This is the first video I've seen of someone actually telling how to build on uneven surfaces, so it got a thumbs up and this comment to get the algorithm to recognize it.

oh man, are you ever gonna hate-love dwarf fortress. the building is 100% grid based, and you "can" micromanage everything! .. but it's the most overwhelmingly complex chaotic game, to handle. pure joy...

Snapping in this game needs serious improvement, and the "object in path" needs to be a toggleable server setting. Just let us place whatever. Valheim did building so much better because it had so much less restriction.

Honestly, my biggest complaint about the game is that foundations dont snap to other structures and the collision detection is way too sensitive when placing everything used to form buildings. I hate gaps in my base. Whether theyre just ugly, or if they actually allow pals to get out. It would also be nice to be able to square off corners on hills. You should be able to place a foundation as long as its adjacent to two other foundations.

Grwat Video! I have an idea for how to get perfect angles, look at your compass when placing your first foundation. Align it to N,S,W,E and align when building.

Great tip!

This is crazy. I JUST built my new base at this exact location but just a bit more down as it was more flat there. This place is just beautiful and seems to be peaceful. I thought of building going up with multiple stairs, but i didnt want to bother with the hassle of trying to figure out where a stair would work.

I don't understand why the devs didn't allow you to stack foundations. It's a mechanic in EVERY building game. The same with how the gates don't snap to the walls. WTF? Hopefully, they address these issues in the future. Oh, and add a creative mode!

Great video keep up the grind! 🙂🤙

I basically did the same thing with different parts using the same concept of measuring and guessing. I felt doing it from the side was easier to see alignment but it's probably a personal preference or possibly the parts I used like I built downwards once using the walls and found out the platform has to be halfway through to get correct alignment.

Put an arrow sticker where your N, E, S, W marker is will help you line up with upper foundations more easily.

That's a great idea, thanks!

I have a light on the bottom of my monitor that is centered exactly. I go in between 2 foundations, line up their connecting edges with the light, and line up my cursor with the same line to get as straight as possible.

STARFIELD has the ability to HOVER over when building so u can see your alignment… they NEED to do this!!

Hopefully they have that on their roadmap.

My 3rd base is on top of a waterfall. The bridge over te stream did cost me an hour to make (foundations all around the lake) and still wouldn’t connect with 3 overlap. Then a big stairs down to the bottom of the waterfall only to see the AI walking in to the water. Totally unusable base but beautiful 💀

That's where this one ended up for me. Unfortunately bases and pals don't work well with multiple levels. Hope they change it cause there's some gorgeous landscapes!

How come I keep seeing all these giant bases without a blue boundry ring? How do you eliminate or expand the ring?

@spriggy5176

So, it does have the blue boundary, anything outside the boundary is damaged over time, but our server disabled that in settings, so there's a little more building liberty.

the foundations are in the same "snap" ? I mean, can u build a ceiling all the all through all the foundations like on ARK, for example? if not how to do that?

No snap yet, this is a cheap workaround that's kind of close until they add multi-level snapping.
