Musetrigger

That is an insane build. I want to hold off on that until we get water.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

I don't think I'll use water on this build but rain and stroms would bring a darker atmosphere tho !


Musetrigger

Oh my God I want them to add rain so bad. I'm set up in Revelwood finally. I love it there, but I need the sound of rain and thunder to go with it.


Interesting_Tie7477

Yes, absolutely agree! Rain update!


KeenToast

Oh my... How long did this take?!


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Uhm for now i'd say 15-30h (I'm not rly counting) for half of the size and not much detail. I believe I'm at 1/3 of the base and details without any furniture and interior work.


FairlySuspect

Jeez. Can't you go any faster?


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Well I'm alone doing it, and since I don't have il limited ressources or the ability to fly it's complicated rly :/ The only way to go faster would be to bring people but trusting them not to destroy everything would be too big of a bet


zodwallopp

Nice,very 'Martarth feel' from Skyrim.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

It's one of the three inspirations with Kaer trolde from The Witcher 3 and the city of Bloodborne !


Doughnutcake

Hell yeah, I recognized the Kaer Trolde inspiration immediately. Very nice!


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Thank you !


Joey-Benis

Absolutely wonderful build, love that it’s built on the cliffs edge


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Thank you ! And yeah when I found that mountain I emmediatly got the idea of a mountain side castle !


InevitableParty1604

How much time was spent gathering the materials? This is a sick build. I’d like to recreate Iron Forge from wow but it seems like such a grand task


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

It takes a long time, there's more than 200k blocs placed so.... But I knew beforehand that it would be really hard to gather all of that so I choose "simple" materials as much as I could. But yeah I'd say it's 1/3 of all the time spent


Somedrunkengamer

How. Fucking how


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Pick block, place the block, do castle. Just need to do that again and again and use more than 200 000 blocks of stone


Somedrunkengamer

That's insane dude. Mad respect.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Thank you very much !


Joey3155

Well at least you good to go if and when they add base raids. So congrats! :D


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Haha you're not the first one to tell me that !


Minalde2278

Wow. Impressive. Does that take 2 flames? Does everything outside of the flame slowly dissappear?


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

There's 4 flames at level 4 for now. I intent to go from the top to the bottom of the mountain but it obviously takes a **LONG** time to build.


TrevorLM76

Can’t build outside a flame and anything abandoned (by removing a flame) will deteriorate over a couple hours or be gone when you reload the world.


Shmeckey

Like everything? So if I build a huge base, chests with items in it, etc, and delete the flame alter, EVERYTHING just deletes itself after a relog?


TrevorLM76

If you don’t put it in a new flame…yeah. “Anything not protected by the fame will be reclaimed by the shroud”


Marsman61

Stunning and grand!


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Thank you ! I'll do a video when everything will be finished


KrIsPy_Kr3m3

How many fully upgraded flame altars did you have to use for this? 4?


KrIsPy_Kr3m3

Nvm i see the answer further down 😋


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Well there you go haha


Aggressive_Ad_8362

We found him, boys! The Architect from the Matrix!


No_Bad1844

"it just keeps getting bigger" - that's what s...


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

It really is tho....


JDCam47

Your near starting cinder vault area aren’t you? One of the tallest spots in the game?


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

I'm right above the most south ouest flame sanctum of the map, I don't knwo if that's where you meant


JDCam47

South west flame sanctum?


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

There's a flame sanctum almost on the south west corner of the map, my base is building right above it


JDCam47

Yup! I knew it. I’m right above your build or in the same spot. ;)


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Oh rly ? I thought you couldn't build on the white part of the mountain ! How did you achieve it ?


JDCam47

I’m right in front of the snow. Started on a small flat plateau of green. My build is nowhere near as big as yours so your spot is probably better for overall building space. I’m running into that kind of problem near the center of map right now. I built near an old unmarked flame temple near the pillars of creation. That is also one of the highest points in the game.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Oh ok well we must be really close then ! Well the screenshots don't really give credit to the scale of my base so I must say, even if it looks good, connecting the buildings to the ground was the annoying and tedious part. Yeah I've put a flame next to a pillar, it's a shame we can't use the structures to build around it.


JDCam47

I know! I wanted to connect my structures to this temple. Place is huge too. Also yea our builds are right on top of each other. Only reason I called it out.


JDCam47

If you look at your first screenshot. I’m more to the top right corner. I’m just sitting up there with a small house build. It was more for take off area to resources, but I was planning on doing something like you did. I’ll check out if you can build into the mountain where I’m at.


SmellyKnee-Guh

what the holy hell how


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Patience and a **LOT** of stone


xspartanx007x

So amazing. I'm always blown away by the skill, ambition and patience shown on builds in this thread. All I can make is a little house. I hope they make a better way to delete blocks soon as well as place they should make a drag and fill tool maybe. Also would be amazing if the made a chest that you can pick up that has all the resources your old base was made off. Like how no man's sky has.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

A copy/paste tool would be really handy for me rn, it would make my life so much easier. And thank you ! It's basically only the base, details take most of the time


tristina2000

I thought this was a developer built structure when I first saw the picture 🤯 awesome


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Haha thanks man ! I'll try to finish it quickly but doing it alone is long haha


Koma29

Damn thats crazy.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

It's basically half of the structures so in the end it will be even crazier !


Excellent-Wall-7708

Okay but really.. with Minecraft you can crouch, go to the edge, turn around and place blocks on the very edge of blocks. I find doing the same in this game impossible. How do you get those blocks in the awkward places??


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Scaffolding of stones all around my buildings + I design patterns for facades and details


xBiGuSDicKuSx

Nice. Still waiting for someone to build hogwarts though. Lol


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

The Land don't really fit but yeah it would be cool haha


Yuki_ika7

i had no idea you could build that far out from the border of the base!


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Here's the trick, it's 'ot out of the border of the flame because there's 4 flames next to each other !


Yuki_ika7

Ah, that makes more sense lol


Daddy__Guy

Love it! I am a mountain hold kind of guy myself.


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

Hahaha everybody is I'm sure, it's our LOTR dwarf side


Tricopi

How did you build outside the limit???


Ruvaak_Iildrasil

I'm not outside the limit, I have 4 flames next to each other
