That core room is cheesy. I have a mega cool core room on a larger build, but it might not see the day due to it being class 8 already Being able to tweek the color is my turn on for color. I never liked the old colors, always felt too saturated for me. Thanks for the thumbs up! EDIT: Here is the larger one I was talking about Frac. I don't mean to dismiss your comment, that was not my intent, but compared to this one, that other one feels cheesy to me (I blame class size)
You definitely did not dismiss my comment - figured that for more internal "artist self-critique." And that is amazing. Love the softer.... green/brown/whites? Maybe? What is that color? Makes for a very neat feel to those walls and paired with the orange makes for a very powerful contrast. and you are most welcome for the thumbs up.
Ya. I am using softer whites. The RBG changes with each value, but its a slight heavier mix of red, then green, and blue last. So if it was lets say 170 red, might be 163 green and 157 blue or something like that. It changes depending on value. The orange does pair well with it. The key is simple (because the colors in game do not match to pantone colors exactly, or its my monitor) but I don't pay much attention to the color on the palette, but how it looks painted on the build. It also depends on where the build is going. That space station I think would look terrible on a planet, but in space where its always kinda dark you can predict the look and that white works. I have a ship with the same white, but in sunlight it looks pretty bad imo. So, ima have to change it up. But anyway, about trusting the look of the paint on the texture, not the palette. The reason I say this is if you look at the palette for that build, the primary orange I use on the non luminescent textures is darker, and kinda ugly. But it works wonderfully on the blocks/textures. If you spawn it, look at the color palette, you will see the different grey scales I am using and the various dark/grey browns, etc. I love the color chooser. Its one of the most amazing things to happen in the game. Very very powerful tool.
Had a few mins to spare, so I was able to make a few more refinements to the outer shell of the Excalibur Mk. III. Still a long way to go, but she is starting to look like something.
OH GAWD! I hate coming in here! All I ever want to do is subscribe to everything! This thread would kill a Shop-a-holic! At this rate I won't be able to get back to my own builds for a week! But what a ride! thanks everyone
Ever thought you were done with a build, then you look at it and think "but what if I did xxx?" Pretty much what happened with me and Luark station. I replaced many of the ceiling blocks in the outer ring with thin blocks to give the illusion of more space, enlarged the main landing pad, replaced a number of hull blocks with windows, and drilled the cargo expansions into the unused portion of the base. (There is plenty of room down there to add more cargo extensions if players want the additional storage.) Feedback is welcome.
Down where? Luark station? Just confused here. Was I to look back to find where you talked about Luark station in this thread? Was there to be a link to it on the workshop? Or maybe photos of it? I would love to give feedback but I didn't do well in English at school, so I can't tell you if your message was written properly. I already know mine isn't
Sorry, Luark Station, it's an overhaul of the BA_ClusterDrone you sometimes find in space. I replaced all of the pre-alpha blocks and updated it for v10. (with quite a few tweaks)
Oh, keep it comming!!! Love your latest builds. A must have for me! And as @Fractalite sayed, that core room makes me feel like a noob. ------------- On my end iam exploring POIs and fillerblocks for now. Yeah i know that there are a few unfinished builds from me... They will also get some love and hopefully be finished soon. Have to make my mind up of how i want the inner base to look. This one is a big digsite with base hanging on the sites of the hole: One observation i made while using the filler blocks is that this base in creative is at size class 9.0 because of the fillerblocks. In game while being generated at gamestart it goes down to 4.0.
Wooooooooowwwwww. You.... you should finish that. Holy damn. I think I might have a use for it too, that is, if you are willing.
hehe, yeah i know what you mean! I know. Thats 3 bases and one big CV that needing finishing. I wont start new ones before this list got down to one.. or so i hope This one will be first to get ready now. Beginning on the inside SV hangar and storage area now. Almost all other parts will most likely be in small buildings on the hole walls. So the plan at least. For sure i'am willing to release it and yeah don't be shy to use it as you wish!
Started today on a mission. I need to find Erestrum and Zascosium. Sadly the tropical Risa-like planet for the 1 percenters is not gonna work: So I waved good bye to paradise and warped to... Oh my. and look at the moon! it is a dead planet full of amazing epic-screen shot worthy moments and I am going to go and add some to the Epic screenshot thread. But, it is still lacking in E and Z... so, onwards. Three more planets later I realize, wait, maybe I should head in-system because lava planets would be closer to the sun right? YUP. Look at this craziness: So, resources found, but unless I acquire the E and Z I will not be able to leave because I need to build larger thrusters to even get off the ground. 3.93 g's dang! I think this might be my favorite planet weather wise thus far. The weather seems to alternate between "Storm" "Meteor storm" and "Hail." The music is not bad either.
I love that Base and how you do it. Great Ideas at work. What the ... Do you really think ......................................... THAT ................is a good place for the Core?
That's sometimes where I put a core/generator/fuel tank while working on a structure in creative to keep it out of the way.
Ok guys, I have a real Problem.... I want to tease you, without showing what it is…. Currently 'finishing' the outside, as in, going to make it airtight. (more) Details will be a later parse.... So... all I can say... it'll blow you away… EDIT: @Pyston I'll be taking heavy inspiritation of your 'core room', that thing - specialy the big one - is just AMAZING!! (In the hope that this OK, otherwise, please tell me! ; Hope I'll get it to an acceptable level/niveau...)
