Revision as of 19:15, 19 August 2008

The example diagrams for building a tower only work if you have a 'floor' (ie, walls from below) at the same width as the tower floor you are building - if you are trying to make a larger room above a smaller one, scaffolding (i prefer floors) will need to be appended to build the corners, because you cannot build a wall diagonally. Having built an inverted pyramid, this is a mildly annoying building concern, and the diagram should reflect the presence of a wall below where you are building. --Squirrelloid 19:50, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

It should probably also be noted on this page that you can hang up stairs off a ledge, but not downstairs, which means building down (without carving stairs into something) is hard. This would really only come up if you were trying to build something above and going down towards (or going down into!) a lake, ocean, lava pool, or sufficiently wide chasm, and avoidable in some of those cases. (Yes, I am trying to build down through ocean right now). --Squirrelloid 19:50, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Tower Guide Showdown

The first section of this page duplicates my tower guide. I know I'm pimping my pages here, but perhaps a link there would make more sense.

Honestly, I think my version is better. --Strangething 15:15, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
