Helst_navngivet Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 Our homestead, original house was the sod roofed cobblestone to the lower left, the house was then expanded with the cobblestone tower, somewhat visible, to the left of the picture. During the winter the lower right house was added, this was the first build to use beams. In year 2 (time the screenshot is taken), our main building was expanded once again, adding the big house to the upper right, with the green windows. This made heavy use of support beams, and a 6x4 frame for a painting was made on the upper floor. The big house is not quite finished yet, the windows to the left side of the building (not shown in picture) is yet to be finished, as they are quite detailed. This is the mill, with our quern (functional) and our hammer and pulverizer, the latter two, however, are not functional, as our mill does not have enough torque yet to operate them at a sensible speed. When our flax harvest comes around, we can hopefully make some large sails to finally realize our milling dreams. The attached sod-roofed building was the original building, and is our smithy. The base of the mill was then built in the later part of year 1. The mill as shown in the screenshot was completed at the very start of year 2. The chimney does have quite the unfortunate shape, however. Note that we do have a rather large wall around our home, will take screenshot of it later, aswell as the interior of the different builds. 5 1

Lampookie Posted June 16 Report Posted June 16 Very cozy, Love the use of sod roofing as I've just started using it in my world! 1
Helst_navngivet Posted June 16 Author Report Posted June 16 @Lampookie Sod roofing was mostly because we live in a desolate, winterish hellscape, with no flax, cattails, papyrus or any other forms of useful plants, however in retrospect, i dont really think there was a better option for those two houses, even if we had access to them. Sod roofing just looks so nice! Also interiors are coming when we are out of the winter!!!! Pictures of walls and other buildings are coming but also after winter!!!!! ALSO ALSO there has been some remodelling so some areas around the build are drastically different!!!!!!!!!!! (whole mill area has a greenhouse, farm and kiln building now)
Helst_navngivet Posted June 16 Author Report Posted June 16 Starting off second volley of pictures, we have our no-longer-existent packed dirt hut! It no longer exists, as we tore it down and moved 200 blocks further west, which changed our winters from "10. november-6. march" to "3. october to 12. april", which we live to regret forever, as our first winter scarred us mentally. (we survived off of starving to death until we could get food again, 40% of our playtime is from that winter) The hut itself was made of packed dirt, with a crude door that never really broke, and a hole in the left wall meant to be a window. In the uppermost right corner, we had our fireplace, consisting of 3 firepits in a triangle shape. When all three were lit, which they almost always were, the whole house would fill up, as our chimney was not really functional enough, leading to our window sucking out some of the smoke. (We play with the realsmoke mod on our server, for context.) Some of our first non-wolf/bear related deaths were smoke ingestion. This meant we spent most of our time outside the hut, turning off fireplaces when sleeping to avoid suffocating to death. We also lived near a tiny cave, meaning the occasional drifter or bowtorn would show up to our house, typically scaring us a bunch by throwing rocks through the window. We also had a Kiln, however that is not pictured. This kiln here was the same shape as our house, with 3 pit kilns inside. We had around 2 deaths related to running into the kiln and getting lit on fire in all of our huts lifetime. as for interiors of the hut, it was nothing special. It was two beds directly opposite of our fireplace, and a diverse range of whatever things we picked up. (most prominently our feather collection, with our copper nugget collection coming in at a close second.) We were completely new to the game, if you couldnt tell.
