  1. 2:00 A land bridge is not the best if you want to be able to sail a boat under it. Also it doesn't have to cost thousands of stone if you place each bit of fresh land right at the upper edge of the land you're extending instead of starting from the bottom and working your way up, much like the pickaxe will bring down the terrain level to where you're digging from.

    The fact that a floor panel will snap to a floor edge underneath one which you are pointing at the top of is not something I had discovered, thanks for that! I had been using a variant of your approach where a floor panel is placed over the corner of the floor to be extended so I could stand on that and be able to aim at the edge of the one I wanted to extend and build supports at the same time as needed. This will certainly speed things up.

    Building a wood beam off the side to balance on while you build supports seems a little risky though, when you could just build a full floor panel hanging halfway over the side, which you'd be a lot less likely to fall off of.

    That core wood bridge does look great. I wasn't aware that core wood didn't degrade, so that's good to know!

    One last thing though: You can get vertical supports (and other things) to snap into place against surfaces you can't aim directly at (because they're facing away from you) using a trick similar to the one you show for placing floor panels early in the video. For example, placing a vertical beam centered against the edge of a floor so half of it sticks out above and below that floor, in a position approximately one beam-width from the corner of that floor piece, will allow you to aim near the top or bottom of that beam and get a similar beam to snap into position over or under the corner of that floor tile. You can do the same for extending a beam: Place one beam alongside another, as far as it will let you, so that half of it sticks out and half of it is alongside the beam you want to extend. Then aim at the edge that sticks out to snap a beam into the place you actually want it.

  2. Very nice tips, thanks for this video. I want to share one placement tip for the core wood bridge which probably can be used for other things too. After placing the first beam you can use the 1 m beams as snap points for the first inner beams and then place two doors on top a side beam. This gives you a snap point in the middle of two beams and then you can use the 1m beams as snap points to fill in the bridge. This will result in a 9 beam bridge, but it will be perfectly aligned. Using the doors as helpers you can probalbly create other configurations too.

  3. I was wondering how to go about making a boat yard and the best ive found is stacking wood pole fence ontop of eachother. This is amazing and going to change so much about my dock. Tyvm

  4. Bro. Thank you SO MUCH. Building docks literally made me rage with this game. I basically stopped because I couldn't take the aggravation anymore and just did D-Day beach style landings.

  5. I got a swamp near my main base. It’s on an island that takes 30 seconds to get to by boat without wind. I think I might try that core wood bridge. I got several stacks of dark ore to bring over.
