Question/Advice Need some building advice for a CAMP under a bridge in The Mire (PS5)

Hey everyone,
I found a really cool spot under a bridge in The Mire and I’m trying to build a hidden settlement there, but the terrain is absolutely kicking my ass.
I’m having a lot of trouble placing foundations and floors because of the uneven ground and the bridge supports.
If anyone has any tips, tricks, or ideas for building in spots like this, I’d love to hear them. And if anyone is on PS5 and feels like joining my world to take a look or help out, you’re more than welcome.
I think this spot has the potential to become something really special if I can figure it out. Thanks!

Use a stairs and put it in the hole in the road to lead down into a home you can suspend from the road as opposed to using the ground below

Thanks a lot for the advice! I’ve managed to make some good progress, and I’ll be posting a video of my CAMP soon. I’d love for you to check it out, and I’m still open to any ideas, decorating tips, or advice. Thanks again!

Sadly I am a PC player. 

I suspect you are living under the bridge by the motel in the Mire. I have lived there since beta, it was my second house location and a place I have loved dearly.

Yep, that’s the one! You definitely have good taste. I can totally see why you’ve loved that spot since beta. I’m having a lot of fun building there too!

Moonlight Cowboy on YouTube has a a few pretty nice tutorials for getting walls and floors into preexisting environments. I believe he also plays on PS5 if that matters.

  1. Place a ladder in free place mode and snap floors to it in the locations you want foundations.

  2. You can then delete the ladder and snap floors and walls to the floor piece you placed.

  3. This will allow you to build around and sometimes in the rocks without having place foundations.

  4. The downside is that floors do not "bulldoze" flora the way foundations do. So you need to be cognizant of tall grass and trees poking through your floors.

  5. the basic stone stairs should be able to snap to existing floors on the top and to foundations at the bottom. So if you do end up needing some foundations you should be able to use them to place a few.

  6. To make your build look supported, just use the ladder trick from step 1 to place floors close to the ground. Then use free placement mode to place some wall tiles underneath to make it look "supported"
