Building Your Home Edition! Share Your Builds!

Not gonna lie, I'm making this topic to blatantly poach tips and ideas from everyone.

Personally, I very recently learned how to actually build beyond a very basic hut. Now, my problem is roofing. I am, admittedly very dumb; First generation of my family to understand electricity isn't devil magic.

What are your go-to tips and trick when making your home?

I dubbed this ''The Wolf den'' safest place on my oldest seed. A raised up ''turf house'' with reinforced inner stone walls & chimney, complete with iron beam reinforced core wood inner supports for the roof & upper roof smoke vent. With a single front entrance, portal access, and all the (current) workstations & cooking stations, looking forward to upgading this one yet again. Guarded 24/7 by 1 & 2 star wolves outside.

Roofs can be challenging, but clipping is your friend and so are “guide rails”.

Here is a curved front for a building that then goes straight back.

Standing on top you can see the clipping looks pretty smooth. I was able to do this with the wood beams curving back with the roof. While the left most roof pieces are connected to the building, the next roof pieces are connected to the wood beams curving back, acting as a guide to curve the roof pieces. There are also other pieces here and there to fill in gaps.

This does cause a lot of ugly looking clipping inside though, but you can cover it with the small floor pieces. You can see the guide rails here again, but with a flat part now, which is the small floor pieces covering all the clipping, giving it an overall much cleaner look.

I try to avoid “free place” and all of these are snapped in. Not only is there a lot of clipping you can do, but you can (not always) snap multiple pieces to a single snap point.

For our teleport area, I went with a double helix pathway and dioramas. Each reflects something about that area.

And who doesn’t have a cliff base?

You all have great imaginations. I just make basic huts to do what I need to do. Like OP I want to get ideas from others builds but never could imagine doing some of the stuff that some of you folk do. Truly awesome work Guys and Gals.

Trust me, we all started at just building some crude huts. My first hut was an absolute mess and my first town was so bad I left the seed to start a new one XD

Still using this bridge / landhouse, it looks rather small but it's not and
it has everything i need.
Ocean view, a river that takes me to Swamp and Meadow biomes.
I've build the house on a border of Black forest and Plains.

No actual defences, cheats and mods make this house invulnerable to attacks

Not much Viking related but it's a nice home.
