AmyRainbow Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I made a structure to fit with the land and the weather pattern of the area, so the snow storms blow through below the glass sections of the building. It took a long time to work out and build, on official PVE server. Everyone on the server has commented on how good it looks and often comes to visit and ask about it if they are new. My concern is that as it is only 'attached' to the ground by 1 main support pillar (and an elevator track) is it considered as an exploit and 'floating structure? the ground is layered in foundations and the only reason I decided to try and make it floating is to showcase the fantastic snow storms that pass that area that may otherwise be obstructed by the base. The result is, it also look pretty impressive (to me anyway) Could I get some feedback and if so I will add the necessary additional pillars if need be. It would be a reall shame to obstruct but I dont want the whole structure to be destroyed with no warning! It's our home!! :)x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natman Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 wow that is really an amazing build! I guess (and hope) it is not illegal, as it has full foundation support underneath. That rule applies more to structures that dont have that, like the builds people came up with for rafts and platform saddles, which were not connected to the platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyRainbow Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks Natman! I really hope that's the case :) Makes more sense when you put it that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaProiettile Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 On a PVP server that should be grounds for mass deletion by the admins, obviously no one is going to care if its on a PVE server though which it looks to be going by the colour scheme and design.

Kazaryu Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 afaik its basically up to an individual GM's discretion. and on PvE its unlikely anyone is going to care since you're not really doing anything that affects anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArianaGaming Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hello, I am looking forward to a community live stream visit since Your build is awesome. Regards, Ariana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitSandwich Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 your saying its connected to ground with one pillar.... I guess not an exploit because its a building mechanic in game for ages now... only thing is be careful nothing breaks that pillar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demerus Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It is illegal, and comes with a very strict penalty. You have also built in an endangered wildlife reserve location. You will have to pay a fine of 10,000 ingots and your breeding license will be revoked for a period of 90 days during which you will have to relocate and rebuild your entire base. After the 90 day period, a safety and building inspector will come to your server to make sure your new structure is rebuilt to proper code. If you do not meet the 90 day deadline your steam account will be suspended. This is non negotiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdligerAdler Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Illegal? Nah. But better build that pillar of metal or tek just in case. Interesting build btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArianaGaming Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hello, Just so the build remains. Do nothing to the pillars. I would add a second support of walls and a foundation. If that is even possible to build down. I mean just to have a second structure support that is not pillar and ladders. But walls ceilings and most likely a pillar with ladder to ground it all. Hope it helps keeping you safe or safer. Regards, Ariana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoOsmo Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Building is legit if it's normally supported as your building is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1nk Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Is this the old building mechanic prior to fix? I know theres a few legacy bases with floating buildings but unless they rework the foundation support system this is totally legit. You arent even using the floating pillars In fact, I do every single bridge/ramp in this fashion. Ive had a GM in my base back on legacy and he had nothing to say about it. (I also had a floating building like this) You are fine I would worry more about ninja foundation support changes than a ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogspoison Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The build itself is fine, even on PvP servers, since it's possible to demolish WITHOUT having to fly. Floating Structure's are truly floating, with their foundation support being IN the air, and thus significantly harder to raid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
