Planning and Leveling the Ground
In Enshrouded, it’s important to start by leveling the ground. TotalXclipse recommends using the rake tool to spread out materials and define the area. This allows for a smoother building process and the ability to add features like dirt or stone roads for extra detail.
Creating Cozy Rooms and Adding Depth
When planning your build, consider whether you want to include a cellar. TotalXclipse suggests digging out the space for the cellar using the hammer and terrain tool. It’s important to have enough space to add a floor and full-height walls to avoid feeling cramped. Additionally, adding half timber walls and a layer of wool along the bottom and top of the walls can create a cozy and detailed look.
Playing with Materials and Roofing
TotalXclipse recommends experimenting with different materials to add visual interest to your build. Mixing materials like stone, refined wood, and half timber walls can create a clean and unique look. When it comes to roofing, it can be challenging, but TotalXclipse suggests using multiple layers to make the roof thicker and hide any materials poking through. Diagonal placement of roof pieces can also create intricate architectural details.
Custom Fireplaces and Reusing Items
For interior design, TotalXclipse suggests building custom fireplaces using braziers. By placing a small level floor beneath the hole and clipping another floor piece into the brazier, you can create a perfect fire pit or a stylish fireplace with a custom mantle. Additionally, reusing items like windows and candles can create alternative fencing and trellises for gardens.
Building Tips for Beginners
If you feel overwhelmed by the building system in Enshrouded, TotalXclipse recommends placing your house near other buildings on the map and repairing them instead. This way, you can still have a nice-looking house and add extensions as needed. Furniture and fittings within the house contribute to your comfort bonus level, so it’s worth considering early on.
