Any building tips

[brabus1986]

building in this game sucks there's never a place big and flat enough to build anything always having terrain height issues

so it was my idea to make a base using pillars just off shore ocean is flat so in theory i should be able to build what i want

my question is what can fort walls snap to?

ceilings are a no so are foundations game just says must be placed on floor or bound

TLDR: Building is terrible, resources are often wasted, you need creative problem solving to find work arounds when building.

I agree, building in this game is terrible. Fort walls only snap to each other and nothing snaps to them. And most the time even when fort walls snap to each other, it says "building construction blocked" so you can't place them anyway. When it comes to building on slopes, it takes a lot of time and creative problem solving to find workarounds. The worst part is that in the process, you have to test things and if you need to destroy anything (which is often) you don't get the resources back. The stone fort walls use A LOT of resources and when you don't get them back, it is horrible.

I'm in the process of building a stone fort within a 105m circumference and it's full of slopes. Best thing I can suggest is to lay the initial foundations on the highest point, then ceilings off those with pillars to support, to create a flat 'floor'. You can then place the stone fort walls on the outside to cover the gap between the ceilings (floor) and the actual terrain. Only thing to bare in mind is that the ceilings (floor) will at some points be taller than your outer fort wall. You can place those ceilings (floor) one height level down and create stairs, however that will prevent you creating the flat floor you want.

Yes Really hoping the work on the Benches, ether a Longer Recycle Timer like 1 minute on benches, or something I built my DLC forge into my wall it let me tuck in to deep, the other benches will not let you that was a 2 hour craft. like WolfPG said above is best advice and Flat ground IKR, so hard to find for q game that you build a Empire, that Lake in the jungle area has a good flat area and the starting fields
