Ultimate bricks packs?

[pogran_]

Hi,

I'm new to Brickland. Very impressed by it and by what others create with it so far. I'd like to replicate some LEGO models (whatever models I will find possible to replicate). The problem is that the default selection of bricks, while it is amazing, is not enough for some use cases. And after visiting some online Brickland servers where authors host their creations I've realized that there are some great bricks add-ons out there. However, I couldn't find a convenient way of browsing the add-ons to pick-n-install what I find interesting.

My question is: are there some pre-assembed (I mean a zip archive containing zip archives of add-ons, for example) packs that I can just install and start my local game with all bricks add-ons selected and find my way through them in the game?

If you're not aware of such packs and you find needed bricks easily, please share your search process then, maybe I'm just missing something.

I've tried browsing the Add-ons thread in this forum, I've tried Brickland Glass, I've browsed the archived clone of RTB - it all takes a lot of time to try & keep or uninstall each add-on before finding something useful, really really time consuming and inconvenient. Please let me know if I'm missing something though.

Thank you

Think this is best for finding bricks. While not all bricks ever created exist here, some of the most important do. Not sure exactly what you need, but I would go with Blackdragon's packs first, they contain a lot of must haves. Uploads have pictures with them so you know exactly what you're getting.

I'll help you out. Here is a download for a couple of very popular, widely used add-ons. You can just keep the bricks if you like. (To install, just drag the zips into Blockland/Add-Ons to copy them over)

lol I'm too, after realizing the misspelling :)

Sorry for the mistake. I meant "Blockland" of cource, however brickland sounds not bad too... didn't make it on purpose though :)

Thanks you! It all helped, really. Found many useful bricks through your links. I think, however, Brickland deserves a better directory of add-ons, it's all a matter of knowing exact URLs now rather than having a resource where all add-ons can be just easily browsed...

Sorry, made the exact same mistake again, not on purpose, I've meant "Blockland"... damn it, I just can't help myself but think about bricks and not blocks in this game...

You should also look up the bricks by WhoooMan. They are all in addons, not on an rtb archive. just use the search function and limit the search to addons, then put "brick" as the search value and WhoooMan as the post author.

you can also just search vehicle bricks, lego bricks in the addon board.

Gotta plug my own stuff. My brick packs probably have more bricks than you will ever need. Another excellent pack is BlackDragonIV's Brickpack with the filler.

For a handful of random add-ons (nearly all are mine), check: http://mirror.dataorb.net/blockland/addons/

I've used both Demian's and Blackdragon's brickpacks over the past 7 years and I have to highly recommend Blackdragon's (no offense demian!). They're both pretty good but Blackdragon's has a wider variety of bricks, all fillers included.

[Wesley Williams]

You get a ton of repeats when you combine Demian's with BlackDragonIV's filler. I stick with just Demian's because that's what I've always used, but it would be great to see Demian make filler packs for each of his basic brick packs so we don't have to deal with the repeats when using BDIV.

Thank you. Downloaded lots of bricks lately, including Demian's packs, it starts to make more sense now.
Are you aware of any castle themed bricks / packs that could be used in these sets:

http://brickset.com/sets/6086-1/Black-Knight-s-Castle

?

Most of that looks like it can be built with normal bricks. If you're interested in castle stuff I would recommend these medieval brick packs though.
Pass' Medieval Props Pack
WhoooMan's Medieval Bricks

Those are very good for interior / exterior castle related stuff indeed. I've also found these:

And the best finding - someone made the raised baseplate used in 6086 LEGO set as a brick add-on:

But it was a pain to find these... I wish there was a better directory of all that stuff.

I guess I will start building these castles using normal bricks and see where it goes.
