That sounds great, I look forward to it

[RedKetchup]

these screenshot looks .... ok ? interesting ?

Looks good, though I hope it won't be tricky to find places for them given that they need to be set into the mountain-side.

An alternative for the roof could be green or sod roof, which has been fairly common in Norway and Scandinavia. Here is a picture from a Wikipedia article, which happens to be from Farao Islands. Maybe the transition between mountain and building/roof would look better?

Hmm, this forum didn't like the quarky URL, so here is the indirect link instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nor%C3%B0rag%C3%B8ta,_Faroe_Islands_%282%29.JPG

i can try

the big giant mine is tricky to place cause it s huge, this , the placebits arent that big, the graphic overflow alot cause it needs to enter inside the mountain.

[RedKetchup]

hmmmm not sure :S 

[Pangaea]

Oof. That looked very odd indeed, and it doesn't really look like grass on top either. Just go with what you feel is best, it was just an idea based on buildings we have here.

Very nice, @RedKetchup.

Here in Region of Waterloo (Southern Ontario, Canada) even many new suburban tract houses have root cellar rooms in one corner of the basement, so it's not just Poland or Scandinavia. Of course, we do have Old Order Mennonites and Amish and traditional farmers' markets here, so maybe it is that influence.

4-5 times i m trying to find something but ... it always looks odd 

[RedKetchup]

finally after an hour........

came back where i was

it is perfect like that even rdy to release it ^^

30000 weight storage. or fruits or vegetables only.
36 wood, 58stones, 12iron
need 3x3 row depth of mountain
poeple can directly put the fruits/vegs into it, and grab them if they are starving or hungry ^^

all ok for you ?


ps. i even took time to make old age curves in it. people reproach me i am making my building too much ... straight (too new from IKEA^^) while all the game buildings have 'curves' 

[mellowtraumatic]

Looks great! Can't wait to build one.

[Pangaea]

It does indeed look great, and like the grain silo, fits very well within the original game's artwork.

I'm humbled you named it after me as well. Thanks a lot

Very impressive how fast you work too, you must have learnt a lot during these last few weeks.

[RedKetchup]

oh it would have took me an hour lol
but i lost like 3-4 hrs just to try to find a way to always make it look good whatever the mountains looks like. i know there are still some cases.... but it is mostly good.

the stones are from ... the hospital's walls and the roof is from... the tailor's roof
