Ragnarok - Day 31

Not a huge building day I'm afraid.  Spent a fair bit of time exploring the map to find a spot to build my first way station.  I did however build a deepwater pier for the new submarine.  The lil dock area I orig built is way too shallow for the likes of that.  Oh and for anyone else that is curious:  No I don't have leeds on this map.  I had a few private messages asking about it :)  I think the leeds was a bad addition to the game.  So many people love rafts and raft building especially early game to have Leeds there just to mess with them (wouldn't be so bad if blocking the raft in foundationss worked as armour) is a bit of a dick move.  I also don't have Giga or Titano's on this map.  These are dino's that I don't think belong in PvE and its my world so its my rules ;)

I decided to use the underwater pods for this pier so that I could do the glass sides and see underwater much better.  The glass sides took much longer than I would have liked due to the Model and Transparency gun not targeting the glass.  The pods seem to get in the way a lot which is a pain when your remodelling lots of glass.  

This is a back/side shot of the submarine raft from the new pier.  I'm still pleased with how it turned out.  I'm not a huge fan of leaving the pods as standard I would rather replace them with another material and make them invisible but the increase of structure count would be crazy high.

So I started my first way station in the redwoods.  I've been messing with how I want it to look.  I've replaced the entire thing (foundations and all) a few times now.  I have an idea I'm aiming for but as with all Ark projects I'm keeping an open mind as I may adapt it as I go along.  This is still a very early stage of building.  As anyone that has been through the rest of the posts if I really get stuck in buildings can go up exceedingly fast.  Once I nail the look I'm after it should progress a lot faster.

I also decided to alter the font back to something more simple.  I had to go looking for some information for someone from one of my earlier posts and hadn't realised how much of a pain it was to read.  Hopefully this is an improvement.
