Building tips and tricks #2
More community building tricks: removing trees with stone platforms, window layering, dining table steam effects, hanging planters, glowing stone lanterns, and lighting with rotation.
A collection of creative tricks shared by the community builders in the Discord #tips-and-tricks and #construction-help channel.
1. Removing trees with a stone platform
by Xela
If you cover the water area with a large stone platform, it removes the trees around it. This frees up a significant amount of space to decorate, giving you a much cleaner canvas to work with in that zone.
2. Window layering trick
by [A]
Layer a circular cutout panel with a decorative screen behind it to create a stylish window effect. Simple to execute and works well on mobile too.
3. Dining table steam effect
by AegisNite
Place heating pads under a dining table to create a steaming hot pot atmosphere. The pads are hidden beneath the table, so only the rising steam is visible, making the scene feel alive and cozy.
4. Hanging items with chains
by AegisNite
Use hanging chain decorations as a base and slot plants or lights into them. The result is a dramatic ceiling installation, great for indoor or covered outdoor spaces.
5. Glowing stone lantern
by Crueliet
Insert a regular lantern inside a guild-only stone lantern to make it emit light. The stone lantern on its own does not glow, but nesting a lit lantern inside it brings it to life.
6. Avoid placing components parallel to the sun
by WindXP
Do not place components parallel to the sun’s direction or they will appear completely dark. A slight rotational tilt is enough to catch the light and fully illuminate the surface.
