I love how every time i set out to build something in this game, this is what i have in mind but always end up with a box with a roof

[@da_blade5040]

hahahaha I Agree!!

[@Bjarki2330]

Hahaha same man

[@nicholaspickolas-]

Except my roof doesn't even line up lol

[@Starkiller21Nikki]

[@AxialisPsychopathy]

Exactly

[@ClippyChop]

What blows my mind the most is that I can’t figure out why I never thought to actually frame it like properly building a house. It just makes so much sense

[@mike5177]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

It seems necessary in this game, and I think it makes visualizing the finished thing a bit easier.

[@ArtiimusPlays]

Right.. my brain when I saw this video Me: oh... Well I just use.... Walls... But I see how smart you are, and accept my ignorance good sir.

[@locknload6193]

Dont feel bad I framed houses for 7 years and learned the hard way as well lol

[@teddy5004]

I usually do an exterior shell but I've never tried a full foundation... Now I'm honestly curious... Usually my buildings arent that big though so I doubt it's worth it, usually I just build a small circle hut and that's plenty.

i honestly dont know whats more impressive, the build and soothing music that almost forces you to pay attention, or the fact that they do all the build and then for the final showcase its always fully furnished to perfection.

I learned a bunch of useful tricks from this one. Clipping the smelter and kiln so they fit is genius. Using horizontal core logs to align regular wood to make the double railings. So clever. Keep it up guys.

Absolutely love your building/architecture. Very ingenious, well thought-out. I can't upload my modified version of your design but I substituted the wood panels used in the large A frames with glass blocks. The glass blocks retain the view of the landscape on both sides which is the whole point here. I injected/subbed out the lower panels with core wood here and there. Awesome design man. Thanks!

@@ContentChaser There is also a trick that every time to place a piece the game has to calculate the stability of a structure. If you can place things down very fast you can get them to stay up before the game recalculates the stability.

Another awesome build. I didn't think I'd like the idea, but I grew to like the more functional idea of this one as everyone can relate to this house being that we are all crafters or Blacksmith's in a way. So reasons to love this build even more. I liked how you ended up carving out a basement which was awesome. I kinda wish though you showed a before and after of it so it could be seen what you did with the basement as it would look like just another unrecognized room if you weren't aware. What I've learned from you most is "framing" from all these videos. The decore is more individual creativity.
