Suggestion for Foundations Add-on

[Kana292]

First love the add-on. It has been killing me to wait all day at work to play with it. It's worth the wait so far. Thank you!

For the actual suggestion, the dirt/grass blocks look strange with concrete sides. If there is more agreement, I would suggest changing the side textures for dirt/grass blocks to dirt.

 

[Taligaro]

I agree with this.

I would also love to see 1xHalf and Quarter options added like the Warehouse Flooring.

I added the concrete sides to the dirt blocks, because I thought it looked odd if you have a terrace style build, like the Sanctuary build I created. I might look at creating a separate version removes them, but that will be after I finish the SimTowers building I'm creating, and the addition of the 1/2 block.

For some reason, if you switch from 1x1 (when it's at near ground level) to 2x2, the 2x2 appears below ground level (on the XBox), unlike say vanilla wooden floors which appear in the same place/level/height.

What's the best way to use these?

I've had that happen too. If it is causing problems for you, you can adjust the height of the block. On xbox I think it is HOLD (Left Bumper+[A] Button) then use the (Left Analog Stick) to move the elevation of the block.

Hope this helps

The way I use the foundation so far is to almost entirely fill out a settlements that is of uneven ground. It also comes in handy if you want to have say a row of houses or businesses to be even with eachother without having to build stairs in all kinds of weird ways. ill post a screenshot later of a settlement I set up using the block at sunshine tidings co-op.

@Yuisaniv That's a post card quality Old West town, I feel. Beautiful! I have to ask, though - how close are you to the settlement cap? That looks like it took a lot of foundation blocks.

 

[JtBryant]

The foundations only have 12 triangles each. Compared to the shack walls, which can vary between 800 to 1500, they not going to use much of the cap.

I play without the settlement cap limit, but I disabled the cap limit mod just to check, and I've only filled the bar about 70% of the way.

 

[WeiseDrachenJaeger]

Fantastic! I haven't done much with the foundations yet, so I wasn't sure. Definitely looking forward to using them en masse.

Wow, nice job with that

@JtBryant, I suppose there wouldn't be any chance of having snap points at the mid way point on the height of the blocks?

 

[JtBryant]

I was already planning to add more snap points to allow for stacking, I'll look in to adding some more on the sides to allow for easier terrace building.

Great minds think alike then (but they do also say that Idiots seldom differ [before someone else says it]).

 

[parrotheada1a]

Just an idea, but what do you folks think of making plots even bigger or different configurations? 4x6/8 or even 1x4/6/8 etc. I'm thinking if were gonna terraform, bigger could be easier.

 

[Matthew Watkinson]

Hi @JtBryant, Just an idea (when you do get around to upgrading the Puzzle Pieces) but would there be any chance of angled pieces, i.e. 30 & 45 degree angles.
