Posted December 15, 2016 I've just come back to wurm (Playing on WU). I wanted some screenshots of deeds that are more on the natural side of things. I normally build a 3x3 5 story stone tower with no windows with is GREAT for grinding.. but that's not what I want this time playing. I want to farm, raise animals and maybe make a vineyard. I would love some ideas and/or some screenshots of peoples deeds who have done something similar? Thinking about sticking to wooden buildings as well no more than 2 stories.

Posted December 15, 2016 I love the meticulously designed, organized stone villages, but I keep my deed a bit nature-y myself. I'm on the side of a mountain, and am trying to keep it as undesigned looking as possible. I put up only minimal fencing (around my stables/vinyard) and flattened very little. Rough cobblestone blends with the trees I've planted (birch and cedar). Lots of trees in general, especially on any slope that looks too flat. I've seen a lot of different versions of natural, from prairie farm to cottage in the woods to hidden gothic castle with scary statues around. I have no screenies right now, but I can post some later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2016 I'm used to making the organized stone villages.. but I've always loved the more "natural" looking deeds.. So I decide to try something myself this time. I think I'm going to go the cottage in the woods/farm route. Trying to stay away from the smithing skills as much as possible as I've already done 1000s of hours in WO of smithing and about 300-400 hours in WU lol. So I fancy trying something different. Maybe set up a nice area to cook, crow crops, make wine etc etc. Maybe even make myself a few boats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 15, 2016 51 minutes ago, JakeRivers said: will never understand the need to flatten the entire area then build I had a plan for one, but was never able to build it. The design was a flattened area around my house ( I prefer a 2x3 house with 2 floors. ) and will flatten a 4x5 area. The tiles immediately around my house are usually 1 or 2 cobblestone tiles from my door to the road. Everything else is typically fruit trees or bushes. I have an offset garden of 9 tiles ( 3x3 ) that I flatten enough to use as farm tiles. I might dig some other tiles to lower the slope, but I don't flatten them. Roads are 0 slope from left side to right side, but in the direction of travel, they are only changed so that they are a max of 20 slope. I use my house for an oven and personal storage. I make an 2x2 L shaped building that's all arches ( free travel through, but with permissions ) with a forge, smelter, bsb, crate and large / small barrel for water. Next to the farm, I'd make a 2x1 lean-to with arches on 3 sides and a wall on the fourth to store a BSB and FSB - each on their own tile. The stable for my large cart & wagon was 2x3 and 2 floors high with all 6 tiles of enchanted grass. The second floor was my woodworking, ropemaking and tailoring area. Along the roads I alternate between shrubs and non-oak trees ( they get too big ) with "lawn" ( short cut grass ) at the corners of an intersection and cobblestone paths to houses. After writing this down, I really am starting to feel the need to go back and find a spot for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) If you dye a stone wall the right color, it matches pottery brick floors and roofs pretty well. You can get some nice earth tones on stone/timber walls. Stone walls (and others) also look a lot more nature-y if you line the outside with tons of trellises, which is much easier with the new planting options. Lavender plantation hedges are a great thing to line your roads with for a nice flowery look. Flower boxes are good too. For the roads themselves, rough cobblestone might be a good idea. Rope bridges between buildings! You can grow grass under them, but unfortunately nothing else. Rope bridge ends can clip through floors/walls kind of strangely, so be careful with that, but rope bridges have a neat rustic look to them and can actually replace roads in some cases. Wooden bridges aren't bad either. Edited December 15, 2016 by Ostentatio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
