Ragnarok - Day 24

Moved over a bunch more of my dino's into my storage base.  Its starting to fill up pretty quick but it's looking pretty good.  I have a few empty rooms that aren't for dino storage but I think I will leave them empty for the moment until I have some new idea's on what to do with them.  I spent a bit of time under the newer base and painted the castle structure under there so it stands out better against the outer stone wall.

I wasn't too happy with how it was blending in so much.  I don't think I've mentioned this but I'm colour deficient and only see 10% of the colour spectrum.  Maybe it would look ok to everyone else but to me it was just blurring together.

 I promised a better shot of the under base entrance and here it is also painted black.  I've added a room under it which will be empty for now but its another space for a vanity project.  I seem to have ample rooms set aside for vanity projects lol.  I might need some suggestions on what to fill them with.  I won't be adding any more mods (I don't want decor mods that make things too easy or too prefab) so I have to come up with idea's that I can build with what supplies I have available.

I decided to try something different to hide the underside of the entrance ramp.  Normally I would box the area in and be done with it but this time I went with another route.  I decided to have a go at upside down building.  I've done the inverted towers which inspired me to want to try an actual upside down base but this is different entirely.  The towers are built to look upside down where this is in fact inverted completely.  I didn't wat to build it with the wooden framework showing on the underside (which would detract from the end result).  I noticed when snapping to and around the ramp that some of the ceilings were snapping upside down, so I used that to start things off.  The very bottom/top tier does have ceilings the correct way up but I couldn't seem to get them to flip with all the existing snap points.  As you have to be almost under them to notice I wasn't too worried about them.

Here's a shot looking into the structure where you can see the ceiling tiles in their inverse position.  I wondered about making accessible rooms within it but with the ramp in the way I decided against it this time round.  

I've done some weird building in Ark but I have to say constructing inverted has to be the weirdest.  It considers the snaps inverted as well so you have to take that into account.  For eg I built it outwards and downwards first and completed the battlements before extending it upwards towards the ceiling.  To add the outer section of ceilings I had to extend a wall upwards an extra to create a snap point it would let me use.  Anyone that has built a wall downwards and tried to snap a ceiling to the bottom knows that you have to have the extra wall in place to get the snap.  

Here's another shot in better lighting for the contrast of colour.  I really like stone in black it looks great.  I found however, that the half walls only paint on one side for some reason.  So from the inside of the battlements there are patches of unpainted stone work.  Hopefully this will be addressed at some point.
