Realist 504 Posted September 26, 2019 I know it is too late because you already made the islands but you better have made some nice flat/semi flat spots. I build big and I don’t want the leaning tower of Pisa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted September 26, 2019 Well at one point it was entirely possible to build out over the water, which was really cool, using pillars as foundations. Then some bug made pillars non placeable under the water. If they fix that bug, then you don't have to worry about having a flat place on land, just find a decent beach with shallows and build out over the water. Honestly It's what I'm going to do with my next spot as long as the bug is fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forb Hidden 134 Posted September 27, 2019 In the cold regions you will find a lot of frozen seas. Sometimes they are really huge and you can't find a flater ground than there. Allows you to build with foundations instead of pillars and ceilings. This is important, because they still not fixed the bug, where several ceilings just disappear for no reason. And you don't want to build your resource-chest on a ceiling who maybe disappears when you are not logged in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samstag Freitagsson 49 Posted September 27, 2019 with foundations youcan build in the water too, lakes or shore. over a lake of drinkable water isnt a bad idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rasemaier 16 Posted September 27, 2019 simple trick how to set a foundation almost always. For example, you can no longer place a foundation next to the one you have already placed. then you build a roof on it and a pillar under the roof. Then you remove the roof and now you can put a foundation in the pillar at the same height as the already placed one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foundation only gives support if it is the lowest AND has the decor on it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
