Completed Project/update application: Norrey

[CashBanks]

Hey Aeks, thanks for taking a look at those points we flagged, I just took another look around and spotted only a couple of last things to tidy up.

Some smooth snow lines at Norreyham1


These were the stacked snow piles that I believe Lem was referring to. I think they might still be a little high compared to the snow around them. Solutions might be to either smooth our the snow around them so it's a more gradual incline up the wall, or lower the height of the stacks, or maybe drop the height of the house as well. I could be persuaded if it's a deliberate style choice where they packed snow along the walls as extra insulation, but I'm not sure if that translates well enough to not just look a bit out of place.

Post-approved by me once these are points are settled. I think Lem's travelling at the moment but might be back soon I think?

Sorry, haven't been traveling but have been unable to come on the server. I'll be all set to post-approve once Cash's points are addressed.

EDIT: After talking to Aeks in Discord, I've asked him to make the snow-covered turf look less like snow mounds. I'll post-approve once that and Cash's other points are addressed.

Hi, I am becoming active again on the server. I have been going around and fixing up the turf walls, increasing the amount of dirty snow within them and adding reinforcing stone or wooden walls along the too tall ones, like those Above than Cash linked through

 

[AerioOndos]

Hi, I have fixed up every house I can think of where there was an issue in every hamlet, often making little gardens, or small stone walls reinforcing, or continuing the turf down so that its a 45d angle.

I still need to fix up the various unsmoothed snow lines and selection edges all over the place but can have that done pretty quickly.
I am completely mad, and so am thinking about taking up another snow project because I love building snowy houses. Either someone submit one quick that has houses (NOT TENTS OTTY) so I can build or I am going to punish myself all over again and apply for Flint of the mountains.

Save me, please

but but.... turf houses....

 

[AerioOndos]

I do believe I have now finished the smoothing of the lines.

Check out ASAP please!!

Amber?

 

[AerioOndos]

Amber means big ringfort, lots of earthworks and *checks notes* making some amber dredging areas. Also Redo to make the wolfswood more deciduous, like Zytomyr province in the Ukraine (without the tanks)

Hey I think I'm just about ready to post approve, I think those piles of snow along the walls of houses are looking better with the muddy snow mixed in, a bit more wattle here and there would help with showing it's deliberate as well

Only other point would be to maybe give a little more love to the main path leading into Norrey village, if the whole village uses it to go out every day it would probably look a little more defined/widened for sleds and horses.

Otherwise I think Lem will have time to take a look in the next week or so and give her notes too. Thanks for all the hard work, I know what a mammoth task these snow builds are.

 

[AerioOndos]

EDIT:
I've made the two updates you mentioned and will look through other buildings in the project to see if I need to fix up those too.

Looking forward to hearing from Lemon

 

[lemonbear]

I finally had a chance to look at the changes you made, and I post-approve! Great job on the project

 

[AerioOndos]

Hey hey! Thanks Lemonbear and thank you for bearing with us on the whackiness that is snow.
