Help with building

As far as I know, a block is 0.5 m.

A 1x1x1 block is indeed ~0.5m (or ~1.64 feet). For more accurate measuring, there is also a measuring tape available, which allows you to change the unit by holding c (but in survival mode, it can only be crafted at the modern workbench)

Just to help you a bit... I usually start with the outlines of the buildings and it's inner walls. Incl. The staircases, entrances, etc.

Once you are happy with that, just add up on this for every level of the building.

I recommend challenging yourself a bit more well, by adding a few rounded edges or details . That will help you to get the from the typical blocky shape and the learn faster

Dalshok Given the size of your house, I’d advise you to sketch out a floor plan on a scrap of paper or however you prefer. I wouldn't recommend incorporating curves right at the start, as you’ll likely want to familiarize yourself with the building mechanics in Rising World first. I have a few curved walls in my house, I’ve been building for over ten years and I can tell you that it’s not as easy as it sounds. It’s not the actual construction, but the planning.

Later on, you can build whatever you like, including furniture and decorations.

well, if you use the right prompt, yes. though without a clear prompt it will just create an abstract or complicated plan. AI is not a search engine that works with rudimentary phrases. but yes it can help

I want to object you a little bit, Deirdre. I recommended doing a few rounded parts because i think its vital to get into the building system as early as possible. The goal should be to build the best and most flawless building right away but to do mistakes and learn from them. If you don´t go outside your comfort zone and experiment, you will not learn at all, or much slower than necessary.

And i am not talking about complicated rounded structures. Maybe use different block shapes, to create rounded edges for hallways. Or use the Pivot points to create a few rounded ornaments on walls or chandeliers or furniture.

Avanar I get where you're coming from but I think curves are a bit too ambitious for a beginner; you have to get the hang of the controls first. I was a server admin for years and I know what people tend to build when they're starting out, you don't want to overwhelm them; one step at a time. My advice is to just get a feel for the game first. You have your opinion, and I have mine. A quick smile, and everything's good.

Dalshok Yes, exactly, first get a feel for the game.

Maybe, yes. I personally need a challenge to learn. Make mistakes and learn from them.

But everyone is different there. Just go as you feel
