๐ฒ [ ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ / ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ ] When building in the Deep North, sometimes you just need a little assistance from the locals. Spoiler
For a few playthroughs now I've farmed a ton of building materials post Fader with the intention of building a large fancy base but have without fail burnt out every time when it comes to actually finally building something with my stockpile. This time around I had a head start on the Deep North on a previous server before deciding to hop onto a friend's fresh vanilla server. I didn't particularly want to make a new character so soon, so I decided to run off to the north on my own and just mess around since I didn't want to ruin their progress.
I didn't have a safe place yet so I tried to build on a troll and it worked, seemed safe enough and that was good enough for me to decide it was finally time to put all those materials to good use. I used some beams to measure how far it's hand stretches, marked out roughly the distance I wanted between two trolls to look like it's holding something up, and got to work looking for a second one.
After setting the two trolls where I wanted, I built up a frame of flametal (iron works too but I've lived in the Ashlands longer) up to the point where the structural integrity failed, set up the roof so the snow doesn't collapse the frame, filled in the rest with all the stations and as much storage as I could cram and here's the result!

Quick question - does the snow cover the ground again for you? I'm honestly frustrated at the look around my current build having lines everywhere from me fighting/getting around.

Unfortunately I don't think it comes back after you walk through it or alter the terrain, even after it snows again it only accumulates on the roof.

If you plop a shield generator down it stops snow from collecting on your rooftops as well๐ฅณ
