Funkinstein Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The bad thing about finishing so early is i really, really NEED the new challenge now. It's killing me to wait to find out what's next. Castles aren't my thing, but I've got a ton of ideas in my head for whatever the next one might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay37 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 i think the map names should always coincide with the build type, for example Shamalot is a great name for a castle build a few other ideas..... Rapture - Underwater structure/city Vault-Tec - Underground bunker build UrbanDevelop - Make a whole city block Burj Khalifa - Tallest build possible Atlantis - Over the water build Escher - Structure built only using stair pieces (lol) ....just tossin a few ideas out there... Stairs are hard to work with.😁 That is a great idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkinstein Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hey guys, I found something disturbing about the MD5 errors, if they can even be called that anymore. I made a bug report about it. IF you do read the report, please refrain from fighting or rampaging against anyone or anything. Fighting and nastiness are not going to help, but i think i have found THE core problem with terrain resets. Keep an open mind about it all and if you want to help figure this thing out, do so responsibly please. I may be risking a lot uncovering this, because it's all hush hush from the responsible side. Some of what we were told about how the game saves and the limitations of the consoles is correct-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay37 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Okay call this a WIP but it may be my final. I got a weird terrain glitch where I could see through the ground and see my tunnels underneath. The glitch is shown in this video. Entirely done on insane difficulty, no armor no sledgehammers etc etc... Let me know what you think ☺ Also no duping. Cheers, Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckystrike2778 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hub city build rooftop style would be neat too. Lot of good ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSplintfast the Pungent Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Solo. Survival. Mostly default settings with longer days and respawn. Spamcrafted anvil to get crazy high toolsmithing. Just a little taste. More on my eponymous YouTube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static_Shadow(PSN) Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I finally figured out a functioning and effective form of drawbridge! Photos to come soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Such good builds everyone! I love how everyone has taken the design differently. I was worried the next challenge might find people stuck with similar designs... but now I'm excited to see how you all interpret it - Part of the challenge I guess! I've started a spreadsheet where I'm keeping track of player Final Builds, so don't forget, when you want to submit please title your post FINAL BUILD like Funk did. No takesbacksies so make sure you're completely happy with your design! Screenshots and video clips are both allowed. If you need to host on a 3rd party site like Imgur, that's cool, just link me. Similarly PS4 can upload directly to YouTube but if you're on XB1 and want to use 1drive then I'm all for that too =D 5 Days to go!! tic toc tic toc...

clay37 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Very nice build Clay. Definitely easy to defend and I laughed hard at the fine art booth. Clare is gonna love that part. I was wondering how many people would get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypusmuerte Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 FINAL - Shamalot So our settings for the build are all on normal difficulty, not creative. 3 of us played, I did most of the building, but Mrs Platy and our friend Ghost helped with defenses, and hunting/foraging. Only had 1 terrain reset to deal with, and it was early on so no major loss. Here is a album of images of our Shamalot: http://imgur.com/a/aYEDN Here is a walk-thru video: Sorry, I took the screenshots and walkthru at the end of a stream, so sorry for my mug! haha Difficulty: NormalPlayers: 3Creative: OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damselx1 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 [FINAL BUILD] [PS4] [Moderate (Default) Settings] [solo Build] So here it is, my final build of the castle. This has been done as a solo build (single player Shamalot map), on moderate difficulty (so default settings). I would have added commentary as I toured the castle, but when I did a test run, I could barely hear my voice, yet the game sounds were as normal - may need to try playing with the settings for future videos. Hopefully you can see what I've tried to do. Oh, and it's my first every youtube video; the jerky camera is me trying to make sure I get as much in view as possible, not lag from the console. I will get better - I promise. Hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your glitch - I had an issue like this on a couple of occasions. I've usually been able to fix it by either wacking the ground around the glitch, or just quitting out and reloading the map. Hope it's not affecting your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glitch was there this morning when I reloaded (49 day horde before work:), I'll try the ground wacking thing tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out for you. What I did was whack along the ground close to it; the land popped back piece by piece, until I must have hit a sweet spot and it all sprang back.

Funkinstein Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Lol thanks, I know it was good, but you, Platy and Clay built some super impressive things that I wish I had thought of, lol. If I'm going to lose, I want it to be to something amazing. That said, I'm happy to lose because the scale and detail of all 3 of your bases is amazing. That damn wasn't from disappointment, more like oh holy damn, look at that thing, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinderbloke Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Impressive guys. Mine is going to be a WIP when submitted, work commitments have taken over and had to go away lodging. Lets hope the next build will give us a lot more blocks and things to play with (Fun Pimps are you listening). Just goes to show the console community is still going strong, we just needs more stuff to play with now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That damn wasn't from disappointment, more like oh holy damn, look at that thing, lol. I said pretty much the same thing when I saw your build. I couldn't believe the size of it; it made mine look tiny by comparison. I've been really impressed and surprised by the builds people have shown; there's some very creative people here.

I tried, no luck though - covered the entire thing with wood frames... I'm going to proceed on cleaning up the back area and hope for the best.
