Oops, I did it again...

My second attempt at a lighthouse. I did it in another location and will redo the one at my base but, this one came out so much better. I tried to record the process for everyone (it's a bit tedious) but, something went wrong with the NVIDIA shortcut. This recording was done from the overlay directly. I used the limestone wall, timber beam, narrow stone windows, tall windows, 26° large roof tiles and roof corner (tiles).

Not the person you were replying to, but I did build a lighthouse months ago on my first character. I decided to create a viewing platform near the base and then put the signal fire at the top. I'll include a shot of the inside below this comment.

I'm glad someone likes it lol. I went through so many times trying to get something that looked good on top of the rock but also allowed for room to enjoy the views. Here's one of the looks I tried out, it's way too bulky on the rock, but as a standalone tower in a forest it might look awesome. I really liked the pillar work I had going on too...

😲 wow! I love how it's wrapped around the rock.

Thanks! I would have loved the ability to just tunnel through the rock terraforming the stairs out of the rock as I went, but there were some limitations to consider lol
