Main Base expanded a bit, after a lot of Dvergr Outpost deconstructing and Stone Golem hunting^^

Troll's Deep - My Black Forest Base
Figured I'd share some screenshots of a build I've been working on. I started a new game for Mistlands and of course got immediately distracted by basebuilding. Vanilla, no cheats (except flying for screenshots).

This site is right against a mountain (the wolf that would occasionally wander down gave me some problems for a bit...) but there was an existing structure there that gave me a nice patch of flat ground to work with.

This is the biggest thing I've ever made completely out of wood. If I ever chop another pine it'll be too soon. The main structure is 2 floors + basement, I could only get 1 more floor out of the tower before I couldn't support a roof anymore. The tower goes all the way down to the basement. The frame and exterior walls are core wood, the interior walls are wood panels

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912242779 Bedroom / Kitchen / Rest Area. I left some room to expand this a bit later.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912244881 Crafting Hall + Storage, mostly incomplete (because I'm still at the start of the game)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912244986 Basement. This is the first time I've built my portal hub in my main base but there's plenty of room for portals. I think I can fit around 15 comfortably.

I like it.

Hi everyone!
Sooo... here's another of my little settlements. It was finished some time ago but i kept "updating" it (as i normally do with all my builds... trying to add new features, elements or details).
I started experimenting with "double layering"... prolly still not good enough with it but i hope you'll still like it.
The Settlement was realised on a small island bordering black forest and a really small patch of meadows.
It's connectedo to the ground via a fortified bridge (with a bridge tower on one end and a gate keep on the town's end).
The settlement is composed of various buildings.
Once inside there is a small "hunter/gatherer" hut (the guy also has a small vegetable garden and tends the bees :P).
The forge has its laboratory/foundry on the ground level while the blacksmith's living quarters are on the first floor (accessible via an external stair)
The baker's hut with the hoven.
The leatherworker/clothier hut infront of the forge.
The port is a small fortified one with 2 werehouses for repairs and for mead fermentation :P.
The Tower has a balcony used as lightouse. The model of the tower is the same one I used for one of my previous builds (wanted to challenge myself and see if i were able to reproduce it). aaaand... now some pics of exteriors and some interiors (I hope they'll be visible):

working on my current project:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2914806647
"naboo'ed" the working area - and currently farming copper for later decorations

Looks great! How about some more closeups?

updating the progress:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2918488543
still not finished - next steps is gathering more ressources and building a house
followed by the hard part - turning the nearby plains into the farming area

the way it looks is intended: i want it to look a bit crude, worn/used, also somewhat dangerous (sharp stakes around every buidling)
dont wont to make it look overfancy so a bit of roughness takes place (like the viking had repaired structures)

also placed details like blue mushrooms and large fires where i put down some trophys
the fire in the center also had a large skull next to it (spawned in) i love that thing

as trees i place oaks (got lucky on farming, so i have some acorns left)
decorations are spwaned via cheats - the rest is handmade following the survival game rules (no cheats)


work in progress
gave my village the name "eik hafnar" (oak harbor)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2918651227

it works better than expected - survived 2 "ground is shaking" and one "the air smells like sulfur" events pretty well

It is now day 256 of my 100% vanilla no cheats no savescumming Mistlands run and I thought I'd share a few iron age screenshots before I go kill Bonemass. I'm sure I'll get to Mistlands eventually!

The main structure is now supported by a stone basement but the rest is still core wood. The tower has a wood-iron frame (in case that wasn't obvious from how tall it is)
