Ragnarok - Day 10

I only had a few hours tonight to get some building in but I had been brainstorming how to improve the look of the base and better tie it all together.  I had an idea for the main shaft leaving from the top to the bottom.  It looks kind of strange at the moment but once it is finished and another 2 put into place I think it should look pretty good.  The scrollwork turned out about as good as I could expect.  I wish the bent bits down the shaft transitioned a little better but like I said when the other two are in place it should look pretty awesome.  I'm going to make the existing shaft completely transparent (I've already removed most of the stairs within it.  They were never meant to be used anyway.  The idea was always to use Teleporters to move between the levels.  I had thought of removing the shaft completely but the way I'm building the scrollwork it needs some extra bits to anchor it to.

I did run into a snag today...  I hit the structure limit haha.  This is one of the problems with working in tri.  The tile sizes are smaller so you need more to complete a larger area.  I really hope that we get some new sizes.  A 2x2 square that fits the underwater pods would be a great start.  Also a tri tile to match it.  A tri underwater pod would also be amazing.  I've doubled my structure limit to 20100 which should easily finish the base.  I've had a few moments of FPS drop but after a couple of restarts getting the structure limit to work its been running much better.  I'm considering making the semitransparent dome on the hatchery level one way.  In S+ glass is prob the most FPS dropping structure.

I had some crazy raft idea's today.  They will have to wait until I'm done with this project before I tackle them.  As frustrating as it can be I love to have more ideas than time to build them.  I have an idea for 2 kinds of raft build, 1 rather shapely tower, a new kind of spiral tower base and I really want to build an inverted base.  I spent some time looking around the map for some big overhangs but I've only seen a few small ones.  I'll keep looking hopefully something pops up that I can try an inverted build on.

I've seen a flaw in my scroll work that means  I may have to redo the one I've already been working on.  I'll revisit it after completing the other two.

Lol look I "made" some new friends today.  I've added the gardener, farmer and herder to my bar and a couple other places to make it feel like there are more people are here.  I'm not lonely...  I swear lol
