As promised several weeks ago, I have continued with the base, mostly on interiors. My interiors are not the top quality, I still do not have proper grasp of interior chiseling, so sorry for TOBG vibes. Also, I consider the the castle structure practically finished now. It is practical, sustainable and it has appropriate size and equipment to accommodate 2-3 friends, would they visit.

The main change since previous post was addition of the tower top room and conical roof. I can give some advice now: NEVER build a conical roof above tower whose shape is not precisely symmetric :) . But it is done.

The roof came out quite well, finally, if you close eyes about some detail:

I really wanted to have this high tower observatory, because it was proper place to put my Jonas tech:

The other change of the outer looks was adding a colored shingles and a bell tower to the chapel:

As I promised, I will provide a tour through the castle itself. Let's start with an uppermost courtyard, where cementation furnace, beehive furnace, kilns and and some other tech stuff is jammed. The location of the castle on a narrow ridge between two lakes is good for the defense, but for the expanding my industry, I had to distribute all tech carefully (and moved it several times).

Just next to the courtyard, we go into first floor of the "old" castle. It contains a smithery and a pulverizer room underneath. You may notify that the floor is partially packed dirt. I is the second oldest room of the castle (the first one is in the tower bottom floor). So I keep it simple.

Before we move into second floor, let's comment some other amenities in the base. In a east side of the castle (visible on second photo), there is a henhouse, pigpen, tool shed, greenhouse and leatherworks. There are apiaries in the north, currant bushes and fruit trees in the east and a flower park in the south of the castle. The power is transferred from four-windmill setup located about 50 blocks north, aside of the castle area. In the lower floor of the new (classicist) castle is an automated quern, kitchen, food cellar and store room. Second cellar (the old one) is under the tower, serving actually only for storing wine.

Quern:

Food cellar:

The new castle is separated from the old one by lower court. Both castles are connected by a roofed corridor in the second level, above eastern entrance:

In the old castle, the rooms dedicated to the seraph are located in the second floor. The original knights' hall was refurbished to serve more as conference room, where the seraph may discuss further plans with his associates. As you can see, the plans are just being prepared.

The seraph's study is conveniently just next door. There is everything needed for the exploring the lore, and also some Jonas parts are stored here - the safe ones. I did not finished yet a very small laboratory, hidden behind the wall with the fireplace.

The last room in the southern part of the old castle is a chapel. I have shown interior pictures already, so there is not much different.

Moving back through knights' hall, a room in the second floor of the tower serves as a museum. A showcase of loot and nature miracles serves also as a waiting room for guests of the seraph if he wants to delay them a bit. The room waits to have its valut chiseled, so I will skip it. But the exhibition corridor from the new castle is already finished:

This corridor follows a staircase inside building from the main entrance. Let's descend one floor lower as we just came from the garden.:

Now we are in part of the castle dedicated for quests. To provide help and equipment, an armory and cloakroom is located just to the right:

On the opposite side, there is a biggest room in the new castle: A ballroom that is purposed to hold parties and have fun together. It has also its own entrance. I am not yet fully satisfied with the interior, as it lacks much detail. My plan is to replace a floor and to add curtains. However it will be probably challenge to chisel - so, later.

In the inner side of the new castle first floor, connected with the balroom and also with its specific entrance, there is a dining room. As in the case of the ballroom, it is not yet fancy enough. The furniture will be mostly chiseled in the future, at least I hope.

As we already visited a kitchen, storage rooms and quern below this level of the new castle, we may move up, to the second floor of the new castle and the last section of the tour. 

The purpose of the second floor of the castle are rooms from seraph's closest and a guestroom. The western wing of the new castle contains two rooms for seraph's family. A green room and a pink room:

The eastern wing is dedicated to quests. There is a gaming room (where you can play on an omok board) and a guests' bedroom.

I did not show some remaining rooms, particularly in the old tower, where the rooms are not finished yet. There is an old kitchen with wine cellar, aforementioned exposition room and a seraph's bedroom above it. All these rooms were built before I got more familiar with chiseling, and especially their valuts need big chnages. So I will let them for later.

And for the farewell, I'll show one of first screenshots, made before I knew how the base would look like. I sit on the castle tower first roof. The room on the left is the old smithery, just the castle was built over it. Thanks for reading a long post, it was fun not only to play the game, but also to write it.

Oh. Can grain be stored in the basement not only in vessels, but also in boxes?.. Well, my cellar is in for another makeover.
