[@danfitzgerald3176]

Building is my favorite part of the game, and the things you come up with never cease to amaze. Can't wait to get on a build server after work to start experimenting with this.

[@GameLightz]

Dan! Thank you so much for keeping the channel going! Please DM me if you're on my discord. No words for how appreciative I am, me and the whole Glightz fam:)

[@bagelz3359]

I've had teammates try to dog on me for being a "builder", but from my experience my building does more work than any PVPer will ever do. A PVPer can't stop a 8man offline raid, but my builds can stop a 8man offline raid. Never underestimate the builders, they'll cause the biggest clans to waste their boom and slowly accumulate enough boom to raid those same clans

[@valeriojackable]

Application of a known foundation placement technique to create something new and innovative. You managed to bring AGAIN novelty in an otherwise stale building landscape. Bloody brilliant. I am a fan.

[@averylonelyduck]

Bro its insane how complex some bases are becoming now im excited to try this and see the bases some people come up with

[@tsukiirust]

Haha same im getting on rust now to see if i can add anymore to this

[@CrowRust]

Love the turret hidden by the roofs!

[@GameLightz]

I knew u'd like that one. Really once you start playing with the concept, the possibilities are nearly endless

[@davidkippenhuck5963]

Between both your channels, there are some amazing and unique designs that can be made.

[@Yaroub.]

can we add this to ur new Viper !? @Crow

[@Uhhmazing123]

Builders are just another breed. Keep up the good work.

[@noc1087]

That turret placements is *chef's kiss!

[@visnyliss]

Ohhh yeah, this is definitely going in our base for the next wipe. I love that it's not really disruptive of existing base building techniques, it literally just makes them better!

[@GameLightz]

Exactly, u get functionality for free :) But you do have to practice it and make sure everything is done proper.

[@visnyliss]

@@GameLightz Too right! I tried it out and discovered something others might find useful: It can be difficult to center yourself in the triangle corner if the foundations of your base are too close to the ground. If this happens, just put low walls on the triangle foundations to your left and right and demolish them once you have yourself centered and aim aligned. I found it easier to line up my aim doing this as well since you just have to aim at the spot where the low walls meet.

[@GameLightz]

@@visnyliss Yes, very good :)

This could potentially change building as we know it. Definitely revolutionary in base building as far as turret roof protection goes and wide gapping in general

[@The_Pariah]

For real, big thanks for making these vids, GLightz. I really dig your teaching style and the elevator music is perfect for the type of video. Plus the little extras you add create that unique flair that sets you apart even more from others.

Great video!!! Let’s get another wipe going soon!

I would love that!

[@cowdy293]

Do realize there floor stacking method from Gabe where you can achieve SAME exact concept. where you build 5 squares - then start in the middle square, and go out i think 4 squares (or may be 5) and then place triangle. Delete the rest and go back in with triangles; Then place quarter walls on the nearest triangle to the squares as a ruler. Then place door frames on all squares and shoot out middle square piece. then use triangle piece to make a new height foundation as you were doing. It might be extra steps to do it all, but it is moreee " dummy proof " method if newer builder is having issues with your method. Nonetheless, love your work and tips, and cant wait try out your method and see how it goes and feels. Great work btw gamelights! Also, you should place video about advancing building technique, around advance bunker technique i learned. Ya know where people usually place a floor frame above the bunker part? you do the same, but you then place floor on top of the floor frame. Then what happens is, you manipulate the bunker, and you can then NOW make a bunker come from a DIFFERENT direction then the way it was intended OR if done created, can make double sides bunkers to other cool turnouts of results. I can send you some screenshots if ya dont know what im talking about.

[@GameLightz]

That's a method that could work as well, sure! Any freehanding method will work if you practice it enough. I think it's more accurate this way though, because you can more exactly judge the EXACT compass heading by looking at the center of the corner, but really, anyone proficient with freehanding will do it their own way I think. Regarding the bunker, I think you'll have to show me that personally because I'm not sure what you mean exactly.

[@Gameyfur]

I really gotta visit a build server to experiment to make a crazy base in my style. This vid is a big help for my evil plans.

[@craigcalladine851]

After a bit of expermenting it is also possible to combine these with the freehand style, main tc connected peaks you showed a while back making these viable in a whole ton more base designs without secondary tcs

[@GameLightz]

Yup. You could always vary the height on those, which is why in that video I showed a specific method meant to make sure you get the exact base height.

[@craigcalladine851]

@@GameLightz yes but this triangle method makes it a lot easier to consistently get the height you would want while still easily connecting to core.

[@GameLightz]

@@craigcalladine851 You can get the other style of freehanded peeks easy too. Instead of aiming for the center triangle in the twig low-walls, aim at the top of the triangle or a bit higher. See what I mean?
