#polis construction

it's been a while since I built anything, so I decided to start off simple with a small island Hylotl house, inspired by this image from Law Chang.

It's next to the original construction on Polis II, and will serve as a bridge between that build and one I'm planning on the other side.

It's a big bigger than the last one. I wanted to make it bigger because the old one felt kinda cramped. Now I think maybe I made this one a bit too big 😅️ At least it gives me space to expands from where I shoved everything in the top row. And I'm slowly, in 4s intervals, managing to get back most of what I left on the old base.

The animal farm is a bit smaller than previously, but no doubt it will expand in time. I took the opportunity to install some new mods (I need to update the list) including 'New Farmables: Fish' by Azure Fang, so I'm currently living on fish pie 😅️

Likewise, the crop farm is much smaller than before and definitely more higgledy-piggledy in terms of organisation. It's fine; I can sort it later if I decide it needs it.

This is the bottom layer of the right-hand side of the Polis II-c colony.

Here we have a 'tech' friend into their retro arcades and vaporwave (WW furnishing, Foodies furniture, nuggubs' Vanilla+);

Testing out the slime set (Foodies furniture);

An 'attract a tenant with a tungsten lamp and door' quest, which I decided needed to be a scientist (Foodies furniture, Prop pack, nuggubs' Vanilla+, More Outpost Objects, Extended Furniture Crafting);

On the other side we have a 'Nuu' friend (Foodies furniture, Maple32);

Another 'tech' friend, who I decided was an avian compsci person (Foodies furniture);

A 'Submerged' friend, whom I spent ages retrieving the stuff from the Altais Old Mine colony for (it's not craftable, only available from underwater Nuu vendors) (Maple32, Prop pack, nuggubs' Vanilla+, Elithian Races)

This is the area that links the top left and right sides of this colony together. I thought I'd try out some of the wallpaper techniques suggested by marionandinteriordesign. IDK if they're any good; they are very small spaces.

Here we have:

An Apex friend

An 'iron chair and iron lamp' quest

An empty space for a spare workbench and forge (and a spare bed for someone)

A trader of unusual things

The teleporter, and a Totally Normal 1960's Earth Police Box.

And now for the very top layer of this new colony on Polis II-c:

A big market and laundrette - mostly because I wanted to play with the washing/ drying machines from Vanilla+ (Vanilla+, City Co. Street Props, General Store, WW Furnishing, Cozy Furniture Pack, Prop Pack, Immersive Props).

A security base, from a 'I want more protection' quest. Again I had a play at making the background a bit more interesting. I think I'm getting the hang of this! (Maple32).

A chillout area/ path (City Co. Street Props, General Store, WW Furnishing, nuggubs' mod suite, Artifact Trophies, WW's VA-11 HALL-A, Prop Pack).

A 'Nuu' friend, who became a hydroponics scientist (I'm rather proud of the wallpapers in this) (Maple32, WW Furnishing).

An 'Alliance' friend, who became a Librarian (Elithian Races, nuggubs' Multiverse Goods)

And the continuation of the chillout walkway (nuggubs' mod suite, Maple32, Extended Furniture Crafting, More Outpost Objects)

Hi, I've been busy :D

In the first pic, starting from the left, we have a human trader. I had a new type of 'wants more friends' quest which was to send me running thither and yon for the materials to make an iron table and a tungsten lamp. Obvs I couldn't leave this poor person with just that as furniture, so I added some more.

Across the top we have an Akkivri friend, again from a quest. The Sharp room you know about, but the glitch next door was a request for a guard.

Second pic, again moving from the left.

I found a new furniture set in the Multiverse Goods, but as it only came with a chair, bed, dresser and shelf I sprucided it up a bit.

I found the plans for the Perfectly Generic set from Vanilla+ (and they worked this time!) so I added that to next door.

Above was a request for a human friend; I haven't used the 'modern furniture' mod for ages, so decided to throw that into the mix.

Below was a request for another Agei friend, and finally on the right was a request for a human guard.

I've got three more requests in the works - a Tech, Odd, and 'brutalist' friend. Tech is almost finished and the Odd is in the works. I'm having issues with the 'brutalist' one though. I'm assuming it's another mod-added furniture set (probably nuggubs) , but I haven't yet found any blueprints for it...

So I flew over to another planet in my new system, Polis II-c, and completed a 'wants new friends' quest I had left over from Altais, for an Agei friend by refurbing a ruined tower:

And then, because I was in the middle of replicating an old build when my planet instability started, I had some giant flower furniture lying around, so decided to make this place:

And then, of course, I can't let things be, so I added some rooms on the top here:

IDK which mod added it, but I suddenly had the ability to craft 'sharp' furniture, so I made one of the rooms into a 'sharp' room.

Now I'm just waiting for these guys to ask for more friends - unless anyone has a suggestion for what to build next?
