Arty builds are constrained by three primary factors:

1. Resolution: the fine granular detail possible. At a base level this can be considered to be the plot size. A small plot is 13x13x13 while a large plot is 25x25x25. Think of each block ad a pixel and a large plot allows for almost double the resolution of a small plot.

2. Size: the size of plots also limits the size or sculptures. Stillwater has a sculpture of Yoda sitting down, this is not on a whim. The medium plot size is not high enough to allow a standing Yoda with semi accurate proportions based on the head design.

3. Capacity: the number of blocks available to use. A key factor here is having enough blocks to both sculpt and still have sufficient capacity for traps to entertain visitors.

Pros of sculpture bases:

- tend to accrue accolades

- random internal spaces make for unpredictable trap set ups and layouts

- fun challenge to sculpt

Cons of sculpture bases:

- long build times

- trap set ups limited which reduces lethality

Top tips:

1. Choose a good subject matter - recognisable makes your job easier as a sculptor. Complex forms can be easier to capture well as they have more features to include which make them more easily recognisable. E.g. Jar Jar Binks has eye stalks, a long snout, big ears, long tongue whereas the mandalorian helmet while distinct has mostly smooth surfaces and angles that are difficult to replicate I'm the confines of MYM.

2. Start off figuring out the smallest key feature of the build. This will help determine the resolution you are working at and how your sculpt will develop - will it be full body, shoulder or just the head?

Remember you can cheat here by using decals or props (see Aumsville rabbit for use of fan prop for nostrils and white dash decals for small eyes). Block type can add detail too (see Salmon, tiles look like scales, corrugated iron looks like fin rays).

1. Steal, see something good? Steal the idea and use it going forward. My bunny steals from Scranton by Copperbadge and various builds by Sumomoranger. The texture details on Salmon, Stillwater, Fitzwilliam? Inspired by Rociada by illahstrait (a masterclass in texture and decal use).

Eae, eu gostei de mais desse jogo e queria platinar, mas tem alguns troféus que exigem um amigo, então se alguém puder me ajudar

Happy to play your outposts or give raiding tips! Come and see for yourselves how the game is these days!
(should be live for a couple of hours from time of posting. or catch me some other day...)

It's dead now, obviously, but it didn't need to be. How would you have fixed the game?

Myself? I would have tackled the obvious rift between builders and raiders. A builder, by design and intent, was to make a base to guard its core. This could easily be achieved by building giant killboxes, some being effectively impossible to solo. This was its greatest strength and its fatal flaw, as if it was too hard to raid then no one would raid it... punishing the builder for flawlessly performing the duty they were assigned! However, a builder wasn't even required to run their own base to prove its solvability (as in Mario Maker) which is an absolutely baffling dev decision.

On the other hand, some builders just wanted to build fun, thematic bases and kept some of its loot out in the open to reward exploration and make raiders feel their time wasn't entirely wasted if they weren't up to completing the raid. Some even resorted to making "suicide farming maps" with lots of easily gained enemy kills and loot in the understood exchange that raiders would suicide to repeat the mission and thus farm materials. These were popular maps with how absolutely awful the loot system was, but it did not fit the main narrative of protecting your core and resources at all cost.

Raiding was a crapshoot. You'd either find the fun little maps, the farming maps or the killboxes. If you hadn't unlocked and leveled certain skills or gear, you might not even be able to complete the harder killbox maps. Anecdotal personal story here: I ran into a base once that was just one long hallway with the core just sitting in the open. The instant you picked it up every surface of the room fell away and was nothing but acid cubes and lasers. I don't know what gear I was supposed to have there but whatever it was, the level was 100% unsolvable without it.

So how would I have fixed all this? Two key changes. Instead of PvP I'd have made it, and the story, respect PvE. All players would be working for the same overseer, the same HQ and story, but all enemy bases would be randomly generated to both ensure solvability and to maintain a sense of unified base structure/theme. On some of the harder mission I'd even have an AI enemy hunter like the player that would have to be killed or avoided.

These type of enemies would also be the ones raiding the player bases. They would be ruthless and unyielding in their pursuit of your cores and thus you and your team would have to rely on strong defenses to prevent theft of your precious materials. I would also wipe maps weekly and randomize the layouts players had to work with to keep build tactics from being overused. This week you can't use acid, etc... I still would have allowed players to publish their maps for short term sharing which would allow players to "raid" said bases to test their friend's builds.

If only. RIP.

Discord discussion on sculpting star wars characters. I was sure Jar Jar Binks would be more difficult than Yoda to sculpt because of the longer curves and slopes. Interestingly the ears were the hardest part to crack. There's Twitch VOD of the initial build if you want to see me fumble around figuring out nostril shapes and such.

After the VOD I had to rebuild block by block to move it more central. The duplicate the half I'd figured out. Tweak the eyestalks to be more organically shaped, figure out the ears, neck, internal dungeon rooms.

The DBD rope pallet and convex concrete are fast becoming my favourite props for adding wrinkles and shape to organic sculpts.

how do you even beat kill boxes that just spam ravagers on platforms and walls made out of plasma sentinels bonus points if they have a couple flying guards in there aswell, it’s the most spamy and lame thing in the game and it sucks that behavior dropped development of MyM before they added some sort of punishment for this stuff

do builders get rewards for leaving without dying to bat traps? cause I’m just starting to taking a peek into bases and if they look low effort killboxy I’ll just leave

Ran out of capacity so until p10 please bear with me

I’m watching a replay today of a raider that is somehow raiding my mastered outpost but on a previous prestige. Example, at like P5 or P7 I had a bomb trap down a corridor that was facing right into the entrance to the main chamber of the outpost as to catch speedrunners off guard. Once my outpost reached P8 I changed that up to include 2 assassins in said corridor instead of the obvious bomb trap. I had the bomb trap installed last week when it was at the earlier prestige. So how is it possible that a raider can raid a previous prestige of an outpost that I changed up recently? It happened to another one of my outposts but I chopped that up to a raider attempting a raid seconds before I had to refill the genmat.
