(Pax-Dei) Building My Castle SOLO -70 hours

[@EdgePitSwing]

I clicked for the content, but stuck around for the EXTREMELY chill vibes and ambience. Love the presentation.

[@JohnDoe-yo2us]

totally agree!

[@pablo0713ftw]

I'm a dad with a full time job and university. I love this game and play solo. I love the grind. I don't have much free time to play, so a game like this shouldn't be for me. I finished my house and found the game to be a very relaxing break from real life. There's no rush to do anything, and that works well for me.

[@jordangallemore]

I agree most people's reviews have been rough. Love this game

[@kainekorin168]

I love this game, I play with my sister and we bought tier 2 and upgraded to tier 3 a few days later. We have played over 100 hours so far and enjoyed it despite the bugs and such. We can't wait for the commerce update and future ones. This is an amazing game.

[@MrLonwolfmq]

Very nice. I can’t believe you built that in 70 hours! Nice views as well. Like you, I have been loving Pax Dei.

[@twooldguyz]

Really enjoy your videos -- presentation, personality, content -- keep them coming.

[@ThePuppetMaster33]

holy shit lol i was the guy that lived across the way from you. came over after a few days. you gave me a tour!!!! nice lol

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@Justin-vc3qy that's cool, I remember that! I'm glad you found my video.

[@ThePuppetMaster33]

@thewildernessstudio4371 yea man the place came out awesome!!! Love it. I just saw the thumbnail and was like dude.....that looks like that guys spot kinda next to me hahaha

[@elijahmceachin2820]

The build looks amazing. One thing, if you don't mind, you will need A LOT more storage. I am completely solo as well and I have an entire storage room with like 50 or so chest and that's still not enough. But again, I love the build.

[@davy-ish]

They're adding more slots per storage box today! Hopefully that helps bring down how many you need.

[@Falkthorn]

Really enjoying your videos and I feel the same way about the game. Looking forward to seeing how the game develops and grabbing a cup of coffee with your next video.

[@CrackCatWantsPat]

Nice build! A small tip is to use the small stone foundation blocks instead of stone walls. Castle walls were usually really thick so using the foundation blocks adds to realism, if that is your goal. This also makes it easier to build higher

[@alexarw1]

played almost 9 hours straight but have no wall standing lol, lost my clothes etc because i died like 5 times before i landed somewhere in Trecassis (funny i can probably find your castle). Love the crafting etc as well, super nice castle men! thanks for the explanation as well, cheers

[@karlaskreation]

I love your presentation. Thank you for sharing!

[@turkeygerky2781]

It's all about the Journey, brother. Unfortunately, the vocal minority tend to be very loud. A lot of folks want to go fast. They're the ones that will burn out. Meanwhile, me and my 4 other friends are just having fun. There are some frustrating things and I feel like some of the gaps in some of the different "professions" are a bit weird. But aside from some server stuff the game has been pretty damn good. Ive seen and been in much worse EA's, hell Ive been in much worse Betas, lets be real.

[@misssequoiasun]

I prefer to experience a new game trying out everything first. Even being in a test group things have grown and improved. That said larger guilds have established people that prefer to do certain things lessening the chance to ever have those roles which takes away from my own growth , understanding and experience. Solo or a small group is ideal when trying something out for me. I test out and try new ideas constantly. Loved what you did, it's very inspirational.

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@misssequoiasun I definitely agree! Especially with this game and the amount of content we have right now, I feel it's a great experience to have solo or with a small group. Also that you don't get bored before they add new content.

[@troyhavok8605]

That's impressive. This game has really blown me away.

[@Red80008]

This is amazing! A great work of art in the first place and there's no doubt about it but also it looks and feels like a real castle. Everything makes sense, nothing is neither too much nor too little, it's not too big (!) everything has its purpose and the whole property feels like it was built for purpose not for looks and according to the resources at hand (vs having infinite resources like in the game). Great job, I congratulate you on this masterpiece and it is by far the most realistic looking and feeling castle I have seen so far! (And if you don't mind, I will use it as inspiration ^^) One tiny advice/piece of criticism if you were indeed looking to go for most realism: really high embrasures/arrow slits like you did in the big main tower/main castle (especially if they're meant to be windows) wouldn't have been built irl bc they give away an insane amount of heat and castles were already pretty hard to keep warm (hence the installation of wooden paneling/tapestries/drapes as insulation). They look really cool but kinda take away from the realism of the rest of the castle. I apologize for the un-asked-for and maybe unwanted explanation (because you may know already yet chose to do you instead), I don't mean any offense, on the contrary...

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@Red80008 Thank you, I do appreciate it! I was trying to go for realism and fantasy, but also with some artistic flare. Thank you for the suggestion, and that makes total sense for me it was just an artistic choice. There are definitely some things I would change if I were going for just realism.

[@iforaniNOX]

I agree, the building is what makes the game for me. A little bummed you gotta drop 100 bucks if you want to have 3 plots tho. i'm also nervous how expensive it will be after release when you have to pay for a sub per plot

[@metalcheff91]

Great video man! I've been looking for a video on how to build. No one on KZbin give you all the little tips you did. Keep it up, you got my sub!

[@s.devries4349]

Thank you! This is awesome and very inspiring!

[@eggbert6207]

Great build thanks a for sharing it.

Looks lovely.

Thanks for sharing your build!

[@alanmcgaha5032]

Absolutely gorgeous build! Notes taken 😊

[@sascenturion]

What a friggin awesome build! ...absolutley love it man ..well done! Enjoyed the video ..clear and relaxed chat ..nice. I also bought the game to craft and build ( love the graphic style of pax dei) so im really enjoying it too. Do you know if there's Arches in the building options? ...wooden doorway arches or stone arches? I would love a big double iron hinged door for ..lets say a castle build?. Cheers

[@tomipartanen]

Game is amazing and i love this building system!

[@Bummer873]

That looks awesome! Great job man.

[@marcosrocha5016]

amazing castle. pax dei the best game

[@kristimoore8763]

That is really beautiful!

[@JonCamp-o2k]

KZbin just recommended your video and i'm so glad it did! A brother who is playing and loving the same game as me! Amazing! I'm also mostly solo but do have a couple friends that put in a little bit of work here and there. I will be watching! Jesus is KING!

[@jonque007]

Nice Build Sir!

[@minecraftlifevlogs4186]

So beautiful!! I’m building a castle/manor house. Could you explain how to build the spriral staircase? I would love to make one. Thanks

[@Wolv3rine83]

very nice build

[@PaxDeityThoughtfulGamer]

I really hope this game attracts those that enjoy the journey. People trying to speed thru and meta this game won’t enjoy it.

[@ethanfowler2413]

Imagine this game in the later stages when you have full on kingdoms having all-out wars.

[@alliepasswaiter]

I'm loving the game so far. 84 hours in

[@marcusphsuwandi]

always start with Coffee brother.. nicely done. i try a bit of pax dei, but its too grinding, so i stick back to soulmask game, where i can have slaves to help me to grind, and even crafting better than the main char.

[@Obokaman77]

Hello, I am a fan of survival games but especially the construction of these... one of my favorites has always been Conan Exiles (with mods included, 1200h, of which 70% are built) I have managed to make very different themed constructions with very good finishes, that's why I think I have some criteria to give you my opinion. I have seen your other video where you have created a house and I really have to tell you that it impressed me much more, despite its size, much more than the castle. This one doesn't quite convince me, I don't know if it's because it's your first construction or it lacks finishes, but it doesn't convince me. I don't really like the towers, tall squares without middle windows... they are like pillars. neither do the roofs of the entrance towers. It's not a criticism, because I know what it costs and the hours, but I would like you to rebuild your castle to the extent you can and leave it up to the quality of the house. Do you think I am unfair, demanding or cruel in my comments? I hope not... I would like to see another video of yours with a reconstruction, thank you.

[@jeffery2005]

Looks incredible. Consider me inspired.

[@psies2005]

The flickering started with me after update to latest Nvidia drivers few days ago. It seems to be fixed when changing from bordeless screen resolution to windowed or full screen

[@bxqpxd]

can't be right - them streamers are saying you can't build one solo ;-) joking obv they need insta result for views, grinding ain't an option for them - good luck with your playthrough

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

I have a hard time thinking they have the right plan with the way plots and buildings work in Pax. I think people who want to build are going to want to keep building. The limited plots (or subscription-based plots) mean players will eventually run out building opportunities, and that seems like a major problem to me. If they add more stuff to do in time to shift the game away from building, then that won't necessarily be fun for the people who primarily enjoy building. I haven't bought it yet, but I really do love the idea of being able to build in a multiplayer world - I tried to get into "Boundless" multiple times because it offered this, but in a more minecraft style.

[@gustavoduffrayer6006]

They need to run with PVE and PVP and keep it clean, so far it's a farming and building game and in that it's done well and has been successful.

[@Foxcroft32]

nice building.

[@bovineox1111]

Hmm tbf not everyone had bad 1st day experience my experience was fine. It was only v late on that building elements didn’t pop into existence right away

[@alwinrayle245]

Very nice build, Also a solo player at this point. I thing a good clan size would be about 10 solo leaning players.

[@mrobertmacal]

Very nice video

[@DawnChatman]

What an amazing build. I chose a spot with too many trees on the edge of my plots, the foliage of which pokes through my second & third floors. Oops. Nixt wipe I'll find a more open spot. Where the heck are those torches you built?

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

Thank you! They are built in the founders' table

[@MascisMan1]

Great videos! How do you do the flyover camera?

[@bovineox1111]

F7 but I’ve not tried it yet

[@Perigrine85]

I been on it for 3 days and I still dont know how to make stone walls or pillars Also the wooden railings when do those come into play?... Its driving me crazy lol.... Took a full 10 hours to even find some clay half way across my map. But the update has fixed that issue. I been building a sort of multi story inn across from the lake where everyone builds there stuff. But I also been solo. I been focused on carpentry and black smithing as well. But still dont know how to do some of the things you got All in all its a great and complete look you got going on there love it thank you for sharing

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

What level are you currently at in carpentry?

[@Perigrine85]

@@thewildernessstudio4371 Some where between 15 and 20 Kinda slowed down because now I am having trouble finding heart wood. Even the first trees I cut down to get it wont drop it again. The castle walls and pillars suddenly appeared in my build list last night so I tore everything down and starting from scratch. The appeared after I set down some wedge base foundations.

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@Perigrine85 once you unlock the wrought-iron chopping axe you will be able to cut down the large oaks and then you'll get 50 or more heartwood from them

[@Valicyn]

I think its going to be a great game. They are quick to put out patches and fix bugs. But it is def not a solo game.

[@gregorygreen1445]

Way cool castle, now we just need dragon riding.....

[@sandi-ne1hi]

how does building work is it anything like enshrouded building?

[@Ash_Hudson]

I haven't played this game yet, but one thing I don't like that I've noticed on a lot of the stone tower builds is the long, narrow windows or doorways. What's that about? Is that a design choice everyone is going for, or is it a flaw in the building system?

[@BzraHax]

PRAISE CHAD!

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

Overlapping foundations in this game doesn't cause any form of z fighting of textures?

[@marshllogaming9705]

do you live stream the game?

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

I don't but if I have enough people interested in watching me live steam would like to try.

[@domeniconeri]

Hi, how did you do the aerial shots?

[@userfaulty]

F7 switches to an aerial camera

[@dime628]

Do you have an actual portcullis for your gatehouse? I cant find the blueprint.

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@dime628 I actually just used the founders pillars and free placed them in the gate wall to look like a portcullis

[@Blubberandy]

its so beautiful, i love building castles in such games. how long does it take to farm all of that for a brand new player?

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@Blubberandy thank you! It was 70 hours total from a fresh start. So that includes gathering, leveling up crafting and building.

[@Blubberandy]

@@thewildernessstudio4371 im really hyped for the game. Sorry to bother, but is there any griefing in the game? can other players detroy my castle?

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@Blubberandy yeah for me it's been really enjoyable! No there is no griefing in the game in the home valleys where you build.

[@johnharris3335]

Do bases decay in this game? How long could you be away for before base is gone?

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@johnharris5975 as far as I know there is no base decay on your plot. If you release your plot and move then buildings decay

[@WeeZachaeusGames]

I see you are a Christian. I have been playing this game a lot and am in love with it. Just curious to see if you have a clan or would consider starting one.

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

@WeeZachaeusGames yes my faith in Jesus is the most important thing to me. And also yes I'm planning on starting a clan at some point and I'll probably have info on that in one of my videos.

[@dorak_22]

I’m on the fence about this one….i need a nudge 😂

[@jrgenpetterson1562]

How is this only 3 plots? Im using 5 (including my spouse's 1 plot), exploiting all of them, and yet your base seem bigger

[@GTRSLNGR1]

[@GTRSLNGR1]

Im also in Trecassis (East US). What are you near? Would love to stop by and check out the base

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

Question - this being Early access, I heard they are going to wipe the world occasionally - do you know if they will also reset character progress?

[@CrackCatWantsPat]

Most likely everything will be reset before the full release that is a year from now

[@wandererbard8993]

You need a garden and another animal pen or two for food.

Also good practice for full game. WHEN THEY DO.

[@FunFactFreaks]

Well. There is 70 hours of your life you will never get back. You do realize this is all going to be wiped on release?

[@thewildernessstudio4371]

I'm an artist, I've had 70 hours or more on a clay sculpture that never made it to the finished casting process. A wipe doesn't scare me at all.

[@bovineox1111]

You could basically say that about any game or any pursuit. 70 hrs he had having a bunch of fun being creative.

[@DawnChatman]

Don't ever play RUST. Your base will be wiped a minimum of once a month. People still love building bases.

[@trevors7905]

How many hours in your life have you ever gotten back? I'm really curious.

[@FunFactFreaks]

@@trevors7905 It's not about getting time back, its about how you spend the time you have. Spending time on a virtual building in a game that is going to be wiped is just absurd. If the game was in a persistent state where your effort was retained maybe that time could be justified
