Whats your favorite Building block style?

[Tanzy]

Title says it all...
Ive been liking well block for mass produced main building material.... With Iron walls around the Stone doors. I love the look of Bronze blocks too. I have a few of em around as foundations to accent my floors around doorways.

My very 1st base (besides rough wood) was the mycilium stone blocks with copper doors. I liked that look too.

The 3rd stone tier I think. The ones that use limestone. But it really depends what I'm building. Palm wood blocks are also gorgeous.

i love the look of palmwood blocks too! i have a few floors made out of the stuff. Its not too bad of a grind to make all of a base palm wood too.

I've settled on Regular Stone blocks for my house and structures. It's a clean white stone and I really like the look especially when paired with the... fancy door? Oiled door? I think the third door you unlock, it has stone trim, looks really nice.

Being that I rebuilt a town for my base... I just use the free blocks that are underground to build with. Not had to craft 1 block, and I have about 70k excess of them

Rough Flintstone. hah
Still working on it. Building in the back not done yet.

Highly polished stone blocks.

Very nice and clean look. Has interesting little details, like sculpted bands on walls. Floors are two color marble diamond pattern tiles. Light with orangey streaks, and darker grey with streaks. I'm building a small castled entirely out of this. Stone doors on the front, surrounded by doorframe made from brass blocks. The stone doors have brass fittings so it ties in with the doorframe.

Regular stone blocks for everything else. They just have a nice clean basic look.

Npc's will have themed buildings around the castle. The carpenters shop is being made entirely out of wood. whole thing. Blacksmith is stone with metal trussing/supports. I keep trying to build the farmer a tavern out of sandstone and limestone blocks... but it just looks too alien compared to everything else. I keep ripping it down.

Depends. I'm really ambivalent.

The Rough Flintstone looks pretty nice overall. It's got a variety colours in the stone and the natural stone was pretty easy on the eyes. The Rough Sandstone was very similar in appearance, but has more of a sandy or desert feeling.

The Castle Block has a really nice stone look with some mossy hints here and there. It's probably my favourite for the stone styles used for stone castle buildings. The Desert City blocks on the other hand have this white stone castle vibe. Both can be used for fantasy like castles and look gorgeous.

The Desert Temple Block was flawless though. The window openings and corners actually look spot on when building. Anything made with them doesn't look rundown like some of the other buildings. It's got a sultan palace thing going on.

The variety of wooden blocks are both hit or miss for me. I really don't like how all the corners have wooden pieces sticking out, like an amateur carpenter built the thing. Using ether Shroud Wood Block or Refined Wood Block for flooring looks nice. As long as there are stone blocks to hide those wooden protrusions, the walls would look pretty nice.

Love the walls of the Fancy Stone Block, but hate how the floor looks. Using the refined wood blocks, Half-Timer Blocks, or Shroud Wood Blocks for flooring looks much nicer overall. For something that's called Fancy, the floor sure looks dirty and grungy.

Theres a cave on the southern part of map, by the Flame shrine of Manathor... If you plop a shrine on the center of the arch'd walkway in the tunnel's main room, and then upgrade it all the way, the boundaries fit just right to place a door at each opening of the cave. Then you have whole interior to play with... Ive been filling the entire thing with Well-block floors. The interior doors are all framed in bronze and iron. The main chamber has a big basement area under the main floor placed around altar. Its a great spot. Grinding out foundations for a 160x160x160 sized base is rough... but its coming along.

Well Blocks are pretty easy to make though, as they only require sandstone and shroud liquid to make. Jump over to the desert and farm sandstone, then jump over to the newbie shroud area and run around collecting shroud liquid from those mushroom like thingies.

I use the City Wall blocks for my mountain base. Have to experiment a bit with the desert blocks (sandstone, limestone).
All in all the amount of different styles is amazing. And we'Re only 40% into the game

Regular stone isn't my favorite, but I have to admit, that it's the best looking stone I've seen in a survival game. They honestly did a really good job planning out the look of things. I can't wait to see down the road what more kinds we get as we get more biomes and block types.

thats why im using well block. easy to build bigger. The mushrooms that grow in clusters of long white stalks with a dark cap on em, i can take the axe to em and get like 4-8 per tree.
Its funny, because sometimes they like to clip into ground so I cant loot them... but if i come back later, each mushroom node pops in same spot, and ill have a bunch of liquids laying around before even cutting it again.

I was so proud of my builds for once and you just crushed my soul. These look so good!
