Posted December 13, 2015 STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS: WALLS It seems surprising to me that after about a decade, we still have the same three wall types and very basic construction creativity options in a, for all intents and purposes, game revolving around construction and design. There isn't a single player who doesn't need a structure of some kind, regardless of PVP or PVE servers. That's why I think it's high time to go through a number of additional option ideas. TYPES OF WALLS Log Cabin: Pretty self explanatory - easier than the wooden plank walls, an ideal first home for a new player - chop some trees down and use the logs as well as a few pegs to create your first home - no nails required! Mud Hut: Gather some dirt and some water, and mix that tincture together for some sloppy, nasty, dirty wet mud to sling up yourself a nice one story, 2x2 tile max size mud hut. Perfect for that long trip when you really need to get some shelter. Tee Pee: Of course, what's better than a good old fashioned Tee Pee when you're a wandering nomad? Nothing, that's what. Get yourself some square pieces of cloth, some shafts, and blammo you've got the makings of a nice cozy native home. WALL PLACEMENT As we all know, roads have overgone a nice little overhaul, for paving you can now pave a corner, which makes diagonal roads look like an actual road. Why not structure walls? Diagonal walls would - all by themselves - make constructing structures far more in-depth and amazing. Pretty simple. Round Wall: Also something I would love to see is a rounded wall, for that castley feel, or that gazebo you've always wanted in the back garden. That's all I've got - if more good ideas show up in the below replies, I'll add em in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) For rounded architecture, I am a big fan of COB HOUSES which have a little bit of a fantasy-hobbitlike-faerie-medieval feel to them. It would be tricky to design a "system" for building these however: . . . A key element seems to be to EMBRACE a little asymmetrical imperfection so you could probably do something with cob, adobe, or even a all new TERRACOTTA style unique to Wurm (I haven't quite decided whether that is a NAKED WOMAN on the front lawn, a bit of POP ART, or someone who just died from laughing) Edited December 13, 2015 by Brash_Endeavors 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2015 No bad ideas that I can see here! Also, I'd love to see the usual suspects: Marble and clay brick walls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
