Hi all-
Deen Wispa here. I own a small town called Sheriff on Bitula which I founded a few weeks ago. It will be home to the Bitula Rangers. I chose Bitula not just because it’s a T3 planet but because it ain’t pink like Lamblis or Cephonix! But seriously, as soon as I saw this view from the top of a large cliff, I knew I had to make this home, excessive Cuttletrunks and all. In addition, the blue hues and abundance of lakes nearby is a total winner.
I need your help for inspiration. Here’s a bit of my vision so you can chime in with some feedback.
Problems I have:
- I can lack imagination hence the reason I never played a game like Minecraft
- How to best scale the town. I really don’t want some huge massive settlement for ego boost nor do I wish to annex other settlements nearby. There are few that pose a threat anyway as it’s a very rural area.
- What materials do you think are best suited for this?
- Do you have screenshots of medieval settlements that you like that would resemble what I envision?
I want to have a thematic build that focuses on these elements:
- Take advantage of the altitude and build vertically. I dislike the horizontal sprawl that occurs with most settlements and would rather build vertically. Especially given that travelers, far and wide, will be able to see the towering castles
- Sheriff will be medieval and will be a castle.
- It will bridge both sides of the large canyon. So the bridge should play a functional role into the design.
- It should encourage people to build into the cliffs. Note that it’s not an underground city. But just that plots are built into the cliff and they will protrude so that you can see them. They’ll probably need to be at least 1 plot that sticks out from the ground for aesthetic purposes
- What functional (or aesthetic) elements would you like to see built into the settlement?
- Colors are focused on Purple and Green (mint/turqoise) with Purple being the predominant color.

From the movie, After Earth. I love how the homes are built into the cliffs here;
On a side note, I will be launching my own small guild soon and looking for US TZ players (PC). Benefits includes tight collaboration by encouraging players to specialize, meteor hunting parties, specialized shop stands, and voicecomms. PM if interested in more details or reach me on offcial Boundless Discord or “Deen Wispa#4079”
