More random buildings

A question for the developers, I am a player not "so good" with buildings, but I love to see castles, houses or all the other magnificent things that you can see on yt or here from other gamers, I prefer slay mobs that occupy these places and decorate everything.
For this reason I ask you if in the final version of this game, will be more probably find huge castles, more small villages with different styles maybe from a region to another? Or this isn't in your plans?

They just need to make it easy for modders to put their own builds into the same generation pool as existing structures, and maybe their spawn rates. I can imagine all sorts of immersion breaking things happening if they were sourced randomly from other players, but I'm sure that individuals could batch builds into packs to fit different flavours.

It would be great if they could do that with dungeon interiors too. I would be dtf with player made dungeons, even if the interior environments needed to be made painstakingly out of stone blocks. RIP save file size though.

Something that would be incredibly cool is if Irongate hosted some public servers for people to share builds on (with the understanding that they are free to use designs they like from there in the game). :)

I think the OP is asking for more & larger prefabs or points of interest to be generated with the map, and I agree that would be nice. It would give more incentive to explore, more places to loot, more places to claim as our own.
And I'm fairly sure that folks would allow them to use their builds in the game for just such a reason.

I would absolutely hate it if they added player builds to the game. Talk about a disgusting ego boost. No, just keep the ruins exactly as they are.

Why not have more variety of the ruins you can find?

Nearly all Pois in Empyrion are made by players.
It means not that every offered Building make it into the game.

And with that your argument loses all credibility.

Because *I* said so.

Would be ideal to have more variety.

Easy way to do it, too. Give players a criteria, have them build, have the community vote on their favourites. Plenty of games have done this before.

I don't think the devs have access to the players' world files, so I don't think they can steal our builds to use as ruins.
But I would also like to see this, big usable ruins (for a home). The current ones are barely a campsite.

I currently clear them kind of like the terminator.. Ive taken down buildings with archers at the top because the stairs were blocked or missing. If they were useful, would have to have a better strategy.
