Hello everyone,
Finally managed to get a modded world stable enough to have a few large machines running and enjoy their use, including an autonomous concrete factory. With that I’ve built some walls and then realized I don’t have any real experience with modern architecture… so I’ve got a giant white brick surrounding my machines.
Honestly, I’m not used to building on this scale either so I’m not sure how to make this look nice on multiple fronts. One thing I do know though; I don’t like glass curtain-walls so I’d rather not do that for this building in spite of it certainly being big enough.
Any ideas?
Whenever I am building larger structures, I find it helpful to design smaller modular pieces that can fit together to make a larger structure. Maybe you can start with the corners to find a good way to outline the building, and then come up with some variations of tiling wall segments that you can repeat 3 or 4 times across the width of the building. Here are some examples of larger builds from my vanilla world that are just a few modular pieces put together into a larger structure:
