Finished Death Sphere + Download

[EpicMark98]

I finally finished the interior of my Death Sphere (name changed to avoid legal trouble)! I put it into a small world by itself that you can download here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YBQqXmOG-rINiZq8kRQ3tQELwCR3OUDO

Extract the zipped folder to C:\Users\<Insert Username>\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGOWorlds\SAVEDGAMES\CONTENT and hopefully the world will appear on the galaxy map.

I am not 100% satisfied with the finished look but it's the best I could do. Enjoy!

I thought I knew a thing or two about giant spheres, but this is a scale in a league of its own.
Screenshots can't do it justice, has to be seen in game. About a 160 cm diameter, you could fit several children in there and call it the Death Star daycare.

Good sphere building style, suits well with the subject matter, has a more artificial industrial vibe than many alternatives.

One technical question, on the right side edge of the laser dish I'm seeing single brick wide columns of slopes turn to 2x slopes. Was that intentional or are slopes still behaving badly in very large quantities? if it's the latter it's caused by glitched cells, you can purge them by making a copy and continuing to build there.

Thanks. I actually wanted to make it bigger, but it barely fits in the copy box as is.
I didn't really know how to do the dish, so I cut into the hull with the sphere landscape tool and used 1x1 bricks to fill it in. There should be slopes matching the hull around the edge but if there are any in the dish, it's a glitch.
I'll take a better look when I get the chance.

I wish I had spend more time creating the basic quarter circle shape; as a result, the wedge is not symetrical and the seam down the middle is crooked.

Hymn, you are completely right, that was unintentional behavior that I did not notice. It should look like this:

The issue tends to manifest itself while building or editing in the proximity of a problem area. I assume you built the interior walls after the exterior? that would explain why you didn't catch the slopes change.

I finally completed the interior of the Death Star and have edited the original post with screenshots and a new download link.

Looks very cool, really impressive what you did with the interior, making great use of the massive spaces.

Keep in mind that Death Star is a trademark. Creating a construction that looks like it with sufficient deviations to make it unique is within fair use but giving it the trademark name is trouble if you want to do something with it beyond private use.

How about Doom Satellite, Demolition Sphere, Hollow Moon Station.

Not a bad idea, but I don't think Disney/Lucasfilm will go to the trouble to bring a lawsuit against me. I'll change it to Death Sphere, just to be safe.

Oh I agree, I don't think you'd have to worry about anything like that. But I saw you submitted it to the Build of the Week thread and that would elevate it beyond purely private use because TT Games are publishing the video and since they don't have the Star Wars license for this particular context the trademark would have to be stripped, not just for legalities but to avoid confusion.

Renaming it may potentially avoid that barrier but I'm no lawyer and only speculating. Good new name.

Anyway absolutely fantastic build. Whenever people ask for licensed content in LEGO Worlds, my first response is to suggest they make use of the freedom the game offers and building some of it themselves if it's really on the top of their wishlist. Great each time I see people do that with fantastic results.

Remember there were LEGO Millennium Falcons long before there were any official LEGO Millennium Falcon sets :)

How do I get this to my worlds? Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on this? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to paste it into, is all.
Sorry to be a pain.

I believe you just extract the zipped folder to the content folder as specified above. I originally made a typo in the file path so that could be why you're having trouble.
