How tall do you make your ceilings?

[A Flaccid G7]

Coming back after a looong break; and remembering how short the walls can be. How tall do you folks usually make your ceilings? I'm used to doing two walls tall per, but it tends to make my home look more like a shotgun house.

I also tend to build two high for with the exception of if i use the slanted roofing, then i find one high is enough by the time the pieces are connected. I've done the odd build incorporating the gate pieces as a main door, works well if your going for an open hall style not so good if you just want a house though, you'll have pretty tall buildings if you use those gates.

Also two high here, even with slanted ceiling pieces. I usually build a second floor that ends up being more of an attic. I use the bottom floor for crafting and the upper floor for a bedroom and sorcery. My first (starting) base is usually a 5x5 foundation.

Many of the newer tier 3 crafting benches require a 2 high ceiling. With one wall plus a slanted roof they can't be placed close to the wall. You don't need most of the T3 benches, but the Garrison Armorers Bench is a must.

I have a pagoda design that requires three high walls per story, but it looks better from the outside than inside.

I use two walls high in all of my builds. I found one wall was too short.

Usually a minimum of 2 walls high unless I have a really good reason not to do that and often 3+ high for some variety. Many buildings look better with more height and by using 2+ height you guarantee that you've got the vertical space you need for just about anything you might want to place inside.

To be honest I'm a bit of a random builder. Sometimes I'll decide on a tower or more standard style of building but usually I just start to throw something together and I often end up with some pretty random buildings. Sadly some of my best and favourite builds are gone due to server issues, decay timer issues/bugs, and the foundation bug from a while back.

Used to go 2 high, now I mostly go 1.5 with some building mods.

3 high for PvE, 1 high for wall condensed honeycomb PvP. A single room of 2 high for the new stations.

[annatar3]

Always 3 walls high.

My 2 save files have bases without roofs so far since I'm building super big and mostly have outer walls. I plan buildings with higher walls tho.

As high as you like.

This is a really old build i don't have anymore. It was a massive structure so many rooms, i even had one room full of dead bodies hanging from chains with a bunch of particle effects was really taxing on my old system to run.

You need to add cross support beams to harden the structure.

I built this across a frozen lake, you will die on the bottom level without heat even with warm armour so the bottom levels were a trap for people..

I do 1.5 high, that's what makes the most sense to me, it looks nice :)

Single wall always makes me claustrophobic, I have a mod installed that has a half wall and it looks a lot better than the two wall high builds. But lately I have been having performance issues. I play a lot of single player and have a dedicated server, large builds just seem to lag the game a lot more than they did when I first started playing.

For me when I think it's necessary .. high enough to fit a luxury bed with headroom to spare. That's usually 2 walls high.
