Progress (Update II + III + IV + V) (Patreon)

Update II: Basic breakdown

- A basic structure has now been raised from the ground. 

- Loadshedding is more forgiving this week, which means I'll be able to make a lot of progress from this point forward. Lest the schedule changes.

- Palette and structural layout can be ignored for now, I tend to change or add a lot of different elements in a short span of time.

- The build will soon find its place in a survival setting, I just want to get a good grip on where I'm going, and what I'm doing before that happens.

- I'm currently working on a couple of custom trees that will bring the build to life. Nature always has a way of bringing out the best in something that initially looks bland. 

- If you have any suggestion as to what you wish to see added, I'm all ears. 

- I'll upload new screenshots as the build progress, though I'll omit the closing stages of the build for obvious reasons. I don't want to spoil the final product. 

If you need help with anything building related or beyond, you know where to find me. Peace, and much love! :]

Update III:

More substance have now been added to the basic frame of the build, though still elementary at present. I'm also having a mixed perspective as to what the final palette will be if it were to be changed with progress; I don't know, maybe I'll keep it as-is.

Internal spaces are plentiful, working out what each section will entail is a lot harder when you have large spaces to work with. I don't want to give my interiors a copy-paste feeling, so I'll have to do some thinking without making a mess of a clean presentation on close inspection. 

Loadshedding, though less prominent this week, is still a thing. I've gotten used to not being able to build at the pace I used to since constructing my first build on PMC. I'm sure things will get better in my current country despite the upheavals. It's honestly not worth the stress factor in defiance of a national crisis, I'll have to make the most of what is available to me regardless of how little I have compared to what I used to have.

Aside from the build, I'll be spending time with my family this weekend, you know, just to keep the bond strong with those close to me while maintaining a balance between health, work, builds and social relations. This simply means that I'll continue working on the build come Sunday evening when everything starts to settle down; hope you guys understand. :]

PEACE, AND MUCH LOVE! :D

Update IV:

After an endless cycle of whipping things out and getting over antiquated ideas that just didn't feel refreshing, unnecessary infrastructure were reconsidered and restructured with a level of patience that yielded sufficient merit to consider the exterior a done deal. I'm sure I'll add more external detail when the most daunting part of the build is at rest; interiors.

Again, despite "work and play", I usually add as much time as I can on my builds while focusing on a bazillion other matters that carries enough significance to demand my attention, and qualifies tending hours for survival and health.

That being said, my next direction is to start sectioning off my interiors before figuring out how I'm going to approach each room as I move along. Interiors might seem like your typical "slap and go" drama, but it can actually be a very sophisticated affair; often demanding external remodeling to appease cohesion between both aspects of the build.

Since the exterior is basically consolidated aside from miner tweaks that will be applied post-construction, It makes little sense to add new screenshots as spoilers. I'll keep you updated on the process nonetheless; with hopes that a completion estimate will be available soon. It will at least give you an approximation of what is yet to be completed, and how long it will take before completion based on that estimate.

THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH ME. YOU ARE NOTICED AND GREATLY APPRECIATED. MUCH LOVE!

UPDATE V:

All interiors have now been sectioned, followed by the completion of one entire floor out of three. I still have about twenty rooms to take care of, which naturally follows with tweaks to the exterior, reevaluation of the interiors upon completion, and fine adjustments to overall detail. For now, I'll continue focusing on the interiors and what purpose each room will define.

As before mentioned, I'll have to make efficient use of my time by juggling my life, work and building while being compromised by "loadshedding". Despite it, I think my progression has a productive sweep regardless of external influence that stifles building flexibility. Who knows, maybe I'll invest in a generator/inverter when I make enough income from both avenues. It will at least give be an uninterrupted flow when making progress with current and future projects.

This of course affords a statistical estimate based on what I observe at the moment, thus-

Progress Estimate:

Exterior = 100%

Interior =100%

Terraforming = 100%

Detailing = 99.9%

Appreciation = 369%
