its a shame the building isnt free mode

[Yogi]

rather build my own homes and such from scratch instead of pre made ones anyone else feel the same?
but game looks fun
hopefully this is good :)

[Retro]

yeah that is the only thing I don't like about this game i was hoping they'd take a bit from SONG of SYX where you can still build free and you also had pre-made it was a good fusion of both worlds.

[ArakawaNoRyu]

What? its premade buildings? :c

[Buntkreuz]

From the Trailer i assumed its a mix, like a smith or stables are premade buildings, but homes, castles, temples and such are selfmade.

But this game looks like its sitting between Rimworld and Songs of Syx in terms of scale. So it makes sense to a degree.
I like Songs of Syx but wished it would make some things a bit easier in terms of building stuff and expanding.

So, maybe this is the best of both worlds. Lets see.

Does it get workshop support down the road? Perhaps that will help a little bit. Some games do have a mix between also, like a smith always looks the same but you can build upgrades around it.

[GnomeSlayer]

Can you explain more? I am trying to understand

So ive read a bit about it. It will go early access today and Workshop support aka Modding Support will come with 1.0.
Yes it will come, but its basically the last thing they add.

Honestly, not a big fan, it sounds fun at first but sometimes it's a chore, I mean, this is why I wrote this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1287530/discussions/0/6597293990960786010/

I also got tired of it very quickly in SoS, it was interesting for your first buildings, but when you're just trying to make your 10th giant workshop it's a pain in the ass, building a new layout for every new tech, and every new building is also a pain in the ass.

It works for Rimworld because we don't need whole buildings with different furnitures & benches to work, one bench does it all, so you can place anywhere and it will work, but buildings like forges, requiring anvils, heat sources, tables, etc... Are a pain in the ass.

so anyone not understanding
by free build i mean placing each block and each roof to make you own style of buildings
this seems to have pre made buildings you place

Basically that.
However, for some key buildings i like that.
Like building your own Townhall, a Temple/Church or sometimes even a farm but especially Taverns.
Less so for the 40th living quarter or the 10th kitchen or the 100th storage.

I personally hope, that some of these key buildings (Townhall and such) receive at least some customizations.
Like, let me create it in a modular way so the shape is different or let me place rooms in my individual way and then maybe customize the interior a bit (what colours etc.).

That would be fun enough without having me to place every piece of wall individually.
But for example let me decide how a house is generally organized and shaped and maybe let me fuse houses together.

[E↗↗↗↗YA↗↘↗↘HA~~~]

damn I saw those youtuber all having the same layout I already thinking is it premade :(
I want to build my house like in rimworld

[Dean]

Damn, i thought i could build my own layout

[Buntkreuz]

I think then you guys might take a look at "Clanfolk".

Probably because Steam is spammed with about 10000 games a year and the search function is awful.

Eh, not every game has to have Rimworld's Dungeon Keeper- or Theme Hospital-style rooms with a total design focus on furniture.

This one is more like Tropico in that respect. The focus is on buildings instead as the minimum unit.

If Tropico can be deep, there's no reason a furniture-centric design is the only source of depth possible. Just a lot of saved dev time due to different priorities.
