Discussion: Ghost House

[Paeng]

This one seems pretty ambitious... 

[Abandoned]

That is one pretty cool looking tree house, I'd like one of those myself, room with a view for lots of squirrels too.

I agree, I want a treehouse like that, but...

I decided to go on a different approach with three trees
and some beams to get a bottom. Now I have a solid
foundation for a house. It will not be big. There's a lot
of branches everywhere so I must avoid making a porcupine.
I haven't started yet but I have tested with three trees and
it works.

The reason I asked about Forest Outpost mod was something
someone said about wanting a treehouse in the forest.
To me it is perfectly OK making a stand-alone mod with new textures.

It will not be ghosted. Small footprint 4x4 with branches hanging out.
The house will be 3x3 tiles and if you opt for a 2-level house I can try.

Sounds perfect and what I had hoped for.  The 4x4 fits with the theme of the Foresters Outpost, they are all compact, but mighty!!!  It's my fave go to start buildings


Looking forward to seeing how your ideas flesh out,

@kid1293 , @QueryEverything and I will both be looking forward to the treehouse.  It will certainly go with the Forest Outpost theme but stand-alone might be better if you are thinking of other pieces to go with it.  Forest Outpost set could use an addition of a slightly bigger matching house for a larger family.

Yeah, same here... it's so... elegant - doesn't look "alien" in the tree at all

Looking forward to what you're planning... looks like forests will soon change 

[kid1293]

Help with code, anyone? edit - SOLVED

Is there a limit how steep citizens will climb a floor?
I made a floor, same angle as the ladder. Didn't work.
I tried to make very small 'steps' all the way up. Didn't work.
Noone uses the ladder. They go to a point under the house.

edit - Just a number error. I asked them to climb 90 meters up.

A tree house is better than a ghost house.

[Abandoned]

 :)Well, that is one very nice looking tree house.  Like the ladder.  Do the trees change with the seasons?

[kid1293]

Yes they change with season.

I took some trees from my Deco Plants.
Next time I will try with a new model. I have ideas.

[Paeng]

I have ideas.

 

Nice PoC... maybe needs a bit of a platform, some railing, some timber works...?

[QueryEverything]

That's looking great

[Abandoned]

@Paeng , maybe needs to look more like part of the trees, same bark perhaps.

[kid1293]

I guess you are going to like this one.

Tree House

 

[Abandoned]

I sure do like that one, I can see it now in the forest with your decorative shrubs blooming around it.  It will sure make a nice looking little village.  Thanks @kid1293
