Competition Entry - Fyrtårnet

[hymn]

I built a lighthouse because when playing building games I noticed that it's a great feeling to spot a familiar landmark in the distance after getting lost on a long exploration trip. That landmark can be anything but I can only imagine the crew on a ship in the olden days had a similar experience when seeing a light after a rough time on sea so it makes sense to repurpose this symbolism.

Aside from that, it's of course a crucial element in the pirate's realm.

This is a cutaway of the tower showing the spiral staircase connecting to each floor :

The stairs can be easily maneuvered, the camera doesn't get stuck and the steps are wide enough to stop the character from grabbing onto the walls when running up, both did become an issue when I had handrails on the staircase and a lower step rise so I decided to go with this design instead, picking gameplay over aesthetics.

The bounding box measures 26x50x250 studs, credit goes to graph paper for making it fit.

I will probably upload the lxfml file once the update is released, the export function currently messes up the orientation of the End Ridged Tile 1X2/45°, I expect this to be fixed by then. If not I will release it as is, it's easy enough for anyone to fix of course but at the same time I expect some not to notice and the idea of having shoddy workmanship out there bothers me.

But now that I have your attention I would like to ask for your input on a dilemma, right now my downstair lights use the lava color because the yellow glow looks more natural and cozy than the bright fluorescent white but since I've noticed that jumping into even a single tile of lava causes an instant death, leaving it like that is unacceptable to me. The solution involves adding a non-lava bottom plate to the lights preventing the player from touching the lava bricks. So what looks better? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd

I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing problems with the End Ridged Tile pieces during the export process. I hope this is fixed in the update.

The solution to the End Ridged Tile problem could be to import in in a fresh Designer file, correct it and export it from there.

Lava looks better. I have used it for lighting, too, but as long as I didn't stand on it it didn't seem to kill?

Terrible news people.

Absolute disaster has struck, it's all destroyed. I have nothing left, not even a chair. I was always mindful of the dangers of a massive storm knocking down my tower so I built it specifically to withstand a hurricane, but nothing could have prepared me for this. It was out of this world and it had no mercy.

Let me tell you what happened, it was a sunny day and I was cleaning the curtains when I figured I could finish these chores much quicker with some extra strength, I recently encountered this tough lady in the jungle so I thought she might be perfect for the job. I switch characters to Dino Tracker Daisy and mere seconds later the entire building starts to shake, before I have a chance to look out the window bricks come tumbling down, I run outside just as behind me my lighthouse comes crashing down.

Fortunately I sent the lighthouse blueprints for safekeeping to the masterbuilders so we should soon be able to put down some new ones.

The ruins of the lighthouse were created with a peculiar bug I encountered recently:

Thanks everyone for the kind words, keep on building!
