Your Own Building Code
QuantumEagle:
Whenever I always built stuff in the game there's this little part of me that keeps poking me to do certain things for certain reasons. Sometimes those things become hard set rules I set for myself and always follow. It's almost like a building code.
So far I personally have:
* Hidden supporting bricks must be painted red, so that the wireframe ghost can be seen when holding the wrench.
* If red cannot be seen, use white or bright blue.
* When building any building, always place it on top of a set of ModTer cubes. You never know when you might want to add a basement.
* Build the floor (or at least mark it) before you build the walls, not the other way around.
* Walls must be at least two studs thick to allow differences in on both sides, as well as to add engraved features on the outside.
* The optimal height for each floor of a building is 7-10 bricks high.
* The optimal height in which windows should be raised from the floor is 2 bricks high.
Of course, those are my own and people have their own sets of building code. If any, what are your own personal building codes you follow?
