Hi all Well, this game sure inspires building... I'm loving it! My very first attempt is a wooden house inspired by viking longhouses - half buried in the ground for insulation And my first big obstacle was the finishing on top of the roof. I couldn't really find something that would fit what I had in my mind, so I am grateful for free placing things - that is an amazing feature But, like all other times I've thrown myself into projects, it turned out to take a little more work than anticipated So... it will probably be a little while before I free place some 200 poles again

Very nice! I really like how you have two different roofs

- It would have taken him/her a whole lot of time to destroy all that! - You can... it just takes a loooooot of hits... 120 hits per stone block with a war axe to be exact (and yes, I counted To see if there was a difference between the iron axe and the war axe - and there is... 30 hits IIRC )

Are you talking about this one?

I absolutely agree with the zooming. It does seem a bit ridiculous to be standing with the map in your hand and then when you look at it you can't see the whole thing... I suppose if others looked at my character at that point, I would just stand with my face completely buried in the map

I would guess that the right answer is 1111? For A: XXII is 22 II is 2 22 / 2 = 11 For B: CC is 200 XCIC is 99 200 - 99 = 101 So A x B = 11 x 101 = 1111 or maybe in roman numerals MCXI?

Oh yes yes... The tape station and Turbo Load (made me feel like such a hacker that I knew that haha ). I also played hours and hours of Boulder Dash on the C64... After that we got an Amiga 500 with floppy disk ... oh, the times of patience and bad gfx

I guess that is what I have been doing with H and mousemovent - that also rotates and flips in all directions Looking forward to see your creations

Oh then it's probably not the same. G gives you the option to move the piece one place to each side with mouse movement on the axis you're on (switch axis with RMB). It's a little sensitive to my mouse movement but once you get a hang of it, it is really really helpful

Not sure about the axe/saw thing - I just know that it's quicker to saw down A tall oak tree yields 16 logs when it's fully grown - no matter the size on your screen (some do look bigger than others, I think that's just random and to give variation). When it is fully grown it is labeled Tall Oak Tree - up until that point it will be called "Young Tall Oak" - so that is how you can see if they're fully grown and ready to give the maximum amount. So far it doesn't matter how close I place them. I haven't tried planting them right on top of each other so I wouldn't know about that, but I've had mine very very close together with no issues at all (except of course all the floating debris from landing in the surrounding trees ). I guess J, K and L do the same thing as I accomplish with G and then changing axis with RMB? And yes, that is a builder's best friend

I also had another weird ship glitch yesterday - and it's probably related to the whole 1st person on ship issue. But I ran my ship aground getting too close to an yland (whooops ) and I jumped into the water to dig out and make a trench to be able to sail on. I went into 1st person to be able to hit the right places (which is almost impossible because you can't see much under water anyways) and it then glitched me right through the ship hull until I was standing on the deck again. This happened several times, trying to get the ship free again

I tried with logs first but they were just too big - and especially the endings of them alongside the roof, I couldn't get to look decent. So instead I went for the poles which gave the same effect when I placed them pretty close together. I did space them out a bit more at first but then it just looked random and weird because they are so thin Thanks for your kind words - and all suggestions are always more than welcome!! Still learning which materials to use for what

You can use the console command "unstuck". Just press Enter and type /unstuck 2 (2 will spawn you on the nearest ground spot). Otherwise you can just type /unstuck and see the options

Yeah it has been a lot of work so far And thanks for your kind words It is just called wooden roof. There are two different types of these triangular roof blocks - one has a little structure and the other is this one with more structure. Maybe you need the saw to make them - not sure... they just popped up in my crafting at some point? I did the terraforming first, yes. Digging with a spade and flattening with a shovel About the deforestation, I have a line of Tall Oak Trees around 2/3 of the base, and whenever I cut one down I make sure to plant a new one so that I always have a supply of wood right next to me, and the Tall trees yield twice as much as the regular ones so that makes it a lot easier

Aight so interior is almost done. Still need a little more stuff for the kitchen but I need to go exploring some more to find that So here's the house from the outside - with some of the surrounding hills. The whole camp is in a small valley completely surrounded by hills on all sides Close up of the entrance More details on the entrance Living room area I had some trouble figuring out how to make the big couch that I wanted. But eventually figured out that if I used log stools for "legs" they would also make it possible to sit down on the couch. The sitting area is made with free placed planks Dining area and kitchen in the back Kitchen - which still needs some touches here and there. Under the kitchen table are sacks - to fill in the space and to use for storage (which you can never get too much of in this game ) Behind the walls is a storage pantry This is still quite empty. I plan on filling up the shelves with things that I find on my future explorations Upstairs is the sleeping area Couch area with fire place (and when I feel like it I will change the back in the fireplace with stone... not too safe with a wooden background there ) Crafting area. Just a little open structure (and yes, with a bed - I've been sleeping there while building the main house )

Thank you so much Interior is still empty... Spent so much time on those damned poles that I needed to take a break Will get back with picture when it's decorated

I have capsized my ship multiple times - extinguishing my stove every time - by going into first person mode

Ha... you guys have nothing on me when it comes to being old My very first game ever played was Pong on a console connected directly to the tv... and the console could play only.... Pong Some years after that we got our first computer - a C64 with tape station where my most played game was Bruce Lee

Hello all I have made a little house where I have to walk down a couple of stairs to get in. I can't walk through the door when I'm in first person view but I have no problems with it when I'm in 3rd person view. 3rd person view where I can walk through with no problems at all And 1st person view where I get stuck in the doorway

You can destroy all items of the same kind by holding control when clicking "Destroy" and then choose the amount - like when dropping But I completely agree with the stacking - especially to storage when there's already the same item in storage. Inventory management is such a major issue in this game so anything that can help with this is greatly appreciated

I absolutely love the game. In a game of this type, I usually start out by building since that's my thing I have noticed that I rarely need the "move up" and "move down" buttons (Q and Z) because the main problem for me with placing building blocks next to each other is usually on another axis - to me it is very, very often a struggle to place it right next to the block I just placed, so it would be a whole lot easier if there was a "move one backwards" or "move one forwards" - just like the up and down but on another axis. I am currently building with the plank blocks, and like I wrote somewhere else there must be an error in the cost for these. They cost the same but one is a 1x1x1 cube and the other is a 2x2x2 cube. When building a larger building it would be nice to also have a 2x2x1 cube - or perhaps like a panel (4x4x1). Do you have any idea how long it takes to build a house with 1x1x1 cubes (and how expensive it is in planks.... and repair kits ). The 2x2x2 also has the amazing feature that there's a slight difference in the color of the two layers so it ends up giving it a little depth and looks amazing. You can't achieve the same effect with the 1x1x1 block which is a shame when you're using it for a wall that you don't want to be 2 blocks deep

No, but I figured it out with G and mouse movement Nevermind me then

There are two plank blocks in the game. One is a 1x1x1 the other is a 2x2x2 - but they cost the same. 5 planks for a 1x1x1 block seems a bit much - it will cost a ton of planks to build a house with those ;P

Maybe that is what I've been experiencing also. I find it extremely difficult to build on my ship in first person mode - I have capsized multiple times when building in first person mode

Hi @Ane I'd like to help with the translation to Danish :-) I'm already translator and proofreader on ARK, so quite experienced with translating ;-)
