Rounded walls
So any chance of getting rounded walls. 1/4 circle walls. Would allow us to make towers more effectivly and if setup to allow snap points for fence foundations at the connection points between walls would work great. Items needed to make it work would include

1/4 round foundation
1/4 round roof
1/4 round wall
1/4 round window wall
1/4 round door wall
1/4 Round Trapdoor roof for ladders.

Can set to allow standard doors and windows to mount so not requireing new items for that. Using the format above would allow people to build towers into corners of buildings and walls. Giving vantage points for security and adding some flair to the buildings that is currently lacking.

any opinions ?

Yeah this would be nice, You would need a relatively large curve for the doorframe or split the door frame into two pieces along with the door, kind of like the dino gates. Regardless it is awesome idea, I want curved building villages! xD

For some reason reversing the curve pops into my head too. Not sure ehy, maybe make odd shaped or patterened buildings.

reversing the curve would be nice as well but you wouldnt need a seperate item for that. just be able to rotate these. If done on a 1/4 circle base that means a round room would technically be 2x2 square room bassically. So this would allow for plenty of space for doors and windows. and allow for usable space in the building its self.

i know that octagon building is not round but it is still better than nothing.

I know but I want something in the game formally on official servers. I dont like having to use mods for basic building as often times people stop updating them or they become incompatable meaning your grand structure comes tumbling down

love this idea, i'd also like to have triangular half foundations and ceilings so we can make hexagonal and octagonal buildings etc...

But it is not modded to my knowledge, just some creative thinking with fence foundations.

See Devs... you've created monsters :) You have builders he who want to build even more... the game isn't only about PVP stuff. I love this game.

good idea. the current walls could be made to snap into place on an angle foundation allowing them to not have to include new items for this but the roof and foundation. This would only require a edit to the current wall models to allow them to snap into place in the right situation.

Over all I want to keep this as simple as possible in regards to the game side as keeping things simple and effective allows the devs to easier implement it with out having to invest to much time in it. While it would be a simple addition to the game I think these things would make a LOT of people very happy

I would also like half high walls for the top of towers :)

even if not im talking about adding simple towers to Walls and corners of structures while a fence setup would work it would greatly limit what you could do in side of it. Requireing tons of colums and structual setups and additional items. Causing greater usage of server reasources and if you get carried away as I do like to do it can cause server lag. Which is not fair to others in the server you are on.

@OP, did you take my idea I posted on the Stairs mod discussion board? lol.. I posted this same thing only I said you could also have some size variations with a quarter wall thats 1x1 (so like you said a full circle would be 2x2), 2x2 quarter circle (so 4x4 total circle) and also 4x4 quarter circle (16x16 full circle)

Seems like it could be done with the present model if you took the wall and just bent it outward and then scaled it for the other sizes. (never messed with the 3D modeling tools before so no idea if that would work, but seems likely with my 2D photoshop expertise). Then just have a variant with a window in the center and a door in the center. Round quarter foundations and round quarter ceilings and there you have it!
