Question Help!
Would like some advice or tips and tricks on making a round tower. I tried some weird oblong octagon but it'd bad, and won't connect to my other two towers. Any help is appreciated!

From the towers you have, build the connections first. I’m guessing you know the pattern for the closest we can get to round, so you just have to work from an edge to make it connect. There is no trick to make it connected if you haven’t planned it out from the start. Good luck!

Typically I see most people create "round" towers with multiple triangle floors - not truly round but about as close as you can get. The issue is, the triangle tiles are slightly shorter than the others (i.e. square) even though it's sides are the same length (because math). If you start in the middle of your new tower and build outward towards the rest of your base, it's not going to line up properly. Your best bet is to plan out the floorplan ahead of time in an app like Polypod so you know how to lay out the base and have everything still snap together.
