We need rounded foundation pieces…js
Can we not have foundations at all?
Pillars are fine.
Want rounded foundation? It will cost you 1200cc ![]()
Don’t want foundation? Then dont use it and use pillars only ![]()
No, we can’t. Pillars are not enough. If you don’t realize that on your own, it means you either haven’t explored building enough, or you don’t care for building at all. Either way, don’t try to ruin the game for the rest of us. If you don’t like foundations, @Bambere has an excellent suggestion for you:
Rounded fence foundations for me as well. ![]()
There is no rounded foundation in the turanian set just rounded ceiling it would be nice for a rounded foundation if possible.
If you call these jumbled piles of foundations worth exploring ![]()
I care about aesthetics as well as server performance. It’s too bad the foundation side textures are unique to these building pieces. But it’s not worth getting my server plastered with them.
Pillar, ceiling, mix insides and outsides to flavour.
Meh, can’t you do the same using both triangle and square ones ?
I’ve built tons of round structures that way.
Originally I used to think we needed rounded pieces as well. But in reality I came to realize they wouldn’t be as great as one might think.
Rounded corners for example. Would simply look like rounded squares and rectangles unless you put corner to corner in a 2x2. Which unless you have rounded frames (doorways), you can’t enter unless you leave a section wide open with gaps. Even if you did have rounded doorways to enter, 2x2 is incredibly small. Made smaller in the fact that the area of circle is smaller than a square of equal diameter.
The smallest rounded shape we currently can have is the 6 wedge hexagon. That is at the minimum the smallest structure in the game that allows some from of traversal (flat walls on each side), and some area inside to move around in if there is any sort of placeable. And even that doesn’t allow many crafting stations (not even talking T3 here) without some cramping.
The next smallest round structure is the 6 wedge hexagon in the center, with squares connecting on each facing, with wedges inbetween the squares. This basic structure allows for easy traversal, and can house just about any crafting station (with few exceptions). With the bonus of allowing vertical traversal using either stairs or elevators. Something a 2x2 curved structure just could never really fit.
After I came to all these conclusions, I figured that rounded walls and foundations couldn’t really work except as decoration or in purely aesthetic builds (that have no actual function to their form). But they wouldn’t even do a real good job there either.
Thus I recommend learning to manipulate the squares and triangles we have now to make curved shapes instead.
the only way round would work is to offer fully sized “buildings”. Basically just release some of the game assets like huts, towers etc as a bazaar item. They would be placed like stations. The towers can have pre built floors etc. Costly to build, but would allow for the rp and pve folks to build settlements. We have something similiar already as far as assets, the large tents.
Hell I can see a PVP style based on that…prebuilds and that is all you can make which would cut down on the spamming.
