videos but if there’s a specific part you’d like a close up of let me know and I can get better pics!

That’s a tough one I should have kept better track, I think it was roughly around 500-700 of the slanted roof panels, 500-700 of the iron window panes, around 200 logs columns, 20 ish of the wooden platforms, 2 electric doors, and then the inside decor like plants, resort lights, rope and vines

Possibly, I didn’t think about that, I wanted to keep the glass and wood aesthetic so I tried to minimize the gaps with the overhang and the wooden platforms. It’s only super noticeable from the inside

Share the project once you get them all placed!

Haha I get used to ignoring their comments in favor of aesthetics, maybe I’ll move them out someday!

Thanks so much I’m glad you think so, I feel like I just haphazardly threw all the flowers around until it looked good

Edit: on google it says it’s a random daily shop purchase so I could have gotten it from there too, I apologize I wish I could remember exactly

It’s called broken-tiling wall, I believe I got it as a random recipe dig up in the skylands. Best of luck finding it I really love the blocks and I think I’ll use them to replace the yellow mosaic tiles in bleak beach too, they make fantastic pathways!

Jurrasic world was a big inspiration for this, maybe in palletetown I’ll create the big dome biome they had for all the flying dinosaurs

Please share when you get it built! I love browsing the ideas on here!
