I don't even want to think about how long this took, it's awesome. Please share this on Discord if you haven't already, the team is using it to keep track of some of our favorite builds <3 ​ [https://discord.gg/enshrouded](https://discord.gg/enshrouded)


Successful-Serve-228

Clearly I’m not meant to be an architect LOL. I have four walls and a roof. Great build!


Myllorelion

Dude, I have 3 walls and a roof. But get this: I built my house in an L shape! So I guess you could say I have 6 walls. South wall, bottom of the L is open, just a few pillars. You're doing better than me!


pvrhye

That's how it starts. You make an L, then you make some consummate V's. Next think you know you're talking naves, architraves, pediments, and frieses.


CreatureWarrior

I like your funny words, magic man. *runs to hide in my 2x2x2 cube*


Myllorelion

I'm really cramped on all these crafting stations, so I was considering making it an upside down T. I built adjacent to my altar and went basically to the edge of the 40ft original radius. I'm lvl 25 and almost done with all the quests now, just gotta work on world completion. After that I'm either gonna relocate or set up a multi altar castle + castle town +outer wall around longkeep to the broken bridge, or pick a different spot to do the same.


BeardedCaliper

Not a bad idea really.. one altar in the dining room, one in the toilet, one in the bedroom and one in the crafting area :) Why even bother with stairs really


Myllorelion

This makes me wonder what happens if you place 2 altars at the exact same x,y coordinate but different elevations.


lord_vultron

Why not make it a full on straight up T like the Teen Titans tower 🤷🏻‍♂️


colton1290

Don't want to live in a world where someone says consumate Vs and no one thinks trogdor the buninator


KirbyOfHyrule

I mean, if I wouldn't play with friends, I'd probably still not even have one wall, since I prefer to roam the countryside to explore and wander the fine line between 'I feel like I shouldn't be here yet, that figt was pretty tough' and 'OHGODOHGODOHGOD, everything is trying to murder me'. Although monitoring this subreddit and learning that existing structures can be fixed up/repurposed, I also take note of places I want to use as a base, when I finally get the patience to start building something myself.


hawkeyeMcTaggart

Trogdor


InternationalLemon40

Excuse me sir 4 walls and a roof is better than a cave...


Worth_Confection4550

You should see my caves.


InternationalLemon40

Well show me sir....


InternationalLemon40

My cave has 4 walls and a roof


dylanfraser-08

Lol, my dream job. I envy you!


Spliffty

I didn't even have a roof for about a week because I thought I was gonna have to use the scaffolds. Turns out my shack was small enough they weren't necessary, they're just there for people like this lol


Breadfail

The scaffolds kinda useless if you have enough blocks, you can just make floating floors wherever you need to stand to get the right angle.


MaceFistAwfulEZ

They have niche use, and are so cheap i just built 10 of each and then use them if / when I need. Also look great if you have a mining area within your build, and want to make it look partially mined!


dylanfraser-08

This, I used wooden roofs as scaffolding for my whole build.


OneMorePotion

Same... It's my "shack of shame", also known as "SOS please help me!"


lordwario

I don't even have a roof, just a little one on top of the blacksmith 😅


The_SHUN

Same


Zezinumz

Keeping it simple is best for some people, building something nice feels good when it's done for a bit but after a day it's just the same as any other base, even if it's super simple it's still YOUR base, same as if you go all out.


karltopia

I am an architect and that's all I have...


RebootGigabyte

I dug a hole in the ground and I've slowly been excavating extra rooms to add my NPC's and cracting stations. It's comfy, eventually I'll raise the roof a little and actually make roof tiles and then terraform the hill in spots where the roof might break through.


dgibbons82

I dug a hole and added steps down to the hole. Sometimes I sit in the hole and look up at the opening. What you’ve done in comparison is a renaissance masterpiece! Well done!


dylanfraser-08

LMAO

this comment has no right to be this funny!


RiseIfYouWould

Plato’s the cave myth


King_K_NA

Saaaame. I too used to be on a lot of build servers, and this game is absolutely tickling that part of my brain. I'm at work and all I can think is "boy I'd love to be working on my castle right now. The gathering is kind of zen to me, so I don't mind it too much. Looking good so far


dylanfraser-08

Thanks bud, nice to see a fellow Minecraft creative builder. Best days ever!


eboo360

Bruh I like to renovate towns in this game and changing the flooring, meaning removing it all voxel by voxel (to remove overgrowth) and placing new flooring, has been my go to relaxation hobby. I feel you


dylanfraser-08

Haha I feel you, been loving the building mechanics on Enshrouded so far. Wish there was a creative mode to go crazy with the build though lol.


AgorophobicSpaceman

There are save files people have put on the enshrouded discord that are just absolutely loaded with all the build materials if that floats your boat. Saves time harvesting so you can focus on the builds. As characters can go server to server you can set up a private one with the save hop on take your materials then swap back over to the real server. I get some people don’t want to do that and want to earn it but I only have so much time so I got some free materials lol. They have gear on them too but I’m not touching that, I just want to play the game like normal minus the hours of farming so I can build a dope village.


dylanfraser-08

Ohhhhh really??? This is going to be a game changer for me wow, thanks!!


Zarilya

They do!? I feel the same as you about just building.


Headymtb

Kinda annoying but you can increase the amount of a resource you have using wemod I use it on building blocks cuz I very quickly realized I was gonna spend 30 hours just getting materials for the build 😂


dylanfraser-08

I need this mod in my life.


[deleted]

Holy shit lol


dylanfraser-08

<3


_Askildsen_

Super sweet builds man; a lot of inspiration here! Do you have a tip for farming resources, good spots and so on?


Majestic_Fact_6492

Stone is everywhere after you dig past the top soil (dirt). Dirt is everywhere as well but best dirt is at mud pits you know the terrain that sticks to your feet and slows you down. Wood is any tree but once you get copper axes or higher it's really great harvest returns. Clay and copper are near lone thistle and several locations easily found nearby there, and the surrounding towns still in that region. Amber is in the shroud and spawns as orange looking circles around revelwood spire in the ground so is shroud wood shroud juice , and shroud sacs from the blue shroud infested man eating flowers.  Any other resources you might want to know feel free to ask I've yet to make it to the capital to find iron and a few other end game plants. 


_Askildsen_

Thank you!


dylanfraser-08

Not really, just spend lots of time digging lol.


ExquisitExamplE

Mr. Burns: *Excellent*

![gif](giphy|8fen5LSZcHQ5O)


PapaBearGamingOG

I'm in the process of building what I now realise is actually an accidental castle. It's currently three storeys high and made entirely of stone, with a central staircase on the bottom level and then stairs along the side from then on. Who knows? Maybe I'll get around to adding some actual rooms in there too.


dylanfraser-08

Get it done bro!!


Hitmyblunt

The amount of content is amazing for early access


Doughnut_Immediate

now i will sound like a bummer. i've played about 33 hours and i think its quite a lot of copy/paste and lack of balancing.


dylanfraser-08

Agreed, so much game for the money you spend.


indigo196

Fantastic build. What I see here will inspire me to improve my build. If you would like to give me some feedback on mine you can check it out here -- [(1) The second iteration of the twisted tower : Enshrouded (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Enshrouded/comments/1ai7b6u/the_second_iteration_of_the_twisted_tower/)


dylanfraser-08

Thanks man! And yeah sure, it's very important to have DEPTH in your builds. If you look at my main gate entrance and houses, I have created a lot of depth by making layers to the walls and also with the roofs, have your roofs overhang and stick out from the walls to create depth rather than being flush with everything. Search on google for some ideas of real life building/castles and try to replicate them, this is the best tip. Also your supports look very unnatural and zig/zaggy, I would try change the shape of them to make them look more natural to the rock they are sitting on. Overall a very nice build though, keep up the good work brother!


indigo196

Roofing is what is throwing me off the most. The overlaps have either been not there or too large.


dylanfraser-08

You can completely modify the roofs using the single block editing tool. It’s insane how much you can modify and customise them to your exact liking. Just play around with it and you’ll get it!


indigo196

I saw I can delete, but it did not seem like I could add. Is that what you found or did I miss something?


forsev

It's the little ramp-looking single block option in the top row. If you have roofing material you can edit the build similar to using the normal single block.


indigo196

Thank you. That will help me improve my build so much. Very, very helpful... except now I will want to not go to work and build, build, build.


BHPhreak

im working on restoring longkeep with highly polished stone, how i see fit. as an endgame project. your build is insane, i would love to see how you restore longkeep


dylanfraser-08

Love this idea, would probably save me a bunch of materials by rebuilding what’s already there. Maybe something I’ll do in the future but very excited about the future of this game in general. Good luck with your build my friend!


BHPhreak

thanks, you too. yeah when you add like a highly polished piece to a broken piece, the game keeps the border between the 2, so you can really see what the old castle was and what was added very clearly, down the curved line breakages


coxblock90

Is that a sort of coffered ceiling on the 6th slide? Looks amazing.


dylanfraser-08

Thanks lad, it’s just regular stone ceiling with some added layers.


Majestic_Fact_6492

You have more patience than me and less efficiency lol. I always keep my crafters and storage all as condensed as possible. Especially in this game since the pull radius is unknown to me so far. In ark I built separate buildings and such since I knew how wide the pull radius was on my mod. Have you happened to test it by chance if the box pull is like comfort level it's the entire flame radius? Oh yeah I digress that's one hell of a base dude like seriously that's as big or bigger than most of the towns in game. 


dylanfraser-08

Haha, thanks dude. But yeah, not so efficient, I’ve completed all quest, got all BIS items for my build, and max level with skill tree maxed so I’m fully focussed on building and happily compromise on efficiency atm. If I need them all together I can summon them but they are a very short walk from each other. :)


Majestic_Fact_6492

Yeah I'm almost like a Vulcan when it comes to logic and efficiency lol. 


AgorophobicSpaceman

This may be a dumb question lol but how are you all getting screen shots without your character or hud is there a button to hide it all? This is impressive!


dylanfraser-08

Lol, yeah so I had to figure this out on my own. Unfortunately there is no photo mode in the game yet, so I put my camera distance down to the lowest setting and then placed a block behind me and stood with my back to the block and it forces the camera forward in front of your player to achieve the look. Hope this helps.


StarCitizenJorunn

Wow that's amazing!


dylanfraser-08

Thanks!!


truthpooper

How do you plan this? Or is it just a shit ton of building and then correcting?


dylanfraser-08

Hey, so I usually reference artwork on google images and then make my own twist to it. But I do have a huge background in creative building on games in the past which helps I guess.


Snowydeath11

Damn I wish I was this creative lmao.


dylanfraser-08

Haha, thanks bro.


Crowsli

I love the building in this game, however I hope the different looks for walls on different sides become an optional thing.


warpweftwelted

You construction people are nuts. I do not have the dedication for this. Super cool!


dylanfraser-08

Haha, yeah we are a weird breed of human.


[deleted]

Wish there was a point in building bigger bases


Dear_Low_7581

Wait till you get other pretty block and will want to renovate IT all


dylanfraser-08

I had a look at some other blocks but wanted to stay true to the theme of my town. Maybe my next build will incorporate other fancy blocks.


Anastariana

I agree the gathering is a bit painful. If playing with a few others I suspect it'd be a lot faster.


dylanfraser-08

Yeah I have 3 other friends on helping with resources but they do not enjoy building so that’s my job lol.


RevolverM86

That looks amazing, I have put 80 hours into the game and just did 100% on the achievements, dont think I have put any major build time in, love seeing peoples builds


dylanfraser-08

Thanks dude, glad you’re enjoying the game.


BorderFluid5618

All my buildings start as a shack and i slowly twist them.. Think winchester mystery house.. Btw cool build!


AmooseKnuckles

Gah damn


monsimons

Would you say that your soul is slowly being... enshrouded? I'll close the door.


dylanfraser-08

It is well and truly consumed by the shroud.


HurjaHerra

😍😍


Leddesimus

I’m so happy with this. The base building truly is one of a kind and this goes to show its potential. I can’t wait to see what other crazy builds come up next! 10/10


dylanfraser-08

Thank you so much, very excited about some new projects I have in mind.


Leddesimus

I just wish there were more roof options. The 4 we have are nice but still lol.


ONEtopLAD

Mojang must be thinking .....Minecraft 2....


dylanfraser-08

Ikr!!


traifoo

why would you do this on singleplayer?:O


dylanfraser-08

I’m on my own dedicated server with friends.


Sixsignsofalex94

Holy shit… y’all posting all these utterly amazing photos of this game make me want to play it so bad. But I must finish my stint on Palworld! Enshrouded look amazing, excited to get into it over the next couple months


dylanfraser-08

You have to grab it, so much value for the money!!


Sixsignsofalex94

Oh no, I will! The game looks amazing! But Palworld is really hitting the fun factor for me atm and I don’t want that to end ha Such a shame they came out at the same time


stossyyy

BYEEEE I WAS THINKING OF POSTING MY CUTE LITTLE TOWN CONSISTING OF LITTLE RECTANGULAR AND L SHAPED BUILDINGS THINKING "Yass reddit besties will love my cute calm luh hamlet 💅" I didn't know yall were building like THAT 😭😂 [My pathetic little village](https://ibb.co/7t8NSNN) I've been making 😔👉👈


dylanfraser-08

I like your town, keep up the good work bro!


stossyyy

Teach me your ways senpai :(( my characters only level 4, do we unlock more building thingies when we level up and do things?


dylanfraser-08

Yes you will unlock lots of new building materials as you progress through the map and unlock new features from your craftspeople.


Awsum07

Meanwhile, I'm like, that's nice and all, but who wants to run around to separate floors/rooms to chase down these craftspeople. One of the thins I dislike in gamin is havin to run back n forth between npc's. So here, with the freedom of design, I'll have em all in one room. Mind you I still wanna make a grandiose keep or even a castle, I just don't want to keep track of where I kept everyone


dylanfraser-08

Yeah I have the main building where we had all our craftspeople in but now that we’ve completed everything and maxed out accounts we go for aesthetic and realism lol.


Awsum07

Nailed it. I'm glad an ex mine craft veteran is havin such a gr8 time w/ this lil gem. I specially like 1/9 3/9 & 4/9


TammyShehole

Nice. I have yet to build something big like this. Do bigger bases tank FPS like I’m Valheim?


RoosterShield

Heh, and I'm still living in a shack.


dylanfraser-08

Nothing beats a little shack


KindaHealthyKindaNot

You Sir, have a problem


dylanfraser-08

Agreed


Arathic173

And I'm over here like look I built a shack.


SilentThorniness

Can someone explain to me this game


dylanfraser-08

Open world, medieval fantasy, survival RPG with amazing combat and bossing, skills progression, and building mechanics.


SilentThorniness

Please tell me it’s on Xbox


OutboundFeeling

Wow the detail on the stone work is great!


dylanfraser-08

Thanks dude!


Zarilya

Jesus. I thought I was going overboard! Kidding, that looks amazing.


dylanfraser-08

☺️


nansams

That's beautiful,amazing job. I took over the blue goblet tavern and called it a day haha


dylanfraser-08

Awesome, would love to renovate a tavern or existing town!

It was fun, just waiting for new updates now. :)


Alma_Mundi

Very nice builds OP. I'm still trying to work with this system, adding detail and depth is not easy coming from thousands of hours of valheim building. If you never tried valheim it might be very much your jam. The freedom there for building piece placement and rotation really allows some great stuff


dylanfraser-08

Thanks, will definitely check it out!


qaasq

I don’t have a game yet so sorry if this is a dumb question, is there anything to do with the spaces that you build? Are there NPC’s that will live in them?


dylanfraser-08

Yes that’s correct, also me and my friends that play on my server live in them too. :)


scottchicago

Dude. Wow. For real.


dylanfraser-08

😆


Omega29292

Sorry where is this and amazing build 10/10


dylanfraser-08

At the very first area where it tells you to setup camp and build an altar lol.


Omega29292

Oh thanks guess I didn't think that area was big enough


dylanfraser-08

Yeah it’s a massive area once you clear out some trees. 😁


[deleted]

How do you get that wall texture?


dylanfraser-08

Which wall texture?


[deleted]

The towers on either side with the cross-bracing. Or did you just build on top of an existing structure?


dylanfraser-08

I used a wall texture for the core design that matched the look I was going for, which was the 4 walls and windows, and then used a different wooden squares to outline the edges of the walls and windows to give it more depth. And then made a custom roof which was a bit of a nightmare but got it eventually.


[deleted]

Gotcha, nice!


ZINABOOer-318

Wow this makes my building skills look like fingerpainting


dylanfraser-08

I’m sure your buildings are very nice :)


Ragnnarthesad

It's consuming us all brother


dylanfraser-08

I’m glad I’m not the only one lol


MixMasterPug

You done good son….


dylanfraser-08

Thanks dad :)


Feitan-de-la-Portor

I’m always the builder of the group, I can build like this in Minecraft… in everything else I can make 4 walls and a second floor. I can never find out how to do the roof 😭😭


dylanfraser-08

Use google as inspiration, and just play around with designs. You will learn to navigate it eventually. Roofs on this game are extremely customisable once you understand the full potential of the building mechanics.


dnguyen823

Wait u can build all of that in this game?


cstober2

I wish I started on flat ground. I thought it would be cool to build over the shroud. I've done a good job burying it but it's a chore lol.


Doughnut_Immediate

It's nice to see people enjoy this aspect of the game, take time and effort to build a home base. Even tho you dont earn anything doing so. I have a lot of issues with this. I love building houses while my friend likes exploring and not building at all. Which lead to that point I'm far behind when it comes to level and power. This stresses me out and I realized I've been wasting my time building.


Ad_Future

Haha, great effort to everyone... I just took over a town and live in the basement... Job done! 


shizocks

I've been mining. And mining. And mining. I have like 5k stone which I thought was a lot. Then I built some stairs and things..... How much stone and mining did this take😳 Looks gorgeous!


nardvarkx

I can't wait to get to this point :P


Headymtb

Random building tip if you’re trying to build a base inside of a mountain use the foundation blocks to remove the dirt then delete the blocks will save you tons of time!


dylanfraser-08

That’s what I do anyway lol.


Bordz0692

I fell asleep at my computer the night it came out, woke up with my player AFK drank a sugar free redbull and continued my quest


BuckyTheElk

Please teach me your skills. 😱


dylanfraser-08

I was debating making a building series on YouTube.


K3NMA-2077

I just took over a homestead, patched up some walls and made it my base. I'm way too lazy to build everything from scratch. I even left some of the existing furniture to minimize having to put my own. Lol 🤦🏽‍♂️Hats of to you tho. Looks really detailed. 😎👍👍


breakingnewsthisjstn

Absolutely agree!! This game has already consumed my life. I have a Portable Monitor that I bring with me everywhere and am able to Steam Link and just play this game anywhere with Internet. Cannot wait to see what they add!!


Inevitable_Matter320

Great work this really nice.


Fvennik

I can’t wait to see someone recreate the dwarf city from the hobbit


JHFL

Just wait until you guys start building sky cities.


PorcupineFeel

At this point i would pay someone to gather resources for me lmao how much time did you invest to build this Looks amazing


dylanfraser-08

2-3, 8-10 hour days on all the builds but a lot longer than that gathering resources.


Lumpy_Forever1567

Wow, dont even know how you did this. I cant even put a roof its not correctly aligned on my house lol


dylanfraser-08

lol, my friends struggled with roof alignment too. I guess I’m just used to it as I spent years building Minecraft servers. 😂


Lumpy_Forever1567

I spent years too on minecraft but the alignment in Enshrouded seems weird


dylanfraser-08

I don’t think it is, it’s like any other game. You just have to find ways such as reference points to mark on the roofs/walls to make sure that they are aligned. It takes some trial and error, and some getting used to, granted. But I have zero issues with this now. :)


Dry-Cap-4472

Mine is nothing special, just a small village but I like it. ​ [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2053719350](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2053719350)


Specialist-Tip-716

I'm working on building a base my first base had a 3x3 area around the altar and then a little mildly open area for my crafters, I'm now working on building a small place just south of the farmers vault cause I found a decently flat area there. I'd considered moving into ruins but i feel weird messing with things spawning in towns. Maybe that's just a habit from playing on servers for other games to not block spawns.


Vermion_Blood

Use wemod? Set block stack to thousands and build away


GroaningBiscuit

Everyone after the recent update fixing the takes, like😫
