NotEvilAtAll 10906 Share Posted October 25, 2020 In which I build a halfling build on my singleplayer creative world everyday until i’m pretty good at it or something. today I’ve gone completely insane. I’ve deviated entirely from my old tried-and-true method of building burrows and done some fancy new stuff. I loaded up my save of Ceru and found a cool halfling burrow to replicate the style of. Pictured below are some images of the burrow I’m trying to imitate: As you can see, this burrow is VERY different from the sorts of burrows I typically build. A lot of my initial inspiration to build burrows came from burrows that look like this (the first burrow I ever made borrowed its spruce + dark oak checkerboard pattern), and I wanted to pay homage to it and its style now that I’m more skilled. Some things I tried out in this build include: -checkerboard pattern with wood -stairs in walls and ceilings -staircases and multiple levels -funkier ceiling designs, often varying from room to room. -using a long hallway instead of a big entrance room and a small hallway branching off of it. It’s a lot harder to do outlines with this sort of burrow. I sort of just went with whatever I thought looked cool. The majority of the dark oak logs I placed for the outline were replaced with other blocks as I build up the frame of the burrow more. Not sure if I like the checkerboard pattern, but that’s how these sorts of burrows are. Also, I’m really unorganized, so I built some furniture before I even started on the ceiling. The burrow I’m trying to imitate has a lot of skylights. Thus, I added in a lot of skylights. I think I shouldn’t have added in so many of these, as they hurt my ability to do what I wanted later on in the construction. Notice how the back hasn’t been covered with grass yet. I did that for a reason. This is my first failed attempt to build the second level of the burrow. It didn’t go so well. Turns out that making weird snaking pathways above a burrow doesn’t work well, so I just stuck to the ground a lot more. Annnnd it’s complete! Finishing touches to the exterior. Side view The first room is a mudroom. This is because mudrooms exist to be the first room you enter in a building. Funny how that works. You can also see the main hallway in this screenshot, with the floor sloping downwards gradually. To the left is a small library and a work room. I didn’t know what to put in the work room, so I just put in some crafting benches and a blast furnace and called it good. To the right is the dining room. This window is rather large, but I think it still works. If you take another right after entering the dining room, you enter a lounge area. Nothing much here besides a big ol’ sofa and a cup of joe on a small table. If you instead take a left at the dining room, you come across the kitchen. The path to the left of the screen on this image links back up to the main hallway. To the left of the area riiiight in-between the dining room and kitchen, there’s a small bathroom. You may have noticed that there’s a door at the end of the hallway in the first screenshot. The door leads to a staircase. This staircase design looks weird, but it’s functions very well mechanically. You can go down a ladder in the staircase room to enter a wine cellar. There’s also a melon here, because melons find their way into every nook and cranny of a well made burrow. If you instead go up the staircase, you find another door. This leads to the bedroom. A bedroom for 3 people. No master bedroom in this burrow, sorry. Everybody is equal here. Exiting through the bedroom. Maybe having the bedroom so close to an entrance is a bad idea. Maybe a simple window with shutters on it would’ve been better. notes to self: -checkerboards are stupid. don’t ever build a burrow like this again. -don’t put entrances right next to bedrooms unless there’s another door inbetween ‘em. -don’t spam skylights everywhere if you’re going to do funky stuff with height. -stairs don’t look very good for ceilings unless it’s a high ceiling. -think of a cooler chimney design ‘cause the one i’ve been using is a bit too retro.
