I like a lot of the cutesy small builds that i end up making, i feel a lot more satisfied with them, but given how I'll need to worry about food storage, animals, and smithing, I might plan out a bunch of small buildings that are specialized for what I need instead of one large base
Side note I love VS roofing now, I wanna try out the other woods from wildcraft trees combined with material needs color options but there's a lotta comments talking about how much RAM that mod eats up from all its assets. I have a beefy computer now but those comments still make me nervous about running it. Might instead try bricklayers or clayworks
