I think you would be really good at just build tutorial videos, it was really relaxing to watch and I learned stuff.

[@pseudoposse]

@@TheJanemba999 Thanks I appreciate that! Currently working on a build as we speak for over the weekend :)

[@krissuergames5167]

Such an amazing building system for an early acces. I spent about the 5-6 first hours to do barely nothing rather than awake the smith and then building and rebuilding my first base. With those tips of yours i might be spending the next couple hours just building again lol

[@pseudoposse]

Haha I'm happy to be such a sort of inspiration! I myself have been very guilty of building my humble corner of the world rather than save it 😆

[@Lucpol1986]

Spent the first 10 building mine…😅. I also utilize the scaff, for RP purposes.

[@pseudoposse]

@@Lucpol1986 I can appreciate the RP aspect but I just want to build as fast as possible lol. If They ever add diminishing returns for removing a block, I would probably consider using it at that point.

[@zSKW1GGLEZz]

For real best building system i have come across.

[@HH-hd7nd]

I did that as well. I build an entire village - each of the NPCs as well as my character have their own house. I also built a warehouse and a town hall. Adds a nice touch to the base when it is not just one huge structure but gives that settlement village feeling.

[@taylorwhite2751]

I absolutely love this game that chill music playing while building is such a vibe. One of my favorite games in a long time. The devs did a hell of a job.

[@pseudoposse]

They really did a phenomenal job with the build system and the overall atmosphere. They can obviously improve some aspects during EA but it is a very good start!

[@jimmygrahn]

Started up Enshrouded yesterday, just had time to make a simple house and meet up with a friendly companion. Seeing this I really want to go home from work and start building! Seems like there is loads of possibilites when it comes to building and I love it. Thanks for the tips!

[@pseudoposse]

Glad to spread the building bug! Building in Enshrouded has definitely been a blast. Go forth and enjoy!

[@craigb.4737]

Exactly what I was looking for in a Beginner Guide.

[@drakila5851]

I have to say, the edited overlay highlighting the part of the build you are talking about are a touch of refinement I am not used to in these kinds of building tips videos. They helped understand what you mean immensely!

My wife does the editing and she likes to include a lot of fine details in these types of videos. It makes her very happy you appreciate the fine touches!

[@unknownuser3000]

This is the part of the game that I'm never good at, all my houses are so basic but you gave a great tutorial and explanation for the building I haven't seen anywhere else. Great video.

[@pseudoposse]

That means a lot to hear! Very glad you got something useful out of it :)

[@arkilos2253]

depends on what you are going for, if you want a more historical accurate build that any European commoner would have lived, the simpler structure is the way to go, as a laymen wouldn't afford the time or funds to be decorative in more than a small trinkets. Ultimately it is up to you what kind style you want to go for, and what materials you want to use to achieve that style.

[@Fynach]

Simultaneously experiencing...''WOW, you can do That... So THAT's what that's for...and AAagggggh!! I'll have to start again!!'' :) Great Video! Thank You!

[@Bloodrazor14]

This game has a lot to offer right off the bat. I know certain players like to "achieve" a home base before venturing out into this vast world. The build you offer is a great example for a starter build that leaves a player open for their creativity. When I started I only used two types of material blocks but I see here within probably the first hour you had SIX. Keep up the awesome work.

[@pseudoposse]

Will do! I really appreciate the compliment :) A little exploration can go a long way for finding new things. It is pretty nice you can have a good variety of materials at the start.

[@davidhuang8406]

Yeah mycelium is probably not for everyone but I like the rugged look. Sounds like a really great build you got going there, glad I could help!

​@@pseudoposse I began using it for a basement/crypt. I plan on growing shrooms in there, its below the gazebo for the farmer. I did a bit of a gradient in the wall by using that single block trick you showed in the video. Time consuming but I am happy the way its starting to look.

The 1m section has a sloped shape which will let you add/remove roof parts much in the same was as the cube for regular walls and floors. Y key will undo the last few build actions, really useful when fiddling with details or trying to get a roof sitting right

If you want flowerbed ground you can get it from the farm west of the first spire. go up to the chirch yard. it is the grassy ground with flowers. not all ground is dirt :) mix that with the cool buildings :)

[@pseudoposse]

For sure! I've grabbed some of the flower dirt already though I haven't used it yet :)

[@clanpsi]

I don't understand how to did the alter thing. How do you raise and lower foundations? Where did the massive 4x4 pit go that the alter creates?

[@pseudoposse]

If you take snap off (press x) you can aim up to make the foundation higher. Then connect your new altar to that foundation. The pit is created when the 4x4 foundation is removed but filled in with new foundation pieces :) Of course you can always fill it in with dirt as well!

[@clanpsi]

@@pseudoposse Thanks!

[@Maskinbajs]

[@MetalHev]

I like how the system just lets you build mostly anywhere, so I slapped my base on the first bridge

[@BeardedFreak85]

i want to do something exactly like this but will add a big ass chimney on the center back wall connected between the first and second floor and going out on the roof :D

[@pseudoposse]

That would be an excellent addition!

[@screaminsilence81]

when placing the stepped walls does it not annoy you that they pertrude the roof? ive been trying to place them so that it doesnt happen but i cant get it right ...

[@pseudoposse]

Yeah, either there is a small gap between the wall and the roof, or you have that protrusion. I usually choose the former option as the gap isn't so bad. Basically shift the stepped wall over 1 block away from the sloped roof.

[@Peedy]

Great guide!

[@pseudoposse]

Glad you think so!

[@mazestitching5182]

You can get Flintstone also at the destroyed brigde. There are tents on the right side and behind them is a hill with flintstone. Honey you shouldn´t eat early on, since its used in the big Healing potions recipe. Gather honey as soon as possible and stash it away. Another tip: its not building releated but if you later need salt. You can find that on the right side of the Starter Miasma. Easy to glide to right from base spot.

[@pseudoposse]

Thanks for sharing all the tips with everyone! Yeah there is the flint mine across the bridge and also an area a bit west up the hill. Honey is pretty easy to get out in the world. I've actually located my next home around 6 honey that I can easily get and just generally pick it up every time I wander around the world.

what gets removed from the building area when removing the flame altar?

[@thatthotho]

[@Draco1953]

HOW do you delete an altar? Got two altars too close together.. any advice.. please.. thanks.

[@pseudoposse]

Go to the altar, and click on "Extinguish Flame". A red "Extinguish Flame" button will appear, click that and a 30 second timer will start. During the 30 seconds, you have the choice to cancel the action. Once the timer is up, the altar is removed.

[@Draco1953]

@@pseudoposse thank you.. much appreciated.. enjoy your game.

[@sp4z1221]

So if I delete my level 2 altar do I still get it back ?

[@pseudoposse]

Unfortunately you don't get it back. Luckily, shroud cores are craftable so losing a single one isn't so bad. A higher level altar would definitely be more painful to replace. Which is why I'd get it into the exact position right at the start.
