    Very nice.

    Oh I love anything with tracks :)

    I see you follow the XCaliber design philosophy a bit - adding the functional bits first then building around it. I could probably save a lot of time doing that, but I sort of have my own method of madness when building stuff. It usually ends up being an overly complicated mess, but occasionally yields interesting results.

    Created some Talon defense outposts and random obelisks for this desert planet:

    Also did some more finishing touches on the Temple of the Sun and added some secret passages. :D

    I love the tribal deco and torches and stuff.

    Will YOU make an offering to the great Sun God? There will be a custom trader here who will pay a premium for random trinkets as tribute. Maybe hold on to your gold bars to sell here. :D

    The Sun Beacon shines on through the blackest night, beckoning travelers from this planet and even worlds beyond:

    Your temple looks awesome, every time you post something I have to go check and make sure you did not add a Stargate to the moon or a Goa'uld Mothership somewhere :D.

    Slow morning here.. so why not upload my small outpost to steam.. right? riiiiiight

    NSI Outpost N-11
    Workshop-Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1663070752

    This is something i made some days ago on the next planet (Arid) in my solarsystem as i was tired of relying on the Cerisier to be my base away from home.. needed a cosy little hut to rest my sore ancles and manboobs.

    20190222093103_1.jpg

    The view from the farm/dining area on this planet is amazing:
    20190222101133_1.jpg

    @jadefalcon , @ravien_ff and @Germanicus ... great builds peeps :) Your builds would look so good on distant planets as POI's when/if Eleon adds more races.. somewhere between Talon and Zirax/Polaris technologywise. Or perhaps like the NOX from SG-1 :D Looks like homeless hippies but are far more advanced than most others in the universe..

    That view is awesome! And a good looking base.

    I wish they did more with The Nox. They were one of my favorite races in Stargate!

    Well, it is a quite old built. I created it in a MP game out of pure boredom:rolleyes:.
    When I logged into the Server I was lucky to had 5 min before the whole Solar system was wiped to make a BP of it. It is unfinished. Its is only a super large Mass of Concrete/ Armored Concrete and some Player Devices as it was intended to my Base on the Planet. Rear side it has a small Hangar, a Ground level, and 3 upper level as well as Elevator leading to the Top of the Templo Major - blue Pyramid.
    I used this Picture as a template. ME and Empires, You know?;)

    Temple of the Moon:

    20190222043225_1.jpg

    It's a copy of the Temple of the Sun, just with different colors and deco.

    Matching obelisks and defense outposts:

    The two temples spawn almost within visual range of each other. You can see the sun temple in the distance on the left from this Moon defense outpost 20190222043654_1.jpg

    Temple of the Sun in the foreground, with the Temple of the Moon in the far distance:

    Very Nice!:D
    The render distance of Buildings is about 1.19km, at least in SP and on Arid Planets ;)

    They seem to stay loaded for a lot further away once you first load them in. These two temples were about 2km apart on this seed. I set them to spawn between 1 to 2.5km apart so there will be seeds where they might be pretty close to each other. :D

    The defensive and auxiliary structures are also set to avoid the other temple, so there should be distinct "sun" and "moon" areas.

    Think I have made my mind up how the distribution of weight and volume in the (SV) ERIDANUS looks and works best. Max. Weight lays at 200to Lift off weight. That means about 90 in addition to the 110to it has empty. Still no Truster added so far.

    Look in the Cargo Hold

    Today I spent a bit of time removing small ammo boxes from HV/SV builds and replaced them with the new ammo controller.

    Why would I do that if the small ammo box is still a legal device?
    Weight.

    The legacy small ammo box is 600 kg, the new ammo controller is 50 kg.
    When dealing with a small build that weight makes a lot of difference.

    Now, how am I going to rearrange this wall?
    I have 3 SV builds & 2 HV builds that have a wall very similar to this one.

    Today, I spawned a BP of my cargo mule. It'e a small vessal transport with several cargo boxes (old style).

    To my surprise, the cargo boxes had CARGO! And it wasn't like I had saved the BP while it contained said cargo as mearly all of it was made up of things I never put in there at any time.

    Has this happened to anyone else? I'm not complaining, merely curious. I will always accept free stuff!

    Hell!! I better spawn some more BPs and see what other goodies await.

    Not recently, but @XCaliber is currently streaming and he spawned in one of his older builds. While he was showing those pre A9.x Cargoboxes I saw Stuff in several of them
