getting more complicated (for me anyway)

Hi, I'm Still enjoying building different buildings and getting used to using the system.

Today I've tried building a small food/toilet block. again its quite simple but ive started using the scenery a little more to pad out the main building.

Again id appreciate comments and any ideas to improve.

nice! maybe you can add some trees behind it to give it more of a depth? or in the front will work aswell, rocks in the front trees in the back :D
 
Those glass path covers are a great touch.

I also like how you didn't put the red bushes in the center, but I was wondering if you could rotate one of those red bushes and overlap them in a way to get just a few red spots to unify it?

I agree the glass covers are great - I've never even through about rotating them that way - I always seem to have the black bar part on the building - Thinking outside the box! well done.

I also agree witht he comment about the red bushes - if you look outside plants don't grow the same, so I would suggest you quickly press Z between each placement, even a little shift up and down - just a few pixels is all it needs an it would look much better - again they don't always grow to the same height.

Keep it up!
 
thanks for all your comments, I love the glass coverings myself too, I couldn't seem to get them to look right at first but then they sort of just clicked into place.

Yeah I see what you mean by the plants, i'll go back and give them a little bit of an update.
 
Nice building. When we get more vegetation in the game, like smaller shrubs and plants, gardens will look nicer. We are pretty limited at the moment as far as planting out gardens is concerned. However you can make the red bush and yellow conifer tree look like small plants, by lowering them into the ground, just so the tops are showing. They then look like small plants.

thanks for the comments everyone, I've taken them on board and given the building a small update (added trees around the outside, rotated my bushes more and added some extra colour into them (thanks for the tip Coasterbuff)

My next attempt is 2 pirate themed restaurants, my idea is 2 ships at war, not finished yet as you can see I need to set up the tables and lighting in Cosmic cow and chief beef needs a little more dressing up but thought i'd come and get some opinions from you guys again as to how you think these could be improved :) Hope you like them

Nice like the two "ships". not that guests will walk through the walls as the paths are next to each other, Frontier KNOWS about this problem and are looking into it (just saying in case you're now aware.
 
If the boats are shooting at each other than they are probably from different Lands, and differing ideals. Maybe make the boats/stores look very different on the out side. Maybe one is a little longer, other a little taller, differing rails on the top deck, windows different. Could use the sign trick to color the deck or use the wood sign for wider planks. Have two masts, or a double height mast, or make your own mast from pieces. Seaweed could be hanging off one... Kraken wipping its tentacles at another. [pirate]
 
Why didn't you use two Galleon Ships for the sea battle instead, they would have looked more realistic and you could still place the firing cannons in the sides of both ships. Just my opinion.

I attempted this and just couldn't get it to work with the restaurants attached without it looking a bit daft.

This will be the plan eventually, to start with I just wanted to get the basic shapes and ideas in place, i'm hoping to make them look a bit more like enemy ships as I work on them, for now its just an idea I wanted to play around with and scope what people thought :)

Thanks for the input everyone :)
