Well fuck. Have there any dark-looking switches in the game in the past few updates? No matter how I paint the normal switch it's too light to look like a part of an actuated tin pillar.

Maybe I can do something with sensors or pressure plates or something, it's just for a teleport.

More of this.

I wonder if it would be better to have the interior part built underground, or to build it high in the air somewhere? I'd have to have it surrounded by a lot of black solid blocks to give off that enclosed feeling but then I could use normal glass walls to have light filtering in.

Have any of you who have played with friends found out a way to stop the greed? They seem to argue over items too much.

>>170560991
If you want parallax scrolling with the proper background to be seen through the windows then obviously air. You can just put a black wall around it all.

Or just simulate light coming through the windows with gemspark walls if it's underground, depends on whether you want it to be hidden or not on the map when you're playing normally, if it bothers you seeing it on the map or accidentally flying into it when you're going somewhere else, just do it deep underground.

>>170547149
Something to think about would be putting some sort of exhaust pipe/smokestack over the engine so it looks a bit smoother

Alright, here's the large part of the warehouse.I'll add the cottage once I'm satisfied with this part.

What can be improved?

>>170570703
Add planters below windows, and generally make proper windows with open or closed shutters or something.

I like the workbenches as decorations, maybe put a darker wooden background behind them, and I would make the lower timber structure slightly less complex looking, by for example removing the 4 vertical walls directly in the inner corners of the X, so that it looks like the upper and lower supports are attached to the diagonal supports, not going behind them.

Put a winch/pulley on a beam below the uppermost window.

All I can think of right now!

Can someone please tell me how I do these lights?
The first one looks like Dynasty ones over a platform, but when I hit the platform to change it the light falls out. How do I do this?

The second one I can't figure which lamp is that or how I make it hang from a rope.

>>170573868
It's Tedit, sadly. I remember the original thread and the guy confirmed it.

>>170573868
Second is star in a bottle, not sure how they were placed like that, it's probably placed directly in TEdit.

>>170571513
Adjusted the wooden beams, I think this looks a lot better so thank you. I also replaced the material on the horizontal beams and the vertical ones on the sides.

It's not meant to be a residential building so I'm iffy on giving the windows more detail.

Can you explain the winch/pulley thing?

Here's the pulley I was talking about, these are usually on barns and such to lift things from the ground, you could even make the upper window bigger and be an upper floor door of sorts, and put the pulley above it (I mistakenly said below in the original post).

http://ramseyhistorical.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screen-Shot-2014-10-15-at-4.30.43-AM.png

From the front it would just be a cross section of a beam going towards the camera with some reinforcement and some metal block and a rope hanging off of it probably.

For the windows, I was thinking this sort of thing:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c2/33/19/c23319c092a5da7a29b68aa35a652340.jpg
https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/tobacco-barn-half-timbered-farm-to-dry-alsace-france-36155102.jpg

However, you could just make the wooden window structure and forget about the flowers and put those on the small building or something. There's no reason why the owner of the warehouse wouldn't beautify it though!

And I agree, the timber supports look much better like this.

>>170578176
Also for the very bottom, you could raise it a block and make little stone arches for the basement windows, or just make one hammered layer of slab or something to simulate walkway tiles around the building.

Or turn the lower blocks into background wall painted grey/white so it matches the rest, which will allow grass to grow in front of it.

Or a combination of all of that.

>>170579542
The base concept is pretty neat, if you don't like it, you just need to consider all the individual elements of it, and then improve them one by one.

For example, you could first make a spiral staircase on a 3 block wide stone slab pillar base, with all the stairs properly painted so that they show the front side or back side as appropriate.

Then make the chains have proper supports on top and bottom. Then make the upper corridor have supports and pillars and such. And so on.

What are some good mods besides Thorium?

Also, you could make a "double doors opened into the distance" thing inside of the arch with careful application of painted blocks and walls and shit so that it's not an obvious teleporter hole.

>>170584338
Not sure if that's possible, since the teleporter takes up that bottom space.

>>170585679
You need to hammer the teleporter edges into diagonals, paint them shadow/black, and then paint the walls behind them so that they match the door above. That way you get the lowermost door block so that it appears as if the door is going into the distance.

>>170586728
>>170586397
You can also put some platform that fits your door material and hammer it into stairs directly above the teleporter for the "lower trim" of the door, if you want a more fancy looking door. Also, you could just extend the door to the upper edge of the doorway depending on the door perspective you want to achieve (yours is with one vanishing point right in the middle of the doorway so you could actually add a knocker or a doorknob in the middle if you fiddle with platforms or chains a bit and paint them right).

I'm too lazy to do all that shit so I just hide teleporters below rolling doors but that doesn't fit your setting.
