Custom building blueprints?

[nickizz]

I find it rather time consuming to build houses etc. I would like to see an option to create a blueprint for a building (in a more block based simple 2d interface). When the blueprint is created it would be possible to build it all at once on the map with the construction hammer. These kind of blueprints would also open up for community shared structures. For example, let's assume I build a really cool tower, but want to have four of them. If we had a blueprint mechanic I could make my blueprint and then place the towers quick instead of spending the whole day getting it right for each individual tower.

It's always nice to have options. I can't be the only one thinking about this.

Yeah, this would never happen. This is a game that literally focuses on building as a whole. The construction hammer already saves a boatload of time with the options currently given. It cuts down on building time by an astronomical amount comparatively than by doing it block by block like early games in this genre.

sorry, its not factorio. these games borderline never let you copy and paste a build. ive definitely wished for it before(i have to move a chicken coop in valheim that i REALLY dont wana re-build by hand), and i get what you mean, but i wouldnt hold my breath expecting it, yanno? the snapping and stuff in this isnt bad, and if you swap between building menus you can do stuff like cut out your own windows instead of using "wall with a window" piece, ive built a few different house, and a crafting area for the npcs. really i understand your struggle, but i wouldnt hold onto this expectation, its not something this type of game does. again though, if you like slamming down a masssive blueprint and watching it get made... factorio. get construction bots and blueprint away.

I agree with having custom Blueprints of builds you made, or ones in world, to have for rebuilding them.

Regardless of the masses who out right "hate" the idea that'll ruin their precious game.

Mod for the blueprints in Valheim - Plan Build - at Thunderstore

If this game gets modding tools we can look forward to all kinds of world customisation,

good thing you can essentially just build a brick and live in it. i personally like building and have made quite an epic base using the voxel manipulation tools

Just take over an existing structure if its time consuming for you. I like to build and still took one over just to restore everything.

this is actually a great idea. I like the idea of taking a cool ruined structure and restoring it. There are some good spots to do so as well.

You should put in a feature request: https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/

I thought about that too - but in the end its an awful idea - building is a big part of the game - by allowing that you would just make a big part of the game pointless.

But i would be for some more options to build to make it easier - for example more forms - maybe even custom forms or beeing able to copy paste a recently created part with max xy parts etc.

I wonder how long it would take if they add this until people complain about not enough content. And as someone already said its possible to take over already existing buildings.

Thanks. Looks like someone beat me to it lol

+1 for blueprints

I would love this feature. I want to go crazy and built a fancy base with lots of detail, but that requires many hours. I want a way to save my creation and built it again in a new game. Then add to it and save it again as a new blueprint.

I don't think this ruins the game at all. You still need the resources to built it, so as you walk close to a part that's not yet built after placing the blueprint, it will take resources from your inventory and fill it in.

Most importantly let people play how they want.

Many people don't have tons of time to build the best buildings only to have to do it again when starting a new game etc.

If you don't like blueprints, don't use them, for the rest of us, we really would love them.

This is not an MMO.

Please add blueprints.
