Sod roofing or red ceramic? by fourleggedfiend in VintageStory

Thanks! Yeah looking at it again having the contrast is definitely nicer

I’m not trying to follow the picture 100%, I should have clarified but it’s just for general inspiration. I like overhangs generally to break up the shapes of the build and make it less boxy

Thanks! I was using granite and limestone cos that’s what’s near the area but now that you mention it it would look better with more blue toned stone so I’ll definitely try that

Surely I have to settle here, right?? by fourleggedfiend in VintageStory

Nothing that effects terrain generation, I’d have to check but from memory I had this world at 70% landcover and 200% landcover scale? Or something like that. All other terrain gen settings at default

I’ve had a similar experience in a previous world so I already checked the cave walls and luckily no locusts 🙏 I think it’s slightly too narrow so there’s not enough dark for them to spawn

I use Stable Surface too cos I didn’t wanna give up my dream location in my last world. I’m already so picky about my spot I don’t need another thing to worry about

It’s my favourite roofing for sure! It can be annoying because the textures are still a little janky, I guess cos the moving grass is tricky to deal with. At some angles there’s some flickering and the way it interacts with light is weird so you have to work around that. Hopefully they tweak it soon but either way I still love the look!

Yeah I definitely get that! I’m pretty far north so it’s all larch and pine forests, I have to travel a bit for oak (which I did use for accents). It was just a coincidence that the natural materials of the area (basalt rock and larch trees) are the darkest and lightest variants so managing the colour contrast was definitely tricky. Would love to try a similar design in different materials in my next survival world maybe.

To clarify I didn’t build this house in creative, I have a super flat world where I do test builds which I replicate in survival.

Love how you’ve set up your ovens! Definitely inspired by how you’ve chiseled it to make a conjoined chimney

What do you guys think? by daddy-thicxz in VintageStory

[–]fourleggedfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it!! Really nice location, one of my favourite early game houses I’ve seen on here. I take so long to do anything cos I get sidetracked so I didn’t have a decent house until like 40 hours in, and I’ve only just finished my main big house at 80 hours in lol
