Ideas for a Colony

[Skip Passover]

I'm thinking about becoming a future land baron and colonizing a lot of planets with apartments, farms, all the good stuff. I just don't know what to use for a building material. I'm going to line all of the rooms so the outside looks futuristic, but each interior room is gonna match the furniture. I just don't know what to build the outside out of. Man... That's a mouthful, lol.

Well, I'm not great at building but I have one tip. If your struggling with building a modern town, just build a Glitch one. Its easy, you just need some hay and wood. Also, Glitch villages are pretty common imo. Hope this helps.

Every idea is taken into consideration! So thank you very much.

Your welcome, also I love to look at other peoples builds on Youtube, they give a ton of inspiration. Also, downloading some furniture mods doesn't hurt.

I've always like playing vanilla, besides there's tons of different furniture in the galaxy already, anyway.

The frog guy sells different furniture each day. My favorite is the Saloon Set. (Because it generates Novakids.)

Yeah, I always wanted to have a bar in my hotel/colonies/apartments.

i really can't remember because it was the time that i was tired to wait the forge craft more glass... I think that is one of the smooth metal, maybe smooth plated.

Just an idea but, Maybe make your own floating islands for a colony and use rails to travel between the islands. Each island having some sort of theme or species on it. (crap i might have to do this now)

I stole materials from an apex outpost and made this colony http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=737284716
Still a work in progress but it is just a mix of wall panels, glass, concrete, and futuristic furniture

[Skip Passover]

You see, my idea was to make a big skyscraper, but the rooms big enough and identical in size. In each room has a certain wall to match the furniture, but the outside having a different material, sort of like apartments nowadays, ex: Outside is brick, indoor walls are drywall, I don't know, but I wanted each room to be unique. That's my plan, just don't know what to use for the exterior wall...

You might want to consider building biomes instead. Then you can fill each one with theme-specific houses and residents.

I don't know, I just thought it'd be cool and funny to have a Philanthropist in one room, a Spaceman in another, and so on.
