I joined boundless not long ago and I love every second of it!
Now, I really love putting my creativity in buildings but I’d like some pro builder tips that can help me figure out some of the building techniques. I got the base started and have an idea how it should look like but I don’t know how to make certain things. My psn is RubbermanTHC, in game character name is Rubberman. I’m set up on Gyosha and if you’re around and willing to help me, hit me up!
Welcome, if you wanna learn the basics I suggest watching some minecraft tutorial videos online. They have a lot of basics covered, like geometry etc. There is also more involved videos on high end projects.
Come to Kindred Bay on Sorissi! I’ll add your psn when I’m home from work in 5-6 hours. I’d love to show you some tricks I’ve picked up and other people’s awesome builds.
Also other tips, like I have a little mock-up staging area with sand floors so I can chisel rocks and try totally random and creative stuff, then break it down without accidentally taking the floor out. I usually hash out roof designs there rather than trying to figure stuff out in the air.
Welcome to the forum. I am willing to help in anyway I can.
The best advice I think I can give you is trial an error. The more you use chisels the easier the ideas come what you can do with them.
Another one is take enough space. Chiseling helps for detailing and provides the opertunity to build smaller but bigger and especially layers us the key to any nice build.
Minecraft tutorial videos? I’m confused haha, I played a lot of base building games, I just need some essential tips and tricks for building in boundless
Wow where did this come from. Wish I had that long ago. Lol. awesome stuff though.
@Rubberman
Well probably the first tip should be. Don’t build your walls right at the edge of your plot line. Build in the middle of your plot. That way you have space to add more layers to your wall. Also make sure you have a lot of room if you’re planning something big.
Chisels are your worst enemies until they become your best friends for some visual aid here are two different videos from @Jiivita, they’re quite dated but still relevant for everything except the lattice chiseling, which he incidentally covers here!
Building in boundless is much like any other voxel game, my advice would be to go through your knowledge tab to figure out what kinda blocks you have to choose from, and something like Boundless Crafting to find out which colours of raw resources to get from where.
Other than that, the inspiration and planning are the only real hard parts! Good luck and welcome to the forums
Make sure you test the block colors you like on your planet before you gather a ton. The atmosphere can change how the color looks depending on the planet
