like it , building therapy by Dr @Buugi, the hipster “i dont use any fancy blocks” builder.
but don’t insinuate that the rest of us have C class builds, personally I rank all mine all mostly class O and Y (as in oh why oh why did I start this…).
My problem isn’t what kind of blocks but the amount…usually bite off more than I can chew and end up getting distracted by something else before I finish, though I will go back and finish eventually. Probably.
My main blocker is that I start with too complex ideas that I’m too tired to think about and execute after work.
Creating great builds in Boundless feels like a second job to me. (In a good way! I love it.)
But it also means that I need the time and energy to execute them. (What I’ve been lacking lately, due to first job.)
Btw:
Same here. My favorite building materials are trunks and timber.
I don’t think you need fancy materials to step up your game.
Don’t know if you remember my build on Therka. It had abysmal prestige, but prestige is a very bad advisor when to comes to building anyway.
would help alot if i could chisel blocks pre placing them
like real world builders do
then just place pre chiseld blocks instead of hanging around with a chisel and a grapple
Yep definitely the chiseling is one for me to .
Always build big and the amount of chiseling that “needs” to happen.
Still that isn’t my only problem. Scrapping other builds because they just don’t “work”.
As in to much that needs to happen to see progress, plans that can’t be built because there is no space and on…
Anyway i hope i have fixed most issues now
and don’t end up starting over again .
For me personally if I’m building a structure like my castle or any big building I struggle with new designs and trying to come up with something different while staying within theme.
Also been trying to step outside my comfort zone and try blocks and Colors that I normally wouldn’t choose and that’s stopped me a little because I start to question if it looks good or not lol
Losing sight of the scale of the project is my largest problem. Luckily I have Powerman to back me up if I really need help. Without him I don’t think I’d be anywhere near to finishing my current build.
My main blocker is plots. My base currently is beeing built little by little because of that.
Some would argue my lack of notivation but i have found i work best when I add blocks to a build when im motivated rather than having a deadline.
Which sucks for me because i got tangled into deadlines now.
I used to try to follow a rigid idea for my builds but now, with the exception of 2, i go off of loose outlines and build freely which makes me happier.
My first place looked like a log cabin in the woods. My second like a mud hut with a gleam corner.
Now, I build big. Big log cabins in the woods. Big mud huts. Next: even biggar mud huts with refined gleam corners and gold filigree columns and a roof like a big big log cabin in the woods.
The build is for showing off/ a legacy: nobody visits/wants to have a look at it, Oort maintain costs is too much or the game is dead.
The build is for own sastified purposes: dont have time/ lack of motivation for it.
The build is for gameplay progression: nah, nothing can stop me on this lol.
For me it was always that the amount of time spent sourcing the materials (the boring bit) far far outweighed the building (the fun bit), and I don’t feel any sense of satisfaction that “I had to grind for x hours to do this, but now it’s finished” that other people seem to.
Creative could have been a solution, but knowing that there is no ability to pack up a creative world when I want to take a break and stop paying for a while (so I could store it locally and upload it back onto a server later), I never tried it.
Sooooooooooooo
Sooooooooooooo
Sooooooooooooo
True thankfully it isn’t a big problem for me at the moment. Most used block are in abundance in my storage (because of my redoing and what not).
