Building a Wall on uneven ground

[JamieLee2k]

So I am building a wall but my foundations are all over the place as the place where I built my base is on an uneven ground, So far I have a number of places where there are a few places where there are foundations higher and it looks horrible, How do I make the wall look decent on uneven ground?

Don't use foundations.

Use Pillars, ceilings and walls.

Place a pillar at the highest point, then reach out as far as you can with ceiling tiles. Then drop pillars from the end tile till you reach the ground.

If its a drop of several pillars than run several layers of ceilings between the pillars, going into the uneven surface the best you can. Once you have gone that you can add the walls.

I start by making a honey comb effect in the wall by placing wall tiles inside the wall at 90 degrees to the outer face. Once you have done this add walls to the outer and inner sides. so you are basically building lots of tiny boxes.

If you are going to make the wall several tiles thick, make sure the pillars are on the inside tile, so they are hard to hit and destroy.

You can also add roof tiles, using the same process. But instead you make a row of NNNNNN as you look at it. Reaching from bottom ceiling to upper ceiling tiles, with a wall at both ends.

Its a lot more work than a pure foundation wall, but it is a lot stronger, and looks better. Also its a good way to protect from the purge.....for now!

With this wall if someone attacks they will only make a hole, rather than take out the whole wall like a foundation wall.

Thanks this is a great idea and seems to be working ok apart from the odd time something wont snap but I think this is the game that is bugged cus after some time it works fine

If a tile doesn't snap right away. Simply change to a different tile and switch back to the one you want to use. :)

I have finally did it, problem is its still not snapping properly, I also did a weird shape and from start to finish it never lined up, I had to put pillars to fill the gap

Presume you was using triangles and square tiles? I normally make a feature, where two ends of a funny shaped wall don't meet like build a little tower/Building on the gap. With both ends of the wall inside it. If you build the tower like the wall, twin skinned. You won't even see the ends of the wall, as they will be concealed inside the building walls.
